I say this with respect. That super aggressive wrap actually hides a lot of the aggressive design of that car. It looks way more aggressive in its factory color scheme.
Amen. Every one of these muppetwraps like this (no matter if its a japan special motive) it DO NOT fit on any car.
Dunno how many clips i seen and get embarrarassed blushing all over due to this "splash NO taste" wraps making good looking cars
almost as ugly as the most ugly car - the veyron.
Another thing is the new hothatches and alike, as the racey cars they are... oops were.
So embarrassing to see some "cool" guy in a racey car, but as soon it's time to shift you realize it's an auto gearbox 😅
Stupid manufactuers but stupid "race"car buyers accepting that as no matter how fast it shifts, manual gb cant be replaced
if you gonna DRIVE your car, not just "go by car"
/Nazi on that one
True... But can't deny it's a pretty darn good looking wrap..."high art" no doubt 🧐
It's a wrap, they can remove it anytime. chill
My dad lived next to the airfield and he visited it when it was still a military base and why it called ghost squadron is because of during the nights the swedish pilots were training so hard and dangerously at an altitude of 98feet over land and 65 at sea so sometimes windows would shatter during the nights and just come blasting overhead.
Remember the 70's they daily flew the Viggens or Drakens (insanity wich ever it was) quite low over populated areas and the sheer sound
followed by that damn bang was a little frightening ⚡💨💥
Koenigsegg is so far out of grasp for most of us that it begins to move past aspirational to disdain and waste, until you remember the incredible breakthroughs and insane engineering prowess. What an accomplishment!
I agree that at this level I am not very interested. I dont see any tech coming my way from these projects. I want a used 996 or 997 porsche 911. And thats my life goal right now. For me thats a 52 year old dream since I was ten coming true. Its my next big thing
It’s awesome to see what the is possible when one man has a vision and the ability to pursue it, without having to seek corporate approval
Kind of like Haute Horlogerie watches.
Throw enough money at most any thing, you can make it uncompromisable
@@lincolnblack3140 perfect example. I could not care less about some diamond encrusted Hublot but I’ll drool over a Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpétuel
Hats off to the manufacturer,making everything in house. Would be a dream to see one in South Africa,Cape Town.
I’ve never been big on the styling of Koenigseggs, but I would own one just because of the engineering and heart and soul that Christian puts into them. He’s such an innovator .
Really? I don't know why but I've always rather liked the way they look. Either way, yeah, I feel like they are just on a completely different level
I always loved the look of the CC8S and the CCR, CCX and CCXR with the more iconic 80s look. When i first saw the One:1 and later the Agera, especially the new front with those lights looked too fancy to me. The Regera on the other hand, looking at it since the first time, always felt like looking at a piece of art. To me it is one of the most beautiful cars, i have seen. And after all this time, i got to say, i started to even like and love the looks of the Agera.
Christian makes Musk look like a stuttering school child.
He is neither an engineer, nor a designer, nor an innovator
He is a marketer
@@pseudonym8082 Although he has no degree, he truly is a designer, engineer and car-lover to his very bone. He is not a marketer in my opinion more than that he shares his thoughts to the media if they ask and is very open about his company in general. He is a nice guy.
I was lucky enough to see this specific car a few years back with its original paint job at a cars and coffee in san diego. this is the car that got me into hypercars as a whole
this is something that jason cammisa should've review!
Cammisa hates "supercars". He likes shitty old VW's that leak oil. 😅
This series just gets better with each new episode.
Where's the usual narrator though? I only watch this show for him. He made the channel what it is.
I know
@@thetruthisonlyperspective4872 nothing last forever 💐
Great video! Hagerty - please do us a favor. Lower the music to the background so we can hear the car better. I don't like music played over the sound of the engine. What you're doing is very close to the perfect balance of emotional music and engine sound (it's NOT a motor, that's electric, an IC is an engine).
So the Department of Motor Vehicles only caters to electric cars? Motown/Motor City, famous for its electric motor production?
@@victorsorribes169 Also, don't forget that motorcycles are 99% electric.
I don't even know where or how to start writing this comment, but love Hagerty for doing this, Magnus for Narrating and riding around, and the owner for providing the legend in the flesh! Takes a team to provide such great production and content! Thank you all for the production of this video! Btw, my favorite manufacture to date, love that Christian has brought such a fantastic product to this world! :D
Ah i love the Porsche Santa, he is a real car guy!
Christian von koenigsegg is a legend 💯💯🔥
Hagerty killing the RUclips game...Bravo!
That was fantastic.
Thank you Magnus and Hagerty.
Holy hell this is such a great video. That's some incredible writing! I came out the other end with a proper appreciation for Koenigsegg. Thank you team, for all your hard work!
Great Vid Mag!! Love this series!!! 🤘🤘
The production values and writing of these episodes are truly something else. Please make more, quite epic. Gracias!
Great video! Thanks for sharing those special moments! 🙏 Koenigsegg is truly my favorite brand. And i mean brand in general - to me it even comes before Porsche and RUF 🤩 My favorite car of all time is the CCR and CCX with those iconic wheels, the 80s look, the raw manual gearbox and stuff... no, i don't need more horsepower!! 😂
This car has the 1MW engine upgrade with flexfuel capability and 1340 HP on E85.
The RS1 package/model if I'm right
@@Shxlbyyy Same engine spec as the One:1, most of the US cars have it and the RS1 is one of them.
Love these videos. When the doors are open the bottom edge of the sheet metal is absolutely perpendicular to the ground. I love that detail and as with everything else about the car, it isn't accidental but instead the result of fanatical attention to detail. Or so I imagine about a car I'll never own or drive...
What sheet metal...? There is no sheet metal in a Koenigsegg!
The Koenigsegg CC8S was a dream car for me back when I was a kid in the 90's/early 2000's. I would read the magazine feature on it every night before bed. Then I spent all night downloading a showcase video of it over dial up. It's impressive seeing how much Koenigsegg has advanced since then.
Cheers to Magnus and the team for another great episode 🍸
My favorite episode so far, and they are all really good!
Loving this channel brother! Found you the other day 👍🏻
Hagerty makes my RUclips shopping simple 🤠
2:43 I’m watching this with subtitles and I haven’t quite finished the episode, but this Agera RS actually came with 1340 hp, instead of 1160 hp, as part of the RS’s 1MW option which swaps in the One:1 tested engine
And Bugatti didn’t take back the production car record, it was a pre-production prototype, so it’ll differ from the production models (maybe it’s just missing some mirrors, who knows. But until the mirrors have been added, and a customer’s car has been tested, it’s not a production car record). It’s just a stunt, nothing more, maybe even less. Currently the SSC Tuatara has the production car record, but we don’t really talk about it because of its controversy (and it barely beat out the Agera RS’s 277.9 at 282.9 mph with 30% more hp; 1750 hp total)
@@sehajkaler9285 Small corrections, the 1MW update bumped the power to 1360hp or 1360PS or 1341bhp.
The SSC Tuatara's record might not be considered for production cars now because SSC afaik weren't able to manufacture the minimum number of units required for production car eligibility within a time period of 1 year starting from the day of the record which was in January 2021.
@@Amarjit_Singh ah, I was not aware of that for the SSC Tuatara, thank you! Then I guess the Agera still reigns!
Hp is a weird measurement because you can present it with mechanical losses or without losses (hp vs bhp, and I don’t know which is which. Though I guess manufacturers will cite the highest number they get). And, 1 metric horsepower, or PS, is like 0.986 mechanical horsepower, so I don’t know which one we refer as hp. I guess PS would be the best measurement to settle with, so yeah 1360 PS
@@sehajkaler9285 1hp or HP = 1PS = 1CV = 0.986bhp.
PS means horsepower in German, while CV is the French equivalent.
I thought it was at 1160 hp when it’s not using e85 that gives it 1360 hp
Amazing car and amazing episode! I feel like weenie the pooh just taught me the history of Konigsegg.
At the end.... you eloquently and succinctly described the first time I got into my current car...
We run into Magnus every year in Amelia Island and also at Monterey… of course he doesn’t know us and he is always busy but he always takes a moment to say hello and to let us get a pic occasionally. What a great representative for the car community. Oh… His videos always rock also!
Sweet episode!
CheeRS Magnus! great review with incredible car : )
Amazing edit 😎
The real record holder😤
Love this series
Awesome review!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Awesome drone work!!
Shows like this make you wonder why the major media outlets fail to create good car content. This, is excellent.
Well done. That thing is the essence of cool! Thanks Mr Walker.
Man I love this series
THIS…THIS WAS EPIC!
Beautiful series..... a credit to the team
*The fact that this car was made by the same country who gave us PewDiePie.*
Well done! Said all that I feel for the Agera design.
Absolutely astonishingly cool
Mr Magnus is the best presenter on youtube and the camera crew are one of a kind.
Loved this video, nice way of explaining this car and the experience on a lovely piece of road.
Great video!
I like the stock red carbon under that wrap more imo.
That car seems kinda understated. You should put an antenna ball on it, so you can figure out which one is yours in the Walmart parking lot. :)
Great video, good sound and editing.
I like your oldschool caveman look... *relating*
YOU DESERVE MORE VIEWS AND LIKES
no, his information is wrong...
Love this car. Great video, getting to how and why a drive in something special (whatever it is) touches us car enthusiasts. Regardless of budget.
So good 🔥
SOOO EPIC BRO!!! 😀😀😁😁😈😈😂😂😃😃 HAGGARTY ARE NO1.
Hagerty Top Level 👍👍
This guy sounds absolutely amazed by everything he said
CC8S in PGR2 has had me sold forever.
The free valve tech is something I pondered for many years in the 80's and 90's, the oil backed electro activated valves was the key, I couldn't figure out the way to positively hold it in place with electro only.
Still not in production by Koenigsegg.
thanks Magnus and Co. that was fun and the wrap is next next level; so great!
The art wrap does nothing for the car...however another great production and the narration is spot on!
Wow that's awesome
THANK YOU
I wish I had seen Magnus Walker's face when he got back in his van
This video is going to go viral.
How come the production value is so much lower than their Jason Cammisa's ICON😂😂😂thought they would use the same production team
I like the feel of this though. It is raw feeling.
Because Magnus isn’t the same quality writer or presenter as Jason.
No offense to him tho, I love these series and he’s getting better with every episode
They each use their own, and I like the difference. Each show fits the personality of the host.
@@evanneiswanger writting aside, the cinematography, the audio and the edit are not close match either.
Brilliant!!!
Awesome that you got some scenes from Pinchcliff grand prix in there!
The outro commentary was great.
I am more amazed at how they build their own motors. They do not make a ton of cars either. Despite the cars being limited production cars I have never heard of them having issues. Ferrari, Lambo and Mclaren would be in trouble if these guys started building cars in the 200K-400K price range.
that’s the thing. I actually hope they don’t expand to mass production, because atm their build quality is top notch with the team of people that are hand-assembling them. Once it gets to automation, it can get tricky to monitor the cars, even though they’ll definitely make more of them.
Doubt it lol everything on those cars expensive as shi not even they so called base model would be under 900k they factory isn’t as big as those companies ether they definitely making a lot more money saving on workers and robot machines
@@devandrasimanjuntak1646, that could he true...Mclaren is this exactly. Poor build quality and reliability, but they look great and drive soooop good. Konigsegg, is not Mclaren at all.
@@darkskinz0617, look. I am not saying build 2,000 cars, but instead of 100 or so for a model try to build 500-1,000 to start. Clearly they have the right engineering. You know what would make them put EVERYBODY OUT OF BUSINESS? If they struck a deal with Porsche. You use Porsche motors and PDK's and they did the rest.
@@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic Did you see the new Corvette Z06
We would love to see about Gamera
Reading about people grabbing multi-figures monthly as income in investments even in this crazy days in the market,any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earnings?would be appreciated.
Most failures and loss on investment usually
happens when you invest without proper knowledge of the market..I was able to recover my losses with Eliana Brooklyn
Her good reputation already speaks for her last month i invested over $100,000 with her and I've already made over $250,000 profit.
Kindly reach her thru Tele gram page with
Elianabk is the name.
@@bigog4559 This lady right here,I tradr with her she’s inventive and the P.O.T are no jokes, I won’t look awestricken u made mention of her,,
The only supercar company that I actually admire.
Add Rimac to your list.
@@Anonymous-qx9hs My statement still stands.
@@exothermal.sprocket 🤣👍
Looks like Hagerty got their facts wrong. The engine is NOT twin turbo as they state in the video at 2:40. If anyone bothered to check they'd see that Koenigsegg's are twin supercharged. There's a big difference between turbocharging and supercharging. This Agrea RS is a evolution of the CCX. If you liked this, I'd highly recommend watching Top Gears Jeremy Clarkson review of Koenigsegg. Thank you.
Turbos have lag before they kick in. Supers work at all times
Thanks for not putting this content behind a paywall
Magnus, you are a very, very lucky (and incredibly talented, in your own right) man.✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Can't deal with his voice
Wish it was Jason who reviewed it
magnus’s drip is impeccable, i wish i had his fashion sense
Just raid the donation bin at any homeless shelter.
@@tihspidtherekciltilc5469 bruhh
That current value is so insane!
Exactly!
Given that there's 27 units (25 customer cars + 1 rebuilt crashed car + 1 factory car) and being a very bespoke car built with exotic materials as well as being the fastest production car record holder, the current value shouldn't be surprising.
Can we talk about the ABS fault on startup, because that is extremely funny.
Why did the audio decrease in volume at 9:33 suddenly lol
That was pure petrol poetry ❤️
I'm so sad there's not more videos of Koenigsegg cars being driven hard. I used to obsess over these videos A few years back of a Koenigsegg absolutely demolishing a Bugatti Veyron in a very high speed rolling race. The way that cone except just walked away completely blew my mind
Koenigsegg couldn't demolish a turd🤦🤣
that road reminds me of need for speed games
Magnus Walker reminds me of Need for Speed game lol
I don’t wanna be rude or anything, just a small note, the car that broke the world record had the megawatt engine in it (1360 hp), in the facts presented early in the video it said 1160 hp, that’s not the megawatt engine.
Radagast has upgraded considerably from that rabbit sled thing he used to drive
but those were Rhosgobel Rabbits! lolll
That TT v8 sounds soooo good
the volume fades weirdly at about 9:32
The fastest production car is currently the SSC Tuatara ( 2nd REAL Attempt) at 286mph!
yup 👍
@@toxicgracie3772 NOPE...... chiron super sport 300+... befor eu guys scream at me that its a modifieed car and not production.. false, its all sold and its on the roads, the people who bought it gets invited to the bugatti track and get to unleash the full power to go 300+ mph.... done
@@GenerationTPR It doesn't hold the official record. It only did 300 mph one way. Tuatara holds the production car top speed record....
@@GenerationTPR Unofficially, Bugatti SS 300 is fastest
Officially, SSC Tuatara is fastest. Id like to see the SSC do a run on a track as long as the one Bugatti used, because it had way more in the tank at 286mph. It only stopped because of lack of track length
@@toxicgracie3772 the runw as faked.
Swedish meatballs with a lil bit of boost!
God I love Koenigsegg's. If I ever hit the lottery, the VERY first thing I'd do is place an order for one or atleast start looking for one to buy 😍
Talking about cars that make you travel space and time, you should check out the Citroen SM2 project cars.
And VW won't let anyone use Nardo, who thinks there scared of this man from Sweden, as always great story Magnus, Rj in Oz
i think you mean they wont let anyone use Ehra-Lessien track because that is one whit long straight where bugati does ther records. Nardo is circular track so you cant make proper speend record in there.
Fastest production hypercar, RIMAX. MIC DROP!!!
Bugatti didn't take back the production car record.
- This guy is weird looking
- "The car is 10M dollars"
- This guy is REALLY weird looking
I seem to recall my mom telling me if you see a long haired bearded man in a windowless van, do NOT approach, no matter how much candy he offers you. However, she never said jack squat about staying away from him if he's driving a Koenigsegg's Agera RS. I like Snickers and peanut M&Ms. Just saying...
11:20 -11:50 is best recorded exhaust clip
Who let Radagast the Brown drive a $10 million car??? Seriously, though, this was an amazing video!
