Christian von Koenigsegg is a glutton for engineering punishment. His Swedish hypercar company currently builds the Jesko (which has just set the 0-400km/h-0 record) and it’ll soon start delivering the new CC850 and Gemera to customers. That’s three distinct models, each with their own head-scratchingly complex innovations.
And yet, amongst all this, he said “yes” to a request from a customer who wanted their older-model Agera RS melded with the best bits of a Jesko and CC850 to create an absolute one-off.
Many engineering headaches later we have this, the Chimera, which blends an Agera RS with the 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine from a Jesko and the fiendishly complex manual-cum-automatic gearbox from the CC850.
Over to Top Gear Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, who’s been to Sweden to drive this unique Koenigsegg…

Ferrari and Lamborghini have been around forever so naturally they should get more praise. Bugatti got picked up by normies because when the Veyron came out it was the most expensive car in the world, the fastest, a truly incredible car and had lots of marketing. Those factors lead to it being idealized in non car culture 'i woke up in a new Bugatti' comes to mind. Ask any car guy about Koenigsegg and they will tell you they love them. Also if Koenigsegg was as popular as Bugatti i don't think you would like them as much.

1:33 Oh cool!!! I absolutely LOVE and respect that they've done that. Yeah, yeah, I know, manual / stick isn't as quick as crummy paddles, but it's always been more engaging, involved, and enjoyable to drive. It really is awesome that more car makers are doing that again 🙂😊 Wonderful video. Seemed like a heck of a vibe in Christian's company. Nice one.

No other car company like Koenigsegg, so much innovation, a (not so anymore) small company making almost everything inhouse was unheard of before Christian came to the scene. Shame I won't own one of these glorious machines.

I've never heard the jesko at crusing speeds before, the drive by clip of the chimera sounds beautiful. Crazy how such a powerful, utterly feral engine can also be so tame and relaxed sounding.
