This is the greatest example of an homage to an older car I have ever seen. I literally thought it was a CC8 until I began to see the updated details. Which is what an homage should be. It is unmistakable in terms of what it represents but is in fact something new and updated. Simply stunning.

Yes...all the car manufacturers with legendary cars should take notes. I am tired of them coming up with designs and forms that are absolutely nothing like the old cars...People have been asking for the old shapes back but they always come up with some stupid new look.

[@Green-Olle]

VOLVO P1800 CYAN, Is up there! Wow

[@ohedd]

My goodness, yes. Look at Lamborghini's attempt at paying tribute to the great Countach, and it was essentially an Aventador with a few Countach styling cues. It's more of an insult to the Countach than an homage. But with the CC850 they actually captured the spirit of the CC8S; made it an analog 6-speed (same as CC8S), they sacrificed BHP to capture the throttle responsiveness, gave it the same proportions as the CC8S with regards to dimensions, and as you said, almost indistinguishable in terms of design as the original. This is what happens when a company is headed by people with a vision, rather than a committee with excel sheets.

Koenigsegg is so ahead of their time. Makes me wonder why legacy companies like Ferrari and Lamborghini haven't come up with a manual solution aswell- maybe Koenigsegg are the only ones who have the passion to keep the manual going...

It's simple. Dual clutch transmissions cannot shift from any gear to any gear. Lamborghini is so backward they still haven't found a DCT for the Aventador.

[@dod_the_angel]

@@srinitaaigaura Lamborghini aren't backward, it's just the limitations of the design. They wanted to fit a twin clutch in an aventador but none of the ones they have to use actually fit

@@dod_the_angel true. To manage the torque from their V12, there was only one gearbox good enough. And that's the Chiron's. 1. It's MASSIVE and can't fit 2. It's way too expensive 3. Imagine an aventador with a gear selector that looks like it came from a Chiron. Not a good design. That's why

[@Real_MisterSir]

This is, quite simply, THE Koenigsegg to have. It has the vision and ambition of the original CC8, and then it's like "here are 20 more years of development to perfect it". It's literally the dream. It is the most pure from a visual point of view, it withholds the manual transmission but adds the convenience of the automatic. It has a tight and focused interior with quality craftsmanship. Every component, nut and bolt, is exquisitely machined and manufactured. This is what I'd love to see other brands like for example Pagani do to their original Zonda C12. These types of cars, the originals that held all the vision and ambition of the founders who wanted to make a world hit car, they just hold something very pure and unique.

And what Adrian Newey a achieved with the Aston Martin Valkyrie is astonishing. So in my humble opinion of a guy who would never own such beautiful and awesome cars, koenigsegg is not really ready for an F1 adventure,and imho they don't really need to. F1 is ridiculously expensive the costs to develop a in-house power unit is absurdly high, I mean even Ferrari struggled till 2022 season and mclaren is a bit down on the grid positions and they are currently the two teams with the most history in F1, koenigsseg should really risk to put themselves in this crazy adventure with the highly chance of failure? I don't think so. Plus they are already consolidated in their own hypercar segment, with loyal customers, F1 wouldn't bring anything valuable for the company imho.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

i love how classic and old school, yet modern it looks in comparison to their range, and what an insanely nice homage it is. Such an awesome trans too

[@sachinyadav-zl7ub]

Amazing to see this of detailed explanation of each and every changes. amazing car with really innovative gear box.really loved this car. 1to 1 ration is really hard to achieve. heads off to this kind of engineering.

[@GoofieNewfie]

I'm going to give this guy the biggest compliment I can give. Also near 50 yrs old, the McLaren F1 to me is the single best car ever made making me a huge fan of Gordon Murray. I am more excited about what these guys have accomplished here than the the T50. There, I said it. It is gorgeous and if that manual has no downsides... my mind is blown. Oh, and the end of the video...that sound...omg!

[@AimForTheBushes908]

Yeah I'm a big fan of Murray as well. These guys are always pushing the envelope, it's truly remarkable.

[@stefanroseEP3]

Koenigsegg are incredible, that's all that needs to be said. Every car they come out with is revolutionary in some crazy way.

[@billcaddy359]

I truly love Bugattis and their rich history, but Christian’s company is absolutely spectacular in innovation and tending to the dreams of his customers. He is also a true lover of cars, not so business executive that only wants to make money. I have nothing but respect for him

[@MamayMotoventures]

CvK needs to be awarded with the Nobel Prize seriously! That transmission is insane!

[@fattysworld1905]

Man what a company. Christian’s intimate technical knowledge and passion for the cars is astounding.

[@ianmccann]

Christian is the ultimate car guy. Enthusiastic about his craft, drives his own cars, master engineer and innovator, and an all around great guy.

[@trannam1277]

love how they re-design the lights

[@ohedd]

So great. Took styling cues from the CC8S headlights, while incorporating the aerodynamic functionalities of the Gemera headlights.

[@shmid9823]

I absolutely love the styling. Going back to the roots of supercars, smooth lines and pure driver experience.

[@Vgk36]

Yeah but recycling design versus all new for way more money . I would feel jipped.

[@ZesPak]

I've always liked the Pagani designs better, but there's no denying what kind of technical achievements Koenigsegg are reaching. Also the fact that Christian is alway good to talk shop and seems to know his cars down to the most miniscule screw. It's hard to fathom just how close he is to the car which makes Koenigsegg very unique. If I ever had that sort of money to spend, I'd happily go to Koenigsegg above all else.

[@mohamedkandil1789]

This is absolutely revolutionary in terms of a transmission!! The fact you truly get the best of both worlds and still environmentally friendly is definitely worthy of respect!!

[@greggb681]

Okay I am just going to say it, THIS is my favorite Koenigsegg EVER! It has the analog feel I miss from the early versions but the modern chassis technology we love. Christian, YOU my man are the only God I worship! James, I am damn proud of you and so happy you have the same love and passion for this Swedish supercar brand!

[@zachkraeuter4820]

A transmission that works this way has been a figment of my imagination for a very long time. The option of both worlds. Awesome

[@andoletube]

I've read this sort of comment about this transmission probably 1000 times. I can only conclude that lots of people have similar ideas, but only a few unique people on the planet actually make them happen.

[@Zx636mph]

Koenigsegg again and again revolutionizes and thinks outside the box, always a first with the transmissions, the direct drive, then the lst, now this lst varient that is just insane with different gear ratios in different drive modes and an automatic and manual with literally no weight added, absolutely insane, they really are the best car brand no doubt.

[@SPL3000]

To have different gear ratios besed on the mode you select really blew my mind. To have a full manual and automatic coexist is crazy but the ratios I just think is complete engineering genius.

[@joeschmoe5009]

Once the rear clamshell is open, i love how the tail lights are mounted and look like gauge pods. So wierd and so cool

[@LeeM74]

Now, this is THE Koenigsegg that I want. I loved the CCXR and this just improves in every area. Plus, that transmission is just genius.

[@anthonyjarvis9472]

ive never been a fan of the styling or really wanted one of these cars but i have a deep respect for Christian and the way this company finds solutions that others cannot dream up!

[@feelthatfeelthat]

I love how excited the owner is as well as being down to earth. Most owners would be snobs once they made it etc.

[@srinitaaigaura]

All other companies : Automated Manual Transmission. Koenigsegg : Manualized Automatic Transmission.

[@Keatoil]

This is how you make a throwback / continuation for the new generations of a car's model, even the same body lines and so much more

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Can we Just all agree that gear setup is absolute genius!!!!

[@ghoulbuster1]

This is it, the peak of innovation! Legends will be told of this perfected machine.

[@radicaIized]

This is amazing, the CC8S is back in business

[@joeschmoe5009]

I absolutely love christian and his company, true car person wanting the best and to push the boundaries. Theres no other owner or company like it in my mind

[@MacBookAir-cu4fb]

I may sound stupid. But this idea with „digital manual“ came to my mind years ago. I though it would be so incredibly cool to implement it as it would combine the best 2 things of both worlds! To say the least, Christian and his Team have killed it! This could be the future for many many cars that will be much more enthusiastic to drive while still being able to be efficient due to many gears. Absolute insane!!

[@michaelgakanga]

There are many people who dream similar things but usually are in different positions to be able to achieve such dreams Just like when Koenigsegg wanted the first removable hardtop supercar then the Ferrari F50 dropped

[@stubones]

BMW's SMG gearbox (E90 bmw, or E60 for eg.) is already a digitized manual. Its literally a manual gearbox being changed using software and additional hardware.

[@I2SIDESI]

@@stubones it's nice but the Gearbox in the Koenigsegg is a nother story.

[@MacBookAir-cu4fb]

@@stubones But only on a technical level. You can’t drive it as a proper manual.

[@THESLlCK]

Everyone thinks they’re the first person to think of something it’s hilarious

[@3yar1983]

That's the loudest and most aggressive engine start i ever heard 😳 .. WOW😍😍

[@failingup4907]

An automatic and manual in the same gearbox.. Crazy! When other manufactures like Chevy making the Corvette auto only, this guy does both! So much respect for this guy. Don't kill the manual. And this is coming from someone with a C7 Corvette with 7 spd manual and supercharger. Love his cars!

[@allensaunders449]

Love the ethos of the car. Fascinating manual and the instrument cluster is jewelry for sure

[@darthvaper6745]

I'll say it ...Christian is the most genius innovator in the automotive industry..... End of

I can't stop emphasizing how beautiful this car is .im in disbelief that something like this has come out of koenigsegg factory. This is truly a masterpiece. The interior is out of this world 😍🤩

[@g4do]

Awesome throwback feel coming from this design. Looks like a 90's design.

[@AngieMeadKing]

That is amazing gearbox technology, wish they made more affordable super cars!

[@jalenad11]

It's insane how fast they have to be moving in the design room to be CONSISTENTLY 10 steps ahead of everyone else.

[@killroyhh]

This car gives me hope for the future of manuals!

[@mba9565]

I was so excited for jesko. But now this is the most beautiful and elegant car i have ever seen. Arguably the most beautiful koenigsegg design

[@bigwangmark]

Koenigsegg really is a genius when it comes to coming out with amazing designs and concepts. It's a shame he does not have a second normal car brand making cool consumer cars because even they would be amazing cars.

[@-joo3033]

They had a Saab deal back in the day but they backed out...

[@The_Curious_Cat]

I was never a fan of the original CC8S mainly because of the headlights (that wavy top was weird to me) and some parts of the design lacked refinement. But this one is on point in that department. The simplicity of the lines that remind the original, but way more refined, no unnecessary wavyness or other weird things. The way everything has an "anchor" instead of just floating in the panel, how the lines flow along the car. Love it.

[@mehVhem]

The gearbox blows my mind, the shear amount of things Koenigsegg has developed in house or pioneered is absolutely wild!

[@Vgk36]

Wait til someone drops something into the workings of the exposed shift mechanism .

[@ateamfan42]

And what is wonderful about their innovations is that in time, as economies of scale bring down costs, some of this amazing technology may find its way into cars normal people can afford.

I love how in all your videos you give a very laid back feel to the interviews. I think Christian is legendary, humble but knows when he deserves a pat on the back as well and it shows in his personality and the cars he produces. The fact that James was leaning on the car at times and Christian never batted an eye. Just incredible video and incredible car and company. Much love from Canada, cheers 🍻

[@sneakerguy2430]

I fell inlove with koenigsegg cars when I first saw one in 2014 need for speed the movie. They are absolute pieces of art on wheels and I will work my ass off to buy one. If I can't buy one I shall build my own supercar/hypercar. Christian has inspired me to create something unique. Much respect to him
