- From the nation that gave us some of the safest cars on the roads comes the Keonigsegg with a rather safety-defying top speed. Its brutally fast as Jeremy testifies as he tries to reach its top speed - a staggering 245mph. But is there actually enough track to go that fast?

Hmm, most enlightening!

underrated comment
Ahaha HAHAHHAHA haha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL I think he said, "It might look a bit daft but we put up some markers to remind me to brake, then I went after the Zonda’s record.”
That sound engineer/editor really did a poor job in this episode.
LEL
Ah, the good old days when 600 horsepower was “colossal”
And the monsterous top speed of 245 mph and the 0 to 60 in 3 seconds dead which was amazing as well.😁😁
@@antcunningham1997 Still are in my opinion
To be fair for a production car, it's nothing to be sneezed at. 400bhp is usually enough to give the average person a fright if they aren't used to quick cars.
It's still pretty big considering a typical road-going car is around 200-300. Just that we've become spoiled by these 1000 bhp monsters from certain supercar manufacturers that 600 no longer sounds impressive.
@@antcunningham1997 these stats are still amazing, wtf you all talking about? if you'd ever have driven a car with 500hp+, you'd know better
Oh early 2000's top gear, How I miss not being able to hear a DAMN thing over the horrible volume of the music.
tormen76 probably. I dont hear this issue anymore in the more recent challenges.
+Moses Cen The original track had copyrighted music
I guess you never watched those episodes because thats not how they aired
It is how they aired.
alot dont, i like some tracks i saw on tv, but on youtuve they removed them, yeah copyright issues,
Sweden’s attempt to enter the supercar world...
*THEY SUCCEEDED*
Amazing how much better their cars have become and how many more things they've reinvented. The Regera is as stable as a rock.
The hypercar world xd
@@srinitaaigaura That's the thing though, Jeremy mentions how it's their attempt to enter the supercar world, but it seems to be more of a platform for the many automotive ideas that Christian had, which he figured would be easier to implement in something that was low production, changing things in increments along the way.
It truly is amazing seeing how far they've come in such a short time, I just hope this COVID deal doesn't sink the Company under...
🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪👍🙂
@@vtr0104 well he is going to double the amount of employes and the size of the building
I really liked when Jeremy said this: 3:18
We put up some markers to... [unintelligible]
WHAT???
Tanner Nickelson that was the joke :D
Yup he said:
"In mot diputee dum, en wie cott sum mogul, dennai witten un teel de win denver"
Best quote ever by Jeremy in Top Gear.
“It must have been dark, but we put up some markers to remind us.” - Jeremy Clarkson
I hope they fired the sound editor.
John514 They shot a pink slip at him, but missed and hit Clarkson instead...
+unr3al Gaming lets be honest they both are canned
Home of the Mad All kidding aside, Clarkson simply didn't have his contract renewed, he wasn't actually fired, so there's always a possibility of him returning to BBC programming, but that's doubtful now that he has a new show. As for the sound guy... I'd wager he's still employed. I know the original lead producer left the show to go with Clarkson & co., but I think the other people are staying.
unr3al Gaming everyone knows he was "fired" because of his punch, yes technically he wasn't fired but they didn't renew his contract for obvious reasons
Home of the Mad Yeah, I just want to point out that theoretically he can go back to the BBC at some point, but he likely won't now that he has a deal with Amazon.
All these years later, I think it's still an understatedly pretty car. Sleek, subtle lines, no flashy tail, no gaudy air in-takes, just aerodynamics and smoothness.
Yeah but the CCX looks better imo.
The CC8S really is a timeless design. Fast forward today, Koenigsegg proved it by bringing the new CC850, still looking sleek, refined and timeless like the CC8S.
the Tommy Kaira ZZii reminds me of a Koennigseg I dont know why
I think it’s aged well tbh
Yes
Some say he's gone deaf. Others have said that he was born in a wind tunnel. And has had a v-10 engine screech in his ears for hours. All we know is that he's called the sound editor.
laughed so hard i almost died
Ahh, the days when supercars had manual gearboxes...
and..?
and..?
"and...?" well this car is not for justin bieber or paris hilton with supercars used in D mode automatic like aventador or slr mclaren
FEGTTTSDH
technically speaking Koenigseggs have AMTs, not automatic transmission.
Timo E Available transmissions are a Cima 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automated manual.. is MANUAL the CCX
Some say he has a natural-sized tattoo an ear on each side of his head. And even if he suddenly woke up with hearing aids, he'd still ruin an entire video. All we know is he's called the sound editor.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Do u like coke
@@kookokooko-xg5uo I like pepsi.
Some say he has no ears.
And that if he woke up with hearing aids he'd still screw this clip up.
All we know is, he's called the sound editor.
Some say that he copied,
and that he still managed to do it worse than the original

This comment.

Joel hahahah timeless
Good job on the sound. It's never easy to silence Clarkson.
Great Job indeed
Koenigsegg's so fast
Top gear did a review
The sound editor had a stroke
Now i have tinnitus too
I like how some people compare Hennessey and Koenigsegg as if they are comparable.
Koenigsegg makes bespoke cars while Hennessey is just a tuning company.
On paper, Hennessey venom is very good car but it is just roided up Lotus exige.
The only part of the venom that is still a lotus is the dashboard.
bossniper15 "For road use, the car is registered as a Lotus Exige (modified) and is not a series production car." src:Wikipedia
*drops the mic*
That is true, however, the bently contental gt should be registered as a modified Audi because it has parts that say audi on it. And thank you for citing your sources, it shows you aren't just arguing to argue.
+bossniper15 might be late for this comment but if its an audi so it should be called bentley .......(whatever that model of audi it is). no right? so your argument isnt valid. hennessey tuned things. hennessey raptor, hennessy camaro, hennessey mustang, etc. HENNESSEY DOESNT BUILD CARS FROM SCATCH. unlike bentley or what company. maybe because audi and bentley is owned by volks? correct me if im wrong. so of course they will share the same parts. but please hennessey just tunes the cars. although I salute them because they're really good at it.
+bossniper15 porsche cayenne has parts that say VW on it but that doesn't mean the cayenne should be registered as a modified vw. Same goes with bentley/audi/lotus, whatever it is
The sound issues on these older videos come from having to change copyrighted music to royalty-free content.
oh good to know, i had no idea..
Skye this was uploaded by the the top gear TH-cam channel, they own the copyright. It’s a sound editing mistake.
@@nono-xw6qd It's not lol, the licenses for the music were specifically for TV, not youtube, hence why they had to use different music.
Still irrelevant. You take out the old music, add the new one, balance out the volume of the music against jeremy’s mic and you’re done. This is a very bad job.
@@mc495150 This video was uploaded in 2010. They started fixing the videos in 2011 and said it was a mix of poor recording and music, imagine having to record a giant mumbling ape in a loud car.
That music in the background is awful.
+r3h4n786 Everything about the audio is awful.
nothing wrong with the music, its great. it was just badly edited to the video.
"Background"
Yw with the 600th like
What do yall expect? The guy is deaf
I think this Koenigsegg looks sexier than Agera... The styling will never get dull or outdated in my opinion. Just like Paganis, the McLaren F1 and few others.
It's even more sexier than the Regera.
CCR is my personal favorite
Yep! This still the best looking Koenigsegg ever designed.
Regera looks best!
Jasko Hodzic pagani is still a legend your weed man must be driving Kia
I love THE BBC, Giving jobs to the disabled, in this case, its a deaf sound engineer :D
+Glibzer You sir, have won the internet.
i agree the music is sooooo loud...you cant hear jeremy a thing
so true ahaha
in case you didnt know..its sort of a long running joke on bbc top gear youtube videos. it normally goes something like.
some say... he produces actual bees wax in his ears instead of earwax, and that he came out of the womb wearing beats by dre headphones...all we know is, hes called the bbc sound editor.
The Tuc Shop a
teacher: The listening test isn't that hard you'll be fine
the listening test: 3:18
Ah the old top gear, when the editor was deaf
2:25 It was 4 mph shy of the estimated figure, but still became the worlds fastest car, beating the McLaren F1's 11 year unbeaten record.
The McLaren F1 is still the fastest naturally-aspirated production vehicle ever made. I think that’s an accomplishment in itself, the fact it’s the fastest car you can get that doesn’t use any form of forced induction, like a turbo or a supercharger. It’s just an angry BMW V12.
someone boot the guy who mixed the sound in this xD
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Very educational episode, taught me the about what sound engineers do
Who’s here after Jesko release in Geneva 19’
2008aq9999 that car is just on another level
No one...😁
yep makes this first car look like a baby really, with all that aerospace alloys used in every part of the build, its most properly that fastest production supercar ever built, i really think they will never top that, yet corvette hammer head did 260 miles per hour back in 1988, lol :) Now just think of the corvette with current technology and alloys to be used, any of the main car manufacturers could do it, its a matter of costs v's sales, which FORD and Chevy are not prepared to go into full production of any supercar to beat any of the main supercar manufacturers etc. :) its a special market for those mega rich, even the jesko is already sold out pre orders were over 95 units just at the show they had only 20 odd units left and by this time they would be sold, so in less than a month they sold over 120 cars at over 3 million dollars each in euros as well, so over 150 million dollars worth of sales in the first month. :)
This was the first Top Gear I watched and what got me into it, just finished watching Jeremy cry because the Grand Tour is done, at least as it stands
You are so late then bri
The only car company which managed to make a hypercar which rivals the Veyron Super sport out of tree hugging bio fuel, incredible, just incredible.
Still accurate... they very well may get up to 330 mph in one model they release soon...
@@captainpoptarts Not to forget that Bugatti uses double the cylinders than the Koenigsegg
@@jeff-gl1yx And double the turbochargers as well.
This doesn’t even seem like that long ago, yet now we already have a modern remake of the car, the CC850. It’s amazing how far Koenigsegg has come
That s weird isn’t it. 😂 good ol days
Music (in order):
Sabres of Paradise - Clock Factory
Philip Glass - Vessels
Deakin Scott - Hell Bent
Urchin - Shitewrecked
Sweat Invaders - Dun N Dusted
Hope this helps anybody
That car is savage. 240 MPH in 2003. Imagine how poor quality the tires, brakes, suspension, chassis, and rest of the components were compared to now. Even the Stig had many issues with the CCX, the brakes and power steering kept messing up.
Ahhh I miss these three. Top gear will never be the same. The nostalgic vibes you get when coming back to view this classic top gear videos is real.
PLS PLS PLS Top Gear, test the Agera R, or did u piss off Koenigsegg, as I never hear u mnention that car, its like it doesnt exist for u, this car is stone age compared to the new ones
they crashed a koenisegg. I dought they are gonna lend another one any sooner...
Samath Lokuge They got that same Koenigsegg back very quickly to set another lap, and got credit for an optional "Top Gear Spoiler" that you could get on the CCX since that time.
+unr3al Gaming a little known fact, that spoiler was always an option, even before the Top Gear review ;)
DoMw94 They had spoilers available as an optional extra, but in the equipment list after this program aired, one of the optional spoilers available was listed as the 'Top Gear Spoiler'. I'd imagine they'd be standard now on cars like the Agera or the One.
Fairly confident that Keonigsegg never has and never will lend them a car again after they crashed the CCX.
the sound is awesome here; amazing effect with his voice fading into the pounding over-set music, like a weird trip lol
Koenigsegg CC8S on Top Gear Runway: 280 km/h
Koenigsegg Agera RS on public road: 284 mph.
Man, cars have evolved in 15+ years.
I'm surprised he only got to 280kph. The Murcielago lp640 got to 332 kph
@@JGreen444 Lambo has 4WD though so it's more stable
Jacob Greenway Oh, this thing was capable of at at least 380. It’s just that the runway is - strangely enough - too short.
I remember watching this when I was about 11 and then rewatching it about three times over because of that amazing engine sound.
but mostly the sound of that incredibly loud music
@3:56
"Supercharger whacking the fuel in!"
...
Superchargers do what now?
it's that revolutionary swedish engineering
The BBC needs to whack hearing aids into the sound editor's ears
3:17 these words from jeremy clarkson touched my heart and changed my entire cosmotheory
They should test this again on the fast and furious 6 runway.
XD
Awful sound editing.
That day when Jeremy was a legend while giving a unique presentation on supercars.
Jeremy presenting the car at 2:20
The Veyron: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Why are you wearing a Che shirt?
Clarkson* well because *music and car overpowers audio*
At the end of the day, Koenigsegg crushed all the famous car brands when it comes to super cars. The Jesko destroys all competition. Because the owner is a huge car nerd, not a traditional corporate owner. He didn't rule with a whip, he encouraged new ideas from all his people. Because he's in the first generation of the ownership. He still has all the passion about the car, not about making money.
1600HP on that small engine, with a gearbox that isn't really a gearbox anymore, that is a hybrid, with that small weight, well... it's insane. They crushed them all. Koenigsegg and his team of engineers are pure geniuses.
The Jesko is electric right?
9 years later the Koenigsegg is still, in your best Jeremy voice, the fastest road car, in the world.
0:36 Lamborghini, Zonda, Ferrari. Lol shouldnt he say Pagani instead?
im here after the announcement of that new cc850 or so. forgot the name. This car will forever be my favorite Koenigsegg
In 2042 they are launching it again
What a timeless design this Koenigsegg was
This is why I loved this more than the Bugatti
So... "König" meaning king in German and "segg" meaning ass in Hungarian, this is the least I expected from this car.
Kings egg?
purplehazenilsp Kings cliff.
king jeoffrey?
musiKars Heh heh
SomethinWild kings ass, maybe as in the car is a "throne?"
What's slightly mad is that this was among the most powerful cars in the world with 655bhp back in 2004... but in 2014 they'd evolved it into the One:1 which is over TWICE as powerful!
A guy in texas put that top speed to the test back when this car came out and he made it to the top speed its crazy that he still holds the 1# highest speed for a ticket to this day.
The most amazing part about this car is Jeremy actually looks like he fits in there!
At 3:18 heres what Jeremy actually said: It might look a bit daft but we put up some markers to remind me to brake, then I waited until the wind had died down and then I went after the Zonda’s record.
I got this from the original episode in which Jeremy can actually be heard.
i can barely hear what he's saying because some stupid product of centurys of incest has put silly music over the original audiotrack of the video way too loud.
Check out at the one:1 guys, it's amazing. One hp per kilo! No joke.
Check out the regera
check out the Fiat 600!
check out the skoda octavia
+Aristillus1 That thing is amazing.
They pissed koenigsegg off by making the Ccx the first car to ever crash on the test track
This is one of the reasons that I'm proud to be swedish
That car is my favourite car in the world sweden has also given us some cool volvos and saabs and pewdiepie the sweeds rock
@@deleted_account3 Sabaton is another.
Love the way clarkson stuffs a few tech things up.
Like the way he always says torque's not torque, and which kind ftlbs or Nm or horsepowers.
My new favourite, "supercharger whacking the fuel in".
Thats not what superchargers do.
Some say he was born deaf and that he was given a hearing aid for his first birthday. All we know is he's called the top gear sound editor
The most under rated comment on this video 🤣🤣
Here after the cc850 reveal and wow, the looks are similar but man have they come far in the field of power and transmission!
This is probably one of the best reviews Top Gear has ever done. One of the best cars they've ever tested, too. And I'm not saying it's the fastest. But it's just such an awesome, insane car, better than the Zonda, Gumpert, Enzo, and even the Veyron, if you ask me.
The Koenigsegg CC8... I loved this in PGR. Badass car to this day.
cars don't really stop being badass with age, let's be honest here.
In 2004, koenigsegg had a V8 making 650bhp.
In 2020, koenigsegg has an inline 3 cylinder making 600bhp. That's some evolution 🙌🏽
This episode was recorded in 2004 they just uploaded it in 2010.
@@honk_5796 thanks. Updated.
The Swedes are so so good at, well, everything. This car is phenomenal for all the reasons Jeremy gave, but how on earth have they slayed every other supercar on their first attempt? I also like it because it's Swedish - it has a different energy to cars from other countries.
I just realized Jeremy can drive his ass off!
_"Supercharger whacking the _*_fuel_*_ in."_ 😂
The audio in this video is atrocious!
I love the styling. It has a cool minimal look sorely missing over the top and flashy super cars.
Legend has the BBC is now selling these videos as hearing tests.
245MPH = 394.28928 kilometers per hour.
It's amazing how good the camerawork is for this show, and how terrible the sound editing was for this on youtube.
There’s no problem with the sound. I have this on DVD and it sounds perfectly fine. It’s purely a problem with the TH-cam upload.
I remember my childhood, I remember the days when Great Britain actually had a proper winter, spring, summer and winter.
Same for Canada bro.
How about autumn?
Michigan having the same problem
2:13 clarkson yelling because he could tell the sound editor was drowning him out
This first Koengsegg( CC8S) with just "655" horsepower (witch was record then) is the ultimate dream car(in battle with Gumpert Appolos spacey design & Spyker C12 Zagato classy style, cus its should be a mix of very rare brand but not to unknown, inexperienced either) ever. Docent matter that their are other faster car models(& may even more pricey) today. I would chose that model anyway(also its the original).
cute sound of that engine, 02:08
i still like the simply beautiful design of the ccx better than the cheesy agera or the k one....even if its outdated...
Ccx looks alright
I really love the original Koenigsegg CC. There's something about it. Then again I'm very fond in general of 2000s supercars.
3:23 screenshot would make cool poster
Yes, TopGear, please test the 1:ONE. And find a new sound guy. And chose a 'Stig' who won't throw it across the airfield and through some old tyres... Maybe that's why Koenigsegg are a bit ... hesitant to send their best cars to be on TopGear.
This was from a time the McLaren F1 was still the current benchmark for top super car. The hypercar of the 2000s were still emerging.
Has anybody looked at his shirt
We want Koenigsegg Agera R or One:1 !! Like!
alvaroH3 Regera pls
It's funny looking back on this now and seeing how far above any other competitor they've really advanced..

Hopefully it will be similar to Top Gear.
Give an award to the person who designed the background music.
I wanna see the damn Agera R already
Who is here after the CC850 reveal?
I love when the music is louder than commentary.
0:25 why are there birth control pills on the dash?
Nothing like wearing a shirt with a picture of a mass murderer on it on national tv.
I hope he wore that as a joke imao
its a fashion statement now lmao
Oh, I thought that was Mickey Mouse...

Gotta love hoe Jeremy is one of the biggest personalities on TV and wears a t-shirt to work...for driving a Koeniggsegg.
At the time 0 to 60 in 3.0 seconds dead and a devestating top speed of 245 mph and a monstrous 655 brake horsepower now that is insane. I beileve that overtook the mclaren f1 as the fastest car in the world at that time.
thumbs down because those music was added and totaly ruins the vid
Totally agree. Also this was around the point when Jeremy Clarkson became an arrogant pillock.
Chris Short and then the show got even better!
MrGlorifiedCake And now is pretty much sh*t.
+royraiden Thankfully, the team are making their own show for Amazon Prime :D
it still looks beautiful!
Yeah!
Eric Rodrigues Nope😂
Ohh yes still nice in 2018
CC8S to CCXR still are my dreamcars, not the Agera :)
This is a Koenigsegg CC8S (Competition Coupe 8-cylinder [V8] Supercharged), and this particular model is chassis #004, being the 4th of 6 CC8S models (4 of 6) ever made, therefore also the 4th Koenigsegg built.
6:27 nail in tire
swedish proud :D
Would love to see Clarkson take the latest Eggs for a spin, say like the CC850 or the Jesko.
3:20 is when you can hear clarkson speaking
