The Ultimate Test Drive - /INSIDE KOENIGSEGG

[@AKhellbindeR]

I like how Koenigsegg is one of the few car companies a long with Mclaren, that no one hates on, and everyone can agree is awesome.

[@fysy9989]

Don't tell Ferrari and Bugatti fanboys :D

[@nathanpace7371]

Bugatti has nothing on these guys

[@flatline7310]

+Nathan Pace You mean VW has nothing on these guys.

[@fysy9989]

Glad you changed your mind :)

[@fysy9989]

***** I don't know it.

[@Burning.Phoenix]

I've found a new respect for these cars and the people who work on them. Works of art for sure.

[@CrazyGreek80]

Talk about waking up every morning and loving your job!!

[@pujiatisalim5359]

So far, i think koenigsegg have built the best "fastest/ controllable/ stylish Hypercar to date....Christian von koenigsegg/ Robert serwanski & Team....WELL DONE.....can i have one of your cars now???

[@MattGoesSkiing]

Kiss ass, but I don't blame you.

[@borcudo]

"My name is Robert SerWanski and i have the most exciting job in the world" Go ahead, you can say that, no one is going to be jealous

[@scottk199]

Imagine living near the test track, heaven!

[@matthewwildgoose7230]

This car is the best in the world. End of story. As a fan of Ferrari, I think this will destroy Laferrari and the P1 just like it annihilated the Veyron. Those of you who want to mention the Venom, don't. The agera is clearly an all-around super car not just one made to take down the veyron's top speed record

[@wholesome4028]

Matthew Wildgoose you were correct, they recently curb stomped all the veyrons previous world records lol, koenigsegg is officially the undisputed king of the roads.

[@2000daffa]

well you did predict the future🙄

[@mehanmehan9421]

Upiytigt

[@laserbeam1620]

All these years later and you nailed it! Koenigsegg is the king

[@scribbleHunter]

Thank you Robert S for your effort and speech about this Swedish performance car. Watching this video really make me feel that everything is truly unique and genuine about the car brand, Koenigsegg. What is genuine is that you really test out everything to be perfect, that mean. In advance a driver will certainly have a car with maximum quality. Tack så mycket för videon!

[@Joe-gf7co]

Michael seems a nice guy and I believe Christian's energy attracting people who suit him and then they became a team. Look at this guy, he's calm and tell the story with enthusiasm just like his boss.

[@Sparks_Softly]

"It's all about the good compromise." well said

[@TearothDK]

By far the best sounding V8 ever. It just sounds like it gets much more out of the petrol it's burning. Sounds very brutish.

[@naodlakew8552]

Tearoth i think the one to one has the best sound ever

[@hertzwave8001]

same engine

[@julianrobinson0]

The first 53 seconds of this video are so wonderful, the music, that engine, the intro is just so good.

[@adamwest9910]

test driver for koenigsegg. is there any better job?

[@madstrikepolice-dylan-3156]

I cant think of one!

[@Antifaith29]

Adam West it's close but I would say someone that gets to drive/rest ALL the hyper and supercars like being a presenter on top gear. Get to go on adventures in those cars too, sometimes shitty cars but often amazing cars lol

[@Aleee150]

Antifaith29 True that. TG presenters job is the best ever.

[@nathanpace7371]

No. No there is not haha

[@neeravreddy9360]

A job that pays enough to own a koenigsegg... That's would be a better job

[@matlman1]

This car is just so beautiful. Not just in just the visual prospect, but also in the passion that is put into it. These people love what they make, and I would give up everything just to be able to work on these cars. They're not some pretentious Bugatti, they are a soulful creation that are made for true drivers.

[@ButterNutter37]

I love hearing Robert talk about the Agera. His passion for cars and love for the Agera R is intoxicating and contagious. "You must want to learn what is happening.." Keep on keepin' on Robert! You are such an inspiration!!

[@moorerobbie40]

These inside Koenigsegg video's just keep getting better and better. Thank you guys! Your doing an amazing job.

[@sgsjake3904]

this lucky bastard has literally the best job in the world

[@king.dannyman]

3:40 we discussed about the job!!!! WHAAAT I WOULD HAD SAID YES YES! Dream job!

[@rweghg3]

Brilliant move by Christian Von Koenigsegg to give Drive so much access to the Koenigsegg factory...The first time i seen a Koenigsegg ( digital creation ) was in the original x-box forza video game, now i see them for real on you tube all the time..Truly an awesome automobile

[@MulletWorx]

i think ive watched this vid bout 12 times now

[@mrolsen6987]

Yeah! I'am still here, 4years later😂

[@mehanmehan9421]

Malyali poli

[@ardvark84]

So that guy has the best job ever. Good. I need a CV made out of carbon fiber and magic as well.

[@brandoncodysutton]

The people behind this video at Motor Trend need a raise. Beautiful shots, beautiful soundtrack. Even though the car featured is not all that intriguing to me, I enjoyed the video very much. Great job. The finale should have Chris Harris thrashing a Koenigsegg!

[@AAB3958]

Koenigsegg and Pagani are from another world!

[@TwoToneProduc]

This company has my respect and appreciation, before the car, the man behind it, it takes a lot of vision and detiremination to start a car company from scratch and in a matter of a few years rach the top of the hypercar kingdom.

[@JordanPayneLV]

I love all of these videos, i hope you can make more series like this for other hypercars. It really gives a personality and beauty to these cars. I never was a fan of Koenigsegg until these videos came out

[@ArthrusGigawitAnteon]

this is such a fantastic series... It will be a sad day when the last episode comes out, as truly, this is some of the best web-produced material on the internet.

[@edekitrex]

It says a lot about a company that is this nice and willing to show such detail about what they do, hats off!

[@JamieBainbridge]

These Inside videos are my favorite. It's so good being able to see into the factory and processes and people of these godlike supercar makers, and realise they are all filled by really passionate and inspirational people who are also just down-to-earth humble dudes.

[@Quietprofessional1]

One word describes this car... BRUTAL..............................................

[@FPTanky]

i recomend you guys to watch the testdrivers videos he shot on the nürburgring. this dude is amazing

[@bradleyparkinson4525]

That test car driver, has got the job of a life time I fuzzing wish driving round in a 1000+HP koenigsegg agera R, my favourite car an drem job to work for him

[@imnotanead]

the production quality of this video IS TO DAMN HIGH! this videos is just amezing, many thanks to the team behind /Drive

[@ItsXXnotXXme]

Best series ever first time i've seen a car manufacturer show what it does.

[@borcudo]

"It takes a really long time to adjust, because i like driving this around"

[@rohanrr31]

After watching the documentary Apex: Story of the hypercar, I have mad respect for Robert Serwanski

[@wakaf1986N]

I am speechless! First time i saw this car i fell in love with this brand! And i simply can not come up with a word which would describe the beauty of the both engineering and styling of this car! It is beyond superb. Superlative product!

[@mustachos1993]

Meanwhile in Texas: Billy Bob Hennessey and Cletus Hennessey give that good 'ol 'Vette gearbox a damn good smacking with the hammer til them gears work.

[@EVsSuck777]

Lol, well hopefully now they'll work on the 2016 Ford GT..

[@MrNissetuta]

Lol!

[@ManticoreH]

I love this series! And yes, this man has the best job. Ever. Koenigsegg is just outstanding in every way, the look and sound of the Agera put the Huayra to shame IMO... this is quite possibly my favorite supercar!

[@zahinbro96]

I have alot of respect for robert. The way he talks really shows how experienced he is, and it almost felt like he owned the company. He was also right about race drivers being different than test drivers. Kudos to kristen for hiring him :)

[@wangyuehua6588]

For anyone who still plays video games, this guy here got the sickest "VR" car game in the entire universe!

[@MrMillenium67]

This is a great series, really enjoying it. Well done Drive!

[@joakimswahn9179]

There are many hyper-cars, but, there's only one "Mega-car", the Koenigsegg One:1, deal with it!

[@moizabualikhalilullah6976]

maybe u should deal with Hennessey venom f5

[@mahershawkat]

this car is gonna be mine in the close future

[@Slipknate]

reham is it yours yet

[@serialhater7360]

What about now

[@DrewHolli]

Don't stop believing fam🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@powersurge001]

keep feeling the need to say this on every episode: best DRIVE series ever.

[@ametti000]

I've grown so much respect for this car company that i initially thought was weird, but it is absolutely brilliant and a testament to Christian and the workers.

[@jaredgarner7380]

how could one not want to work at koenigsegg i mean it would be so amazing even to get the priviledge to work on one

[@VanDaminator606]

I could never get bored driving this car everyday. How he even said it was nice that he doesn't get bored is something I cannot begin to fathom.

[@cwx8]

Is this man an artist, an engineer, a driver? Seems like he walks the line narrowly. Amazing episode.

[@elsa3dany1]

Was waiting for this from long time :)

[@tommcmannfilms]

every single episode of Drive could be Inside Koenigsegg and i'd be perfectly happy with that

[@katsumio]

Another amazing video in this series...

[@SportbikerNZ]

Very cool. Great series, somehow leaves a good taste in the mouth just watching.

[@sexy350Zowner]

0:44 I never get tired of the sound of those turbos spooling

[@danieldelouya]

I know it's kinda sad but these videos are the highlight of my week!!!

[@twztd28]

Yeah, I was talking about the base 5.0L and even with forged pistons I doubt how long that engine would last pushing this kind of power. I recall watching a video somewhere on youtube quite a while ago with an interview with Koenigsegg about what they were doing with the Agera's engine, they were experimenting with pretty revolutionary ideas and even talking about producing camless engines for their cars. I believe the CCR was the last car the use what was essentially a Ford block.

[@bahaatamer1245]

9:44 the plane and Koenigsegg: this says it all!

[@dustinfowler7868]

I WANT THIS JOB! Unbelievable

[@hybomir]

Awesome track man! Thanks to Drive for showing us your super music!

[@DJCallegari1]

That shot with the airplane was sick. Great job Guys!!!!

[@Barry_Block]

this guy is so humble and bad ass, what a great job to have!

[@TC_Geosci]

Thank you very much :-). My evening is a much happier one now.

[@imrighthere123456]

I love this series. It would be great to see something like this done with pagani as well.

[@twztd28]

I have to agree with your statement here. Developing an entire new engine platform would be extremely costly. Probably more than a low volume company like Koenigsegg can afford. So it definitely makes sense, and hey, look at how capable engines like the 5.4 in the GT are. They push insane power in those cars. Granted they are beefed up when required, but still...

[@WhoTfIsMark]

I can not get over how insanely beautiful this car is.

[@shaned1500]

and than they made the even more beautiful regera how do they do it

[@WhoTfIsMark]

+Shane Dennis Meh, I don't really like the back end lol

[@shaned1500]

Really I like it. guess everyone can't like it

[@WhoTfIsMark]

+Shane Dennis Don't get me wrong, the car looks awesome, especially the front. It's just that the back end looks a bit scrunched to me

[@shaned1500]

+Joey B. I see that I kinda like it that way but that interior though

[@snaketiger00]

Hearing those massive turbo's spool up leaves me in goosebumps

[@uwot9021]

The exhaust in general make me happy

[@andyb0x]

This Koenigsegg series is excellent

[@goetzemj]

Absolutely brilliant series

[@JasonBungard]

Probably, he's talking about choosing different gear ratios. Back in the '60s, American cars were had optional close-ratio or wide-ratio gearboxes. Close-ratio was optimized for acceleration, wide-ratio gave good performance but less shifting in town. I would think this is probably what he means.

[@drsaintdc]

Song of opening?

[@barath4545]

Agreed, and make sure he tests it going round corners. We already know it's a beast from 0-fast-0. Wanna see its cornering speeds compared with a stock GT-R(just to compare to something) and a Zonda Huayra.

[@interista7878]

He was talking about tuning the different modes. What's a good engine or gearbox setting in race mode or track mode or whatever Koenigsegg calls it is not optimal for city driving, so they tune the engine and gearbox and I assume also throttle, breaks and steering differently for each mode. If you were to run the car in race mode in the city it would probably stall at every traffic light and breaking would be an immediate dead stop by the slightest push of the pedal.

[@en_ray]

Topgear is a huge supporter of Koenigsegg... The CCX was top of the speed wall for a while and Stig crashed it on the track, which led to the addition of the 'Top Gear Spoiler' on the CCX options list. The show's barely returned to screens, I'm sure if they could fit it into programming soon they would!

[@Rockybalboa541]

drive has been killing it this past year

[@DoctorPetrol]

The Swedish Valentino Balboni! Great video again!

[@3n3s1992]

he might have meant that "city tuning" would not have as aggressive gear shifts, you'd want a smooth shift during city driving. but for their record they mustve used the best fuel, the most aggressive gear changes and suspension settings and such. technically you can do the same with your own agera but it might not be set up like that when it leaves the factory.

[@ExhaustedBus]

Tuesday is quickly becoming my favorite day on Drive.

[@cardellbarkhorn]

[@costasmandylor7252]

Love this series.

[@v_alexiadis]

Love these series!

[@Bad95killer]

Amazing job guys .. and The ghost sounds music to my ears wow!

[@fisherbredrup]

Cant stop watching the first 50 seconds of this

[@lucasholma8350]

i love how the car world has gone more to handling rather than straight line performance and top speed, much like the 918, P1, and the LaFerrari

[@JordanZ25]

I'm not saying the Venom is a bad looking car, Im just saying its a modified Lotus with an LS9 made in a nice garage in Texas with various parts from various companies, while the Agera is built from scratch in an aircraft hangar in Sweeden that used to house fighter jets...

[@SilverShux]

Dear Drive, Please please PLEASE make sure to have Chris Harris review this car. Although we have received a wealth of information about this build through these great short clips, we still do not have an impartial solid driver who can articulate a sentence as well as the way they can drive a car really tell us what it feels to like. Thanks in advance

[@kennethdemeester4069]

Robert Serwanski had the best job in the world. Nuff said

[@NIK516]

Thank you this is amazing to watch.

And yet most advanced and innovatory to be made to date :)

This is one seriously great meaningful Thought pall!

[@caliber5029]

the perfect dream car

[@sherman3211]

Seriously. In my book he has damn near the brilliance of the Porsche family. I am thoroughly impressed.

[@michael2305]

koenigsegg = brilliant man, brilliant company and brilliant car rare triple crown i'd say ..

[@itsmeagainforsure8120]

if i see this car i always find ferraris porsches mclarens look like toys. i must say i find pagani also great but this looks like a total other level on everything

[@ohgodlemmein]

He was indeed a racing driver. If you google his name+career you get his racing records. Apparently he did kart racing and ran in the MX-5 Swedish cups. Not sure if he has any kind of engineering studies or something of the sort.

[@ShamGod3000]

Thank you Drive for these videos
