It is a real honour to be able to share these videos with you, big thank you to Christian and the whole Koenigsegg team for opening their doors to us - next Koenigsegg video…Jesko Update! 😎🏁
Thank you for these videos. Feels like an exclusive peek into the future and having a naughty secret advantage. 😀🙏
If Christian and Mate Rimac worked together they could solve ALL of the world's problems.
You were in the presence of automotive royalty.
Congratulations on this achievement in your career and life. To be the first person outside of the company to experience the car must feel so surreal. Koenigsegg is the greatest car company in the world, I believe every bit of that!
The sound the Gemara makes is out of this world. I have been waiting for updates on the Gemera for a while now. I can’t for the Jesko updates as well.
I absolutely love the fact that Christian is the type of owner / CEO that actually knows the technical side of things and shares his passion openly. What a great guy.
Engineering companies with Enginners as CEOs just run diffently
Yes because they dont have so many model, its easy to know anything bout their cars
@@dorath2237 It's not about how many models they have Christian is an Engineers that knows his car inside outside and the design bits n pieces where other COE would just give brief paper intro then left it to the rest on the technical aspect
@@hansdietrich83 exactly
@@dorath2237 If you consider all models since (company) inception, it’s a fair amount and he knows them all.
Christian is an true definition of an "baller". This guy is truly living his dream. One of the greatest car guys in the world.
"a" for consonants, "an" for vowels
Right, imagine 1 man show company making better inventions in car industry, than companies having billion dollar R@D with hundreds of engineers and 100 year history... :)
Same story with Rimac.
Where is his Cuban Gold Chain lol
lol.. I saw what you did the with there "an". top gear fan over here
@@fanos23 "Orfanos" for bowels.
Wow, it is just amazing how open Christian is with his company. They are absolute legends for sharing with us. Thank you, Mr JWW, for always giving us top-notch content.
Thanks for watching, it’s a pleasure
Make no mistake.. Christian is the most calculating businessman today... in the best way. He knows that by illuminating a huge side of his manufacturing process, he can stimulate the interest of the right people. It's super genius. Basically what Ferrari did decades ago.
As long as he can stay on top of technology, his whole business is a unicorn. Exclusive of the exclusive.
Mad respect.
Haha, I see what you did there. *Absolute*
@@MrJWW i cannot buy that koenigsegg gemera
I can listen to Christian the whole day without being bored. He is a phenomenal person when it comes to his car, the only CEO who has a complete knowledge of every small details of his creation. Amazing person, down to earth humility.
Agree, but also check out Mate from Rimac, very similar
Also Elon Musk...
@@zoidburg2975 musk is none of those things
@@thomashayhurst6547 Wrong.
@@zoidburg2975
Phenomenal person - Only phenomenal in the level of narcissism he possesses
The only CEO who has complete knowledge of every small detail of his creation - So you're saying musk knew about dodgy batteries, fire hazard issues, whompy wheels and the failure of 'self driving' which isn't self driving at all?
Amazing person - Only when he's tweeting high off his face on the toilet is he amazing. Like how dumb can you get?
Down to earth humility - He insists on being called the founder of tesla despite that not being the case, the forcing the ACTUAL founders in a lawsuit to address him as such. Not very humble is it?
Great guy, Christian. Love how he talks and acknowledges other manufacturer‘s cars and just tries to do better👌🏽
I became a fan of Koenigsegg not just because of the cars, but because of Christian. I love how open he is about his cars' development, and all the ideas he has that differentiate his cars from the sea of cookie cutters.
@@dodoz44 Not only that but dude hes making a video with youtubers. How often do you see any car CEOs doing this type of stuff? Its the best marketing you can do and christain does it well. Its great for consumers and his business. We the fans get to know more and the buyers also get an insight on their future car or if they want to buy the car. Its just a win win everywhere. + Christian is just rad af, def would like to have a beer with him one day. Maybe in the after life lmfao
Yes with a perfect balance of knowledge and sound with his talking voice
Huge thanks to Christian for letting JWW do this series. 🙏
Likewise!
I mean.. Who else? :D
Mr JWW, the look on your face many times during this video was priceless. Christian von Koenigsegg is peerless in his field. Exciting times 👊
Top driver checking out a top car, go figure! 😀👍🍻
he has this 12 Year old first time in a super car look in his eyes, nestling at his fingers, pricelessly sweet!
Definitely a hands on boss who knows his product.
Any of the other top marques would not give this sort of transparency about one of their soon to be released cars.
Incredible company making ground braking innovation in automotive 😅
Peter Rawlinson, gave tech breakdowns of the Lucid Air's innovative drive unit before release.
Christian is just such a down to earth guy and even mentions other car brands when talking about his cars, just as normal car guys would do. Above all else he’s the kinda person that deserves to be rich, he isn’t some snobby idiot that thinks he’s better than everyone else and he is a true car guy. Mad respect for him, he’s really living the car guy dream.
5:42 *My man has an EVO as his background in a koenigsegg factory*
Noticed that too! It sums up perfectly the passion behind the brand, not only for their product but for cars in general! Real enthusiasts
It must be his personal car!
very unique exhaust note! Sounds like a chopper at low rpm but gets smoother and more refind at higher rpm.
I definitely picked up an aviation engine vibe from that engine note. I'll bet when it's finished and he guns it,it will sound unlike anything else on the road in the world and like a Merlin Spitfire engine coming down the track.
I was thinking diesel powered fishing boat…. But wasn’t brave enough to say..
Probably has something to do with the freevalves as well
@@antonyarnanova honestly, if it wasn't a Koenigsegg and we wouldn't know the stats about power and size, we would all hate the sound in a super-/hypercar. :D
It sounds like a JCB digger on a building site.
Anyone familiar with motorcycles know to appreciate a well tuned 3-cylinder engine. There's just something spicy about them. Can't wait to hear this car with full rpm and final-tuned exhaust, I'm sure it will be such a unique experience.
hahah, everytime i hear him say "3 cylinder" i remember my brothers 955i ;)
@@chrisbeswick791 that's a classic :D gotta love a nice Daytona
The Yamaha MT09/FZ09 sounds actually quite similar but I'm sure when the Gemera is able to fully rev the difference will be much bigger
@@bubbletea124 Yea it will depend a lot on fuelling and firing order, and ofc the engine being a good size larger and tuned for more low-end power. 3cyls tend to change notes quite a bit when going through the revs, so I'm curious to hear what this one will sound like at peak rpm. I think for bikes, the MV Agusta F3 is a great example of this.
@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel who are you?
You have no idea how long I've waited for the MrJWW videos on the Gemera!!!! Just WOW!!!
The first of many to come! Thanks for watching 😅
With any luck, won’t have to wait too much longer for the real deal😄
Thanks again for sharing. Absolutely love this company and so awesome to see the car before its even done.
Thank you for giving us this inside look into Koenigsegg! There's nothing else like this on the internet, it's super special to have such a detailed and personal look into such an innovative company in the otherwise stagnant automotive industry.
The sound is much like a Spitfire Merlin engine on idle. I just love that sound!!!
Never seen another company allow an outsider in to a raw-skin car like this. Normally it's locked away with tinted windows and camo! Shows how much of a car enthusiast Christian is, not just an owner/CEO. Also props to MrJWW for this awesome insite!
I mean this car was released more than 1 year ago so you already know how it looks but I get what you mean
I've been to the factory a couple of times, and they are really proud of what they're doing there, they want to show the world. I got to sit in an Agera RS, and was shown around the entire factory even though I was just there to do repairs on scissor lifts....
@@JorgenKreedz Is it available to the public? I would love to scratch that of my bucket list.
@@DBrealmadrid9606 According to their website it cost 100$ per peron to do a tour of the factory. I was there to work, and just happened to get shown around lol, I work for the company that supplies Koenigsegg with lifts, you can see some boomlifts of ours at the end of the video.
@@JorgenKreedz Thanks for the info. Much appreciated!
One of the engineers at 5:42 is a Evo 8/9 fan and possibly owns one according to his laptop wallpaper. Pretty awesome :)
I was going through the comments to see if anyone else had noticed that too haha
Looks like an Evo IX, probably his
They have taken the engineering of this car to whole new limits. I'm really impressed, i like to see unique builds, not a copy of other car manufactures, this is Koenigsegg in a nutshell. Always being innovators to the car manufacturing industry, can't wait to race these on the straight.
Christian really thought outside of the box on this one. What an amazing machine!
Wow, that’s an exclusive! Christian has smashed it out the park 🚀🤘🏾
18:20 **Rimac is building a new factory aswell
Absolutely mind blowing to see how much this company can improve the technology of cars and Christan himself what a humble man, love to see him talk about basically his babies😁
Holy Crap that exhaust. Love this series 🔥🔥🔥 Let’s Go !!!
i said to myself there's no way it sounds that killer ! .. this guy is the best can they build a hot hatch with one of those next please lol
@@scootersfrog 600 hp 3 cylinder lightweight carbon made hot hatch - im all in!
@@aczech12 for sale for only 1 million dollars
And to think its freevalve(camless electronic actuated valves). So it can be customizable if you can get in the comp. Imagine the possibilities.
I love that Christian is such a purist in engineering and how he vertically integrates all aspects of design, development and manufacturing in house. His cars are amazing! Besides him, the only other purist is Pagani.
What amazes me about the Koenigsegg company and the man himself is the dedication to performance not just in the car but in the technical advancement and manufacturing brilliance that they put into these rolling pieces of artwork.
I know the company must viciously guard it's patents becuase every time they put out a car,there is something that has never existed in a car before in them.
It's just stunning to watch it happen every time and to see the standard be stupendously high and met every time.
It must be exhausting to work there but exhilarating and satisfying at the same time.
And that's what we are seeing.
A hell of alot of really hard ,really well done work.
Koenigsegg, the only car brand that gives me goose bumps every single time. That Ghost Squadron thingie is just too much of an honorary thing to watch and not go crazy about it.
This is amazing! Can’t wait for more!
Can not believe how excited I am to see this big four seat car on the roads love the series and anything koenigsegg related
Be nice but I wouldn’t hold your breath on seeing one on the road, low production numbers and the cars are probably all spoken for from the Uber rich and probably will only see a handful of miles per year , for the rich, it’s a status symbol
This video is so good. Love how two of you discussed and Christian is definitely an amazing person and how he talks to others.
7:58 “base model” makes you realize how much more powerful they can make it..
1700 BHP, but we probably won’t stop there. Christian you are a legend👌
Good call the 2300 HP one just got announced
Absolutely stunning,can’t wait to see & watch what this beauty can do!
What a moment! Thanks. Great tour
I love how transparent they are. So classy
Few things excite me like the engineering that goes into a Koenigsegg does! Thank you Mr. Jww!🙏🏼
Notifications squad was waiting for this video since the last video was uploaded love it and I posted the dyno and gear box part on tiktok and it has 2 million views over 300 comments asked about the original video Mr.JWW and Koenigsegg are tagged in all of them people love the content
Thanks for the video series guys. Great job.
Another excellent video from you, thank you!
FINALLY get to hear what it sounds like
It sounds like a lawnmower
sound pretty bad... ill bet they fine tune the exhaust for a Much better sound come production...they couldnt possibly expect people to get excited about the current exhaust note
Two wonderful elements of production married together in one video. Thank you Christian for producing this work of automotive art and thank you James for producing this content for our viewing pleasure 👌🏻
I have been waiting so long to hear this beauty. Thank you for sharing this!
Absolute respect to Christian for being so in-depth and open about the company and all the amazing work that's going on! That's incredibly special and I wish more manufacturers were like Koenigsegg!
Christian is an amazing leader who is open, does everything with passion and is willing to share it. Adore him since my childhood, he is onto something exceptionally remarkable.
With how secretive and held back with their designs and tech and how other supercar manufacturers do things, it's amazing how open he is with the company. Plus working to develop and share so much ground breaking tech with other manufacturers makes it that much better for everyone.
Yeah I remember the hype around the Porsche 959 back then, they didn't even show the engine for a second until the official release because they were afraid some tech genius from the competition could recreate it from a quick glance.
13:29 "Let's have a go" said Christian von Koenigsegg and activated the ejector seat.
I really like keonigsegg. I appreciate the engineering and designs. This car just sounds like some industrial machine
Absolutely hands down my favorite hyper car.. ever! And absolutely my favorite head honcho Christian Von Koenigsegg. This dude is amazing and I really hope his name goes down in history for developing the most innovative hi-tech used in the hyper/car industry!
I could listen to Christian talk all day about his toys, very charismatic
Great video as always, James! We can't wait for the Jesko update next.
The deep rumble out of that 3 cylinder is incredible. Great job again Mr. Egg.
I've been waiting forever to hear this tiny friendly giant! 3 cylinders are just so epic!
To echo what many people have already said, I could honestly sit and listen to Christian talk about cars all day.
It's always inspiring to hear his passsion when he's talking.
Thank you for allowing us to see this Christian & Mr JWW.
So happy for Christian and his team - I've watched them grow through the years and cannot wait to see what they will be capable of in 10yrs from now.
what an automaker and what a leader.
What a privilege to see this astonishing piece of engineering coming to fruition. There is no doubt that this is going to be the car that the uber rich want...hats off to Christian for his vision and drive to keep pushing the boundaries of automotive development. Thanks, James, for taking us behind the scenes.
Fantastic. Always great to see more about the Gemera.
Awesome dash! I love that it follows the wheel and that the readout tilts and stays upright.
Such an interesting machine. That 3 cylinder just sounds a little weird. Perhaps it sounds better at 8000 rpm. Granted, it’s early so that could change a lot between now and production. But it is really cool to listen to Christian explain the various tech developments they’re putting in their cars. It’s a great day to be a Koenigsegg fan!
Yeah, it kinda sounds like a truck lol. But otherwise I agree, it is interesting!
@@SmOgER10 Thought of a tractor while Christian was driving it tbh lol
He Did say they havent fine tuned the exhaust yet but yeah, totally bizzare , almost clattering like a diesel truck...not very pleasnat to the ear,thats for sure... the gt3rs has nothing to worry about in that dept
At 4k RPM it sounds like a VW Up lol. Amazing car nonetheless. Christian is my absolute favorite figure in the automotive industry at the moment. Seems like a very genuine dude
If you love a 3 cylinder motorcycle you would appreciate it.
Best car company ever! Great people who make the greatest technology and even better cars!
You two are both absolutely fantastic to watch! I love the relationship. Thank you for all these videos. I can see the friendship being formed with you guys. It's such a pleasure to watch! Thanks again JWW
Christian seems like the absolute man...so happy to see the success of his company. It is absolutely mindblowing and fascinating what they are accomplishing and its truly great to see his passion for every single millimeter of the process. Looks like an incredible person to work for - his employees are very fortunate.
Everything that Christian says is mind blowingly fantastic. What a company!
James, I can see the hamster on the wheel turning in your head when Christian was talking about the mid-engine driving the front wheels and the 2 batteries in the rear driving the rears 😂. So many good quotes in this video “normally robotizes with the skin”, got to love it!!! Loved your intro B clips, it encapsulates the channels essence!!! Next level stuff!!!
Wow huge! Thanks JWW
Thank you. This is what I needed in my life. I have now subbed
Christian von Koenigsegg is like that teacher who's never moody, is always happy and always loves to tell stories. What a wonderful guy!
That may be the coolest car yet. It having the ability to have 4 passengers is amazing.
Enjoyed that - thanks!
It seems like every video with Christian is so fun. He's so authentic and always has so much detail to share. It reminds me of the Gordon Murray videos on the t.50
James... you're hanging out in a Gemera with Christian driving you around, you absolute boss! Thank you for bringing this to us! =)
How can anyone dislike Christian, what a legend!
I love listening to Christian talk tech, he is just like Professor Brian Cox. Both have me lost early on in their presentations. Atb.
Great episode thank you
If I had the money, the Gemera would definitely be on my shopping list… I love the design and the technologies involved.
Once again, James and the team giving us access to people, places, and truly exotic machinery that very few will ever get to experience firsthand. Thank you James and all involved! The chemistry between James and Christian is fantastic, the mutual respect is something so seldom seen, not only on TH-cam but in mainstream media outlets as well.
They’re amazing
Christian mentioned the possibility of making the electric drive components available to other manufacturers. In other sources, I have seen that he claims that a naturally aspirated version of the TFG would produce 280 horsepower. I would love to see them make non-turbo versions of the TFG and non-turbo 4-liter straight 6 versions available to other manufacturers as well. I imagine that a relatively lightweight, multi-fuel, emissions-compliant straight 6 with an incredibly flexible powerband topping out at 500+ HP at 8500 rpm would be an unbeatable powerplant for a modern carbon fiber recreation of an E-Type, 300 SL, or even a BMW M1.
What a video. Could listen to Christian all day. You can see the passion he has. Properly exciting car.
You don’t realise how much I’ve scoured the internet over the past 2 years just to hear that 3 cylinder sound, thank you SO MUCH! 🙏
Haven’t seen Christian so alive. God bless him and his journey!!!
You guys are the best
👍🏾
Awesome video aswell love christan the knowledge he knows about cars,is unbelievable,honestly can't wait for yours to come
Can't wait to see your spec choice!
Got some ideas now I’ve spent more time with it!
@@MrJWW you did a great job on the original paint design on the Porsche. I don't know if Koenigsegg will offer that option or how much it would cost but it would be unique!
Love the Mitsubishi Evo on the guys computer background 🤣🤣🤣
Same 🤣
Great video as always 👊
Any other car company personality don't even talk about any other car company but this man is such a legend he is talking It's looks cool like old school super cars McLaren F1 and Lamborghini. He is such car guy
Imagine working over there, would be amazing!!!!
Koenigsegg is special in every possible direction, think a minute, what company will show to the public a developement project? No one. They are truly amazing. Thanks for exist koenigsegg.
Tesla with the gen2 roadster in 2017, cybertruck in 2019 come to mind. People we're allowed inside and given test rides for both vehicle's.
Ford also has allowed pre production rides and drives of the mach e from 2020 and the lightning from late last year. 🤔
@@4literv6 Both of the Tesla products were fraudulent and have not met promised standards.
@@davidmusil4145 how could a fraudulent product be ridden in&reviewed by Jay Leno? As both the gen2 roadster and cybertruck have.
And why would the Peterson automotive museum allow them to be exhibited as both have already been put on display there. 🤔
@@4literv6 but those cars were not "rough testing protos" with exposed cables... but pre-prod cars
@@4literv6 I never see a test prototype in my live, specialy in that "raw" form. Even if i work for a big car manufacture will be difficult see that, engeneers dont like share secrets, and they cant do that. Maybe the case you're talking about is with complete prototypes, i dont know, sorry.
What an incredible opportunity love the video as always.
Mr JWW - your Koenigsegg series is Outstanding! My thanks to you, and Christian too.
Just incredible to watch the passion of Christian! As a auto technician myself I would love to work on these cars!
Just take a minute to digest what is happening here…… the founder …. Owner of the most innovative car company is opening the prototype for the world to see
And the way he can talk and tell ….. amazing!
Pretty special day!
Learned a lot from this video, thank you!
christian is the designer down to all details among with being the mechanical designer.. he's the CEO along with being the head of Q.C. .. He's the great mind of a genius and the passion of a little boy trapped in a man's body
Christian's face when the valvetrain starts rattling like a diesel 15:20 🤣
This is perfection.
Prototype Perfection 😅
Now can you imagine what the production version will be like 🚀
Amazing video, such a legend ✊✊
You just cant help but like mr jww, sir always be courteous and soothing, i learned alot from you
Compared to the "big name" automotive TH-camrs your subscriber amount is relatively small (if you can call 685K small lol) yet you still manage to put out some of the best content and get access to some of the best things. Keep up the good work!!
He is a Gemera customer too. He paid for the car
