He makes the rest of the car industry, apart from Mate Rimac pretty much, look like buffoons. Why does it take CvK to come up with all these logical solutions? The gearbox was an employee though. And that shows, CvK can inspire others to create at his level.
Which is extra crazy, because it's turbo charged. Only Mr Christian Von Koenisegg can make a Turbo V8 that can stand against naturally aspirated screamers like the new Corvette Z06 or the Ferrari 458
The thing about Christian is that he always improve, not like other brands that make 6 versions of 1 car and they all have 5 hp of difference each, but Christian break records and limits with each car, what a real man and a company should strive to, improvements.
Other brands have massive restrictions and many variables to consider when creating standard cars. They have to make them safe, economical, attractive looking, etc etc but most importantly, affordable; contrary to what you're saying, they do all this whilst constantly improving what's on offer compare a Ford, BMW, or VW from now and 20, or even 10 years ago and they have come on leaps and bounds. Christian is not bound by these restrictions. I'm not taking anything away from Christian, I'm just saying you can't really compare a hypercar company with your average car manufacturer.
@@The_Situation only thing I'd agree with you on is affordability. They worry about every other thing you mentioned. Though it may not be as economical with it's twin turbo v8 as say a prius, every car they make is also tuned to run on bio fuel. As for safety, they always try to get their cars homologated for every country and standard. And the carbon fibre monocoque is a lot more sturdy than you'd think (though it would be a shame to crash it). And as a hypercar producer they obviously have to worry about the styling of their vehicles
@@The_Situation It doesnt say anything about regular cars. Im sure he meant other supercars and he is right there. Take the Pagani Zondas.many models almost looking the same and a few hp more or less.
@@erikbergstrom258 We're looking at Lamborghini and McLaren and even Ferrari now. At this rate, the latest Huracan will still be a thing in 2060 and McLaren will still be using the same old V8 and the same headlights in their 965 LT maybe. Ferrari was using the 458 platform till the F8. None of these companies make their own gearboxes, they have specialist companies doing that for them. But those companies too haven't invented anything new since the Dual Clutch transmission arrived. I am surprised why no engine manufacturer tried camless when Koenigsegg is doing it out of a garage shed. Koenigsegg has literally invented the wheel.
The man brought a Jesko, to Jesko, in a Jesko...that's a once in a lifetime experience right there, and I couldn't be happier for him...OK, I'm a little jealous.
And let's be honest...the man, Jesko, was not impressed or amused or anything. He was like yeah whatever come inside. A very cheesy idea but fuckin rad and enviable to say the least!

Wrong decision, being a hypercar doesn't mean only speed, it's about the quality, the design, the engine, the stability.. Koenigsegg makes light weight cars with a maxed out V8. the Agera had a good looking exterior but Jesko?!? Wth!? It looks so ugly af.. No doubt Koenigsegg makes good cars and I have respect for Christian Von Koenigsegg but it doesn't make Koenigsegg any better than Bugatti. if Bugatti wanted to make just fast cars, they would have reduced the weight and quality of the chassis and everything and could have crossed 350 mph. Bugatti is an epitome of Hypercars , it defines what a hypercar is.. Edit: I grew up.,Koenigsegg makes really fast, beautiful and mouth watery cars. I used to hate a bit on Koenigsegg but now i don't. I love Koenigsegg. Specially the AGERA RS and the REGERA. those are real beauties. I mean you can literally jerk off to those two beauties. Now Bugatti. Let's talk about Bugatti. So Bugatti is still my fav Hypercar brand and I'll simply not put a Bugatti against a Koenigsegg because "If comparable, It's no longer a Bugatti". 🗿 Peace
@@joonatannurminen6601 how do you know I can't afford them mate? Anyway I don't dismiss the engineering masterpiece from Bugatti. But on normal everyday roads it'll be like any other fast car from the VW group. On the other hand the Koenigsegg is just raw from whatever rev range.
@@mrhuzzi5802 I'm not dismissing the masterpiece that comes from Bugatti mate. They're an engineering marvel. But in terms of sheer excitement and rawness the Koenigsegg comes top in my books.
Imagine how sick the engineering of this car is is when you have modern V8 cars with 500hp 😂 So proud to be Swedish. Christian is an absolute (Jesko) genius! 😉
More like 600 to low 700 HP. 670 HP is the power of the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 so far so 700 is pretty close if not straight up within range.
Amazing! I thought after seeing the Jesko announced that the Agera RS was still the more attractive package. But after seeing this, hearing it.... Just WOW. Mr K is setting the bar once again
Yea that's a good point. The Agera program was hyper successful. The world records, the One:1 program, it's what really put Koenigsegg on the map. But somehow they did it - and all this in spite of regulations closing in on them, soon shutting the window on the internal combustion engine for good. Without going the hybrid route, you don't actually see any car companies raising the bar anymore and Koenigsegg, with the Jesko program, is the one exception as far as I can tell.
The amount of innovation such a small, relatively “up-start” company has made in such a small amount of time is incredible. Koenigsegg is leaps and bounds ahead of “established” supercar manufacturers.
Sounds like a damn jet on a track... 😍 The first time my eyes spotted this beauty, i INSTANTLY fell in love with it and gave it my exclusive "Most favorite car in the world" title, and there has yet been a model that has been able to take that 👑 since... 😏
Possibly the best film from Top Gear Magazine I've ever seen. Could really feel how it would be to drive it. What a piece of art. Amazing sounds and visuals. Great work. Thank you.
To me, a plebeian who drives a modest car, the Bugatti is not visually appealing. The Koenisegg however is aggressive, yet subtle, functional rather than fashionable. Built with one purpose in mind. Those kinds of designs are what make this car better than anything that Bugatti has made.
The transmission in this just "never" gest the praise it really deserves. It is a engineering marvel and a very clever design. It can handle as much torque as a Bugatti dual clutch, shifts faster and more flexible on gear choice, and weighs a lot less. Just brilliant engineering bu such a small company as Koenigsegg.
The Jesko is the pinnacle of what we are capable of in the world of automotive engineering all rolled up into one incredible package of a hyper car. Well done Koenigsegg!
It's a good looking car, both variants. Love the Saab 900 style wraparound windscreen that they've adhered to. The level of engineering is out of this world.
@@neilneilorangepeel Your half right. The 900 was modelled on a fighter jet, I remember the adverts, I also remember watching some Koenigsegg content where Christian referenced the 900 himself.
What an amazing vehicle so many details you could spend hours looking at it, observing and marveling at the intricacies especially so many things that are hidden from view. Owner who are fortunate enough to own one are truly blessed!
For some reason i find the agera r rear and the regera front better looking. Although this car is way above any other car atm engineering wise. That gearbox is something else
Amazing thing of this engine is its sound as commented in the episode. It is hard to know that it is turbo charged. Alongside its NA like characteristic on its power curve, the sound it makes something another level. Great works~~~~!!!!
*when you see a random post in the youtube comments section claiming they have a koenigsegg so you check out their videos and it turned out they do* wtf

Koenigsegg just keeps showcasing what is possible with vehicle engineering when you have fantastic leadership. The man whos name is on the car is passionate about his craft, and each new addition to the Koenigsegg innovates!
I was a Bugatti boy for a long time. I'm now converted to Koenigsegg. The cars are just raw and exciting.
Wrong decision, being a hypercar doesn't mean only speed, it's about the quality, the design, the engine, the stability.. Koenigsegg makes light weight cars with a maxed out V8. the Agera had a good looking exterior but Jesko?!? Wth!? It looks so ugly af.. No doubt Koenigsegg makes good cars and I have respect for Christian Von Koenigsegg but it doesn't make Koenigsegg any better than Bugatti. if Bugatti wanted to make just fast cars, they would have reduced the weight and quality of the chassis and everything and could have crossed 350 mph. Bugatti is an epitome of Hypercars , it defines what a hypercar is..
Edit: I grew up.,Koenigsegg makes really fast, beautiful and mouth watery cars. I used to hate a bit on Koenigsegg but now i don't. I love Koenigsegg. Specially the AGERA RS and the REGERA. those are real beauties. I mean you can literally jerk off to those two beauties. Now Bugatti. Let's talk about Bugatti. So Bugatti is still my fav Hypercar brand and I'll simply not put a Bugatti against a Koenigsegg because "If comparable, It's no longer a Bugatti". 🗿 Peace
Why not love both? Why u gotta choose between cars u cant even afford
@@joonatannurminen6601 how do you know I can't afford them mate? Anyway I don't dismiss the engineering masterpiece from Bugatti. But on normal everyday roads it'll be like any other fast car from the VW group. On the other hand the Koenigsegg is just raw from whatever rev range.
@@mrhuzzi5802 I'm not dismissing the masterpiece that comes from Bugatti mate. They're an engineering marvel. But in terms of sheer excitement and rawness the Koenigsegg comes top in my books.
@@mrhuzzi5802 🤡🤡🤡🤡
I am not a car enthusiast, but the engineering on this is insane. this is a masterpiece. huge respect to all the engineers who put this together
So well said.... top!
Wow. Koenigsegg knows how to make cars. And the Jesko Absolut is this one.
The sound of that engine is literally bringing tears to my eyes its so beautiful
Looks absolutely gorgeous! Truly a masterpiece by Christian and team!
This is a MASTERPIECE. Unbelievable. A work of art, through and through.
Just a whole another level. As an engineering exercise, what a thing. As a car - flat out impressive. This was a very good insight, too.
Imagine how sick the engineering of this car is is when you have modern V8 cars with 500hp 😂 So proud to be Swedish. Christian is an absolute (Jesko) genius! 😉
More like 600 to low 700 HP. 670 HP is the power of the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 so far so 700 is pretty close if not straight up within range.
The best hyper car in existence in my opinion. And that’s not an easy title to achieve
I agree.
I don't know where the story ends , this man and his company are doing things that other car manufacturers don't even dream of . Amazing 👏 👏 👏
Can just appreciate how glorious this engine sounds? My god its fantastic.
Their cars have always made a distinct and beautiful sound, even before they made the whole engine inhouse🎶❤️
I'm no car expert, yet am a sound one, and that sounds horrible and annoying, more like a fking motorbike 😂🤦♂️
Another masterpiece from Christian von Koenigsegg. That man is a genius. I love this video. Thank you.
Christian Von Koenigsegg is out there proving that achieving dreams it's not only possible but hella fun.
Inspiring.
2:10 It honestly sounds exactly like a rally car those first 5 gears but then it has the grunt behind it for another 4 🤯
Amazing! I thought after seeing the Jesko announced that the Agera RS was still the more attractive package. But after seeing this, hearing it.... Just WOW. Mr K is setting the bar once again
That's a nice username lol
@@ishanmakkar5751 Me thinks the same ✌️
Yea that's a good point. The Agera program was hyper successful. The world records, the One:1 program, it's what really put Koenigsegg on the map. But somehow they did it - and all this in spite of regulations closing in on them, soon shutting the window on the internal combustion engine for good. Without going the hybrid route, you don't actually see any car companies raising the bar anymore and Koenigsegg, with the Jesko program, is the one exception as far as I can tell.
What dreams are made of!! THIS IS WHAT I’M WORKING TOWARDS.
Go get it bro 💪🏻 We can’t wait to see on your insta / channel
you aint getting shit broke boi, keep working at Wal Mart
@@slaykay47 and u got? Atleast he is working to make his life better meanwhile u sit here and behave like a clown.
@@hugo-pg5tv lmfao I've got an E63.. I'm quite comfortable, don't need more than I have
@@slaykay47 bro this guy got cars that is 3 times the price of your car. Yet u call him broke boi.
Koenigsegg is just simply on another level. Period. And like many levels up not just one lol
Oh my days that engine sound!!!!
I need the pure sound of this work of art.
The amount of innovation such a small, relatively “up-start” company has made in such a small amount of time is incredible. Koenigsegg is leaps and bounds ahead of “established” supercar manufacturers.
Not really
What a machine... cheers 🥂 to those who will ever get a chance to drive it
Sounds like a damn jet on a track...
😍
The first time my eyes spotted this beauty, i INSTANTLY fell in love with it and gave it my exclusive "Most favorite car in the world" title, and there has yet been a model that has been able to take that 👑 since...
😏
This car is actually worth it's sticker price.. Another masterpiece from Christian von Koenigsegg. That man is a genius.
The Swedish God of Speed has definitely one upped himself again, everything this man does is just incredible, Rj in Oz
Possibly the best film from Top Gear Magazine I've ever seen. Could really feel how it would be to drive it. What a piece of art. Amazing sounds and visuals. Great work. Thank you.
A masterpiece
3:07 I love this shot
They call it The Golden Egg
2:15 that sound...
To me, a plebeian who drives a modest car, the Bugatti is not visually appealing. The Koenisegg however is aggressive, yet subtle, functional rather than fashionable. Built with one purpose in mind. Those kinds of designs are what make this car better than anything that Bugatti has made.
What a glorious sounding car
Koenigsegg never ceases to impress us
The transmission in this just "never" gest the praise it really deserves. It is a engineering marvel and a very clever design. It can handle as much torque as a Bugatti dual clutch, shifts faster and more flexible on gear choice, and weighs a lot less. Just brilliant engineering bu such a small company as Koenigsegg.
The Jesko is not only the beauty but the beast as well
The Jesko is the pinnacle of what we are capable of in the world of automotive engineering all rolled up into one incredible package of a hyper car. Well done Koenigsegg!
Not anymore, look up Gemera HV8, Koenigsegg just keeps announcing new inventions every time they show something....
Best Top Gear video I have seen in a while. Great editing (history was great) and giving Jesko, Jesko, in a Jesko was great.
Jesko is also the man! Great guy!
It's a good looking car, both variants. Love the Saab 900 style wraparound windscreen that they've adhered to. The level of engineering is out of this world.
I think they say it’s styled on a fighter jet not a Saab but I know what your saying.
@@neilneilorangepeel Your half right. The 900 was modelled on a fighter jet, I remember the adverts, I also remember watching some Koenigsegg content where Christian referenced the 900 himself.
What an amazing vehicle so many details you could spend hours looking at it, observing and marveling at the intricacies especially so many things that are hidden from view. Owner who are fortunate enough to own one are truly blessed!
Reviewer: “you only live once I’m going again”
Koenigsegg: “you mean you only get to drive this once in your life because you can’t afford it”
😂😂😂
Now that is definitely the nicest looking and sounding Koeniggsegg yet
For some reason i find the agera r rear and the regera front better looking. Although this car is way above any other car atm engineering wise. That gearbox is something else
I found the jesko attack better looking
Koenigsegg jesko absolut sound amazing already
Could have been longer, I was left wanting to see more. Amazing car, first car since 1992 that impacts me as the Mclaren F1 did that long ago
A Jesko, to Jesko, in a Jesko ?? Lesssgooooo...
Amazing thing of this engine is its sound as commented in the episode. It is hard to know that it is turbo charged. Alongside its NA like characteristic on its power curve, the sound it makes something another level. Great works~~~~!!!!

The Koenigsegg team is supreme.
great job guys ! proud to be a koenigsegg owner
*when you see a random post in the youtube comments section claiming they have a koenigsegg so you check out their videos and it turned out they do*
wtf
Christian is one of my favorite role models.
Could be one of the best hypercars ever made, the design and noise are absolutely epic!
That's it :)
3:06 this sound 🔥🔥
This is THE car for me. If I could only own one car in my life I would choose the Jesko.
This man made the car of my Dreams and i'm very happy they worked on the Sound it does, absolutely absolut!
CVK truly is Part madman, Part Genius, Part visionary. An Egg will always remain at the top of my want list and the Jesko Absolute looks amazing. Just seem to be short of the £2.3m :( I bet they are all sold as well? Cant wait to see if wipe the smile off of Hennessy's face :)
He is like Tony Stark in Reallife! The ironman himself!
If I ever win the lottery, a Jesko, a Gemera, a Regera and a One:1 will all be on my shopping list. 😊
If you can find one of them before they’re all sold out that is….whenever CvK unveils a new car and gives out allocations for them they always sell out within the first few days…
Truly, the stuff dreams are made of 😍, fantastic video.
This car is insane , the performance, build qualty, thrill design technology etc etc ever nuts and bolt and every aspect of This car is just insane . Will probably go down as the greatest ice car ever made
Who woulda thought 30 years ago the worlds most advanced motor cars would be coming from Sweden. Love it.
H2r: im the best in the world
Koenigsegg: well kids supposed to be in school you know
H2R has better Acceleration than these cars 0-300 kph under 10.8 seconds
These cars are faster on higher speeds 340+ kmph
H2R will beat this one in real world drag racing
@@Smzxebecause it has weight under 300 kg including rider 😂
@@KASHWopal-pk5bu does weight matter? H2R has done 9.4 seconds quarter mile @173 mph
1/2 mile 13.7 seconds @206 mph
1850 HP koenigsegg Regera did 9.8 seconds quarter mile and 14.6 seconds 1/2 mile
Your 1600 HP Jesko isn't even close to that
So stop crying
H2R will smoke them both very easily
And Chiron Supersport beats them anyways 8.7 sec to 9.1 seconds quarter mile
@@Smzxe you are crying bro not me
And for your silly arguments of supersport chiron it can go 300 mph vs jesko absolut can do 330 mph
And your chiron supersport will loose in top speed and track lap times even with 8 extra cylinders , 2 extra turbos and 3000 extra cc l
Only a drag race of 1/4 mile is not everythig
Chiron ss can win in 1/4 mile drag race because it has awd vs jesko is rwd
Rwd car is more fun to drive and awd car gets a better launch
Talk technically jesko is way better
@@KASHWopal-pk5bu Source of FAKE 330 mph? You're dreaming in daylight crying? H2R is faster than 1800 HP Regera at least in acceleration H2R is also RWD and Struggles with wheelies still beats any koenigsegg
Koenigsegg said to reach 300 mph which they still haven't done yet
Crying with your fake execuses
Do you own a 10 mile runway? So Jesko could hit 300 mph there? 🤣
Who does 300 mph on normal roads or drag racing????
H2R or Chiron Supersport will literally smoke every koenigsegg Exists in drag races
H2R beat Rimac Nevera on Ojek street 2000 HP EV
You think your 1600 HP Jesko comes close to a H2R????? 🤣
What a lucky guy to be able to drive this masterpiece for hours on public roads!!!!!!
Every now and then a car comes along that is simply mind-blowing. This is one of those cars…
I remember when I was graduating high school in 2000 I was absolutely obsessed with the CC8S and I was like this company will change exotic Motorsport forever and all of my friends were like Lambos will never be matched!! I was like Lamborghini will be a peasant 15 years from now and I was finall right about something lol
This is a incredible car, the gearbox and engine are a masterpiece, revs superfast, unlike any turbo engine ever created 👌
Missed the cc850, another masterpiece of engineering
It's a beautiful work of art with astonishing power. And although it's incredibly light it's amazing to think that its curb weight is still 434kg heavier than the GMA T.50.
I wished they’d hurry up with the t50.
Well the GMA T.50 got like 400hp and is small af. No aero either
434kg heavier of what they claim the T50 will weigh.
@@hugo-pg5tv ...no aero? There's a giant fan at the back, how is that no aero XD
@@RB-kb3tc and nothing else, only floor and fan.
