The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I start investing my cash in other to achieve all my dream with the help of Lucy Mary Liam.
CvK is a true inspiration! I’m so thankful I was able to meet him in California a year ago and have a quick chat with him about my go kart build. Not too many car companies where the CEO is so in tune with the design and engineering that he can tell you exactly why a certain bolt or material is used in a particular area of the car. Thank you Christian for showing others it is possible if you work hard!
I found this very inspirational. I've always wanted to start a car company from when I was young. I'd love to design cars from the ground up and see how they perform. I want to make a car company that is full on electrification, affordable for everyone, and even fun to drive. I want to be sure that everyone has an car that is environmentally friendly, safe, and even fun to drive! That is my dream as of now. I'd also love to take my dream even further with a ultra luxury electric car brand as well.
Hallo, I hope you feel good! My name is Michael and I also have this Vision in my mind! I already started slow. My Idea is to create a new car brand for the future ( of course electric! ) Its a very interesting area I think! Maybe, if you would like we can work together and create the ultimate car brand in the future. Best regards, Michael
2 tips if you ever start a car company: Cut the costs somewhere such as keys headlights and rims Tune cheap cars or use engines of other cars(stock or tuned) Once you earnd enough money start making your own engines
Everyone’s on here in the comments wanting to have their own company but don’t forget Christian went through a lot of heartache and it took years to even come up with a prototype. Not to mention his dad was a business man and so was Christian and he took another path while this dream was on the back burner, so with that said I’m not saying don’t go for your dream but just keep those things in mind when you come across the roadblocks. If you want it bad enough, you’ll have it. Just look at Christian, he did whatever it took and had what it takes to be at his level, he’s a great example of how passion and determination can get you anywhere, look at Enzo and ferrucio, those guys had relatively humble beginnings, and see where they are today and the legacy they left behind
People tell me it’s impossible to start a car company Even if I did I would never be up there with Toyota or Ford sales But after seeing this I got more inspired. I will have a car company and nothing will stop me
No new car company can really compete with the Detroit three or Toyota, they've got it all set out and a cemented customer base. But- you can find a niche in the car industry which is good for new companies!
My dream as a supercar manufacturer has always been and always will be my dream until I become it. Koenigsegg you are an inspiration and thank you. Hopefully my car company will become worldwide and if it becomes i owe you one!
1: Get as much money as possible (10 million USD and up) 2: Design a Prototype 3: make a kickstarter/crowdfunding/crowdinvesting campaign 4:more money 5:spend money 6:things go wrong 7:no more money left 8: go bankrupt this is the fade of 90% of people who attempt it.
Hey, do you guys still have the raw clip of the One:1 attempting the Spa attempt before getting Red flagged after sector 1? The same clip that was in The Story of The Hypercar? The camera angles were amazing then but the onboard HD footage was on point too. Would appreciate if you guys uploaded that onboard footage :)
What I like about koenigsegg AB automotive it doesn't copy like other brands they have their own stuff like free valve,mouted air wing,one to one program 1360 hp =1360kg,nd their newest brakes on the jesko 300 nd their regera active wing thats efficiently better than the veyron s wing not that it's good
@@zerbutterftw there no more higher rate than this lol all sold out , some of the car worth 10million $, most prestige and rare brand , what hell is there anymore? Aliens? Lol
All I want to do is start producing simple and cheap cars, looking something like the 90s vw vento or the 80s volvo 740. Biggest engine would be something like a 2L inline 4 down to 1.4, maby 1.0 in smaller vento models... as little electronics as possible, but still with fuel injection, yeah you get the drill

Thanks Christian, for sharing your dream. I also started a company from nothing and yes, rock bottom days do make you stronger keeping your head clear, focused and held high. My wife and I now sold our company to employees and they are doing excellent as well. Now my bucket list is to come to Angelholm to see the factory now that I have the time. I love your cars and the technology that you share with the auto industry as they all look to you now for innovative and creative thinking, an inspiration to the industry. You are a class act Christian! Thank you!
@Nagi Sa Our company is called Gerritsen Drilling. gerritsendrilling.com. The new owners are doing excellent and continue to build the company and reputation.
Do you have any tips on how to start one , if so I would really appreciate it as I want to do something to make my mother proud who recently passed away 4 months ago
Agreed! A Living Legend! Additionally, it's not just about Loving The Koenigsegg Brand, it is Also About What They Represent, Ultimately, FAMILY!!!! A Small Family Business!!! Inspiration for what can be accomplished with the Fortitude of Mega-Hustle
I want to start a similar Hypercar Company like Koenigsegg, Because i always have a Dream of creating Indias first Supercar brand.. Known for Speed, Reliability, Affordability, Luxury... I currently have a usable capital to start it up, but the main thing is i dont have a team , and i dont know how can i get a well skilled team ....
It's kinda cool that the 2 cars behind him : #135 Agera RS 1MW "Valhall" and #137 Agera RS 1MW "Draken" are owned by Jeffrey Cheng and Dan Kang. Both cars are kept in a giant mancave in LA along with several other Koenigseggs owned by them and others. That place is nuts : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KyupARBzna8.html
Time.+ focas + effort = getting there!! Ok I’ll keep going!! Anyone want a honeybee nest box!!?? Not a sports car. But a dream. A dream to do more to help than just sit on the sidelines!! Bees for bees sake!! Helping bees by simply giving them a home. A safe place to nest. Anywhere!!
extremely inspiring. I have big aspirations and dreams for the future together with someone to do something in a similar direction, this video was very nice to watch :)
I'm 22 years old and also I'm really interested in starting my own car manufacturing company because I love cars and I have a vision that I want to prove to myself and to show my parents that I can do this, I've been inspired as a kid and it pushed me to want to make my vision a reality, Thank you 👍👍
Im a girl I'm 19 years old and i wanna start my own car company i wanna know how do u get your car company place built do u have to like buy somewhere so u can build your car company place i dont understand how do they build there car company wherehouse
And one big thing is first customer, that first customer is the real push to start doing this sort of thing, because that first customer sees potential in that car company
Thats the incredibly hard part. Building cars is one thing, homologating them for road use is a much bigger headache. I am building my dream V12 supercar one off 👍
Sir how much money you required to built a multi billion dollars company as i am the person with same mindset as yours but belong to a middle class family with not much funding
My dream is to bring back huge muscle cars, but, as electric cars, you know the big american muscle of the late 50's to mid 70's? Yea, thats the design im going with, and i want it to happen by the end of the 2020's
Your my inspiration my man. I am more inspired by people with small to medium companies than large industrials like Toyota. If you can manage to produce something of quality and value to other people its an achievement. It does not matter how many units you produce. There is more to go around for all of us than being obsessed and reliant on few manufacturers.
@@UKBUILTI had an idea for car designs that was to integrate a mini screen on the car logo to put a dynamic animation 🤔 or even adding holograms would be original and futuristic 😮
Same With Me The Nermal Motor Company More Expensive And Luxurious Than A Rolls Royce Because For American 🇺🇸 Luxury Brands Compete Against British Luxury Brands American 🇺🇸 Vs British Competition
Can I pleas have jobs in the industry in one part you think I would be good at this go for any also I’m RU-vidr that writer and song writer soon and out coming more as I keep trying learn more
Thank you man. Koenigsegg is a great car company, even though I cannot afford one at the moment. I want to start a muscle car company. Big block v8s are kinda my style. Hypercars are great, but the muscle car.
didn't explain goddeam thing. Where do I start ? From connections ? From collecting investments ? I mean i can't just go to a garage and start building like I'm making it from wood or something
Role model :) I want to start my own car 🚗 company to ! But does anyone here know how ?? The video is motivation and it’s but I don’t know 🤷♂️ how ? I guest take a loan then get a factory? Then what ?
Mi, Amor First you need a name, this is the most important part, it needs to role off the tong, second get legal stuff sorted p, third by a really bad shape warehouse as it will be cheap and you can just start designing cars and then start reaching out and putting them in movies
