American Reacts to the Rigorous Koenigsegg Durability Testing.. 

Regera = to reign (it has no traditional gearbox uniqe sound) Agera = to act (was the world fastest car) Jesko = Name of his dad (insane gearbox) Gemera = Give more (its a 4 seater instead of 2 seater, 4 fullsize adults) CC 850 is a homage to the first car CC the first car Christian will by for himself. CCX was the car Top gear crashed (ate a tire) one : 1 first car that had a ratio of 1 hp per kg The ghost is a symbol of the former ghost squadron (Swedish airforce squadron) that had its base where koeningsegg builts its cars today. Only cars built in the hangar can have the symbol. Back in 2002 I lived close to the Koeningsegg factory that burnt down to the ground.

The Gemera can seat 4 6'5" people , 4 carry on bags, is hybrid , 5.0 V8 + dark matter electric motor , 2300hp ( two thousand ,three hundred) , on a full tank (26,3 gallons) and a full charge will do 625 miles, it has 8 cup holders, 4 heated and 4 cooled , the ultimate family car lol

Koenigsegg's engineering is on a completely other level than any other hypercar manufacturer (with Rimac maybe getting close, though they only do EV hypercars). Any video with Christian talking about their engineering is worth watching

You should definitely check out more Koenigsegg. I could listen all day long to that guy talk about the various engineering innovations of his company.

ironically, the gemera is actually quite large (interior wise), it can seat 4 people, and you have the option of having a 600hp 2L I3 + the dark matter electric motor, or the jesko's v8 + dark matter electric motor (2300hp combined)

Mr JWW visits the Konigsegg factory, and Christian gives a really good run down on the innovations on all the different cars getting built there.

The things that Koenigsegg innovates is unmatched. They have the record for the first 0-400kph(the car that they are smashing in this video), held the WR for top speed for 5 years, made first car with 1:1 power to weight ratio and made a 4 seater with 2300 hp and the list goes on.

I met Christian while presenting one of his cars at the Auto Show. Koenigsegg also has a showroom in my city, so I've seen them all. Christian is a one of a kind man. He knows everything about everything that's in his cars... He is a true inventor of the modern age

The CC850 is the evolution of the CCX that uses the gearbox from the Jesko (pronounced Yesko) which is a 9 speed which is only operated by changing the clutches to engage which gear ratio you want at the given moment rather than the traditional duel clutch which relies on the gear to be selected to achieve the gear ratio on either side of the two halves. That's what they developed for the Jesko and redeveloped it for the CC850 to not only have the 9 speed auto multi clutch but also can be put over to manual mode to drive it as a stick shift using a manually operated clutch pedal as was the original CC8 and CCX! Mind blowing 🤯

I don't care for hypercars much, but I admire Koenigsegg for their technological innovation. Their direct drive hybrids with a torque converter and free valve turbo, that's just incredible out of the box thinking and extremely innovative. It's technology begging to trickle down in "affordable cars".

In 1961 Roger Moore, of James Bond fame, was in a show called "The Saint". He drove a Volvo P1800. Nicely designed coupe.

Glad you're reacting to Koenigsegg's testings of their cars like some crazy test btw Koenigsegg is the first car manufactuer that made a car beyond hypercar a MegaCar, the Gemera · ‎Jesko Absolut · ‎Jesko Attack · ‎CC850 are all Megacars that goes beyond the limits, you should react to the Gemera, Jesko Absolut and the Jesko Attack

You should definitely watch more about Koenigsegg, they're always innovating and building some crazy stuff, specifically the CC850's transmission

Fun fact: Koenigsegg has a patent on their "synchro double-helix" door hinges which allow them to open like that. Also, when you were talking about their engines, it's kind of funny that you should mention Ford engines first, as when Koenigsegg were starting out, until the Agera, I think, Koenigsegg did use Ford engines. They used the Panther V8 from cars like the Mercury Maurauder. Then, with the Agera they began to manufacture their own engines.

Got to meet and talk to Koenigsegg today at work, he's a true automotive genius

‘This could be a multi-part thing’ - it WILL 😂 Christian von Koenigsegg is, no question, a genius. A real encyclopaedia of knowledge, and it really reflects in the cars his company produces. You’re in for a treat learning about these cars 👍🏾

I hope you keep going down the Koenigsegg rabbit hole, there is so much cool stuff to learn. You should also check out some videos about Rimac, Croatian company (that actually now owns Bugatti) helped Koenigsegg create the most powerful car - Koenigsegg Regera

You should check out the Koenigsegg 850 CC, which has a 9 speed box with 7 clutches, which can either be driven as an automatic, or a 6 speed manual, WITH clutch. The Regera is a hybrid, with just one gear (equivalent to 7th gear) and is the fastest 0-250-0 mph time of 28.81 seconds. Also check out the clip from inside as the Agera RS breaks the world record with an average of 277.87 mph. We can in Sweden 😁🇸🇪

you have to react to their top speed run in Nevada if i remember correctly, it's insane how that car accelerates !! and their other videos where they tour their factory and show almost everything without keeping too many secrets.

Is 2300hp sufficient. Or do you want to go for the 1800hp budget hybrid?

First saw Christian in a Documentary 20 years ago just after the Hangar Factory Fire. What a fighter and hard worker he and his wife are. Love the Squadron Mascot (Ghost) being used on those Cars. Makes his own Engines because all Competitors knew he was out to establish World Records and he has done that. His adaption of Electric Drives is overwhelming . 😮

You should watch the old Norwegian stop motion movie Pinchcliffe Grand Prix. That movie inspired a young Christian Von Koeningsegg to become a car engineer. They also made a fullscale, street legal replica of the hero car Il Tempo Gigante

"I know what I'm buying when I win the lottery" yea, good luck with that :D their models usually sell out before the production even starts. (well, thanks to announcing them 2-3 years prior, and the new tech Christian adds to every new model) 18:30 fun fact: the Gemera was planned with a 2l inline 3 with 600!!! horsepower in itself (plus the e-motors) but as of now, they realised it can fit the V8 they use in other models, so there is an option to get a 4 seater car with 2100!! horsepower

The gemera has 2300horsepower

Koenigsegg are just in the front on innovation and revolutionary solutions. And pushing the boundaries of road legal without compromise in terms of performance, design, safety and comfort. The Jesko, Jesko Absolut and Gemera are something else. Especially the latter is unheard of. But the Regera with it's direct drive was quite the thing when it was introduced... And Koenigsegg have just kept on improving and introducing wilder technologies ever since. The 7 clutch 9 speed gearbox for example is universe in itself to lesrn about... Reading up on Koenigsegg it's almost a guarantee to fall in love with them and becoming your new favorite brand. And Christian is a gem. A true owner and founder who is involved in every process from idea to reality and love talking about it to show is passion, love and fire for what they do.

His cars are basically indestructible, which you really cant say about most other hypercars. They can take TREMENDOUS amounts of damage, torture, regular wear and tear, and just keep on ticking.

I think, you have to react to a sound compilation of Koenigseggs, like reviving, or flybys, or hard accelerations... their sound is insane Also, I think you have to react about the technology of almost each model, because it is insane!!👍

Koenigsegg has so awesome technical stuff that no other car brand has, like their transmissions, engines and all! you should check that brand out! SO AMAZING stuff! Christian Von Goenigsegg is engineering god!

It's not only USA's safety-laws that are strict, it's also the USA's liability-laws are unreal. I've worked in a factory once, manufactoring ergonomic chairs (in The Netherlands). The user manual for the whole world except USA was maybe 20 pages. The user-manual for USA was 500 pages. It said the most ridiculous things in it like: do not put chair in microwave, do not eat chair, do not use chair for landing on moon etc etc. It's like if it's not written down, the company making the chairs is liable when it's users are not using common sense.

the CC850 has a insane gearbox, usually you hear that a manual transmission gets converted to an automatic, well that one is the other way around while still having the option to be automatic, it even has a functional clutch pedal so you can drive it or stall it or grind a gear like a proper manual.

My all time favourite brand! Appeared out of nowhere - yet being on the top of their game now. Very innovative company

I liked the double door slamming trying to get a window to pop out.

Christian is my hero - his cars are uncompromising engineering marvels. I wish he was my boss, or maybe my cousin…. Lol…. The wheels, by the way, are hollow carbon. Koenigsegg used to make every single piece of their cars except for the tires, down to the nuts and bolts. You gotta learn more!

I'm reminded of Top Gear when they had one of these down for lap times and in one of the few cases, the Stig spun off in it and went through a tire-wall and emerged relatively unscathed with a tire stuck in its front grill/opening.

Funfact. Each koenigsegg is a targa, witch means, you can take of the roof. And you can store the roof in the front of the car, so the roof is always there, if it would start raining.

Yeah Regera IS pronounced just as you said it. They have names meaning different things in Swedish. I think Agera RS has the record still for fastest production car with 447 km/h. And the price is astronomical, check it out. Just the wheels cost more than many people make per year.

I love this company. Christian Koenigsegg is a genius who surrounds himself with other geniuses' to build just the maddest cars!!

They have a "Dihedral synchro-helix actuation doors".. Great till you park along a tall kerb but by this video, It should buff out and you need Very little space to open them fully... Other super interesting innovations they have come up with are the "Direct drive" system they devloped and used in the Regera and the freevalve camless tech that they deployed in a 2.0L 3 pot they put in the Gamera. Wild stuff.

It holds the record for 0-400-0 kmh in less than 29 seconds

Make a series on them! They are super interesting

The Regera, one of the most if not the most unique Koenigseggs ever made quote: ( 11:43 ) "I know what car im gonna buy when i win the lottery" even if you win a lottery it may not even be enough 😭

At one point Koenigsegg sources a small quantity of white colored carbon fiber, enough to build three white cars. Three white in Swedish is tre vita, so the model was called Trevita. Fun trivia: Christian von Koenigseggs mom makes hats. My mom bought one, so she could honestly say that she owned a Koenigsegg!

14:20 it's the One:1 or 'one by 1' if you will. It has 1470 hp at a weight of 1470 kg

Hearing Americans talk about supercars, hypercars, is like a lumberjack talking about Italian designer shoes.

One:1 is One to 1. 1 horsepower to 1 kg. 1493 herspers. First car to do that. And Gemera is a 4 seater that can do over 450 kmh. With the world strongest and smallest 3 cylinder engine... and Electric motors. 3 cylinder engine puts out over 600 horsepowers and only weigh at 70 Kg and can fit in a suitcase.

By the way, in 2024 the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is the world record holder of fastes car in the world with having achieved a top speed of 330 mp/h, which translates to 531 km/h. For reference: The 2022 released racing game "Gran Turismo 7" had a Concept Car that was imagined to be released in 2035, the Dodge SRT Tomahawk X VGT, which could achieve a top speed of around 630 km/h. That would have been about 13 years in the future from the games release onward. But with the record the Jesko Absolut achieved in real life and not just plain theory it seems like we might be able to achieve that speed mark a lot earlier than we thought. What times to be alive.

As far as I know, the "old" Agera RS production car (i.e there are several, it can be bought and is street legal) FIA official top speed record still stands to this day... ? after all other malarkey went by the wayside.

Be sure to check info about their Freevalve engine. It's nice tech but unfortunately too expensive for most roads cars. Gemera year 2020 model had 600 bhp 3-cylinder(!) internal combustion engine with Freevalve tech. That 3-cylinder engine is assisted by 3 electric motors for total power around 1700 bhp. There's also variant of Gemera with V8 internal combustion engine combined with electric motors having total power around 2300 bhp if you think 1700 is not enough for you and you can accept heavier vehicle. Engineering explained with titled "2,300 Horsepower - How Koenigsegg Gemera's Insane Powertrain Works!" has lots of interesting details about the drivetrain explained on whiteboard.

Fun Fact: was once given the opportunity to drive the world record holding Agera RS Also, there is an entire youtube series by //Drive that is like a series of short documentaries about koenigsegg's philosophy and engineering, totally worth a watch if not a reaction.

In terms of technology and thinking outside of the box Koenigsegg is just in another galaxy. Of cause, they build very small numbers at insane pricetags. But still, imho Koenigsegg is the single most fascinating manufacturer in existence. (Since you mentioned it - they build their own transmissions, combustion engines, rims, tools, screws, you name it... even their own electric motors. It's just a car nerds' wonderland.)

They used to use the 4.6 DOHC Ford engine and I've heard the newer 5.0 is loosely still based on that engine but nothing is actually interchangeable. Just that they used the 4.6 as a basic template to build a new engine off of.

The bold guy is Christian von Koenigsegg and he is a total boss. He is now making Gemera, the 2400 hp four seater, bonkers stuff really. If you want to see more new stuff try Gordon Murray or Mate Rimac

14:21 in now and you mention Scania and Volvo as well. Have you heard of the swedish brand Saab AB... cars and fighter jets. My father had a Saab 9000 (yes nine thousand) turbo. Maybe you have already done a video about this brand, so sorry if you have... if not, look it up !

The last motor they have is a V8 biturbo developing 1100HP (5 liters). And with 3 eletric engines to support that that can give 700 horse power on top of that... yes, inpressive

the door hinges is the expensive part for the doors, in needs to be able to rotate, 90 deggrees, move forward and outwards at the same time

These cars are so rare that many car enthusiast in Sweden have never even seen one irl. I have had the great opportunity to not just see, but I have been blessed with riding passanger seat in two different models, Regera and CCXR. And I have seen the Jesko. But I don't know how someone would ever afford one. Even if winning $100 million on lotto you would have to pay $2-4 for the car, then add insurence, gas, repair etc...

Long post about my previous cars and how I feel about Volvo. Tl:dr it's an amazing car I upgraded from a 2017 Range Rover Evoque diseal to a 2023 Volvo XC60 B6, the Volvo is hands down the nicest car for around 100k AUD, everyone that gets into it says the exact same thing.....wait this is a Volvo, I never knew they were this nice inside. The engine is 300hp, dual charged so a Supercharger and a Turbo with an extremely mild hybrid system. Compared to my Range Rover it's so smooth, the Range Rover has a softer ride but that's only because it's on much thicker tyres which obviously provides more suspension. I'm going to buy a Polestar 3 or the equivalent in three years time, can't wait. My wife drives a XC40 Electric version and omg is that car quick and fun to drive. She loves it and says it much nicer than her Mercedes AMG A250. And we thought those cars were much much nicer than my 2014 Subaru Forester XT and more refined and better interior than her mk7 Golf GTI. Volvo's are extremely nice cars and everyone I've taken in either of ours says the same. Heavily underated car. And I only got the Volvo because the SQ5 I wanted had over a years wait list. I'm extremely glad I've chosen the Volvo. The self driving on the highway is phenomenal being in Australia and driving 7 and a half hours every other weekend (Canberra to Melbourne) is a life saver. Maps in a head up display is actually the handiest thing ever in a city that's foreign to me.

The US would rather enforce companies to up security on cars than to fix their roads and make them safer for example use roundabouts, less stop signs (so they have meaning), better public transport so there's fewer cars and lower speed limits. Just a thought :)

Strict safety regulations but not your Break light with amber indicators yet.

hey here is a complete list of the ones i know of at least lol 80 units of the Regera 25 units of the Agera RS 5 units of the Agera R 6 units of the One:1 300 units of the Gemera 125 units of the Jesko 50 units cc850 6 units of the cc8s 30 units of the ccx 9 units of the ccxr 6 units of the ccx/ccxr edition 2 units of the ccxr special edition 2 units of the ccxr trevita but they were suppose too build 3 all 3 of em were going too be in white carbon

@13:42. That car, the Gemera, makes 2375 HP. Check out the latest Regera 0-400-0 video for just how fast the "Eggs" are. And all of Koenigsegg's revolutionary tech. They are the most innovative car company ever. Koenigsegg reinvented the wheel, the engine, the doors, the wings, the suspension, the gearbox, the electric motor, everything...

Bro I don’t know what it is, whether it’s the beard or the hat but you look like Chris Kyle. I’ve probably seen American Sniper too many times but damn. Great vid btw 👌🏼

I don't know if they still do it, but they used to use a unique CF weave that had titanium strands woven into it - CF composits are very still and strong, but have poor impact energy absorbtion, when they do fail, which the Ti provides for a very small weight cost. Stretching one of their car's legs at an engine rpm limited 284 mph - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xj4gar5dKAU.html Oh, pre-race coverage of Bathurst starts tomorrow - got your viewing options sorted yet for Sunday (Saturday for you chaps)?

there tour videos are awesome to, and i agree normally i wouldnt go for a supercar idk i just dont like them, i like JDM mostly but these guys make there cars at a quality standerd if i had to choose it would be this company for sure

You would love the tour Tim Burton-Shmee150- did at the Rimac factory. Would be a very interesting video. Also Christian is a total legend. The tech involved in these cars is next level futuristic.

Wait until he figures out that the center exhaust looking thing on the back is not the exhaust but the two straight line cuts on the bumper on the two sides of the fake exhaust are the exhausts lol

They used Ford engines in their early models, before they started to develop their own. And yes, carbon fiber rims, and there is a video available showing them making them. They are kind of baked.

talking about the engine the early koeningsegg does come from modular cayote 5.0 if i recall. they learn from that engine then they made the engine themselves

The Koenigsegg Gemera is a 4-seater hypercar, where 4 adults can fit and 4 proper suitcases are included. The engines you have to choose from are a 3-cylinder engine and an electric engine that together provide 1850 horsepower. If you choose a V8 engine together with an electric motor, you have 2300 horsepower. Google koenigsegg gemera and look at the pictures or the video on RU-vid.

Koenigsegg is a pinnacle of the automotive industry hands down.. the cars they are making are just something you won't see anywhere else they are pushing the boundaries further and further it's insane

Oh a little bit offtopic. But did you know that they have started to use kevlarcarbon for example drift car bodypanels. Rear and front bumper, doors, trunk and sidepanels. It is lighter than fibreglass. And more flexible than carbonfibre. It is also very tough matrial. You can break it, but you need BIG forces. Downside is, it is expensive

Maybe here at the factory there is a therapy unit for tire kickers and for a car scratchers !

On Netflix, there was a documentary on them called Apex. It's a great watch.

Just waiting until Whistlindiesel buys one!😂

You should check out the speed tests they have done with this car

All Koenigsegg models are street legal , and the Gemera is a lear-mid engine, 4-seater, 2,3000 hp car, that can fit an additional 4 full size suitcases in the back, behind the engine

engeneering of koenigsegg is just mind blowing 4 real!check out the multi valve system and the clutch

definitely my favourite hypercar. these things are Insane

not only Sweden, has a hypercar, the Koenigsegg, but Denmark has one too, the Zenvo...

Their innovation will blow your mind

Koenigsegg use there own twin turbo v8 and it just got more and more power under the years, so the jesko have an twin turbo v8 on e85 gives out 1600bhp and 1500nm and on normal gasoline it gives only 1280hp The gemera is an four seater hybrid with v8 with 1500hp and one electric motor for 800hp and combine 2300hp and 2750nm

With the Agera they achieved over 400 km/h. And the Jesko is electric and has a small combustion engine to generate the electricity.

You are not the only without authorization 😅. Gemera is a four seater (so the largest one) two door car with option of a 3 cylinder or an 8 cylinder engine with the newly developed transmission which can be used with a stick shift manually, by paddle shifters or in a completely automatic mode. The manual uses just 6 different ratios (if not wrong) the paddle and auto has 9 gears. All the gears are connected all the time so it is even faster than the double clutch transmission.

The Swedish Company Autolliv is the worlds largest auto safety producer. Almost 50% of all cars in the world have their systems.

Koenigsegg made a lot of testing at the NEVS (National Electric Vehicle Sweden, former Saab Automobile) Technical Development Center in Trollhattan Sweden.

Check out the genera. 4 seater 4 wheel drive. Koeniggaegg developed electric motor 800 bhp plus a v8 total power 2300 bhp. Space for luggage. Makes me proud to be swede and alenener

As a Swede I am very proud to have Koenigsegg in my country

I did construction for Koenigsegg 2021, during the development of Jesko/Gemera - and i got too see those crashtest cars come in after the tests. Wierd feeling knowing that's 3-5mill thrown in the bin LOL

18:32 One of Koenigseggs engines is a 3-cylinder hybrid.

Jp Performance hat 3 Videos on the Koenigsegg factory with a load of technical details, much of itnin English, some in german. Definitely worth a watch

You should have a closer look at the Gemera. It's actually their biggest car and seats 4! :)

its like they built the new KITT :D that was also indestructible.

Gemera (Swedish ”ge mera”, meaning ”give more”, put together to one word), is pronounced like ”yemera”. When one of the vowels eiyäö follows a g, the g is pronounced like the y in ”yet”. Otherwise it's pronounced like the g in ”good” and ”garden”. There's also a third pronunciation of the letter g in some French loan words like ”geni”, ”genre” and ”ingenjör”. In those cases the g is pronounced closer to the French pronunciation. There are of course exceptions to these rules, ”agera” being one of them. The pronunciation of the g in ”agera” is the same as the g in ”good”, which it shouldn't be according to the rules.

the gemera has a great american feature, 4 cupholders with heating and cooling

I know that Koenigsegg and Buggati have been neck on neck for the fastest car in the world for years. I do not how it is now but I found "The fastest car in the world is: Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (330 MPH) That title goes to the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which recorded a staggering 330 mph top speed earlier in 2023." That is pretty fast.

you gotta checkout the doors specifically ... its an engineering marvel how they work. they move outwards while rotating upwards. You also gotta do a video just on the gemera...

i first saw the koenigsegg in the 2012 nfs most wanted remake...the agera rs..love at first sight

You've only scratched the surface :). Would highly recommend check out the cars in the way KristoferOlsson lined them up below. Maybe move Regera after Agera. The JWW channel have done some amazing interviews on all of them.

Hi They are a proper multi world record company speedwise. They have made so many industry firsts. 0 - 400 km/h - 0 Fullt homologated car for all markets. Tons of patents... All cars are street legal
