FIRST LOOK: Koenigsegg CC850 - 1385hp, $3.65m Reimagined Hypercar | Top Gear

[@sparky4878]

Christian is a proper engineer. Such pride in the details. He obviously has a team of clever people working with him but he knows his stuff. I’m not one to be a fan of a car company boss but he’s in a league of his own.

You're not a fan of pappa musk? 😂 Wonder if he even knows what a flywheel is. I mean, he doesn't need to, but still.

Today I learned Wildcat has incredible taste in cars.

[@patrickdgarez86]

Beyond the incredible humility, passion, spectacular knowledge and joy that Christian exudes through every pore, I absolutely love when he uses the term "we". Yes, there is a stunningly competent and exquisite team behind him, he is ultimately the boss and could say things like "I invested in this factory because". Not only are his cars stunning achievements, he is likely an amazing boss to work for. I imagine that no one his team would ever even think about leaving or being disloyal. A true leader. Very much the Swedish way. Hats off!

[@lusalalouis6675]

I love the fact that Christian always notes the other great cars from other companies in his talks. He really does appreciate great engineering and so it's not a surprise that Koenigseggs are some of the best engineered vehicles out there. Wish him and his team all the best.

[@briantucker4255]

This car is a work of art. Pure perfection

[@Cloxxki]

I'm glad they were convinced to make another 20 of these. They're such rare cars, and I guess it's good for their business to produce these 20 examples more. Gemera is the apple of my eye, that car is such a motivation to get serious about my business. All the performance I need and them some, great electric-only performance and great highway range, with a bunch of people and bags on board. With just 2 people, space for loads more bags. Basically the fastest roadtripper. If not so flashy, a perfect cannonball runner :-D

[@reubenjacobson4543]

A simple ohv big block V8 can race full speed for hours and hours but can this engine and box revv out all day and night literally.

[@dhanu_4539]

Horacio Pagani, Christian von Koenigsegg and Mate Rimac. I'm so happy that these 3 people exist.

[@dennison1500]

Dont forget Gordon Murray!

[@mattyice2099]

It truly shows how much vision christian has as a car designer and founder- the CC series was perhaps the most raw and aesthetic rendition of a v8 supercar- now a hypercar.

[@monkfishy6348]

Incredible piece of engineering.

[@vinuyajohn719]

Everytime Koenigsegg launch a a new production car is literally out the world and far different from others...the upgrade and innovation they made is s mind-blowing. Just damn genius

[@charlesshamseldin9555]

He is my favorite person in the car business for a reason. Likeable, a maverick, an enginneer, well spoken, and talented.

[@stealthhtm23]

CVK’s passion & knowledge of his products, is unlike any other. I can listen to him all day, talk about this masterpiece. couldn’t even imagine driving this engineering marvel. can’t wait for this car to be thrashed around!!

[@gavinj01]

Christian is an amazing engineer and seems like an awesome guy. I had the good fortune of seeing a Regera at Road America this summer and it drew a huge crowd. Everything they do is an engineering marvel and a work of art.

[@OTechnology]

Its 2022 and Topgear is still uploading in 1080p

[@JoakimPekkari]

I love hearing Christian talk about his cars and inventions, his ability to explain things very plainly is a proper proof of how well he knows the details in and out!

[@rashadvsyou]

I love hearing him talk about everything so much, when he was on Jay Lenos Garage i was pretty moved by his passion tbh

[@xevan_knight_official]

Christian is in a league of his own! Koneigsegg is my favourite super/hypercar manufacturer of all of them because they proved that they can outmatch all the giants (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti) with their engineering and technology. I love this new CC850 because not only does it look like the original CC8/CCX's of "old" but it just looks and sounds beautiful. It is my dream to own this car and an Agera RS one day

[@tobytoxd]

Two great guys in a lovely conversation on an absolute dream car and an unseen pack of innovation! Great episode, thank you! I'm a big fan since the CC8S 💘

[@ryanmolloy5421]

Christian is the man. Coolest car guy ever. I want to see him and Chris Harris chum it up.

[@damionatherton7312]

This guy is an engineer extraordinary man. I could listen to him all day and never get bored. I love all of your work and I would love to own one of your cars one day. The thing is don't know when that day will arrived.

[@SMITESHSURESH]

20:08 That's the best bit right there, shows what it really takes to build something exceptional.

[@RunningWild32]

Sheer beauty. IMO, it is hard to top the engineering and beauty that is Koenigsegg

[@isheanesumalunga1168]

Amazing how Christian is so into this yet didn't study for it conventionally. Such an inspiration and humble personality.

[@AMdrew]

The car looks out of this world. I don't know how to explain it. I love it beyond words. Those wheels are magnificent.

[@adamb2619]

[@akshaymurukate7163]

future of manual transmission, thank you for keeping that one

[@STAG162]

I've always been a big fan of Koenigsegg, even since old Top Gear (and finding out the hard way that the rear end needed downforce), and I wish Koenigsegg well in their new premises, but I'm astounded at how Christian got his massive head into that hardhat! Also you can see why the roof needed to come off so they could sit in the cabin - Christian is not a small bloke.

[@AbbStar1989]

Christian von Koenigsegg is so freaking awesome. There will be ballads and poems written about him in the future.

[@SimoJekov]

Great cars built by an amazing team! They manage to amaze me with every single new model.

Christian is such a cool person. Inspiring and that manual concept is just lovely. I love the fact that eventhough those cars are out of the reach of most for those that can afford them they can still get that purist experience. 👍

[@mommaduck79]

Best car of the decade by far. I've been dreaming of such an 'augmented' manual/auto hybrid ever since I money shifted my car a few years ago - so massive props to Christian hahaha. Shame that this tech won't even ever get a chance to 'trickle down' to consumer cars with how ICE vehicles are being phased out :(

[@williamhuigens3192]

If there´s one person I´d like to meet on this planet, it´s got to be Christian. So intelligent and an all around friendly guy. Love the work from him and his team

This without question and annoyingly is my favourite looking car.

I can't believe how big Koenigsegg has become from a car built by one man sandpapered in a shop to building innovative hypercars and most importantly thy didn't just vanish like other upcoming companies
