[@davidmcmahon8731]

Notice the ample use of "we" and "our"....signs of a great leader...must be awesome to work there

[@mitalarsson6955]

One of my friends is working at the prototype division at Koenigsegg and yes its a great place to work...

[@rfouR_4]

+Mita Larsson Jelous. Would literally drop my entire life in the States to work for him.

[@rfouR_4]

jealous*

[@FeelsDonkMan]

It's not that hard to get a job there, just have the right qualifications. They are a growing company so they are always hiring.

[@DIZAZZO]

This is one point of view. I would literally drop my entire life in Brazil to work in the States....

[@antonphillipson2388]

How many other hypercar CEOs do these tours/explanations on their cars? Christian is a legend, I'd love to work for him one day

[@jody024]

the difference is that he's not just a CEO, his knowledge goes far beyond that

[@DkingE39]

yes I agree. I just mad he doesn't get the credit he deserves... they keep placing the buggatii over his cars..

[@daltonrademacher3879]

have you seen some of his other concepts? This man is one of my idols hands down. He has been a motivator in me deciding to do engineering. I idolize him because, as other replys say, he's so much more than just a CEO of a company. I admire him because hes so much more than just the brains behind the company or the money. I dont know how he got the start up he did but I applaud it. Itd be a dream to work for a company like this. Its small but it its industry redifining. I like Elon too but he doesnt seem to me like he has the desire to explain things. Christian on the other hand just explains them on such an intricate level its incredible.

[@jrsuppo]

Dalton Rademacher he started out work as a businessman. That's all I know

[@quinnmoore5985]

Anton Phillipson Him and Elon Musk are probably the coolest CEOs in the auto industry lol

[@tobi97dk]

he seems like such a nice guy

[@pazzoluna2574]

He's trying to make the best car possible.

[@HD2512DK]

He is...met him at Copenhagen GP and he just wanted to talk technical solutions ...

[@tobi97dk]

HD2512DK nice, jeg er jaloux ;-)

[@jrnascimento1448]

The price that Christian had to pay to make the best car of all time, was losing all his hair. I'm fan of this man.

[@lukalukic1]

jr nascimento no hair becouse aerodynamic 😃😂 and wait reduction

[@jody024]

From what i know he wasn't born with alopecia areata, it's an autoimmune disease, babies don't have an fully developed Immune system.... in Christian's case it's thought to have been caused by extreme levels of stress

[@gn01036238]

Aerodynamic , bro.

[@headcheese3]

[@AlastorTheNPDemon]

*hairodynamics

[@ozzstars_cars]

The only problem with this video was that it's to short! Awesome....Mr. Koenigsegg is a true genius in automotive history

[@mariobirkholz7432]

DRIVE and Koenigsegg is a very good cooperation

[@user-bb6xb3cz1k]

CvK is just fucking nuts. The challenge to build such a car with such a small company is just unbelievable. the complexity of the whole decentralized system must be off the wall in terms of which chips to use, how to use them and how to blend everything together that it all works + the 3g implementation to every chip . just hats off to this visionary

[@TexasRevving]

So glad to see this series back! It was the original series that started my obsession for Koenigsegg. Keep it coming!

[@DaOneJoel]

PROPAAAH Real gentlemen are few and far between these days. I love how proud he is of his product and people.

[@GunsNBudder]

Christian Von Koenigsegg is a one-man revival of an extinct breed of man. He's a reborn amalgamation of people like Colin Chapman, Ferdinand Porsche, Henry Ford, Ferruccio Lamborghini, and Enzo Ferrari. I would include Horacio Pagani, but he's more of a master jeweler who likes beauty and has a thing for cars, than a raging-hard-on-car-visionary-innovator, like the other men I listed.

[@theq4602]

Don't forget Charles Kettering. He didn't build his own car company but he revolutionized the automobile. Things he invented: electric starter, leaded gasoline, lightweight two stroke diesels (for trucks), the first refrigerant coolant the first practical paint for automobiles, the first aerial missile, air cooled engines on and on and on. Not even Koenigsegg can say he is as innovative as Kettering was.

[@pflaffik]

Its an insult to Enzo to compare him to CvK. Enzo wasnt afraid of critics, he didnt hide behind NDAs, he was out in the open and no matter what happened he stayed true to his vision. Till this day you can buy a ferrari and drive the shit out of it and post the videos, just like back in Enzos days. You cant buy a car from CvK without agreeing to legal clauses that are actually illegal in all of western europe. Look up the american buyer who never got his car, the process is so dirty and full of clauses and customer abuse, no other manufacturer has ever done that and especially not Enzo.

[@Stardust-wt3fe]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@RizLazey]

Dont forget the Italian Argentina legend the Horacio Pagani

[@shuvamoymukherjee8473]

Imagine if they worked together.

[@abomala1607]

I want more ! I love when Christian Von Koenigsegg present his car. Amazing

[@zollotech]

Would love to work with Koenigsegg. you've gotta appreciate their innovation. I wish they had an American office.

[@redhorse7458]

When you buy a Koenigsegg you are paying for this mans absolute commitment to providing the best car that he can build down to the smallest of detail. After all this time you can tell that he is still passionate about what he's doing.

[@evanhasson6032]

Christian Von Koenigsegg is a legend among humanity

[@Pastronomer69]

Von Koenigsegg is a such a hero in the car world, understated genius.

[@wunderbambu]

I just love this man. His passion for his work is out of this world.

[@z28camaro79]

Guys like Christian and Horacio Pagani are a huge inspiration to me. Two people who started their own car companies from scratch. Love that they answer to no one.

[@jody024]

the missing link though: Pagani still outsources the engines

[@z28camaro79]

jody024 I like Koenigsegg and Pagani for very different reasons. Yes Pagani, and most car companies of this caliber, out source certain parts for their products. Horacio IMO is equally an art curator as he is a designer and engineer. Have you seen the engine bay on any Zonda/Huayra??!! It's like looking into a jewel box. Same cannot be said for Koenigseggs or any of the AMGs IMO. What Christian and Horacio are both trying to achieve for their companies and products are apples to oranges.

[@jody024]

Lord Amadeus Seriously ? Egg Engine bays are not about being artsy, THAT'S the art of them. The artsy stuff is typical for Horatio though, he's Italian.

[@z28camaro79]

jody024 By no means am I saying anything negative about anything Koenigsegg but I just appreciate the extra mile Pagani goes aesthetically with all of its details. The engine bay could look the same as the SL73 AMG BUT it doesn't. They even put the company logo on every bolt in the Huayra. Little things like that arouse me. We'll have to just agree to disagree. The two are apples to oranges.You're talking to a guy whose favorite work of art is the Huayra.

[@jody024]

Lord Amadeus still won't change the fact that he still doesn't do his own engines.

[@skullknight2008]

I wish I had a FRACTION of the intelligence of that man. I would love to know his IQ.

[@MrBirgerB]

You have a fraction of his intelligence, your wish has been heard.

[@skullknight2008]

Lol thanks. I wish it were that simple mate.

[@timwatterson8060]

It is, his intelligence =A, yours =D, your intelligence expressed as a fraction of his is "D/A".

[@skullknight2008]

I think you may be attempting to be clever, but your are failing. It's either because your rhetoric is horrible, humor is horrible, and/or both. I'm going to go with the latter.

[@Mudux]

Damn, you must be really dumb to not get the joke... Maybe your only hope is to wish to be smarter indeed...

[@schlooonginator1227]

This man is a legend in the making. An absolute innovator.

[@thanosdk5669]

Koenigsegg is my dream job...These cars are just outstanding//

[@6rimR3ap3r]

The exhaust part was totally unknown to me yet. Very interesting how many special solutions Koenigsegg implements in their cars.

[@kvn2266]

Please give us more....love this man and the way he thinks. Thank you for this great video

[@Zeiss120]

OH SHIT this channel is still somewhat alive!

[@Bergaufschieba]

Shortest 10 minutes of my life. Amazing!

[@Mariusz803]

This little series is back!!! Awesome!

[@v_alexiadis]

Very happy you did this /DRIVE!

[@alexaraldi6458]

I was waiting for this videos for so long, i could listen to Koenigsegg talking about his cars all day. (also nice shirt with the logo done white on white and the band collar)

[@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342]

I could listen to this guy talk for hours. He's technical enough to be interesting but not enough to be boring, and his passion for his work shows through brightly.

[@ant_ramos]

You guys did it again. Can't wait for the next episodes!

[@soundskindafishy]

This is great! I can't wait for the next episode. The way Christian explains al these amazing and innovative ideas is just so cool to listen to.

[@PoorManMods]

Koenigsegg and Musk need to team up and take over the world

[@hertzwave8001]

Chris and Horacio

[@SZ-ZS-]

quite so, they would demolish that little rimac, musk can probly make a car faster then the rimac if he wanted too right now, hes just more focused on making a colony on mars haha

[@RyTrapp0]

Research how Musk became the head of Tesla - here's a clue; he sure as hell isn't the founder. Bringing Musk into your company is a great way to invite a hostile takeover and have everything that you've built stolen right from under you, as you're fired and left with nothing.

[@SZ-ZS-]

RyTrapp0 why does it matter if hes the founder or not, he made a fortune off paypal, and he risked it ALL on tesla (almost losing it all) and then risked it all again on a space exploration company, which now has contracts with NASA to deliver cargo to the ISS

[@RyTrapp0]

"Why does it matter if he's the founder or not..." Huh??? Did you read the entire comment or just pick out a few phrases? Elon Musk came into Tesla as an investor and, within a year with the company, organized a takeover that FIRED the original founder and would leave Musk in charge. When someone posts a comment saying that CvK & Musk should work together on supercars(inferring that Musk would become involved with Koenigsegg), it matters that Elon has a history of organizing company takeovers And, as far as "risking it all" is concerned, the only thing that Musk is risking is the money that the various investors have put into these companies - all of Elon Musk's money is nice & safe in his own bank account, not connected to any of these companies.

[@Cloxxki]

Year and a half old footage? They've halved the battery size since. Probably because it could still do what they needed it to do, at a lower weight.

[@drive]

Stay tuned...

[@DavidElstob73]

Cloxxki much denser battery!

[@Cloxxki]

David Elstob Elaborate? Energy or power per kg or liter? It's half the capacity, and lighter.

[@momatedise]

yes the new battery is smaller, but can be drained and re-charged faster

[@HokeySchtick]

Ok, how fresh will your latest footage be?

[@guillaumechartrand4115]

I'm sooo in love with this series, woooaw!

[@C0lbyte]

over 1500HP and 2000nm torque. BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE FUCK WAS GIVEN THAT DAY!

[@ramirezlegend]

Keep these videos coming! They're absolutely a great resource for Koenigsegg! It's definitely inspiring to watch and learn about the company!

[@casudhoff]

Amazing as always CVK! More please!

[@landon8807]

I could literally watch these all day. So much knowledge

[@aescobar32]

insane video... Came here to learn more about the transmission... Need to upload it soon!

[@mrbartlomiej]

So much anticipated. Thanks /DRIIVE!

I've been waiting for new episodes for sooooooo long

[@JordanPayneLV]

The best content out from drive in a lonnnnggg time, I've always loved these pieces.

[@Haze30791]

what the fuck is bugatti?

[@alessandroarizaluski9178]

in moshleim

[@ReinhardSchuster]

VW´s Hypercar solution, less efficient much to heavy and slower for just tice the price.

[@theq4602]

Also much more complicated. At least twice the number of parts.

[@RickyBobby666]

Favorite series on /Drive

[@runechristiansen7372]

These Koenigsegg videos are just awesome, I could listen to Christian for hours, his passion and willingness to show what he is building is beyond anything else. 👍

[@user-mv7jf5xy6y]

Sheer beauty is hard to put into words.

[@richardrejmer8721]

The best PR man for any car brand in the world is Christian Von Koenigsegg. He knows and understands every little detail of the car. The engineering and design aspects, the comfort, the driveability, the performance specs, the weight and material of each component. etc. etc. etc. He speaks clearly and eloquently with passion about the car and even if it wasn't the fantastically good car that it actually is, he has you thinking "Wow! This is a GREAT car! I wish I had one!!"

[@tryxinos]

cant wait to see more footage... A LOT MORE!!!

[@Andreas1795]

Cant wait to see how fast this car is compaired to the agera/one !

[@megarafjogos]

faster than the agera r, slower than the one:1. It will break down like the others eggs when you push it. That's why the bugatti is still considered the fastest road going car.

[@Andreas1795]

Yeah probably but the acceleration is crazy in the regera

[@johnkilo3]

What are your sources?

[@mitalarsson6955]

+Mega Citation needed...

[@megarafjogos]

teamracing07 yeah, sure. Just put a regera vs a bugatti and lets see what happens

[@Viktorreznov1942]

I could listen to Christian go on a deep dive of all of koenigseggs cars for hours. It's so cool and inspiring hearing him know and explain every single part of the car.

[@einsteindrieu]

Nice to hear and watch you talk about your car Chris.That's a lot of power.

[@Dirkietje8]

I love Christian, he has such a nice way of talking about the car. Enthusiastic but also very knowledgeable about every little detail. Obviously because he is extremely involved in every aspect of the design and production of the car, but he also makes it clear they think about every detail to create the best car they can. I'm really interested in the Koenigsegg Direct Drive system now. Can't wait for the video explaining that.

[@saxon215]

you have to give credit to Chris for taking the time to do these videos. I now have a lot more respect for his company

[@aidanred6270]

I'm so hyped for this

[@tinyikobaloyi9500]

since i introduced myself to the ccx,wow this man is doin a great job, i love his work, his confidence.i totally forgoten about the ferrari.keep it up Chris.

[@Films4Fun96]

Man I love this series! Excited that it's back for the Regera!

[@Acroanidd]

I really could listen to Christian all day every day. He's easily one of the most intriguing minds in automotive tech.

[@noiisserpmii]

Ive been a fan of Segg since for over a decade now! I loved the CCX & love how the brand has evolved. Ive been fortunate to see a few Eggs here in NY including an Agera R, HH, CCXRS, One:1 & the Regera.

[@s7robe297]

Christan is a truly an amazing person for having such an intense passion for what he does. Very inspirational.

[@bentleytran1442]

i saved up $900 now i need 50 more years so i can buy your car Mr. Christ

[@Fearmeforever13]

A rather aggressive stock portfolio, with moderate hedging and a decent reinvestment plan, could net you this car in sooner than 50 years. And at most you lose $900, your original investment.

[@theq4602]

No go with a mutual fund it pays off better in the long run and has lower risk. You can lose all you money in 1 day with stock mutual funds are immune to this.

[@RizLazey]

You will have A used Regera for $10k lol I mean 50 years? Cars must have gone some futuristic shit like flying cars

[@chengteh]

Thank you for building such beautiful, technological machines! This guys and his team are pushing engineering to new levels! I enjoy listening to him talk about such art work!

[@Patrick94GSR]

5:37 he just casually says "over 1,500 hp" like its a completely normal thing! Damn!! What does one do with 1,500 hp in a car that's NOT track focused?

[@damstachizz]

250-400km/h. Designed purely to make bugatti owners cry.

[@theq4602]

Where 1500 hp really belongs is inside a mobile generator or a small stationary powerplant for a developing country. Of course then your main concern is fuel sipping. In that field every 1500hp diesel generator (of which many exist) outclasses the motor because they are all by definition 7-15% more efficient. Albeit they are about 10x the size.

[@StarionDon]

What you're doing with 1500 HP is dragging a diff that is like, HUGE. The amount of gear and therefore load on the engine is nuts. So much so that there's 3 more electric motors to lug that bitch to speed.

[@RizLazey]

Isnt this the one that drives Directly and simply without a gearbox?

[@RizLazey]

Who would win a French boi with W16 Quad Turbo Or. A Swedish boi with V8 Twin Turbo along with 3 electric motors

[@dtofq]

Unreal. Love this guy and all his work.

[@pietskiet8763]

We will have the flames come out of the rake of the venturies ! hahaa brilliant

[@computiNATEor]

I was so happy he just said "flames", and not as an accident! So awesome.

[@d1rcwill]

Anyone involved in car design who has ideas on where the flames come out is someone to support

[@darrenreddy6650]

ordered mine yesterday, cant wait

[@MarkAgain780]

GREAT!! thank you for showing us

[@Kenneth1350]

This man is way ahead in technology for cars its incredible, my hats off to you sir.

[@sigmaoctantis_nz]

Aww yiss bio hazard wheels. My 15 year old self would have been in love.

[@SmallBlogV8]

Inside Koenigsegg is pretty much the only reason I have left to follow /Drive. I'm glad it's back :-)

[@twinkmaster2]

LOVE theese episodes

[@TheKilian]

Best Car Series on youtube :)

[@mrcompatable]

Christian is a genius. So glad there are visionaries like him doing things like this today.

[@kdoran709]

absolutely brilliant

[@TROllingNINJA2031]

people only disliking this cus it's old footage and is dated from the Regera we have today awesome engineering

[@MJorgy5]

I love how fresh this brand stays. Always exciting and cutting-edge. Most excellent!

[@koenigsegg1237456789]

look at how excited he becomes while discussing the exhaust and flames... deep down he is a kid as well with all those supercar dreams :D

[@gaspererjavec7108]

yes, please! need to know more. Im getting addicted to inside Koenigsegg

[@StafferryWildlifeGallery]

This presentation really do impress me, Christian is more than a typical type of CEO sit on the office chair, he does know what is going on and how it works.

[@Truesoldier000]

I could listen to this guy talk about his cars all day. One of the most important, leading people in the car industry and yet incredibly humble.

[@grecoconduris6716]

I know this is old, but I still love this stuff.

[@melvonmitchell]

Absolutely Inspirational

[@godiskungen27]

Love u Christian Sweden The World so proud of you Awsome just awsome

[@hishaam7267]

Mr. Koenigsegg, If you read this, you sir are an inspiration to an Engineer. You are changing and challenging the industry to innovate and put aside industrialization at times to push science and technology forward. It is an honor to watch you grow and progress. H

[@faisalkhan1026]

Massive Respect for this guy !

[@valcone42487]

I could probably sit and stare at the engineering drawings for weeks!

[@kyosho7054]

What an amazing mind he must have and also a great team behind him to produce such awesome technologically advanced cars!

[@tommmi97]

that guy is honestly a true genius, i love that piece of art. i'll work my whole life until i own one, its so awesome

[@mwverheijen]

I think Christian is an amazing guy and deserves all the success his hard labour has brought him

[@gothic6662]

That robotized body concept reminds me a lot on rocket ship propulsion vibration dampening and weight reducing materials tech.... this truly is a spaceship

[@GoiaGroup]

Soundtrack? at the begin? AWESOME!

[@jacobski5726]

The man is as aerodynamic as the cars, thumbs up!

[@EmbraceMaking]

Christian is absolute inspiration as an innovator and entrepreneur. Him and Elon should do a joint venture vehicle. Would be interesting to see what they come up with.

[@janzeeschuimers]

Koeniggsegg works with Rimac , they did the battery pack and more for the Regera.I think Mate Rimac is the best in the business (sorry Elon) , with the Rimac concept_one and the Rimac conceptS.

[@EmbraceMaking]

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. Make it a trio with Elon ;)

[@sreeves638]

+Embrace Racing Chiron will simply destroy

[@EmbraceMaking]

CAPTAIN AMERICA My comment isn't about creating the fastest vehicle, it was more a statement about creating new and exciting technologies. In my opinion, Christian and Elon are great innovators with a vision for future tech.

[@Skeptisis]

Should definitely look up the Rimac, pretty neat. Agreed on the trio joint venture, craziness.

[@mtlracing1567]

very cool and clever guy. this is why I love koenigsegg more than any other Hypercar company

[@OtoCardona]

those carbon breaks are insane, those wheels are unique too, everything they do is the epitome of engineering, my respects to this man for everything he has accomplished by himself, can't wait to see the new episodes.

[@Grenyas]

Koenigsegg is a mad genius.

[@bobbyosborne2375]

This man is my HERO

[@l.k.l1971]

do you see videos of the Porsche car co or Ferrari explain their cars Stephen Koenigsegg is not afraid to share the technology that is put into his cars he gets alot of respect from me.I long have been a Lamborghini and viper fan but that has changed love these koenigsegg cars!!

[@khingdavid4687]

My dream is to meet this guy and visit his factory. ...Also own a Koenigsegg

[@pspbasti1]

I swear by good i could listem to this guy taking about his Cars for days :D

[@boutrous92]

Koenigsegg is the greatest company in the world, the brains behind the logo is right here. We won't be seeing many unique people like him anytime soon.

[@Zakaria2424]

I really really love the details given by Christian about his cars, inside and out, but also what we fans really want to see some ROAD ACTION, speed drag or track, maybe after finishing the tests done on the Regera, do a race between One:1 vs Regera from like 50/60 to 300+ km/h , that would be something historic and orgasmic.

[@Zakaria2424]

Christian's head brighter than my future :(
