Bugatti- DONT LOOK IN HERE THIS CAR IS A SECRET Koenigsegg- Here’s how you build a jesko

[@bzdtemp]

Yes. I really like how open and friendly Königsegg are about how they do things, videos like this and for example the ones where Christian explains and shows their free-avalve tech, how they did the Regera hybrid "clutch" and more. I know that unless there is a substantial lotto winning in my future I'm unlikely to ever own a Königsegg, but getting to learn about them is very cool.

[@ShadowRomeo1784]

Koenigsegg has been doing this since the start i guess. I mean just watch Drive series about Agera's production. And also Koenigsegg has the How to made series episode as well. But so does Bugatti with their Veyron though.

[@mrtoppistonhead]

Hey man bugatti doesn't need to sneak in here if they want they can much better car on there own.

"Good for him" - Christian von Koenigsegg on John Hennessey

[@ueehurstonsecurity8887]

side by side ide say Hennessy is an engine manufacturer in comparison to christian being a car maker. hennesys cars never perform very well on track compared to Christians cars. compared to standard road cars sure Hennessys cars are in another league and will douse any commuter street car on a circut. but pitted up against a agera RS or 1:one he makes the venom and his new f5 or whatever its called look like a glorified drag car. Edit: this is my opinion btw so i hope im wrong and Hennessy really makes an incredible car this time, the Venom GT was a little underwhelming

I love how this is truly a boutique car maker.

[@davidhansson7041]

I like how he said it'd run on E85 aswell as petrol. E85 is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline and is classed as a more enviromentally friendly fuel. Added bonus is less taxes :)

[@antondresucks6055]

and a few hundred extra hp doesn't hurt

[@stevemiller1626]

Ethanol is not any more environmentally friendly than gasoline.

When 99% of car company's say they are trying to make the best car they can you know they lying, when Christian says it you know it to be true.

Define best. It's not the best for my mom because it's not economic and can't hold much luggage and it's too expensive.

Hennessy will never be on this level. There’s much more to a car than how fast it can go. The attention to detail and engineering that go into Koenigseggs is unparalleled. People think that Tesla is the most innovative car company, yet the engineering level of a Koenigsegg’s production makes a Tesla the equivalent of a Prius. Every single piece of a Koenigsegg is art.

[@chromeztv4122]

When you see all the hours of work that is put in to build such a masterpiece the price doesn’t seem so bad afterwards.

Im a proud Swede because of you Christian

[@marklingenfelter6938]

I love how down to earth Christian is, such a cool guy.

[@Schooops]

Damn. Christian is such a nice guy making it so easy for the interviewer to talk to. Interesting insights in the pros and cons of making it driven all electric.

Thank you for teaching me how to build a Koenigsegg. I will go down to Bunnings to get the parts and get started right away!

I can’t be the only one that’s bothered by how much he keeps touching things..?

Yer not the Lone Ranger, no. I think the Top Gear guy's a right git.

[@frivolas]

I kept waiting for someone to yell at him, LOL

[@availabledark]

He mentions how things shouldn’t be touched without gloves and then proceeds to touch nearly everything with his greasy hands, including an engine. SMH...

1:01 That’s not Koenigsegg’s logo, it’s an homage to the Ghost Squadron

It’s remarkable that with the small amount of models koenigsegg have produced that they already have unmistakable heritage and characteristics that identify them as a konigsegg straight away . And C v K seems like the genuinely nicest guy in the game . 👍🏻 great success !

There's something truly stupid about going 300mph and not taking off

Ever heard of Thrust SSC

[@ShadowRomeo1784]

With the help of aerodynamics design such as Downforce it is definitely possible. The only limiting factor is the Rubber tyres.

[@HyperVanilo]

Well the Agera RS managed to reach 284 mph a year ago, what's stopping them to reach 300 mph?

[@AnthonyBennettKY]

Hennessy is a crook from way back - approaching 20 years. Takes customer cars apart and cannibalizes them for project/magazine/tv vehicles. Then, marks them up to celebrities for exposure. Rinse and repeat. How, he stays in business is amazing.

The Jesko has 1600 Horsepower, thats the same as 2x Mclaren Sennas. Can you believe that, a Supercar with 800 hp, everyone would call that bonkers and nuts and this Monster just doubles that. Having that in Perspective how many cars worth of power you can fit in this car is just absolutely crazy.

[@punkem733]

Koenigsegg, in their short time of existence, has become the best car manufacturer ever. This small company is pushing the limits, and state of the art, with the greatest hyper cars ever.

[@MDDeGrande1994]

Hell, even their FIRST production car (the CC8S) already went almost 400 km/h (384, to be more precise), on a highway in Texas in the early 2000s, I think. And it's still the highest speed that's even been reached on the highway. How IMPRESSIVE is that?
