- Koenigsegg’s CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg and Head of Design, Sasha Selipanov met with Polestar’s CEO Thomas Ingenlath and Head of Design Maximilian Missoni to talk about what it is they do to break the mould and what inspires them. Speaking next to the all-new Koenigsegg Gemera and Polestar Precept, the two parties also delved into the stylistics of each brand and what they believe defines the Scandinavian automotive design sentiment.

everyone in black, simple clothes. And christian is just chilling in his hawaii shirt
😎😎😎
well its his style in business
That Meshuggah shirt though \m/
Xevious I was just about to mention that lol
In general both the koeningseg boys are more casual tbh
I can just watch Christian talk about cars for hours without getting bored.
And this video is awesome. Just 4 car nerds in their natural habitat, chatting about their cars.
He is amazing to listen to. I love that he gives credit to all that work with him. And his admiration for people in life.
not nerds....they are car enthusiasts
@@kutlachakela yes nerds
@@TheRSAngle Better still, Car Visionaries! They innovate car technology in their own ways, Like the Koenigsegg Gemera's 3 cylinder engine innovation and design and the Polestar 3's tech and design. Different Minds and Paths, Same Country and Passion for Cars.
The best is inside koeinegsegg series on the drive
Nice to hear two ceo's and two designers discuss about their engineering marvel 👌
That bald engineering Einstein is too modest❤
This is why i love koenigsegg,
Christian is a kind of guy,
The badass CEO, rather than corperate 'professionals' like bugatti..😊❤😇
@amarjit singh look at sasha.. how happy and incredible he is with koenigsegg😏
@@fazilmuhammed5410 he was happy with Bugatti too😑
@@fazilmuhammed5410 he was with Bugatti as long as his contract lasted and he was happy during that period of time
I mean I like and appreciate Bugatti as much as Koenigsegg they both have that over the hypercar limit feel to their cars, gotta say though Christian is way better of a CEO than Bugattis. Still you can't just say their CEO is shit he brought the Veyron and Chiron to life!
@@MOTORDRIFT Is that why he left. 🤔
My man Sasha wearing a Meshuggah shirt. What a legend
It makes total sense to me! Meshuggah reshapes the music, as koenigsegg does.
I was searching for this commenti😎
andres santander that and they’re also Swedish
I love how Christian calls his company small boys.. This "small company" holds many records...
Well when it comes to profits made over the entire companies life ....
It is for the most part a small company, but their cars are insane
World record boys
In a few short years Koenigsegg shown the big guys that they're not so big and scary. Koenigsegg cars are the fastest production cars on the planet. Even Bugatti has trouble keeping up.
@@savagepete8258 How does bugatti have trouble keeping up? All bugatti cars are so much more stable and refined compared to koenigsegg, even being hella more heavy
I'm not gonna lie though, I'd love to have Christian von Koenigsegg as my school teacher.
Can you imagine? Nothing but a pipe dream but still... that would be awesome.
I want him to me my dad! 😆
EVERYONE WILL WANT HIM AS OUR TEACHER.
I'd never miss that class.
That Meshuggah shirt makes me so damn happy. Two of the best things to come out of Sweden in one video
still waiting for that ''hold my beer'' record
@amarjit singh shut up....u just every where replying to others people comment.....u just some bugatti crybaby fans
@@alifsyafiq4611 he's correct though. Jesko production doesn't start till 2021. Then they'll have to find a customer who's willing to let them use their car for the record attempt. And then they'll have to find a secure venue. And then they'll need to find a driver who's brave enough. I'd say 2 years is a realistic target.
@@parimalkakde7714 they dont need to use a costumer car since they are building several "prototype"/test cars. There already exists atleast 2 prototypes
@@linushellzen9464 But the car need to be in production to validate the record of the fastest production car.
@@DaVoKanfr yes, but the car, while it needs to be identical to a customer car, doesn’t need to be a customer car
"you don't need 100 years of experience" - absolutely agree, too often 100 years of experience is actually just 10 years of experience that is 90 years old 😌
Truest TH-cam comment I've ever read
@@NuclearSpinach I 100% agree
Wise man
Sasha Selipanov: Yo Christian are we badass or what?
Christian von Koenigsegg: 0:54
@TyRaNno yes. His team did exterior for Chiron
@TyRaNno Vodka Power
That's Gemera sitting there's look like a piece of art
Both of them are 2 working art pieces.
Gemera is for the thrill
Polestar is for the chill
Polestar looks better imo.
@@nik7bkh965 Lol polestar looks like a fake toy, also the production of it is crazy cheap. Plastics don't fit perfect and fall of 😂
@@sageen At least it doesn't crash in a Nürburgring lap because of failing electronics ;)
So refreshing to see people at the top of their game. Yet. Still so humble.
Swedish People 👌

Christian von Koenigsegg: "Now we do this for real" 😏🇸🇪🏁😎
Dang, I didn't know I liked the word "Scandinavian Minimalism" that much.
What a mood, mate. What, a, mood.
i probably will never own a koenigsegg
but i will 3d model the jesko and put it in my game when a top speed run happens so i can experience it myself
3D print it 👍
3D printed Czinger car :) look it up. It’s awesome
I have a couple 3D printers. I love the hobby
Never say never bro. Things change. Life can bring you anything. Don't mean to preach but you never know. A little faith goes a long way. I wish you do get to own one someday enshallah.
I like the way how chilled out they all are.
Yeah, it's like 2020 never happened and there's no virus lurking around waiting to catch the careless.
Was hoping for a Koenigsegg/Polestar car.
Drawn by Koenigsegg, priced like a Polestar 2.
That’s not gonna happen lmaooo
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 that would ABSOLUTELY change the world!!!!!
something like "designed by pininfarina" but with koenigsegg and produced by polestar
Koenigsegg is the last real innovator in ICEs and Polestar seems committed to go all-electric.
Koenigsegg will always have its unique design language but in 10 year or so, the batteries may be so good that even hybrids lose their edge. You can't source better cells for a €2 million Koenigsegg for long distance all-electric driving than are in a €50K Tesla. And those same cells would be at home in a city car of €20K no problem.
Batteries are quite basic things but to get extra energy density takes billions in R&D. Even if production cost doesn't matter.
Rimac is making BEVs around the world "boring". In that they just work really well. Hyundai/Kia, apparently a lot of Rimac in there. And they're on top of the affordable drivetrain tech.
Rimac's own cars are focusing more on power density and barely melting away. Their numbers will never be needed in mass production. Power density is not the hardest thing to achieve. A workable track / race car that's not 2 tons, that the hard part.
Still, with swappable batteries electric race cars could be quite amazing already today. It's coming to the point where adding a gas powered range extender is not really worth it anymore. We're not there yet, Gemera looks to be the ultimate hybrid for a number of years to come. When batteries get their next real boost in energy density though, hybrids soon will seem too complex and bulky.
A Polestar 2 would double energy density, would drive 1000 km easily. More than needed. So, you reduce the battery by 200 kg to find performance and still have 600 km. Such a drivetrain would be amazing in a 911-like car already. No added weight at all. To go endurance racing with it, all you need to do is upgrade the now physically smaller battery to be swappable. Faster battery swap than refueling.
When batteries then improve even more, BEVs will just be lighter than ICEs. Like removing most of the 700 kg battery from a Tesla Model S, making it lighter than similar BMWs and Audis.
I'll miss cars like Regera and Gemera but there will be a lot of development in pure electric cars still.
@Shaxx bruh that is so underrated, hilarious 😆
The most Swedish thing in all of 2020!
Koenigsegg's Head of Design is a metalhead? Now I love the brand even more!
i was looking for this comment! Respect to that guy for wearing whant he wants, \m/
I frickin Love how chill and "normal" Christian is. I really hope to work in Koenigsegg's design team one day.
0:55 "only 70 km/h" 😁 Love Christian! 🏁🇸🇪🤩
I know that stretch of road, is a backroad in Ängeltofta (literally just outside the back exit of the Ängelholm Airport / Koenigsegg test strip). The "70km/h joke" is funny since all countryside roads here in Sweden are technically 70km/h roads, practically everyone drive like they are Group B drivers 🤣
What a great meeting ,honestly though
This is what I like about Mr Koenigsegg. He comes through as a simple guy who’s super in love about cars and carrying out crazy ideas. Not a corporate profit-only CEO, but a passionate one. I’m not able to be your client Mr Koenigsegg, but I’m your fan.
This is great, two manufacturers that can talk together, even though their competitors. Not like the others that trying to one up the other one, its really nice to see! 😁👍💯🔥
Avengers Endgame: The greatest crossover in history
Koenigsegg and Polester: Hold our seatbelts
Hold our doors is fitting in my opinion
Just saying
Rich genius guys meeting together. What a great conversation
I very much doubt Christian is rich. He puts everything into his cars. I doubt he makes much from each car and they aren’t exactly high volume
@@stevenjalopnik1342 christian has a net worth of $100 million
snuskbyggaren net worth isn’t a great show of actual wealth. Elon muck has a net worth of a few billion but comparatively he is not that wealthy. All his networth is the stock value of his business
You lack vision, vision makes you rich. Look at Christian's history, he came from basically nothing, and even lost his factory once. Man may be rich, but he built those riches and he is humble as fuck. You stay mad, that's fine, the rest of us will support a visionary with a kind soul who designs the most beautiful and powerful 4 wheeled objects ever.
@@Yesthatsmyfirstname Christian didn't come from nothing. His last name is from nobility, traceable all the way back to 1171, and his father is the CEO of a powerplant company.
Furthermore, vision in and of itself doesn't make you rich. You also need luck, money, connections, and skill.
Christian is my idol😍😍😍😍😍
So is mine
3D Knitting!? The sound of itself is already very premium
It's basically sneaker shoe fabric.
Meshuggah is an awesome band. Been listening to them for over twenty years now.🤘 BTW, the cars are right on point.😉👍
Loved the mention from the Polestar guys of being able to work together and implicitly understand each other. I'm lucky to have experienced this also, with a former colleague on a large project. It was a real privilege.
Christian can talk about cars and components geometries all day long .... And I can listen all day long.
1 because I love cars
2 a passionate speaker is giving details about it .
🙌 CVK
really cool, thanks guys! and fingers crossed for next productions :) I'd love to see more family oriented cars from Koenigsegg, as they decided to finally stop bragging around who is the fastest. You've made your point - no corporation would beat you in that!
Love the design chat, so cool to hear them share their passion. Super cool 🙌🏻
Man it's passion not money that drives these men
2 Swedish Masterpieces!! ✌️. Much love to Koenigsegg and Polestar ❤️
”Its in Sweden where things happen”
Man, I am so proud to be Swedish right now.

DISHAL KANGALEEA PEWDS FANS OVER HERE!!
So, what have you done to be proud of these cars, except being born on the same side of the border? Don't see that many Swedes in this video btw. It's a global world so, in that sense, you have a lot to be proud of.

Christian, your message resonates with me and so many! Was awesome meeting you in Monterey last year, hope to see you again. Cheers to more amazing cars, memories, and successes!
Quote “I only design the car I want” that will most definitely help the successfulness of the company
If Koenigsegg and Polestar collaborate, what kind of car would the create?
Koenigstar?
a 450 kph family car with sweet and beautiful lines. Perfect.

@@Nono-dk5hl Koenigsegg already Made one
Honest car enthusiasts chatting about the passion, the challenges and the future of the "little guys" of car manufacturing. It's inspirational and motivational with great beautiful cars. Best TH-cam video of the day.
I'm a simple man, i see a Meshuggah T-shirt, i press like.
Sasha and his team have made an amazing job with the Gemera, demonstrating how valuable good design can be for a brand. So many points earned with this car.
So amazing. It feels so good for a enthusiast to see brilliant minds sharing thoughts on their creations. So motivating and blissful. Thank you.
I just love the Sweden cars
I can’t believe you didn’t let us hear what the Gemera sounds like, that’s cold
I love that smile from Sasha "The angry car designer" in the car :)
AMAZING that he joined Koenigsegg family! Can't wait to see what comes out from their collaborations ahead.
I really enjoyed watching this video its amazing to see the passionate people talking and having fun I can watch the talk about cars for hours I talked to Christian at cars and copters 2018 it was incredible very kind and this is exactly why I love Koenigsegg
What makes me happy is NOT ONLY koeniggsegg is a car-enthusiast's organization, BUT ALSO christian himself is such a clean transparent car guy. Wish i can own one someday 🏁❤
I love Koenigsegg view on life, his product and respect for others. Seems like a good dude
I met Sasha a couple years back in Pasadena CA. He was speaking at the design school. Great to see him moving on👍🏼
This video brings a tear to my eyes in all the right ways
People: the best crossover in history is endgame
me:
Passionate,humble,successful,hardworking,optimist people with positive energy.....
All in one video.
Marvel: Avenger Endgame is the most ambitious crossover of all times
Sweden: Hold my badass CEOs
What i love about this is that the volvo guys look all corporate and sharp while Chris looks like a cool dad and Sasha looks like a friend you meet at a bar or club
Best collaboration ever
These concepts are outstanding! The future in automotive engineering is happening now...dreams come true in ideas, from great people! Cheers!
I swear on mother earth i could watch these to company unravel and talk all day. I'm am proudly South African. Like other countries, we are known for purchasing and importing most of out vehicles. I have watched probably since i was 5. I have felt that they is a space for countries like mine to revolutionize the vehicle industry. I am know 17 and this video has once again inspired me to start my own car company in South Africa with new technology and my own designs. Love these to companies alot and hope to persue my dream of starting the first proper luxury and unique vehicle company in South Africa.
Christian is my absolute Idol. Thanks for opening my/our eyes! 🖤
Great video, 2 conpany different perspectives but made sickest cars.. It amaze me how cool they we're talking about cars and how they promote their cars in casual talking
Both cars are stunningly beautiful in there own way.
Love the video .. Such Conversations are fantastic to watch
Great final words, absolutely love what you guys are doing👌
I love how they are just sitting a just talking
This guy Christian is such an inspiration. I can listen to him speaking about cars for hours and hours. He has passion in every sentence he talks about cars. This is what makes great companies.
And lots of good luck to Polestar's Thomas and Max for taking a risk in a time where everyone is coming up with fancy cars with fancy techs.
Ok I like the trend, next one up - Mate Rimac or Elon himself? I would love to hear the smart guys talk, preferably more in-depth on technology and engineering
Amazing, this is the future
Having finally met him at Monterey last year, i got absolute confirmation of how much of a genuine gentleman Christian is! Absolute rock star!
This is an inspiring discussion and it is refreshing to see two pioneers of innovation supporting each other instead of fighting. Love you guys
Historical meeting this..👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
the title made me break the chirons top speed record beacuse of how fast i clicked
There hasn't been a record set by a Chrion yet so your comment makes zero sense. People really need to learn the difference between a prototype car and production car.
@@antilagboostaddiction8322 yeah!
@AntiLag BoostAddiction He probably knows the Chiron 300+ isn’t a production car yet he was just making a joke.
The fact that they are mature enough to be inspired by each other instead of fearing the competition speaks volumes about how people should behave. Role models to follow.
Lmao they aren't even close to being competitors though
It's always a pleasure to see and hear Christian von koinegsseg
You can see the admiration they have for each other by the attention they pay when someone is speaking. So refreshing on today’s world. For me to be successful, you don’t have to fail. We can be successful together.
Two of my favorite companies together? 2020 ain’t too bad
I hate electric cars “yes I’m one of those”😂 but wow you guys at polestar nailed the design. It fixes everything with modern car design. Simply. Beautiful. Well done!
Its so humbling to see them sit together, i would be star struck seeing Christian in real life. Passionate car people
Incredible looking machines and the Geniuses behind it!!
These guys are changing the car game. They design elegant products. Well done🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wonderful! Thanks.
Who feels like christian could look like thanos ??
Btw cool video.
Love to see all of you sitting together. ❤❤
I can see for sure that Koenigsegg will be dominating the whole hypercar market... Christian von Koenigsegg is the man! I've never seen a guy so passionate about cars and engineering. Just brings a smile on my face tbh 🙂
Svensk industri är fantastiskt. Så många fina produkter och tjänster som kommer från detta lilla land. 💪🏾🇸🇪
Great camera works !!
2 of the best Swedish companies in one parking lot.
Swedish style👍🏻
thank you for sharing your discussion with us... :) see you next year in Geneva!
They should start making podcasts they will truly be amazing
Love this collaboration. Cool cars, cool design, cool manufacture n cool people behind them.

Christian and Thomas : *Hold my swedish beer*
Christian Von Koenigsegg is an amazing entrepreneur , it was love at first sight when i saw the cc8s on top gear for the first time. As a mechanical engineering student it would be a dream working for them one day, i just love the company's philosophy
I like how they're not in some fancy office & just sitting outside chatting...it showcases the genuine passion for cars
I love both of these companies. I think that they even did this video is incredible
You guys rock. Awesome cars, awesome history, awesome CEOs and designers, awesome Sweden.
homeboy with the meshuggah shirt and christian with the hawaii style shirt.. so much epicness
Hands down your cars are always badass!! Love the sound of your engines and sleek look of your designs. Tesla has lots of work to do. 👊🏽😎
No punches, no hate, no competition. Just 4 dudes talking about cars. Excellent!
