How Koenigsegg's 7-Clutch LST Work - Sponsored By AutoTempest
The Koenigsegg Jesko is a marvel of modern engineering. With a 5.0L twin-turbo V8 engine, it produces 1600 horsepower on E85 fuel. That's just the start. Power is sent through a 9-speed, 7 clutch transmission. Why on earth would a transmission need 7 clutches? For insanely fast shifts, from any gear to any other gear, that is. According to Koenigsegg, the clutches can open and close in as little as just 2 milliseconds! The setup uses three shafts and compound gearing to make it all work, resulting in less gear pairs overall. With a clutch for each gear pair, shifts are not only insanely fast, but there's never a loss of torque during upshifts either, as the clutches overlap while closing and opening, meaning you'll retain positive torque during the shift. Check out the video to learn all about how it works!

Engineers: How many clutches do you want in your transmission?
Koenigsegg: Yes
ALL OF THEM
Alot
I always say the "yes" in russian accent in my head.
I say it in a "normal" accent, but with a non-smiling, straightforward face, and say it relatively quickly
Keonigsegg: MOAR! CLUTCH!
Dual clutch transmission is better that single clutch transmission
Koenigsegg: hold my beer
"The more the better right?"
This is the best comment yet....
hold my gear
so seven cluthc is better then duel for the five time :D
Hold my *meatballs
Christian: 7 clutches.
Engineer: you mean gears.
Christian: No clutches.
Engineering: ah sh!t.
This is the most eductional video about cars in this channel
As far as I remember it was just the opposite.
Engineer: 7 clutches
Christian: you mean 7 gears.
Engineer: no, I had my meds, 7 clutches and it works.
Christian: you are right, it works /someone please check his meds box before I give it a green light/
Engineer: What are you looking at on my desk? Yes my pc is unplugged but the ZPM works just fine... Check out this gearbox, this one is cool! :-)
Why can't my university lecturers explain stuff this well?
Someone should just give you a medal already.
Dragan Postolovski
Love how he explains stuff
Or we can just kidnap/clone him and force the clones to teach at universities. It's for the better of humanity, victories eventually come at a small price.
I know this was more of a rhetorical question, but the gist of it is that your university professor doesn't really have to go above and beyond. He only needs to do his job, and if he isn't passionate, that's that. Jason on the other hand needs to be good at what he does, since his success in teaching is directly proportionate to how well his channel is doing, and thus his income.
The thing is your professors (need to) explain things more indepht, include more math etc.
Obviously it's harder to understand if it's more complex. These videos explain the basic principle in good detail, but that's it.
Todestuete yup exactly I agree. A lot of people miss/forget that. He explains the basic concept. But it will always be harder when we have to go into the math and go more in depth.
Normal car person: I burnt my clutch
Koenigsegg car person : I burnt one of my clutches not sure which one.
Ha, fun to think about. You could actually figure it out by trying the different gear pairs, and seeing which individual clutch didn't work based on the three forward speeds that rely on it.
Automatics have multiple clutches
@@EngineeringExplained I'm sure they have sensors to find out which clutch/gear is failed
@@EngineeringExplained
Haha get woooooshed, mate.
@@dank7491 he didnt he understood the joke as he said "Ha funny to think about" than explained how the problem can be solved also you wrote too many O's Baka
But is it as fast and smooth, as Jason switching from tech talk into promoting his article and back? 🤔
You said it so well
Impossibru
Haha, nice call
No.
It's faster. :D
Von Koenigsegg: Hey now, let's not get crazy. We're good, but not that good.
That's quite the elaborate pun to get to the magazine!
Koenigsegg: Design a supercar that requires no transmission, only a torque converter to shame other hypercar manufacturers
Also Koenigsegg: Doubles down on the engineering and reinvents the transmission to again shame the competition.
NoFanSLand exactly
@amarjit singh definently the most potent hypercar out there
NoFanSLand. It’s amazing the amount of groundbreaking stuff they come up with at Koenigsegg. The major car companies probably have multi billion dollar development budgets and can’t even compete with a niche car maker for ingenuity!
@@David-lr2vi can't compete with Koenigsegg? To be fair, all these "innovations" Koenigsegg came up with (Free Valve, Lightspeed transmission, top mounted spoiler, etc) are pretty meaningless if the car is not performing.
For example every McLaren Senna with half the power or even a 488 pista is faster around tracks than these Koenigseggs.
Koenigsegg cars are brutal but way less refined, they often lack traction or stability, which makes them hard and not fun to drive unlike cars such as the Gt2rs, the pista or the Senna, which all are way less powerful but better performing.
Nik7 BKH. Well McLaren is another niche car maker. I understand that the whole package makes the car. My whole point is that it seems that it’s the small volume car makers that seem to be doing all the R&D these days and not the mainstream companies like Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, etc.
Maybe the big car companies are all spending their R&D money on electric cars?
7:11 Wow wow easy buddy, you can't start speaking fluent italian in the middle of the video
Deliziosa!
How long will it take before someone mixes that with some peter griffin arguing in italian?
im dead lmfao
This comment.... hi fu king la rious. XD
Funniest thing i've read in a long time
I'm in for a new clutch.
"Which one?".
hitlersmissingnut all of the above
So your the one they call Hitlers missing nut
Yes.
supersonic118 boi damn didn’t notice it till u mentioned it :). ,I hav a habit of reading majority of comments, and some can be interesting.
“Well sir, we’re having a special today. For every three clutches you replace, we’ll throw in the fourth for free. That’s 8 clutches for the price of 6!”
But how are they gonna fit 7 clutch pedals on the floorboard?
:-)
xD
4 of the clutch pedals will be put into the passenger foot well so that the passenger can also experience the car
It really is a spider car
😂😂😂😂😂
Apparently Koenigsegg has a cheat code to close all clutches
That unlockes warp drive mode
Pretty neat
More like nose dive mode
😂😂😂😂😂
Ultimate trans break for drag racing haha. All gears lock and trans both in forward and reverse all at once
Epic!!!
Wouldn't that activate reverse + all forward gears = stall the car? ;)

"So you're on the highway cruising, you want as much power as possible"
Yeah, to undertake that truck hogging the left lane @ 55 mph, being in a 1600 hp Koenigsegg I would need just that
Coffee Pjesht nah, it’s so that when you see someone come flying up on you in a car they think is fast and you want to show them what fast really means. Or, when you want to pass that person who is causing your lane to go significantly slower than the passing lane so you can catch that opening.
@@dj7291993 It's definitely for dick waving. Nothing else on the road can outpull a 1600hp Koenigsegg dropping into its peak powerband in 2ms
Granted Koenigsegg are always playing around with technology that might be implemented in normal cars. They've been working on their freevalve technology for a few years now which (like the transmission) make the engine smaller and more efficient. This transmission could easily be implemented in other cars.
@@brynclarke1746 trust me there's plenty of modified street racing cars out there that's faster
When the light switches from green to yellow!
It's a shame they focused too much on how to make a 7 clutch car instead of adding another 400hp, make it an even 2000hp with maybe just 5 clutch?.
For this reason I'll stick with my Prius.

"we're gonna go 9th to 2nd, just to demonstrate that"
goodbye pistons
Hello unintentional block porting.
Wut? I do that in games and the engine just powers through it. ??? Explain please.
Well if you're in 9th for fuel economy then go to 2nd for power it's fine. The new Corvettes do this all the time.
Youre supposed to go from 9th to R for racing
@@theenzoferrari458 well you see if you're in 9th gear and you want to go to 2nd gear, 9+2 is 13, which is 2 digits and a car can't handle that much digits.
in the game, the number overflows and loops back around to 1st gear, so its fine.
Im studying mechanical engineering at DTU in Denmark, one of our teachers helped koenigsegg building this transmission. He told us that the biggest challange with this transmission was that the gears had to be very thin because of all the clutches. Most computer programs said the transmission was completly impossible to design. The tolerances in this transmission is extremely tight, and also the expected lifetime is not that high :D
He propably lied cuz Koenigsegg haven't said anything about it being bad in durability. The latest video about the gearbox litterly says it has very low wear of the gears and clutches.
Either way it’s a revolutionary feat in engineering and it’s too bad this was developed in the tail end of ICE era of automotive technology (although I don’t fully believe ICE is as close to being phased out as everyone wants us to believe, it is inevitable) I truly hope koenigsegg will license this to other manufacturers so us as simpletons will get to experience this. This has long been dream by car manufacturers and enthusiasts alike. Bravo, damn swedens put a perpetual watch in a transmission
But that can be resolved with engineering new or better material
You know what's more insane than this technology? Engineering Explained's informative content yo.
You know what's actually insane? Konigsegg figured out how to apply a mountain bike's gearing concept to handle 1600hp.
@@Ribbityibzki I don't recall many mountain bikes using clutches tho ... :D
@@kenkalajdzic not the clutches, but the gearset.
What's more insane than this technology? Any consumer ignorant enough to buy it!😰
Beastly Buick V6 It’s actually ignorant to not buy it. The people who have the chance to buy it can resell it and make crazy amounts of profit. This type of car resells for 2 to 3 the original purchase price.
One clutch: slow
Two clutches: faster
Koenigseggegesgesgesge: GIVE EVERY GEAR A CLUTCH NOW
She was great. Swimming with the sharks. She was the white one

Hahahahaha

@@lucywucyyy According to the whiteboard there already is! (Reverse included.)
Bugatti engineers: Write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!
@Amarjit Singh not even a official record and they would get smoked on a track
@Amarjit Singh i think transmissions doesnt affect top speed but acceleration correct me if im wrong
They looked at a bike transmission and were like:
"Damn, i wish i had that many gears"
Cracked Emerald yeah. I was literally coming to the comments to see if anyone saw this as well.
Until you realize that modern bikes have 12 speed drivetrains
@@owenmarsh1985 lamo yeah all of them are one by 12
I presume that's exactly what was inspiring the engineer that came up with the idea. Because CvK did mention and compare it with bicycle gears.
It's a mystery that a very low production car company can actually innovate in such an expensive R&D high tech area like this. Most "bespoke" manufacturers have no choice but to just use other people's parts. Even Rolls-Royce used GM transmissions. Amazing.
The difference being is that cars like Rolls-Royce are going to driven unlike the Koenigsegg which are garage queen due to how long it takes to get any repaired when the cars break down which happens frequently. Most of the technology koenigsegg uses has already been experimented by other automakers. There’s a reason they didn’t use said technology mostly because the difficulty of mass production, too little improvement over existing designs, or being unreliable.
@@vablo7198
Actually, with fewer engineers, you can concentrate on the important design features. With a 100 engineers, you get too many opinions and a mediocre all-round design (does not excel at any one thing).
@@abes3925 i can tell you no one else did this, or the Freevalve system, or the transmissiin they use in the Regera.
@@R4M_Tommy you're right about not having the Free valve in a production car. But we had protype engines running on the same concept in the 90s at Navistar. Unfortunately controllers weren't fast enough at the time to do it reliably for hundreds of thousands of miles.
@@abes3925that is all BS lies from u. Koenigsegg's has never broke down without an driver error being the reason like reving the car as soon as u start it. Koenigsegg uses billet aluminium blocks litterly more durable than the W16 from Bugatti.

Ha, thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Literally figuratively ahh what’s the difference
So it's basically like a 21 speed bicycle 3x7 rather than a traditional gearbox being 1x7?
That's a very interesting way of putting it.

Yes, but with clutches. Lots of clutches.

Combining both the best stuff about single clutch and dual clutch, having 9 gears, shifting incredibly fast, all while being incredibly light. Christian and his team are a bunch of geniuses. And also major props to you. Beautifully explained. You and PapadakisRacing are the only TH-cam channels I watch every video from.
Congrats on the article in Road and Track! Awesome video as usual!
great job as always, yoru videos always make it very easy to understand. Your diagram is so good that you didn't even need more of the video because as soon as I saw the diagram, in less than a minute I understood how it worked
very informative and in depth! great video jason!
This somehow reminds me of a mountain bike gears, only with clutches and more complexity.
Exactly what I was thinking.... I respect Christian von Koenigsegg for his willingness to think outside the box. He brings something new with every new model
Same
Yeah same.
But obviously your not gonna be able to unleash 1600 bhp on a mountainbike set-up
That chain will probably snap before you can blink.
Christian Koenigsegg mentioned mountain bikes too in one of his interviews
I wanted to understand their multi clutch transmission and your explanation was so easy and good. That was awesome. Thank you!
AAAHHHHHH I read that article!!! I totally almost passed this video because of how well you explained it in the article! 👌
Corvette owner: "I had to replace my transmission and it cost what I make in a month!"
Jesko owner: "Wow that sucks huh" rolls eyes
Probably costs what corvette owner makes in a year
Whoever owns either vehicles should be too bothered with the repair bill, considering the very cost of their vehicles.
As an automotive engineering student this is just baffling. Koenigsegg revolutionizes so many things in automotive technology which has been somewhat the same for a hundred years..
I'm assuming this has been thought of but the complexity and price has been a factor. A DCT is already 20-30k, can't imagine what this will cost.
30 years. 100 years is stretching it.
As an HET, all modern large equipment uses this style of transmission/gearbox, nothing new.
as an automotive engineering student.. you should know this is simply a traditional automatic gearbox with cog gears instead of planetary. im actually worried about the future of automotive engineering if you think this is baffling or revolutionary.
pop quiz: explain how this gearbox operates fundamentally differently than the automatic in a '69 chev? you cant. its just a few extra gears, and the gears are shaped differently
How does Koenigsegg handle the 3/4 and 6/7 shifts, especially with clutch overlap for continuous power delivery? Those two involve swapping not one but two pairs of clutches - shifting one sub-transmission a step up and shifting the other down. All modern multi-clutch automatics involve only a single clutch-to-clutch swap for every sequential and double shift to avoid engine flare or bogging down the engine.
Timing.
Another great video Jason. Thanks for sharing this !
park is easy😀 close all clutches
You only need to close two on the same shaft...
And I bet this thing is gonna blow up often... all it takes is one clutch to fail and locka and it's over... (although, clutches usually slip with they fail, so maybe it's not such a problem).
Woosh
@Deadlyguy135 i think you need pressure to open them
@@mikkihintikka7273 in dual clutch transmissions they are pressure _closed_ (unlike on a manual, where the clutch is pressure _opened_ ), it's a safety feature. I guess it's the same with the königsegg. For park you only need one actuator and a notch in the output shaft.
@@mikkihintikka7273 yes, like on a motorcycle or manual trans car traditionally; but with so many clutches in this design(7 counting reverse) where most of them have to be open(5 open and only 2 closed for forward gears, and 6 open for reverse) it would seem better if normally they were all open in a 'resting' state ... a car or motorcycle uses springs to hold the clutch closed at rest, but here you could just use a solenoid to close it at will?
- I wish he would have said how they operated the clutches in the video
I'd like to take this moment to thank Jason(EE) for giving me facts and info I'd never otherwise understand and be exposed to. I've always wanted to understand cars but always got discouraged with the technicalities and books and links to all these crazy different parts. You help me understand these complex topics so well!

My favorite educational youtuber talking about my favorite vehicle manufacturer! This day just got way better thank goodness
Once you draw it out, it looks so evident, why did nobody think about this before?
cost.
It's like gears in a mountain bike 🚲
But true: some of these clutches (if not all) have to deal with enormous torqe.
All of them must be actuated in some way (oil pressure?)
They have thought of it before. My 1992 Honda Accord's transmission works the same way.
Super brilliant explanation, Thanks you
Nice job explaining both, Jason
Hey this is actually how I thought an automatic transmission worked when I was 13! Cool to see actually be a thing now.
I’m starting my Mechanical Engineering undergrad this fall and these videos r really helpful!
You are not seeing any of this but prepare for materials science, elasticity, mechanisms, thermodynamichs (heat transfer) ...
Lluis Fargas López yes I’m aware that’s the bulk of it but I’ve already taken intro to design and engineering foundations and gear ratios, torque, and mechanical adv are all big topics
@@mohamedhussein5190 i see you are an enthusiast. You will get some fun fore sure if you don't worry to much about marks and try to enrolle in sone extra curricular activities. Right now I'm into the design of the refrigeration system for the batteries of an electric competition motorbike. Thought what I've liked the most are structures I have started to find some fun in the thermodynamics world and simulations with cae programs.
It amazes me how Koenigsegg and Rimac keep making these innovations despite being the smallest companies in the industry
Watch Geek it does feel surprising at first but if it’s anything like the IT industry it’s the very reason(being small) they have such fast innovation cycles. Of course the prerequisite for that to work is that they really know what they are doing. And they do.
I love how passionate you are and how interesting you can make a transmission appear to be!

Are there any updates, latest developments on their FreeValve research?
FreeValve doesn't work, its purely a gimmick
Yea, it would be nice to know what's actually happening to these technologies. With Koenigsegg's advancements, like the removal of camshaft and this smaller transmission, we could be expecting as much as 1/4 ton of weight reduction. It would be a real shame not to see that permeate the whole market.
China is the only other country mass producing the first consumer friendly freevalve engines from koenigsegg
@@Varadiio FreeValve isn't going to happen, its not useful at all...
Paul Bautista yeah I hope to hear more updates from them soon. They claim to have put their actuators through hundreds of millions of cycles of testing with no measurable wear. Pretty impressive.
Why don’t they make a dual clutch manual? Just four pedals and two gear knobs right? 🤔
I was thinking about this the whole time. You could probably actually do it with just 3 pedals still. Clutch pedal releases all clutches.
Nah mate, next generation of this transmission will use 7 clutch pedals and 7 gear knobs, 2 is for noob 😂
Great explanation. Thanks
gr8 work as always man ..tnx awesome car
Get an 86/BRZ/FR-S! Great community with a ton of available mods. Would love to see one torn down with your engineering expertise!
Yes! And throw a turbo under the hood! 👍
So...
Is it basically non-planetary automatic trans?
Basically.
With no torque converter...
@@gertahnstrom784 First they build a car without a gearbox and just a huge torque converter, and now they build a car with a (kind of/possibly) automatic transmission without a torque converter. Can they please make up their minds? 😋
Yeah, so much talk about what just about any AT has. Are the only differences here that it's not planetary and has more clutch packs? Both being not that unique actually.
Absolutely love your videos!!
Road & Track article...that IS super cool. Btw, you are awesome to listen to and learn from. Teachers need to be engaging to help people learn, you do a great job. Just my opinion.
Hey Jason could you please make a video on CVTs? The last one you made was almost 2 years back. We would like to know more about the CVTs.
Cheers!!
Your clutch switching moves have a striking resemblance to Dr. Zoidberg's mating dance signs. 🦀
I paused afterwards at 7:20 to look for this comment, and I found it. Thanks, im not alone in these thoughts.
Haha, well said.
Great explanation and diagram, Jason!
Great explanation as always Jason! It's really fascinating they put clutches where syncromeshes are usually at.
From what I see the clutch 4, 5, 6 are the busiest ones for daily city driving as they're responsible for 1st to 3rd gear changes. The least used one perhaps the clutch 3, if you don't shift beyond 6th gear you'd never use it. All this changes if you mainly run the car on circuit though.
After a year of daily usage the clutch sets 4 - 6 would wear out the most, then perhaps the clutch 1? As there is no "flywheel" vs main clutch plate slip to start the car, like in standard car, would this gearbox let the clutch 1 fully grip then let the clutch 4 slip to start the vehicle? Or vise versa? Or both clutches slip to start the car?
In a metaphor for bicycle, the 1st tier gear sets are like you have 3 gears on front derailer and 2nd sets are the rear 3 gears - hence gives you 9 possible different ratio combinations. 3 is a nice number, 2x2 wouldn't really work coz that only gives you 4 speeds, 4x4 is bit too excessive (16 speeds) but might work for trucks.
Is it me, or are Koenigsegg engineers just making the ultimate car?
How do they even manage to develop these amazing technologies while they sell so few cars. Granted, the cars are expensive, but R&D is also incredibly expensive.
Definitely very impressive
Christian doesn't just manufacture and sell cars. Apparently they also own several sister companies that hold several patents and do other stuff related to automotive technologies. For example, the FreeValve. And if I am not mistaken, the recent Top Gear videos also mentioned about them owning their own carbon fibre factory in Spain. Pretty sure they also invested in several other companies.
If you look closer, Christians solutions are at most time simple and straight forward to implement, like this gearbox is just a manual gearbox with clutches for every gear while other manufacturers spend billions on cutting corners and developing tech that guarantee a fixed point of failure
@@thapelomashaomasemola7922 Sometimes, yes. Good point.
But they do almost everything in house apart from the tires. Not even the big ones do that

Jason - Thank you for your video, I appreciate your work. Your enthusiasm for your material shows thru!
I hope to ask if you can share any evidence that K completes a shift in 2 milliseconds? I saw that on your whiteboard and am intrigued. Is there any way you can provide more detail on how this is done?
when you shifted from 9th to 2nd i could hear the valves floating. lol.
Not if they pair it with their camless valve system thing 😬
Yeah it's silly, the engine needs time to rev match anyway.
@@dubeights even the camless will have a limit. its still moving mechanical parts that can only take so much force before parts begin to stretch or fail.
