Over the coming months we’re going to take you on the most complete journey of this incredible car brand by driving every significant Koenigsegg ever made! Stay tuned and hit that subscribe button...it’s about to get FAST! 🤘🏼
I'm super glad that you're getting a Gamera, maybe one day there could be an all Gamera rally. I'd love to see you there, if I ever manage to decide on the spec.
EVERY Koenigsegg is utterly significant!
Epic
Finally! The Koenigseg documentary that I have wanted, and that shows the innovations and engineering that sets these cars far beyond all others!!! Thanks James. This documentary is my favorite already!!!
I would like to hear something about the GT1 Programm.
When Christian Von Koenigsegg starts to talk about cars & technology I can just listen to him for hours, looking forward to this video & the rest of the series.
You're right!
I so much love the Koenigsegg. I hope I get one someday
With the right investments we will surely get there
What would be the right investment?
I tried trading cryptos but got confused by the fluctuations in price
That wouldn't be a problem if you trade with a professional like Thamos Grey
"We didn't even plan to take the 0-400-0 record. But the road we were testing at was so short we had to brake. So that is how we took that record too."
Pure savagery.
imagine accidentally being savage
record is allready lost , the 0 - 500 bugatti is the record xd , cheers !
@@emanuelninja yeah in a custom made chiron on a preped VW track...
Maverick!
@@emanuelninja Do you know about the Jesko
It is obvious when you hear Christian Von Koenigsegg speak, that he is not just the "figurehead" owner of a company that sits in an office and does deals. .
He's also not just a "Salesman" trying to push his product. . talking the talk . . . but not delivering..
This guy know and understands EVERY tiny aspect of every nut and bolt. Every stitch of the upholstery. Every engineering specification of the motor, gearbox, suspension and bodywork. Every scientific drag ratio of the frame and exterior surfaces. Every financial aspect of production and sales. Every marketing aspect..
He is totally passionate and knowledgable about every detail of his cars. .
AND he is so polite, friendly, engaging and well-spoken that he makes EVERYONE feel like his friend.
He is always humble about the achievements of his company, his cars, their world records and his own success.
He deserves respect...
Fully agree with your words, this guy is a legend, undoubtedly.
He is a leader!
Agreed 👍
Love Christian. He's the ultimate micromanager. LOL!
There's an old video of Christian himself doing the paint and polishing of one of the early CCRs. Today they have the most robust paint of any supercar, 5x thicker than that of a Rolls Royce Phantom.
Christian has the calibre of Enzo Ferrari. He is a Living legend.
CvK is Elon Musk without the bullshit, just technical and factual knowledge,
Agreed. CvK is the greatest car manufacturer of 21st century.
CVK has been my inspiration since my school days i used watch a show on natgeo where i saw him and his story for the first time.
@@sickboy948 SAME! The minute I saw the Agera I fell in love with the company. And hearing all the mind-blowing stuff that Christian told about their cars only made that feeling stronger
To this day I get a shiver in my spine when I see the Grey-Blue spec Agera that was featured on NatGeo
Ferrari in the dust.
The way this man knows his cars. Every single detail of it, he knows😭. One day, oh one day, I will own one🤞🏾. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
He’s brilliant!
He is brilliant indeed. But also funny he doesn't know the exact production numbers of all models 😄
South Africa would be the perfect place to own one... bribe you way out of anything 😂. Spent a year in cape town and loved every minute. Kept bringing my friends over because no one would believe me when I told them how great South Africa is. They just remember the bad stuff. Drove a WV van and a 67 lambretta... great times 😁. Great people. Great food. Great wine. Great sex. Everything is cheap. Everyone is excited and having fun. I understand things have taken a bit of a turn lately but I’m sure you guys can work it out. Love you country brother and don’t let anyone look down on you.
SA even has one of the rare Pagani Zonda Cinque's, wish there were that caliber of cars in GH
Imagine that Chapmans Peak and Franchoek pass drive in a Regera!
More people need to know who Christian is and how astonishing his cars are.
Thomas Richards , no offence but if you don’t know, you don’t matter.
LOL
We know but we aren't as interested as you are.
Agreed
Everybody knows about Koenigsegg in 2020 if you even have 1% car knowledge. Just you dont know LOL
Christian is legendary. The world need more people like him. Seems so down to earth!
What's the meaning of down to earth?
@@saadhabashneh5587 humble
@@saadhabashneh5587 humble my friend
Saad Habashneh it means the opposite of head in the clouds
It is amazing how humility is such an admirable trait. I must say it again...he is the embodiment of a leader.
Netflix needs THIS series!!!! Give the man a show 👏🏾 Best automotive channel on TH-cam by a country mile 🤟🏾
Couldnt agree more
Forget Netflix, here it's free for anyone in the world to watch and be inspired by
@@geehammer1511 that's very true and that's the selling point behind TH-cam. I meant this is one of those episodes that would otherwise feel at home in Netflix
There is a small documentary on his car already in netflix called ‘Apex:The story of hypercar’.
They actually have one documentary on Netflix “Apex (a birth of a hypercar)” It was made in 2016 for the groundbreaking sport-car which was the One:1, but truly there should be a series of the whole aspect of his work, that 90 mins does not fully cover the magical and superior way of him.
Christian is a true inspiration, he is fearless to go his own way and my word it has paid off. Thank you Mr JWW for bringing this to us.
I never get tired of hearing Christian talk about his cars.
the whole time Christian is talkin, im feasting my eyes on the beast thats next to him
Haha so true
You're not feasting your eyes on his shiny egg head?
@@kerimca98 it's a pretty perfect egg
As pure Koenigsegg fan, we all know this is gonna be epic
@Valkyrie 007 oh shit. Didnt feel any but of humour in it.😝
@Valkyrie 007 its late, but happy new year!!;)

I dont think even Bugatti employees would dislike this video. It was truly inspiring

Bugatti>koenigshit
@Joshua Swanson Can you please search for @koenigshit on Instagram his account is funny af and btw records will come and go and but veyron name will go down in history as the car that set the bar for hypercars unlike agera 😉
@Joshua Swanson so you hate me and others just because we are supporting our fav company? :O that's so lame tbh
CVK using MS Paint to create his hyper-car masterpiece is the most gangster thing I've ever heard of.
I'm a few mins into this video and I have to say that I am seriously impressed with the direction that you are taking the channel in, James. Nobody else on the platform other than maybe Manny Koshbin is going to have access to cars like this. But you will be bringing utterly unique content to us with your car access. I am very excited to see the upcoming content and also to watch your channel reach new levels in the automotive community.
Thanks very much for the support 👍🏻
Christian sounds like he would be a fun guy to have a few beers with see what he thinks of other manufacturers (with no cameras around)
😂😂 he'll be talking shit about them
This man is legend 🙏🔥🔥🔥
You're the only youtuber that I send the video straight to my TV to watch. Amazing content and quality is above anything on TV.
Thanks so much buddy!
Koenigsegg is one of the last few brands left that are still pure to their original motif.
Don't be put off by the length, this is worth an hour of anyone's life!
Amazing interview, James, you really bring the best out of CvK. Congratulations on the series, I'm really looking forward to it.
After 15 min i realize this content is pure class. Well done James! :-)
Just listened to the whole episode, I can listen to Christian talk for hours, he is so brilliant and calm haha. I love this brand so much.
People who Disliked the video are employees of Bugatti 🤣🤣
Yash Ghalsasi Greta-Fans and activists.
Nah bugatti employees would appreciate the sheer level of genius that CVK has the people that actually dislike this or typical bugatti fanboys that are just pissy that Koenigseggs outperform their favorite car
Cannot like this video enough!
Unbelievable collaboration James.
Absolutely knocking it out of the park, once again!
Koenigsegg really is one of the most incredible car manufacturers and Christian is always so inspiring with his words and the passion he portrays!
Also as a Tesla fan, I couldn't help but think about the timeline of the two companies in their infancy whilst I watched this video and it struck me when you started talking about records being broken and boundaries being pushed constantly, that this model from Koenigsegg, would have been such an inspiration for Tesla to push through their battles as an upcoming new start manufacturer and succeed.
Then it was clear once I reached the segment on the Regera, just how much impact Tesla has had on CvK's train of thought to create that instant delivery sensation with a proper combustion connected audible.
I love so much the engineering efforts of both these companies and Koenigsegg truly is one of the most inspiring manufacturers right now.
I'm so excited to see the rest of the chronicles! There's no one better to showcase such a story.
Thank you James!
Just finished watching this. Absolutely knocked it out of the park James! Loved the leftover gearboxes joke from Christian. Can't wait for the next episode! Congratulations 🎉
Amazing the Gemera is such a beautiful car and really like Christian a really nice guy.
So pumped right now. Just finished "Apex" on Netflix after JP Kraemer recommended it while giving some insights of "Esser" formerly known as "PACE" the german Koenigsegg dealer.
Thank you so much for giving us this amazing content in such troubled times!
Much love from Germany!
I did watch apex too for the same reason. But of course did know about koenigsegg before. But as I am digging deeper and deeper into the brand I am stunned by the engineering mastermind that CvK is. Truly the best brand lead by the best man.
36 seconds after launch. Here we go!
Get some! 😃💪🏼
How does he carry that massive brain in his head without falling over, wow!!!
The man‘s built like a tank!
His head is aerodynamic as well dude 🤔🤷
Weight reduction
"If you can't slip the tires to top speed you're underpowerd" -Christian von Koenigsegg. 😆👍 i like his mindset!
I'm calling it right now. The end of this series will be a first drive of the Jesko
Penultimate, imho. The last one will be him receiving his Gemera imho
@@Anankin12 That's a bit of a stretch. But anything's possible.
@@Anankin12 His Gemera is a couple of years down the road i suspect ^^
@@fredrikwahlin6905 it is, at least 3 or 4, but no one said how many episodes nor how long the series will last...
@@Anankin12 True true ! and if jww keeps this serries going that long with Egg content, i wont complain ! :)
BTW this is best thing you have ever done on youtube, maybe best thing anyone has done or will do on anymedia.
Christian is the most important man in the automotive industry right now.
As Christian drops the mic in the car game, YOU Mr JWW are dropping the mic in the automotive youtube game! MEGA video and i cannot wait to follow this series!
I remember watching the CCX's first appearence on Top Gear, and the Stig lost control of it and sent it flying into some tires. Jeremy then went on to say that because of that, Koenigsegg took the car away and fitted a rear wing to assist in downforce, because "that was the reason for loss of control". They then brought the car back for a second time, breaking the lap record. Therefore, "Top Gear assisted in the design of the car". Only for Christian to come out and say, in actual fact, the reason for the off was because they hadn't fully prepared the cars suspension. The rear wing was just added as an after-thought. This is what I remember, but if anyone knows more, feel free to add or correct.
Top channel by the way James, I wish you all the success in the world for where this is going. The last time I was this excited about car journalism was in the early days of Evo magazine, and that was 20 years ago!
The suspension setup needed fixing. The wing did help a bit, the Stig felt the body made actual lift behind the bulkheads. The power steering also failed part way (which was when he crashed when it suddenly came back on), also the brakes nearly went to the floor on Lap 1. All those issues were fixed, but it was still wild to drive.
These days Koenigseggs are insanely stable - they've come a very long way in almost every parameter. Zach who owns a Regera though feels that right now all other stuff is perfect -- its the AC that isn't powerful enough, so that should tell you how far they've come. Hopefully they put a dedicated electrical compressor for it in the Gemera.
srinitaaigaura Thanks for that awesome reply, interesting to know 👍
"Unless you can slip your tires at your top speed your car is underpowered."!!!! This must be the greatest statement in the history of the automobile. Christian von Koenigsegg is my hero!!!
This is going to be an epic series!
Christian is the savior of ICE in this ERA. People like him and Mate rimac are the modern day CEOs who have truly build automobile companies from the scratch by the sheer passion they have for fast cars. This series is going to be MEGA. Mr.Jww should start a podcast and talk with such geniuses about the cars and engineering they are putting out. Amazing work James! Keep it up!
I have never seen a 1 hour video on youtube and i have never experienced 1 hour faster than this video! Top job James! Cannot wait to see the rest of the series!
Every information coming out from Christian is Mega! Can't wait to see what's hiding for the future episodes!😍... Now lets continue watching😂😍
I was waiting for this video by the minute. Congrats James on this series.
I never get tired listening to Christian, he is always so passionate.
This is by far, the best automotive channel on youtube.
You just keep on impressing us ! Mind Blown 🤯
I’m so glad this happening!! Koenigsegg is my dream car.
Mr Christian is an absolute genius🤯, if had won two lotteries today i would spend it all on a Koenigsegg. Much love from Zambia🇿🇲 ❤️ :)
Me too!
Class act as usual James.👌👌
Excellent serie! Christian allways such a gentlemen and down to earth! Heja Sverige 🇸🇪! :)
The difference with Koenigsegg is that perfection is the only acceptable norm!
Koenigsegg is above perfection. It needs is own definition.
He's super down to earth and opens to talk about other car manufacturers. Love it!
Friday midnight and I started to watch this and can't stop listening to this Einstein of car manufacturing and industry overall. Absolute appreciation for such brain and will power
That's the first time I heard about that insane TC system they developed..wow,just wow
His legacy will go on for more than a hundred years
This is better than anything I could imagine in any automotive aspect. Can't wait for this Journey and Thanks again for taking us all along for the ride. Fantastic job James!
I have a question for Christian, what about normal people living normal life without millions of dollars, is there gonna be a medium car with normal price having that 3 cylinder engine from Gemera that we can buy as a car enthusiast who love Koenigsegg brand and want to be part of the family and proud of it?
yup. VW Golf.
@@mkprivate7523 bruh
There is a car with a free valve engine but I don’t think it’s available in Europe. But there’s RAW by Koenigsegg, a design study by their design house which is a three seater using the TFG engine.
Oh, an hour long episode! Right, be back later, this isn’t something to watch on my phone, but on a proper tv! 😀
Let's hope that this series culminates with you collecting your very own Koenigsegg Gemera.
That would not be ideal... His delivery is probably years from now! :D would not want to wait that long to get the story of those fabulous cars. ;)
@Kristian von Magius Yeah but maybe a special episode just for his own Koenigsegg.
Honestly,think it would culminate with him specking his car,if he didn't do that already
I think he'll end up driving the press Jesko.
Thats atleast 2 years from now
This was absolutely superb and as I sat watching it, all I could think was - “this should be a Netflix documentary”. Hearing from Christian is incredible, what a generous, kind and open guy. Definitely a true leader in the car industry.
You deserve waaay more Subscribers for this.. So amazing to see you taking your time for doing all of this I cant wait to see the next episode!
Him, Horacio Pagani and Mate Rimac I can listen to for hours talk about their cars
props to sweden for making amazing cars ❤️
Oh man, to be very honest this is the best video of Christian Von Koenigsegg telling us each and every small thing about his journey and the legendary cars; been finding such videos since pretty long. Just love to listen to you both pure enthusiasts, very much motivating & this series gonna be epic. Thanks for making this possible.
I'm a Lamborghini guy. Have been for a while. But, since the last 4 or so years, Koenigsegg has been killing it! Grant it, I'm not looking to hypercars in the Lambo world. I love the simplicity and high performance of the Hurcan Performante and now the EVO.
Still, when it comes to hyper-cars, I haven't seen anyone manufacturer come close to what Koenigsegg has done and continues to do with raising the bar. It's as if they know their power, yet are humble and conscience with it. Not bullies. Christian is a TRUE car guy in that he wants to share the experience. Not just show it off.
I would love to see more on the 9-speed compact gear box. Like James, I keep thinking physics and just am blown away at how phenominal Koenigsegg is with their engineering and tech. Can that happen @MrJww?
Koenigsegg CCGT? Talk to Christian about that. Please.
Id like to know if Christian has a favourite of the Agera RS's and if he keeps any koenigseggs for himself.
He definitely does, atleast he owns a regera and Id be remiss if he didn't possess good chunks of the company's early history
surely has to be the one:1. that car was and still is like the holy grail!
If you had such a successful business wouldn't you save some for yourself? I sure would!
At the start of the video I was not expecting to feel so emotional at the end. I love cars, it’s probably my very favorite thing of this weird thing we call life, and I am so glad this man exists. The things he has done are groundbreaking, and I love the stories and how he discusses the details of his cars. He has shown us what is possible and how beautiful cars can be (both technically as well as visually). I could only hope to own one some day; it would be as much a purchase as an endorsement. I hope they continue to be ever so succesful and do great things. This goes without saying but; LOVE THE SERIES!!! cant wait James :) great content!!!
wow. really thank you so much mr jww and ofcourse christian von koenigsegg for this awesome series.
The fact that he used paint is mind blowing 😂
Hit like for the Greatest mind of the Car world
Been thinking that for a couple of years now. Thinks outside the box.
Fantastic insight, great video. I Love how Christian is so passionate and knowledgeable person about his cars.
Don't usually comment on youtube but You've excelled yourself James, seems like Christian is the most approachable car manufacturer out there and is always interesting and engaging.
Thanks mate!
Also MATE Rimac! 😉
Koenigsegg is just a car for the cameraman to always stay infront of the bugatti top speed ads video clips.
Bruh lol
😂😂😂😂
Incredible start to the series James 👍
Having now finished watching the video, it is clear to see that this series is going to be as good as or better than anything previously produced for TV in the automotive world. The production values, information, and general entertainment are simply outstanding. The Production Bunker content is going to be unreal, and I can't wait for what's in store. A massive congrats to you, James, and of course to your team!
Christian is very capable of deep and technical discussions about his products. It would be awesome to have the interviewer encouraging that by asking follow up questions, and providing his own perspective on the things that Christian is saying. In this interview it felt as though he showed up with a couple broad prompts to get Christian started, and then he didn't contribute anything further. I would love for it to become more of a conversation. I got excited when Christian asked the interviewer a question about his experience with the cars, but was disappointed when the answer was essentially "wow your car is good." Give us some insight into your experience with the car. Help us feel like we understand what it might be like to drive it. Chances are we never will have the opportunity, so help us live vicariously through you.
I'm massively looking forward to the series. Congrats on putting together such a challenging project.
People say Elon is the genius I say yeah he is but have you heard Christian Von Koenigsegg speak?
Elon is not a genius, he has just lots of money to spend on crazy ideas.
Elon is a genius and at tesla work many geniuses. It’s insane.
@@xWinstonski no he's not, his only good idea was PayPal, everything else is just taking credit for his staff, he's also an utter arsehole who thinks he can do and say whatever he wants.
Bam Bam 444 you should read his biography, I think your view about the man will change.
@@xWinstonski nah, Elons parents made lots of money with blooddiamonds, and Elon has lots of money to spend on crazy ideas. Thats all.
He is also a crybaby and a selfish asshole. Everyone can admit that.
There you go. MS Paint is the best tool in the world confirmed.
Great content, as always. Best TH-cam channel partnering up with the most impressive car brand in the world! Love it!
Been patiently waiting for this video! Thanks for bringing us this experience!
The most important part of a car is the nut holding the steering wheel 😜
You ain't kidding!!!
One day, when the money is on my card and I can afford, I want to be a Koenigsegg customer!
What a phenomenal phenomenal idea for a series. I’m so glad you have been able to put this together and I’m excited to watch them all! Cheers!
Thank you for making this video! It is absolutely breathtaking watching this interview with such passion from Christian and you as well. You are one of the best TH-camrs making such videos so informative and exciting to watch!
Christian is the real life Lex Luther.
Christian’s head is more shiner than the car behind him
Funny joke. Got any more jokes about hos disease?
This is so AWESOME!!! I swear Christian is a mad scientist mixed with a genius engineer mixed with a mafia boss lol
One hour? seemed like only 15 minutes, Christian is inspiring beyond belief and so dynamic to listen to, your questions and structure were really well thought out, well done James you are taking TH-cam Motoring Videos to a completely new level, class journalism. Best wishes from New Zealand.
I'd subscribe a second time to this channel if I could...
Ha ha thanks!
By the time this comment was made 26 people with parkinson's disease accidentally clicked the dislike button...

Boy oh boy is this ever a cool concept fir a video series JWW. I’m really looking forward to watching this one.
Warm regards as always.
Thanks buddy - enjoy!
Christian is my hero. It's no coincidence his name translates to Christ King... 🤣😜
Pls no blasphemy
Christian means christian, nothing else.
Calm down.. Its a joke, a play on words. Christian is short for Christ.... You following me??... Koenigsegg means King... Just an observation... Now, go away.
I always love the videos where Christian explains his cars and tells his stories. I can´t wait for the other episodes to come, absolute top work james and all of the team at Koenigsegg and The Production Bunker!!
I wouldn’t normally watch a YT video longer than 20 mins but could listen to CvK for hours. Great insight into a great, innovative company and person. Loved the brand and this video. Keep them coming.
Best video I’ve seen for ages. One hour flashed by. So excited for the rest of the series. Well done James.
Fantastic stuff. I could listen to Christian for hours. I do think he is a genius.
Know doubt about that, and he is a true visionary too! Absolutely love his cars!
this is awesome content James, thank you so much. long time lurker here since your first speciale video.
I think this is my third full watch. I could listen to Christian talk about his cars forever. I'd love to see the engineer he mentioned get interviewed as well. Brilliant minds of our time.
One of the best one hour till date...Love to see the detailed aspects of One:1 with all the technicalities and drive along video...Thankyou for making these series...&...lots of love 😇
