@@MrJarenko0097 With a good enough catalytic converter like the ones MIT are working on that can capture all CO2 emissions they are far from dead my friend. It is a shame that Koenigsegg is not working on a super efficient standard road car. Imagine a carbon fibre monocoque four seater that has a top speed of 80miles an hour and gets 100 miles per gallon? Electric cars still have the issue of extremely heavy and environmentally harmful batteries. The production capabilities and techniques are already so efficient for combustion engines that they can produce them way more efficient than any electric car. Perhaps you were talking about hydrogen powered cars? They are still combustion powered I guess...

Mr JWW is not a clueless guy. He is well informed in engineering and electronics . I think it is the reason why Christian connects so well with him because he shows knowledge and interest in the industry

Well, sorry but I´m just lost for words....we visited (Lotus Club of Sweden) Christian back in 99 at Margretetorp and he hasn´t change a bit, he showed us everything, no secrets at all with the same enthusiasm and knowledge as now, a great example of a man with no limitations everything is possible! Great video!

Well done James, you managed to change my opinion on this brand. I always considered those cars as overpriced low volume pimped cars but I wasn’t aware of all the specific and in-house development linked with prototype-like technologies. Impressive

One of my favorite CEOs/Owners.. I can listen to him tell his life story all day long. So focused, very knowledgeable, so excitingly involved with everything and he seems very humble & approachable. 👍

Christian is a gift and irreplaceable for the spirit of racing and its vision. I hope we will enjoy his creations for a long time and that he will continue to keep the world of automobiles on their toes and at the same time shock them.

It looks like a nice place to work. There's no yelling, everyone looks relaxed and calm around Christian. It takes an amazing group of people to design and build an amazing car.

Christian is an absolute genius. He makes what could be the most mundane mechanical jargon understandable and interesting. His passion always comes across.

James loved this video. What was evident to me was that, Christian is an alien and speaks another language. I’m with you, I felt small and simple when he was describing certain components of the car and explaining why materials were used over others. Pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of engineering. Great insights!!!!

Absolutely fantastic video. Sat here with a cheesy grin on my mug for the entire video. Great to see two people not only showing the engineering but explaining it and understanding it. Could watch this for hours !

I love the depth and detail Christian talks about, that you wouldn't get from any car review on his vehicles.

I just love listening to Christian explaining things. You know there is no better person in the world to explain his cars, and you directly know he knows his cars. Beautifull cars, great guy and amazing company!
