Koenigsegg just keeps getting better and better! We've updated the Evolution of Koenigsegg, and it's sure to get your heart racing. Check it out here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fe3Ona4wNaM.html
for me cars like that are same like red bull in f1 buy all parts and put em together :D the question is when you get to garage how you will reppear your car
It also makes it hard to call them "production cars" though. I would actually expect nothing less than ultra high performance with purpose-built cars, especially built in small numbers.
I have a great deal of respect for Christian Koenigsegg and what he's been able to accomplish. He's a legit automotive visionary, with the mental fortitude to bring his visions into reality. All in an industry dominated by large and long entrenched car manufacturers with comparably infinite resources behind them. He's the real deal.
On a holiday to Sweden, I actually met Mr Christian. What a humble and lovely person to be around, honestly you can forget that he's the owner of the BEST HYPERCAR COMPANY IN THE WORLD!
Stig crashed the CCX when it first went on top gear saying there wasn’t enough down force and it needed a wing on the back then it came back with a wing a while after and smashed the lap record
A friend of mine had dinner with two guys that worked at Koenigsegg at the time when Stig crashed. They said that they had to rush a car straight of the assembly line down to England if they wanted to be on that season of Top Gear. They had no time to dial the car in (suspension, breaks etc). After the crash they tried to convince Top Gear to let them come back with a finished car, but Top Gear made them put that useless little wing on so they could take credit. This is all hearsay of course, but it sounds legit when you look at that little cosmetic wing 😁.
@@dsjoakim35 I would like to believe that story, but all of the models after the CCX were built with a wing on them stock, so I still think there is some truth to the Top Gear side of the story.
@@dsjoakim35 the wing wasn’t just cosmetic and top gear were half joking about it being their idea mate KVK said himself that it was always needed they just didn’t have time to fit and test it before they had to send the CCX to top gear
@@dsjoakim35 also everybody at the company has to sign a confidentiality agreement so are not meant to say anything about what happens at the factory unless it’s been cleared first mate
"one of the highest power to weight cars" you never mentioned that the One:1 has it's name literally because it has 1HP per 1KG of weight. 1360Hp and weighs 1360KG
@@Flatlife om and im just wain you can take as long as you like so it's the best animations on RU-vid and thank you for creating them I really love them there in my top 3 risk of videos to watch if I'm bored of anything on RU-vid there really grate (all so I'm 12 and I'm not a grown man that is a picture of my father.I'm a boy)
Back in 2003 there was a fire that happened at the Koenigsegg Factory. In Margretetorp. The staff managed to save the cars and equipment. The company records however were lost.
I think that his free valve system is one of the most innovative advancements to the ICE in a very long time. Really smart and down to earth kind of guy from what I've heard about him.
I remember seeing the first koenigsegg in a magazine when I was 10 and now he's building some on the most amazing hypercars next to bugatti, mclaren, ferrari, Pagani and Lamborghini. Didn't take him long to get up to speed.
Yay! Another video and about the evolution of my favourite car company, amazing quality and subtitles as always! You deserve much more recognition than you have today.
FUN FACT: The One:1 is named that because it has a perfect 1:1 power to weight ratio, meaning it has the exact same amount of power as it weighs. Pretty interesting
@@pavlins123 nobody is saying that's the perfect number obviously anything above that is good but perfect as in a 1341hp to 1341kg. Not perfect as in the best ever. The jesko has about a 1.2 actually.
Fortunately, I had the opportunity to visit the koenigsegg factory in Sweden and I do not regret it because the opportunity to see live specific cars that broke records on the tracks and naked engines with huge powers.
At this point, Koenigsegg, McLaren and Bugatti are not really making just cars for rich people and sports, it's research, science, aerodynamics and engineering testing platforms, kind of like building space equipments helps science and development of new tech. in a few years : «Maybe if we combine this turbine engine powered by hydrogen, we should be able to reach Mach 1.0 on a straight line»
what they're doing too by making so few models is focusing on the research aspect rather than satisfying the market, maybe one day it will be so advanced and so much knowledge will be gathered, transportations like these will be common and accessible to the public, i mean.. 100 years ago any car was exclusive and expensive, and now most people own at least one
I remember reading years ago that a Trevita was found covered in dust and seemingly abandoned in an underground car park. Insane that such a rare and expensive car would be left in such a condition.
@@woodenhoe dont get me wrong, I like bugatti, but I agree. Bugatti is owned by volkswagen as you probably already know, so they basically have an infinite budget. And they've been around forever.
I managed to be one of the people who got to see a jesko absolut, I saw it in Lamborghini of Broward County and it was in the show room right next to a Gemera, a porsche 918 spyder, and a Lamborghini hurrican (it felt like the Lamborghini was a prius compared to all the other cars in the showroom)
I always loved Koenigsegg ever since the prototype came out. Watching that company evolve all these years has been a treat. Thanks Koenigsegg for making a car that fits my taste no othe hypercar does that for me.
Yeah man, even tho I'm too young to have watched the first prototype come to life I still agree with you on everything else, koenigsegg is really one hell of a car, I'm not really a big fan of supercars especially mainstream ones like ferrari and lambo, but koenigsegg really checks everything for me except for the budget lol, neat design, exclusive and super rare, ridiculous power and speed, and I like the way their engines roar. Hopefully sometime in the future I'll be able to put a checkmark on the budget box lol cuz honestly I wouldn't want to buy and hypercar other than koenigsegg if I could afford it
another fun fact. they actually only made 5 one:1. the sixth one was their development car which was pretty much a hot rod version of the Agera R. the One:1 aero, engine, suspension, transmission etc was all present, but it has a rollcage and runs on a strengthened version of the Agera chassis which the other One:1 didn't really do. source: Christian Von Koenigsegg told me in person.
@@sabersz Damn i didn't know that, thanks for letting me know! So glad that finally someone made a video about the cars as a whole btw, it was about time to shine some light on one of the best car brands on the world (I've been following them ever since their debut with the CCX at 2006)
@@godfathergf it was the One:1 that was the reason I'm so into cars now, so I have a lot to thank Koenigsegg for. Their cars are poster on the kids' bedroom wall material!
@@sabersz Same story for me, just in a different period. Though as much as i love Koenigsegg and wish them each day the best, and i am glad that they are successful, one side of me always says that too much publicity is just bad: What i mean is basically there are too many stupid people in the car community, so preserving these gem companies would be the best by not letting everyone know about it
@@godfathergf there's an element of gatekeeping to be had in the community already. It's the difference between a 'car guy' and a 'car enthusiast'. Unfortunately you'll always get stupid people in any community but it's videos like this, where the video is made with the help of Koenigsegg themselves, that will give out real info
Even though he missed the reason for the name "One:1", I still really liked the video, informative and fun to watch. Regardless, I think Christian Von Koenigsegg is a massive inspiration for every dreamer out there.
10:55 Fun Facts: Christian secretly to buy Tesla Model S P85+ in 2013 and was impressed by the car's ability to instantly deliver power without the need for a downshift or to wait for turbo lag. So why Regera had one gear
I remember going to each website and comparing innovations between Koenigsegg and Bugatti; On the Koenigsegg they listed 10+ unique patented innovations including doors, suspension, gearboxes, freevalve etc, on the Bugatti site there was one "innovation"; 3D-printed exhaust covers ... that says a lot about each company. Both brands are amazing in their own way and make the life of gear heads better, the engineers deserve massive respect for the awesome machines they make. As a native Swede i may prefer Koenigsegg but i could never hate a car brand, hate is such a waste of time.
He started with a dream........... and with only 1 billion dollar inheritance from his father managed to turn it into 1.5 billion in 20 years! Inspiring
Bruh, Koenigsegg is so easy to pronounce, but dang near impossible to spell unless you write the world famous name constantly. I think the company literally has dominated as the makers of the world's fastest cars ever since they overtook the Bugatti Veyron.
I’m pretty sure the Jesko series has a biofuel option as well And also, you forgot about the Jesko “Attack” variant If you add the attack variant, just know that it is the low downforce version.
I've been waiting for this forever!!! I can't wait! My dream car is the Agera RS! But I doubt that I will ever have $70,000,000 $1 USD = $6.79 TTD (My Currency) Edit: I'll need $27,852,689.90
The car videos are so good! You should definitely do more of these. The Lamborghini video was probably my favorite video you made because of how much info there is. You should make one for more bigger compnies like ferrari!
1:01 You've been wondering what you've been doing with your life? Were you born into a family with it's own coat of arms? I think most of us only have a coat of arms that we made in 3rd grade! Take it easy, he's just a regular man like you!😉
