“Anything is possible if you really put your heart and mind to it”.
At the annual Presidents Summit, Christian von Koenigsegg gives his take on how to take on a challenge with all odds against you. Like many young men, Christian was fascinated by machinery as a boy and even dreamed about creating his perfect sports car. In stark contrast to the rest of us, however, Christian actually went ahead and turned that dream into reality - at just 22 years of age. But how exactly did a young Swedish guy build a business that got people to buy a supercar from a small, obscure Swedish car manufacturer?
This is Mr. Koenigsegg’s story about drive, resilience, courage, and the joy of the process.

Aren't we all glad this guy is not a super villain.
He reminds me of one too lmao. Like a Lex Lurther type of genius😂😅
@@kvbvl7285 We have one, he's sitting in a building that would become three glass bubbles. And his name is Jeff.
@@Velocitist "My Name Is Jeff"
please welcome ceo and founder of christian koenigsegg
wtf, it would be : please welcome ceo and founder of koenigsegg , christian van koenigsegg!
lol yeah, i noticed that too.
Von xD idiot xD
hahaha
And with that comment do you mean ?????
you got it wrong. she said " ceo and founder, Christian koenigsegg". comma (,) changes whole meaning. such as " let's eat, grandma" and " let's eat grandma". hope you see the difference
that awkward handshake at the end
Anton Kalliokoski technically it was just akward and not a handshake because the hands never touched
@@vika0194 genius
This man is a genius!! Well spoken with an awesome vision and humbleness. I wish him and his company all the success the world has to offer. Well done!!
to me, he is a living legend, him and his car brand have achieved more than any other company ever for many years
I totally agree with you guys!
Christian is a legend, and a real gent.
The way this man thinks and move is just amazing to be honest. Im speechless . He is a superb inventor, entrepreneur and businessman no wonder he succeed. A lot can be learned from him.
You can clearly see that the interviewer gets sensible after Christian says how he did it despite people saying it is impossible.
What a guy.
Can I come wash the floors for you, Christian? I promise I will hard work despite anything. Koenigsegg is the heaven for any real petrolhead.
deejayRZN lol I wouldn’t mind being the guy to clean then or polish them after they were built
@@lamborgatti-4783 I'm sure they have job openings, a few years ago I thought about applying to the position as a paint masker. To simply go and just mask the body panels for paint.
His head is as shiny as his cars.
Legend says that he shaved his head for aerodynamic purposes..
@@elohimmonkoy not funny, it's a health problem he had.
@@elohimmonkoy lol im dying
Christian von koenigsegg: started koenigsegg a prestigious hypercar company which makes some of the fastest cars in the world at the age of 22
Me: 22 years old busting my ass off for studies and broke
AA L that’s only if you come from a rich background family if not then you have to bust your ass ASAP
I would love to see Christian work with Elon on a project
Elon's ego is too big
@Son of Northern Darkness where'd you get that info?
elon aint shit to christian
@anonacc no probably not in case of cars chritian is way ahead he is the biggest car enthusiast
Elon is not humble enough 👍🏻
I first came to know about the man on national geography chanel.... What an inspirational story...A man who had no knowledge in engineering built the most beautiful..and technologically advanced car... Genious man
This need more views! This guy is very inspirational. Respect for him and his company. I hope someday i could have enough money to buy one of his creation.
What’s not like about this gentleman.
The admiration I have for him is beyond description.
legends say when he goes inside a koenigsegg car, his bald head adds an additional 150 lbs of downforce.
But aerodynamic drag is reduced by 300 lb.
Lesson for interviewers: DON'T EXTEND YOUR HAND FULLY TOWARD THE PERSON UNLESS YOU'RE WANTING THEM TO SHAKE YOUR HAND.
Yeah,i saw that. Embarrassing to see that she even saw him reach out and she likelike waved her hand in a no gesture afterwards
1:20. most inspirational thing I've ever heard. he's an inspiration and a genius. I love his attitude :)
Just finished watching the video. what a guy! I'm working hard towards my goals. I hope you are too :)
Where can I get the Elon Musk, Brandson, and Christian von Koenigsegg interview?! I would love to see more Christian von Koenigsegg as well.
You can watch our interview with Sir Richard Branson in short right here: th-cam.com/video/n0K0_icUUOc/w-d-xo.html
The full interviews is only available for our members at: www.presidents.eu
Yessss
@@Presidentsinstitute is there any more Konigsegg interviews?
Oh, so you doubt that Christian von Koenigsegg could make a sports car? Wait 30 years.
*30 years later*
Joke’s on you. Mr. von Koenigsegg has now made the current fastest production car in the world.
20 years
Bugatti is faster
@@ifyoureplytomeyouregay4293 I wrote that before that happened
@@ifyoureplytomeyouregay4293 production Car.. Production car..
@@ifyoureplytomeyouregay4293 jokes on you
jesko took a speed test again and got 330mph top speed
idk if it's correct but alot of people are saying it is

"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere"
The most beautiful and most powerful car on the planet.. We love Swedish people here in the states.
I would say that to build one hyper car is an extrodinary achievement. But to build full production hyper car company from scratch, that is brilliance to some phenomenal level.
I really look up to this guy as an entrepreneur. I really hope to meet him when I buy a koenigsegg one day
I want to buy a koenigsegg, but that's like 4 - 10 million so rip
@@epicm999 Actually, it's a little less. If you order direct from factory, it's around 2 million.
Also, don't give up on your dreams.
@@l04d83 Thank you! I appreciate it. -Now time to grind 2 mil-
Amazing video and interview, thanks for sharing
Just love this guy!
He looks like the type of guy who would build the perfect suit to defeat Superman. This man is a GENIUS!
what a genius
Missed out on a wood floor patent but today you are an automotive god.
man that flooring story is brutal. just goes to show that if you believe, it might be true
Christian, I'm always amazed with your tech ability, I would like to meet you.
How many heads of business willingly, candidly, and PROUDLY speak about their family giving them the support, help, and opportunities to succeed? CvK is probably the only automotive CEO alive today who not only talks about those things, but actively pays homage to those who have helped him over the years and credits the engineers he employs with bringing all his crazy ideas to life. And wouldn't you know it - his legend has not been diminished one bit by his discussion of the help he got from his father or the role his wife has played as COO or the crazy ideas that the senior engineers have come up with over the years. In fact, I'd go so far as to argue that the Koenigsegg family brand - and CvK's status as a mad genius - has only gotten even MORE legendary BECAUSE CvK continually highlights the pivotal roles that everybody around him has played for the past quarter century. He never says "I" unless it was his personal idea that HE manifested himself. It's always "we". And it's a really beautiful thing to see.
very good person and great talent of building super cars love your work from india.
He is an AMAZING man!I will always admire him.Koenigsegg is the best hypercar brand ever for me.
I love this man he makes the impossible possible

This is SUPERMAN Wooohw
Genius
Guardian Motors Inc. inspiration
Mr. Koenigsegg looks like a retired hitman(Agent 47). Kinda getting chubby.
He's more like Daddy Warbucks lol.
Am I the only one who feels that the audio is not synced with the video?
Shame nobody bothered to intercut the images he was talking about.
I'll be sad when he has to leave the company cuss rn the company progress been going really good and my favorite Koegnigsegg is the Regera
Very interesting entrepreneur...
Charles Fossorier and here i am 21 year old watching porn all the time. I gotta step up my game!
this is my best hypercar
CEO and founder of Christian Von Koeniggsegg.
He's more than ELON, Genius 💙
He had this plan when he was a little kid 7- 8 years old he has al in mentality thats why he sucseed.
I want to be like Christian Von koenigsegg
These ads are great
Ídolo crack von
My idol:)
At a young age, no cars sold for 8 years, and an average worth of a family, and a fire, to an all time legend fighting Bugatti as well as it is, and being the fastest production car.
👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️
how did the company survived when they didnt sell anything for years?
Shareholders with money, angel-investors, bank loans. Read interviews on his website.
That wooden floor anecdote must have been painful as heck to go through at the moment.
Elon and Christian need to do a colab!!!! It de
Doesn't even need to be cars, those two could accomplish literally anything.
Christian looks like kane from wwe getting chubby 😂
Anyway it was a beautiful speech ❤️
If the introduction doesn’t say “self made man”....
CEO and founder of Christian koenigsegg
The Commish is really smart.
That intro was cringy af. It should’ve been “Ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome CEO and founder of Koenigsegg, Christian von Koenigsegg.”
This is probably the most cursed thing I'd ever say, but what would a Koenigsegg Sedan look like?
in a way he succeeded because he accepted he can fail
11:58 I felt it in my guts xD
Elon Musk's arch nemesis.
mugensamurai I really hope Koenigsegg starts developing electric cars or even hydrogen powered cars. Then he will surely surpass Elon Musk as hypercars will draw a lot of attention from car enthusiasts
He already did, Reagera is hyper hybrid car.
How can he be a nemesis? Elon Musk deals with Rockets, puts our far more carbon then Koenigseggs cars.
*Bugatti arch nemesis
Don't u diss mr. Koenigsegg like that
Koenigsegg is his name
Because his head is a koenigs'egg'
His family originated from the German noble family "Königsegg"
But i know what you mean
C'mon, that pun was so stupid it made me laugh.
Damn! She's smoking-hot!
He must be secret related to Mike Patey
Christian von Koenigsegg is totally Lex Luthor in the flesh.
Don't ever work with elon please make ur car special by urself like u always do
What’s the name of the blonde?
Freddie Bluk yes
Christian is a nice guy. His worship of Branson is shockingly bad though, going by Branson's recent history. Elon Musk however shows how things should be done.
He was badly introcued and it was short very poorly, we didnt see anything of what he showed
How can someone like Christian look up to someone like Elon???
It would be really funny if someone said, "Please welcome CEO and founder of Elon Musk"
Fuck my major in Banking!!!
I'm gonna form my own car company!!!
Imagine if tesla and koenigsegg combined for a car…
who is she
Super cat blondie
Christian is the USP.
OMFG. Chinese supercar drivers?!?!?!?111 Oh dear god.
2:07
Who else came here from Donut Media?
Christian and Musk...team the fuck up already
Dr robotnik lol
vill bara som snart 59 år gammal ungdom säga tack christian
det du har byggt upp är inte mindre än underbart
dina bilar är både vackra och något av det snabbaste en rik man kan köpa
synd bara att motorn inte är svensk oxå :)
kan kanske glädja dig genom att berätta att de bygger sina motorer helt själv i Ängelholm numera, de har tagit sig långt förbi den ford v8 som de började med.
Both Christian and the ceo Of SSC are very bald, is this the sacrifice of making Hypercars?
More aerodynamic
Could've been invented 100 years ago looolll
Welcome the CEO and founder of CHristian Koenigsegg? so he's the founder and CEO of himself? lol bittttttttch
He has no eyebrows lmao
Bob the playboi His Name is Planted on One of The Fastest cars In The world... Wtf do you have huh
