to be honest, being banned for being too fast is actually a Badge of Honor

[@Crooked_Clown]

Being banned for reckless and uncontrolled driving that resulted in crashes, and putting other drivers and spectators at risk

[@joaobranco2164]

They weren't banned for being too fast. They (and others) could still run the circuit but could not pass certain speed limits in certain areas. Not exactly a ban...

[@prostreetbeetdhd4586]

Hell, because I was about to say ... the 919 Evo Porsche was WAYYY faster. Cant be about speed

[@businessbunni8423]

@@Crooked_Clown no or extremely limited spectators when any company is setting a lap record, you have just a handful of people including marshals and cameramen and thats it.

[@larryc1616]

You can run it as fast as you want if you rent out the nurburgring for private runs like all manufacturers do. When you run the nurburgring publicly with everyone else, your hypercar's reckless speed puts all other slower cars in danger. Don't be cheap and stupid just rent out the track.

[@markusjuenemann]

To set things clear: Those speed limits are only for "Touristenfahrten", when the track is open for the public. Koenigsegg could have simply rented the whole track with the intent of a record. How do you think Porsche did its record lap with the 919 Evo? 5:19 min with speed limits? I don't think so..

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

Seem strange to want to set a laprecord during touristenfahrten??? Chance of an unimpeded lap seem small then anyway...

[@markusjuenemann]

@@rientsdijkstra4266 Again: How did Porsche (and many others btw!) do it? By renting the whole track BECAUSE of the restrictions and limitations of Touristenfahrten! You can even read about the restrictions on the Nürburgring´s website! Imagine: There's even a 60 kph limit sign at the Ex-Mühle-part of the track. And it's even visible in several racing sims. Guess what: It is there for TF, not for actual record attempts when the Track is rented for private use. My English might not be the best, ok, but is it really that hard to understand?

[@chalkandcheese1868]

Koenigsegg is full of shit, they have to set speed records at altitude, and they still don't hold any legitimate track records.

[@LordPrometheous]

"...could have simply"? Koenigsegg doesn't have deep as deep pockets as the VW group. Renting out the ring for a day or two might not have been an attractive cost proposition. That's around 60K euros per day, not including any extras like track marshals, paramedics, etc. It's easy to forget how much money that really is when we're used to casually looking at multi-million dollars hyper cars rocketing around these tracks.

[@rs6driver416]

There are a couple of clips in your video showing an event called Vmax200, held at the Bruntingthorpe Airfield in the UK. I had the privilege of lining up next to a 1:1 (when it first appeared on the scene) for a blast down the runway. At the time i owned a c6 Rs6 that produced just shy of 800hp and 800ft/lb of torque (which i thought was pretty dam quick). Up to 45/50 mph we were neck and neck.... then it was like i put my handbrake on 😂😂. Up to that point I'd never seen speed like it. Borderline otherworldly, but a memory ill always have.

[@CarClique2000]

This is a very good example for the audience about how fast the Koenigseggs really are!🚀 That must have been a once in a lifetime memory indeed! btw really nice that you drove the v10 version of the rs6.💯

[@scar9]

It's always till they hit the 3rd gear 💀

[@jasonwinters8299]

​@scar9 it will be like a boost by gear idea. Too much power early on and it will just spin. Or the driver didn't want to wreck a 3m car which is understandable also

[@MrGrazzhoppa]

Koenigsegg were never banned from Nurburgring at all😂😂

[@michaelstanfield3853]

I think comparing the AMG One, Ferrari FXX or Pagani Zonda R to the Koenigsegg Jesko is not a fair comparison. Except for Pagani (who benefits from a Mercedes engine), both Ferrari and Mercedes Benz have Formula 1 teams that they can draw from for technology to use in their other cars. Also, Koenigsegg was able to break the world speed record without having been an very established company with a prestigious reputation.

[@captain_context9991]

Pagani has a Pagani engine, dude... ITs just that Mercedes special vehicle / special engine department makes it for them. At great cost. Its not like they just put in a Mercedes engine into Aston Martins and Paganis.

AMG is part of mercedes fren@@captain_context9991

[@Voodoo_One]

@@captain_context9991 No, it is an AMG / Mercedes Engine. It is based on the regular V12, just specifically build for Pagani. That's why the Engine also has the AMG Badging, since they are also proud about it. The M297 (atleast in the Zonda) is based on the M120 V12 from the W140 S-Class of the 90s, that was also used in a modificated version in the CLK GTR.

[@captain_context9991]

@@Voodoo_One Sure. But its not like they just use a Mercedes engine. AMG is the special performance engine manufacturer owned by Mercedes. Nobody at Aston Martin or Pagani are going to tell you its not from AMG. Like these American jokers that always deny where things come from.

[@rooh5825]

When you take into account the 7:01 that the Viper ran there, that's an astounding time, considering it was a car club who flew a couple Vipers to the ring, and in a matter of a couple of days, ran times that Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes couldn't do, despite those three basically living on that track, with no factory support whatsoever.

[@Knofriswr0]

The Viper ACR is a completely focused on track with no comfort. BMW has never build such a car, so you already have to exclude them. Also, I don’t know where Mercedes and Porsche are struggling to set such times when they both have multiple faster times. In addition, even Journalists (e.g. Christian Gebhardt) are faster in some cars of Mercedes and Porsche or close as fast than the Viper you mentioned. So no, they don’t struggle to be faster, they don’t even need pro drivers to do so.

Koenigsegg has never sent a team to the Ring to do any kind of record attempt. And if they did, they would sure as hell do better than old Viper did.

Maybe because you're just waiting for another accident to happen, it costs money (the car and the circuit repairs), time, and puts the life of the driver in danger.

[@dr80008]

1:35 Basseng also crashed this car (either right after Pflanzgarten or in Bellof Esses), trying to improve the lap time. It had started raining towards the end of the lap and instead of aborting it, he wanted to finish the lap. He lost control and the car bounced from one guardrail to the other and had damage all over. It was also a pretty special car, being the first ever Koenigsegg with tinted naked carbon body. It had standard wing and CCX Edition wheels. According to EVO magazine, it had 4.7 L engine with 900 PS, but they could have gotten this wrong and it was really a 4.8 L, not sure. The owner must have been cursing ever agreeing to lend his car for this test. They've had nothing but bad luck on the track since then.

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

Unreliable AMG engine that won many races in different configurations in different cars throughout AMG history

[@LoCo-1]

In all seriousness, I see Koenigsegg not only smashing that record. But blowing way past it. The Koenigsegg company creator/owner named Christian quote “We don’t make cars to beat fastest car records” Yet his cars smash ANY & EVERY record there is. And if by any chance another car company makes any claim to a fast car record, for people that know by now. It’s because Koenigsegg or Rimac haven’t competed. Pls note: Rimac is a car company fast car records enthusiast know of by now.

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

Porsche only has to make a road legal variant of their Porsche 919 Evo Hybrid and Koenigssegg and Rimac would have no chance unless they try to build a car that corners as well. Power without control (cornering) is destined to loose on race tracks. Downforce, grip, braking and cornering speed are way more important than pure power

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

As much as i respect Rimac cars, tuned ICE cars still annihilate the Nevera. An AMS GTR Alpha Omega does 0-60 in 1.49 seconds (Nevera in 1.85) and quarter mile in 7.49 seconds (Nevera in 8.52). And the AMS costs 8 times less than the Nevera.

I love how you included clips from forza horizon 4 and forza motorsport 7 in your video, nice touch 👌 on the subject of the nurburgring, I don't believe it matters all that much, i mean yes it's a great marketing exercise but what does it prove exactly? Car manufacturers choose factory race drivers, choose the day with the perfect weather and even take into consideration wind speed and direction for optimal downforce and even tweak the suspension and aero sometimes.. they create the perfect conditions for the perfect lap time which is something impossible to do with the same car on a touristenfahrten session. Btw great video keep up the good work.

[@sebastianjo752]

But when everybody waits for the perfect weather and tweaks the car for the ring, they all drive within the same conditions.This makes it comparable to other cars and shows wich is the quickest. Also for touristenfahrten i think there are speed limits you have to follow

Speed limits do not matter if you hire the track to set a record. You can't do a record attempt when it's open to the public.

[@CarClique2000]

That is indeed impossible cause you have a lot of unexperienced drivers on the tourist drives + there would be to much traffic on the circuit!

[@jjcorv]

Well a lot of mishaps throughout the years is either the drivers the egg has need to be a little better or the car is way too expensive and not to par.

The latest Gordan Murray car would be interesting to see on the track. Of course his goal was to make the car that is the most engaging and most fun to drive, which doesn't necessarily make it fastest on the track. It'd still be interesting to see how the most fun car compares to the most track focused car. And it's half the weight. Should do pretty well regardless.

And also as for the chance of T50 accidentally being the fastest car on a track. Thats not what they made it for. And there are other cars that have 2-3 times the power. But it will be great, ofcourse. But I would think it has to compete with Porsche GT3 and GT2 RS. Which is obviously extremely good.

@@captain_context9991 His new cars even with the safety features are even lighter. I don't know how, it's a miracle that other cars can learn from. But I agree, a modern track focused car with twice the power even with a lot more weight, but more downforce, should beat it. I'd still rather own a Gordan Murray. I've driven a 2000lb car, and the light and tossable quality you get cannot be replicated in a heavier car. I'm just curious as to how well it would do. We'll probably never find out. And what if you did add a supercharger? So many questions. I'll never own any of them and I'm not turning down a Porsche or Koenigsegg if one appears in my driveway, I just have a soft spot for light cars. Because you can't even find a 2000lb car anymore. Maybe an Atom, and that's fun, but that's barely a car.

I also did my university degree in marketing with the intention of working for the car industry. So i have been to most supercar factories in the world during that time. Even tho I am... Hardly in the market anymore, and things have escalated wildly since... If you are looking for a 3-4 million bucks hypercar with unlimited power, you are well catered for today. Point was...

Speed limit on that track is stupid considering the fact that youd have to implement that based on the worst aerodynamic car with awful weight distribution and bad center of gravity just to be effective. Then at that point, it limits the purpose of the track, which is to act as a NASCAR (true roots of NASCAR and not the donut of a race we see now). It helps create cars with interesting designs that is not only quick on a lot of road conditions but efficient at it

[@Law19157]

The speed limits at the Nordschliefe make setting records for production cars pointless now at that track. That Nissan's under tray was flat with no way for air to flow upwards through a fenders something WEC cars have implemented in their prototype race cars to prevent lift.

Text from long ago? What maximum speed?

[@vincentrobinette1507]

Nurburgring will likely be dominated by an all wheel drive electric. Likely, by a Tesla or a Lucid. Shifting a transmission creates torque pulses, which can cause loss of traction, and, transition losses, which negates some of the horsepower produced by the engine. A shiftless electric power train applies its power much more smoothly, allowing a higher AVERAGE horsepower to be applied, resulting in faster times. A combustion car could do it, with a very advanced all wheel drive system and a continuously variable transmission. (good luck putting ~1,600 horsepower into a push belt!)

Frist…even being a petrolhead myself - also owning a sportscar (not a hypercar), I am convinced of the fact that this hoursepower madness between manufactorers is now way too much. You can’t even use it. It is too much for normal roads. It is not fun to have a 1000 HP car, and not even being able to do 2nd or even just 1st gear flat out, before you loose your licens. Doing 350 at the Autobahn is not fun - that is crazy. The hypercars are the reason why German politicians are considering limiting the whole Autobahn to 130. Why not stick to the 250 km/h limit? Do one need 350 km/h risking to provoke the 130-limitation…??!! You can find plenty of speed and fun in the range of 0-250 also in the bends. The hoursepower competition is going out of hand - seems like to be a competition between men with small d…s. They are missing the point - it is all about the doing, not the size.

I wish there was also a mention of if VW actually banned them or not from the test track they own because of them not wanting to prove they had a better top speed than Bugatti. I had heard many rumors about it but nothing concrete.

[@Knofriswr0]

It’s not the business of VW to get other manufacturers to set a speed record. If Koenigsegg wants to do it, they have to figure it out themselves.

[@carlospacheco8640]

Production car world records, when the "production cars" cost > 3MEUR and production numers are onhundred or less?! Why would anyone consider that even remotely interesting?

[@Barledon]

my only experience of the Nordschleife come from Gran Turismo 4. So, I will just express some simple facts. 1) Nordschleife is the real life daily road, we talk about roads around us except highways. 2) achieve a 7;20 lap running road legal tyres on this track is an athletic exercise 3) and last, when you accept that road legal tyres are the limit on this track, you've got to admit that 11oo hp /1200 kgs are the limits for this track. More power or less weight determines a car on road legal tyres who cannot approach its limits of this track. Koenigsegg or equals banned on the Ring ? ok, right. Please, make the difference @Laguna Seca or @Infineon Raceway or others tracks ready to accept Fast cars on fast n technical tracks. Driving fast and dangerously is too easy on The Nurb for cars close to 1100hp/1200kgs.

[@darrelldundee5045]

You should also not leave out the bugatti Boglide or the Hennessy venom.

[@hugo-pg5tv]

The bolide ain't a road car and the concept version is just BS claims

[@gp2jm]

Powerful and light don't necessarily mean fast on a track. Koenigsegg has 0 track experience. BTW One:1 is slower than the Pagani Huayra BC in sector 1 of Spa where it should excel because of the long straights, so I doubt Koenigsegg will be even close to AMG One/AMG GT BS/991 GT2RS's times.

[@ripwreckraceway]

KNOW ! the fact being the track can't handle a persecution machine like the fou wheel vision of speed and buetiy :D and that how that is :D

[@raymondsarvarian9074]

You can have a car with 2000 hp and can perform a unbelievable top speed time and a very fast acceleration time it still dose not make that car to be a fast sport car a race track like Norberg ring to make fast lap time. Just to have high horsepower will not make car to make fast laps,

[@CarClique2000]

I know what you mean but the Jesko is designed for cornering, downforce and so on...

[@meltdown6165]

Excellent footage, I love to see these cars in motion.

[@captain_context9991]

The story isnt true, however. Koenigsegg never sent a factory team to the Ring to make any world records

[@rickjohnson5222]

Konenigsegg for sure, I live near Pahrump NV where they set several records on legal hwys. So I'm all in to seee them succeed!

[@Zaqariyah]

I love to drive Jesko on N in Assetto Corsa. It feels much more drivable than all other "luxury supercar" trash

[@riaanpotgieter475]

Mmmm..... Not about the horsepower or the speed..... but can you put that power down on the tarmac, traction, handling, cornering, mechanical grip, downforce, durability!!! It as about that perfect balance!!! Porsche GT3 RS has that perfect balance!!!

[@CarClique2000]

Koenigsegg really focused on every detail with the Jesko, to make it great on downforce, grip, cornering and so on. And for the time attack they would balance it out even more. So it is definitely worth trying to attack the time of the Amg one. Manthey Racing GT3 RS is even better for the ring :)

[@hugo-pg5tv]

The jesko is lighter, uses a better suspension and got way more downforce

[@emmanuelyawofosudapaahkuma566]

You can see the one:1 and jesko being tested, the raw power along with the outstanding grip is well orchestrated in my opinion.

You are about 2-3 months late with that comment… Rimac has the production EV lap record at Nurburgring atm.. but that EV time is pretty slow (07:05) and the fastest petrol/hybrid production car is AMG ONE with 06:35!

Look we are grown ups, we know we might die doing it. Let us do it. Wipe us of the track hopefully learn from the mistakes made and keep on. If we stop doing everything that could kill us in the world then what are we even doing? Pretty much just leaves us staring at our own toes.

[@dappa211]

Well it proves that Speed doesn't win all races. The car is fast but it becomes uncontrollable in certain parts of the course. multiple crashes has already proven that

[@tracktool]

Rent the track and you don't have limits, the GT3 RS is faster than all the limits mentioned here.

[@spikey2740]

Too fast to be allowed a shot at the record because of imposed speed limits? There's a simple solution that puts everyone on the same page. Make the present record holders rerun the Ring with the same speed limits imposed on them, and if they fail or refuse, take away their record.

[@kanwarjotgill5294]

Since when did the one :1 had a dual clutch?

Normally it has a DCT - 7 Speed

Basically most cars will easily do over 200kph so forget ANY hyper cars trying, NOT just koenigsegg

Koenigsegg IS the best... They don't need to price anything. If you know, you know.

[@3AKOBAH]

Sadly there is a little chance a company with no racing experience to beat the Green hell lap record. Those times are gone. Koenigsegg will probably be slower than the fastest 911. People in Koenigsegg know this and will never get on the ring.

I know, it is the Ai voice over we used for this video... & I don't know a single clutch Koenigsegg tbh. Maybe you mean the one-speed fixed gear system of the regera? Cause the Jesko has a seven clutch gearbox and the one to one has a dct 7 speed😊

[@rsr-warrior]

I've given up on their 'record attempts' of late, followed them from around 2012 and stopped a little while ago when I saw how long they take to make progress with these claims or even just making videos of what the car can actually do. The one or two videos you do get is where they do long neighbourhood drives. Boutique manufacturers are not really exciting in this aspect, probably because of money, quite sad.

[@jjcorv]

Hit it on the nail sir. ;)

[@heatmoon]

Koenesegg just doesn't compare to tye real things like Ferrari or Maclauren or Bugatti. The are way over turboed small blocks that no doubt blow rings within a couple hours. That blue smoke isnt tires burning, its oil being pushéd into the combustion chamber. The kost over hyped over priced so called super car made. And im a fellow swede, they advertise speeds like 315mph without even getting close to 300. Ill take any ferrari or Mac Lauren over these swedish lies

[@mrd.808]

Koenigsegg is just a drag and drive that looks very fast and unique, yet can not create a car to compete in 24 hrs of any Le Mans. Yet, Jim's SCGs have LM cars from race track to street cars... Ferrari, SCG, Porsche, Mercedes AMG, etc (car manufacturers that create LM cars to Roads cars are very worthy for any wealthy car enthusiasts. The only exception to IMHO, Pagani, is also a very worthy purchase. Koenigsegg, unfortunately, is overhyped technology with YES, unbelievable performance figures on paper, and controlled track environments. Koenigsegg needs to have data analysis in non controlled race track conditions. This is very important for the safety of very wealthy car enthusiasts. Porsche Carrera GT, very beautiful car and performance, unfortunately, requires very advanced racing driver skills, ref. Porsche Carrera GT crash and death of Paul and Rodas (rodas the driver and an experienced race car driver). Unfortunately, maintenance of the car was subpar where the tires were 9 years old. Well, beyond tire change recommendations, being 5 to 7 years. A lot earlier, if racing every day for longer periods of time. If you value your life, can't just be a race car driver and ignore the maintenance (part of the supercar / hypercar ownership costs), know the very important things, brake, tires, motor oil service maintenance interval records. To each their own.

[@matzepizzaheld7937]

The jesko won’t do shit, like all their other cars, it just can’t have good handling, not if you want to go 300mph, oh and you forget the Agera R. crash when they attempted a laptime with that. Also how come koenigsegg doesn’t allow any tracktesting in competition with other cars where an individual team doest it and not themselves? Well at least since 2010 it’s been like that
