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.

He would be proud to show off Koenigsegg's latest work, and it sure is impressive stuff. Also, it doesn't really make sense to be desperate getting people to buy Koenigseggs because there are only so many who can actually afford them, lol.

They tried to do that once, they were making a car for the GT1 class, and when the car was essentially completed the FIA change the GT1 rulebook that made the car ineligible to race, carbon monocoque is banned from use and how many car needed to be produced went from 20 to 250 or something like that, which made it impossible for Koenigsegg to race because they can't make that many cars back then

It's incredible that Koenigsegg could even compete with the likes of Bugatti & manufacturers with insanely large budgets...such an inspiration...me personally...I prefer Bugatti but I still respect what the Eggs are doing

I fitted my car with an automated brake. It was so boring before, but now, being constantly faced with sudden, harsh braking, it's awesome. Really feels great. I'll get a sight reducer next, leaving only small slits to see through. It's gonna be awesome fun!

if you are satisfied with pushing a lever from here to there - or pulling a paddle - good for you. But it's Kindergarten, really.

@rahulmandala4930 17 дней назад

@@alexluke84 Sure, Bugatti does touch up on the overall attention to the detail to the Nth level, however, I'd say Koenigsegg with their blend of innovative nature as well as refinement and overall materials is another unparalleled beast of its own league. They both have their unique attributes that make them what they are in their respective segments.

Bugatti impresses with inherited wealth and prestige, akin to a successful nepo kid. In contrast, Koenigsegg is like a genius artist, creating groundbreaking innovations from scratch.

The CC8 series of cars has been my favorite car design. So simple, but so elegant. Pairing it with modern tech is just amazing and having a greater that 1:1 bhp:kg ratio is just mental. My goal in life is to drive a CC8 of some kind before I pass.
