Bugatti- DONT LOOK IN HERE THIS CAR IS A SECRET Koenigsegg- Here’s how you build a jesko

@bzdtemp 5 лет назад

Yes. I really like how open and friendly Königsegg are about how they do things, videos like this and for example the ones where Christian explains and shows their free-avalve tech, how they did the Regera hybrid "clutch" and more. I know that unless there is a substantial lotto winning in my future I'm unlikely to ever own a Königsegg, but getting to learn about them is very cool.

@ShadowRomeo1784 5 лет назад

Koenigsegg has been doing this since the start i guess. I mean just watch Drive series about Agera's production. And also Koenigsegg has the How to made series episode as well. But so does Bugatti with their Veyron though.

"Good for him" - Christian von Koenigsegg on John Hennessey

@ueehurstonsecurity8887 4 года назад

side by side ide say Hennessy is an engine manufacturer in comparison to christian being a car maker. hennesys cars never perform very well on track compared to Christians cars. compared to standard road cars sure Hennessys cars are in another league and will douse any commuter street car on a circut. but pitted up against a agera RS or 1:one he makes the venom and his new f5 or whatever its called look like a glorified drag car. Edit: this is my opinion btw so i hope im wrong and Hennessy really makes an incredible car this time, the Venom GT was a little underwhelming

Very pleased with the continued quality of Top Gear as a show. Phenomenal production values here. The opening story about how to arrive to the factory was awesome. If I hadn’t known a little bit about Koenigsegg from past RU-vid videos then, I would have thought the opening was a bit of humour. (:

I had the privilege of photographing a CCXR at a dearler here in Sydney about 8 years ago, and regardless of the price, every cent would have been worth it. What this film only barely covers is the beautiful detail at the fine level were you interact with the car. The cabin is an exquisite place to be, not only is the carbon done perfectly, the leathers and fabric are so well put together, that I totally understand Christian's comment re 'we're profittable, but not massively so'. That level of attention to detail take time and skill, all of which should rightly so be paid for.

I like how he said it'd run on E85 aswell as petrol. E85 is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline and is classed as a more enviromentally friendly fuel. Added bonus is less taxes :)

@phantomechelon3628 4 года назад

Thanks for confirming! Thought I was going mad for a while there. Viggen has forward canards - similar to the Typhoon, doesn't it?

@sixstringedthing 4 года назад

@@phantomechelon3628 Yup. The Viggen has a very distinctive double-delta wing with fixed canards that are quite large compared to the Typhoon and other canard designs. On the Viggen they're fitted with takeoff/landing flaps and are basically there to add lift and improve aerodynamic performance of the main wing. The smaller downward-angled canards on the Typhoon are articulated and act as pitch control surfaces along with the elevons.

@MDDeGrande1994 4 года назад

Hell, even their FIRST production car (the CC8S) already went almost 400 km/h (384, to be more precise), on a highway in Texas in the early 2000s, I think. And it's still the highest speed that's even been reached on the highway. How IMPRESSIVE is that?
