@@aflahmabruk2826 well that goes for your life too xd
This is why I love Koenigsegg. So much engineering and doing things others just don’t. Not to mention Christian so involved in every aspect. 🔥
Right! He’s involved in everything and in all the videos. He’s also such a down to earth approachable guy.
i think others cant ...
@@pooya.89 i mean their competitors probably can like bugatti and pagani
Exactly ! Love that
@@pooya.89 They can, but they rather push agendas than actually make good, fast, light cars.
Other manufacturers:we have the best technology
Koineggsegg:hold my beer😂
😂
Other manufacturers:we have the best technology
also other manufacturers: CVT it is
😂😂😂😂
Customer: How crazy can I make my Koenigsegg?
Koenigsegg: Yes
Koenigsegg: Manual with clutch, Auto or auto with sequential paddle shifters?
Customer: yes
The customer gets something completely unique for a price. The company gets some help developing new tech. Win win
yeah that Dubai owner is an absolute madlad to say here is my "5mil car, chop it up and make some Frankenstein Koenigsegg insane project that i wont get back for years." clearly he understands what it means to help push innovation and cutting edge ideas in the petrol head world
@@breakupgoogleIs the owner the guy from the FIA and McLaren?
@@japcarjunkieFIA president
@@japcarjunkie i have no idea. they just mention a guy in passing.
@@breakupgooglesure it's the Saudi King lol
*_Chimera_* is the most suiting name I could ever imagine this car having.
Chimera, in Greek mythology, is a fire-breathing monster resembling a lion in the forepart, a goat in the middle, and a dragon behind.
This is peak automotive engineering.
And peak naming schemes!
the term chimera is often used to refer to an animal made of parts from other animals, which like you said its because of the greek monster which the name comes from.
@@unkindled6410 yeah. Who would have thought that the amount of fantasy animes I watched when I was younger would give me some “useful” knowledge?
Fire breathing ?! .... did a Koenigsegg catch on fire recently ?
@@Mike-1000 If that Koenigsegg had some ferrari part on it, could be.
This is what dreams are made of. Koenisegg is on a level of it's own.
It’s one of the craziest drives I’ve ever had!
Will people go back in 50 years and conclude this was peak performance with manual gearbox?
100%
No
The 90s senna f1 car was manual
Yes, because it beats every other system at everything
Peak performance is relative to the time.
What an amazing car!
Can’t wait until the fleet has an Egg in it!
This thing would kill your McLaren!? lol
Just don't let Dave drive it
@@chicago_race_engines7538this thing would step and spit on the Mclaren
Properly
Christian really be like: yeah it's a neat that we combined 3 legendary cars and all but more importantly WE ADDED A CUP HOLDER!!!😂
I love his enthusiasm for cup holders! 😅
As a Swede, I’ll never stop being proud of Koenigsegg.
I’ll also never stop regretting not applying for work for them back in the early 2000’s
It uses to be my dream to work for Koenigsegg
As a human I feel the same.
Not that hard to get to work their as long as you qualify for and position.
@@felixarkang5414 there*
Of course it isn’t. I could’ve, back in the day. But it’s way too late now. A house and a kid keeps me up north.
I love those moments when the driver is completely gobsmacked about the functionality and then Christian`s grin on the passenger seat,
being happy what he and his amazing team have accomplished. Mohammed Bin Sulayem: "Can we do this *and* this *and* then *this* ??" Christian: "Yes."
KOENIGSEGG needs this transmission in future models, with mass production numbers. It is too heartbreaking for the perfect engine/transmission combo to just be a one off. The world needs to experience this.
I believe they will have it
They will…
How Come..
Mass Production for 5 mil U$D a piece..
Not everyone can't afford..
Most of us mortals can't even afford a 100K Tesla, could you imagine 5 million dollars automobile..
@@ingodwetrustdellaware-inc8322 I do believe they talked about making an "affordable" car, I'm guessing to compete with mid tier supercar brands. They've also been successfully scaling in production units with each model release. ~70 Agera, 125 Jesko and 300 Gemera! There's hope!
The transmission itself is probably worth $100K BY ITSELF. Just in materials and assembly time alone. But if it was possible to downsize it to only have a third of the torque capacity, then you could POSSIBLY get it to under $20K. Still an expensive transmission, but it would be much more feasible.
Surprisingly this comment section is full of positive comments, not even bots! That’s proof that everyone loves koenigsegg!!
Cristian should get a nobelprice for what KOENIGSEGG has done for car innovation the last decade WOW👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I actually thought about this kind of Frankenstein Egg!! can't believe it actually exists!!!! this is literally automotive perfection.
the first frankenstein that look beautiful 😊
It's a 50 years advanced mechanism lol
Silverstone f1 Race just finished, was awesome, came to TH-cam with low expectations and this masterpiece shows up
Literally grinning through the whole video. Christian and team are absolute legends.
after watching this 3x, I can confirm this is a wet dream. my god, what a machine. thank you James, for putting together this fantastic experience!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MrJWW enjoyed is an understatement!
Man, nobody can compete with KOENIGSEGG.
now that's how you make a car skyrocket in value
$25M easy
It probably cost a few dollars to rebuild the car.
Since the owner is most likely never going to sell it is literally priceless. I can imagine offers of tens of millions😅
@@stealthhtm23 I'd double that. This car, ORIGINALLY, was like $4M. There's probably a further $4-5M in modifications. But its status ALREADY makes it worth $25M. With it being a wholly unique car, I'd wager it'll be worth closer to $50M in about 30 years.
@@spdcrzy sky's the limit, really
I think no one expected this. Bugatti has been teasing us with its new Tourbillon. And then you have Koenigsegg 💀 just dropping this, destroying everyone else, again.
It's 1 of 1
everytime bugatti drops a car koenigsegg is like "haha thats cute watch this" then drops a mind blowing car
That bagatti tourbillion is not even fast enough only run a top speed of 277mph 😂
Probaly the only supercar company where you can UPGRADE your super car!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
And upgrade BIG TIME!
You can do that with mclaren MSO too…but koenigsegg is on a different tier 😂😂😂
Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Pagani, Bugatti, Koenigsegg all offer special one-off projects for their high-end clientele. Reminds me of modern day coach-building.
that´s it!!! Mr. mohammed is the enviest man in HISTORY by all petrolheads. what a car
Brutal reality...
Christian is the greatest automotive genius of the 21st century, him and his team have single handedly taken on every major manufacturer and WON.
Im a friend of his son and i can tell you he will not disappoint (if! but hopefully when) he eventually takes over hahaha
It's a frankensegg... it's also sick as hell.
Christian is the man. I'll probably never get to own one or even see one, but for 12 years now I have drooled at them. This takes it to another level. The Agera body is perfection and now with a manual.
16:55 that’s amazing 🤩 a literal unicorn masterpiece
This is the greatest one off car of all time. Nowhere else can you get 3 different gearbox experiences in one car, with 1600 BHP. Unreal
Guys, we're witnessing automotive history, Christian will go in the history books as one of the geniuses of his time. Appreciate and enjoy every second of this because it's something more than special. Thank you Christian for this, and James for sharing it so passionately with us.
You definitely deserve more recognition for this!
Now I am sure that early on Christian realized your way of presenting and engaging with questions and enthusiasm meshed well, yet it is still a thing to behold how generous he is with you. Definitely an accomplishment to befriend a living legend in your field.
Indeed they are a wonderful family we have built a great relationship over the years!
@@MrJWW I watched yours and Top Gears video on this. Both are amazing pieces of journalism, but you friendship with Christian just delivers that extra bit of emotion.
@@MrJWW Now you are replying to me super awesome. I am an American living in Israel hope to visit England one day and meet you keep up the awesome work been watching since that month they tried to dog you for that stupid GR Yaris drama or whatever that was
I just smiled through the whole video. That is one happy James:) What a machine.
Truly mechanical engineering art 😮
If Christian was born in the 1400, he would've been accused of witchcraft because what😭🔥
Inspiring levels of engineering!
This is proof of a company that loves their product.
Wow this guy and his team are just on another level absolutely insane. Amazing as always James great video.
I think it's time for a petition for Koenigsegg manual f1and a manual LMP car now 😭😭
What a GLOROIOUS machine. The highly skilled engineers at team Koenigsegg remind me of skilled artists from the Renaissance and this is their latest commissioned masterpiece. Wow!
Didnt even realize the chimera name lol. To me Agera is easily their best design.
I've never heard any manufacturer willing to do this kind of project, I mean, it never happened before, taking an older model chassis fitting multiple latest technology into it from multiple currently available model and creating a whole amazing package. Koenigsegg really a brand that make dreams come true, imagination is the limit, if this kind of project is possible to be done, the future is bright for any kind of opportunities for Koenigsegg. this is truely another level. no one expecting Chimera to be born. well done.
James it's amazing to see the relationship between Koenigsegg and you grow to the level it's become. To also get to experience these unicorns of automotive masterpieces must blow your mind.
Thanks so much
Koenigsegg is just on another level🔥🔥🔥
This video made me happy. The Agera is my absolute favourite car ever, and seeing this "monster" refreshed with the Jesko engine and the CC850 gearbox is incredible. Amazing work!
Just imagine the driving experience on a wide open Saudi highway or a track day... Absolutely mental! One of the reasons I love Koenigsegg so much is Christian seems like he really cares about the whole driving experience. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to ride in or even drive a Koenigsegg... A guy can hope lol
Once again Koenigsegg has accomplished something remarkable. The engineers again have proved that they are the best in the world. What a incredible achievement and an amazing machine
I think it's time for Koenigsegg to make a Formula One team. Period.
They don't have the money for that
WEC is realistic, f1 - too much money
@vanarnoco6600 I'm pretty sure sponsors will seriously contemplate 😂😂😂
Yes...I'm sure they can raise it
@@vanarnoco6600 there is a long queue of people who would back them considering that their customers are millionaires and billionaires
Hands down the coolest egg, i just wish it had a crazy spec to match
Christian must be very proud of his team. Really love this transmission, also the build overall is superb.
Not surprised that M. Vöcks was on the team developing this masterpiece, was just the other day watching a video of the Volvo T6 Amazon he built that Guy Martin owns now 😊
“Sell your house, sell your kids, bribe the accountant and get yourself the Chimera”
masterpiece 👌
4:30 The camo on the rear bumper reflector is sick.
I had to sub, your content is so good. Long time DDE fam member, keep up the great work
thats fire
Love your unique style, never change!
Wow; wow; wow and...um...WOW! Every time this company blow my mind and I'm not in the driving seat! I don't think I've ever seen you so thrilled. Smiles Per Gallon? More like Grins per Metre! I love the genius on display here, and Christian's enthusiasm and total familiarity with every product his company make is equally thrilling. I mean, how many other CEOs are so directly involved at this level? Here we have a company not only prepared to take on bespoke projects but smashing the boundaries of automotive engineering while they're about it! Brilliant. A great video, James.
Now this is a true Koenigsegg One of 1, literally. Or should I say One from 3 😂
3 in 1 lmao
@@hugo-pg5tvhaha yes 3 in one is the right name! 😂
@@tomasthonell5445 shampoo be like lmao
Woooow I've got no words
You just used your words 👏 👏 👏.
Really love the Koenigsegg, it was so weird and very unique when it combine 3 types of gear system in a car, auto, semi auto and manual
What an insane amount of engineering just for one of, hats off for Koenigsegg and all of their team for making cars like this. JWW another great video
Thanks for experiencing this for us James. What a piece of engineering marvel.
😂😂😂 Mr Von Koenigsegg was not joking when he said, ll; we can build you anything, even a helicopter, depending on your budget
Wow that is 🔥…. (Too soon… I know) but dang that is a perfect combo all in one package.
Amazing James 😱😱😱😍
Man that goes hard
I've been asking my self if all 3 variants of the gearbox would work in one car
And here it is,good job Koenigsegg!....
Christian von Koenigsegg is THE msd scientist!
amazing video!👍🙏
Great video from Portugal
Chimera is the perfect name for this beast
Koenigsegg will always be Koenigsegg👻👻🔥
Love It Thanks:)
Love these two persons on camera! Christian and James are so passionated and technical. Could listen to them for hours just chatting. Marbelous manufacturing in this town Ängelholm where i also live. Love pulling up to the gas station next to a Koenigsegg refueling 😊
Ok, I have to go to work
I can't watch
Yet.
Christian is a Legend ❤❤
No words. No words I can say will portray what this is.
I think I have somewhat of a good explanation tho.
Koenigsegg is the result of when there's no religion, no politics, no bullshit. Just pure "Let's do it".
Never seen you so geeked out ! Love it!
Ok, I have to go to work
I can't watch
Yet
Its sunday... dont work...
@@tuclance ever hear of shift work? lol
"I'm sorry to interrupt" - I was thinking, you're most likely the first car enthusiast who has ever said this to Christian von Koenigsegg 😅 But my second thought was: hey, looks more like these two guys became friends. Man, what a journey! And the Chimera is an unbelievable wonder of engineering. Thanks for the show!
"By the grace of Sweden what have you created" 😂❤
Wow! The experience of the drive must be incredible. Thanks for the video.
Dr Koenig & Mr Segg? Or Dr Frankensteinegg?
😅
@21:21 thank you we need that
Making the impossible possible again and again! Amazing! Congrats!
Absolutely amazing! A true masterpiece. Brilliant engineering.
i said it before ... CVK is 100 years ahead of this times ...
No it’s just ahead of the game, they aren’t bending physics……yet.
can i get a Golf R Mk 8.5?
That’s just beyond extraordinary.
Wow love the content.
Isn't oil money great 😂😂😂
Frankenstein Egg 😂😂😂
Ever since I seen the CC8S I have been in love with Koenigsegg cars. This car is absolutely stunning between the looks and the tech inside of it. I hope to one day get to see a Koenigsegg in person and would probably absolutely die if I ever got to ride in one. Great video sir.
The sound is so good!!!
Wow 🤯 super awesome
Mind blowing❤
Savage!!!
You recently said you miss your old TDF, but what now? This has been one of your best videos yet, and there has been many mind blowing ones so far. Thanks for sharing this!
incredible video dude!
Perfection.
