I really think this is the most beautiful car company in the world. Fantastic owners. Amazing looking cars. Fighting at the edge of what science allows us to do. And the story behind it all is even more beautiful. Christian is really my personal inspiration to achieve the things that I'm dreaming of. Much love and respect from the Netherlands🇳🇱!
It's an acceleration record car not a top speed record, the Bugatti Chiron about six months ago passed the 300mph barrier and achieved just about 304mph
@Frederik Nielsen ima take lambo even tho i am from sweden like koenigsegg are i do like lamborghini the most just beacuse the kornigseggs have a limmit number of cars
Not only exclusive, but really cool. Looking at Koenigsegg - the Ferrari, rolls Royce , Maybach, Bugatti looks like a toys for rich guys. Koenigsegg will be more legendary than Ferrari. Hennessy, Bugatti always beaten by Koenigsegg. There’s only the concurrent - DeVille Sixteen.
Jesko really deserved this after all the time and heart he has put into KAAB, the unveiling was very heart-warming and emotional. Well done to everyone who has put your soul into creating this masterpiece! This makes me proud to be from Sweden 💛
Thank you, Jesko, for doing the interview with Christian! Otherwise our eyes wouldn’t be pleased by the perfect looks of these amazing Koenigseggs! These cars transformed the hyper-car industry!
Fantastic story, thanks for sharing! I love that Koenigsegg is at the top of a game traditionally dominated by much larger, more established players. I also think it's great that Christian is so open with the media, youtubers especially. When I hear him talk about his cars, he goes into great detail, answering questions specifically and honestly. Instead of coming off as a salesman, he really gets across his passion for the cars and the narrative behind them.
How many heads of business willingly, candidly, and PROUDLY speak about their family giving them the support, help, and opportunities to succeed? CvK is probably the only automotive CEO alive today who not only talks about those things, but actively pays homage to those who have helped him over the years and credits the engineers he employs with bringing all his crazy ideas to life. And wouldn't you know it - his legend has not been diminished one bit by his discussion of the help he got from his father or the role his wife has played as COO or the crazy ideas that the senior engineers have come up with over the years. In fact, I'd go so far as to argue that the Koenigsegg family brand - and CvK's status as a mad genius - has only gotten even MORE legendary BECAUSE CvK continually highlights the pivotal roles that everybody around him has played for the past quarter century. He never says "I" unless it was his personal idea that HE manifested himself. It's always "we". And it's a really beautiful thing to see.
What a champ! Seeing Christian literally got his hands dirty in the early stage of Koenigsegg inception is really moving. That is one more reason to respect Christian as a businessman, a visionary, and a son. Thank you, Mr. Jesko, for helping your son created the best Megacars the world has ever seen! I LOVE KOENIGSEGG!
Thats very amazing and heartwarming. I remember that my grandpa had a poster of a Koenigsegg in his office. He worked at the factory there during a time as a employee who took care of the working environment to check if everything was okay. Weirdly enough I have never been there or ever seen a Koenigsegg. Tough luck I guess?
GOOD BUSINESS PLAN....this is one of the reason of success.....there are many others...but this is the core.....great Christian i remember when some years ago a man of yours let me enter in the ccx.....continue like this....for me no one else! NO ONE!
Ya really gotta even say Bugatti is more of a luxury brand now and koenigsegg is speed based Hennessy is the only competition and really is that competitive?
It’s so amazing, it all started with them just watching a movie and now they are pretty much the most innovative car company in the world, they do almost everything in house and build the fastest car in the world, even though they are such a small company. Nothing but respect for Jesko, Christian and their team!
When you reach a level where no one else can compete and you are then competing against yourself you have almost raised the bar to an almost unattainable height! That thought in and of itself is almost incomprehensible! It is a great time in history to be alive and witness the likes of Koenigsegg!
Some help for subtitles and people who aren't familiar with English to translate it and also, congrats Koenigsegg, it's not just a car, it's a family. Transcript: The beginning of us was when Christina was 6 or 7 years old when we saw this Norwegian movie and Christian said to me when we left the cinema “father when I grew up that’s the kind of car I want to build” and I said “well, well, well, we will see about that” and that’s how really how it all started. After his exam he said to me “father, I think it’s time now for me really, I would really like to build this car, I know exactly what it will look like and how it shall be developed” and I said “Christina I don’t think this is really a good idea” and then he said “father, however I’ve done a business plan and I put it on your desk, couldn’t you at least have a close look at it” and then part of a sudden I read this business plan and it did really contain anything you can desire from a business plan from A B set, so I thought, well now it’s more difficult to get rid of this idea so I said “maybe we should try to find kind of, to present this business idea to, at that time it was a new tech or Swedish organization for start-up companies and I thought, well they will probably throw us out of the window so then we can forget about this, but it took some 6 weeks before we could do this interview at new tech and Christian is a very very good persuader so after a few weeks he had kind of persuaded me that we will do this together, and we went to new tech and instead of getting thrown out of the window, which I more or less had hope, they say “whoa this was the nicest thing we have heard for a very long time, where do you want to start”. Christian said “well preferably as close to our future markets as possible” and then we landed at a town in the southeast of Sweden and at that time I had her very recently sold company so I was kind of free to do other things, I said to Christian “well maybe I can come with you the first 3~4 weeks to help you get going”, as a matter of fact these 3~4 weeks they extended to, I don’t know, it was 5~6 years about 18h a day and Christian was building the car, building the prototype and in 1996 in July Christian presented the first prototype and from that moment on it has been a kind of journey that has ended up where we are today.
Damn man.... My dad wouldn't give all his life savings... but he would support me all the way. :) Well done, Christian I hope one day your company will grow immensely through the years.
I am born in the early 80s and for people of my generation and younger, we have the giants like Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes with their legendary beginnings to admire and aspire to. However those legends were way before our time and belonged to our grandfathers' generation. With these big players already defined the car scene, it's hard to imagine such legend to happen in our time, let along surpassing those who have already dominated. So I am just very glad that we have an inspiration of our own generation, Koenigsegg and Tesla, which is the best that we can give to those who come after.
Imagine being the creator and the mastermind behind such great cars, and still, be humble enough to name one of your cars after your father, who at start didn't really like the idea, but helped you out anyways... i admire Christian Von Koenigsegg
An absolute legend for chasing your dreams, Id love to make my own supercar as it would be unique and different, the Jesko is an amazing car and Koenigsegg is my favourite car manufacturer🏎

Christian moulding the car by himself shows his sheer passion. Absolute excellence!
Shows the respect he has for his dad as well. He’s just a solid guy all around.
*☀WHAT passion that by pass passion🙄 i✔WE call that POWER THAT'S PURE🌅POWER🌌*
Christian's dad Jesko looks like he could be in a James Bond film. Real old school gentlemen.
Amazing son, amazing father with a amazing story. Love your new car cheers from Sweden

It's an acceleration record car not a top speed record, the Bugatti Chiron about six months ago passed the 300mph barrier and achieved just about 304mph

Never was a fan til i saw father and son talked! So humble! no wonder they are so blessed!! More blessings to your company!
I can't like this enough. Father and son build and empire for Good instead of Evil..
Wow, this is amazing. Thank you soo very much for posting this. :)
The car is absolutely beautiful! I love watching the new stuff from you guys! Long Live Koenigsegg!
I'd love to see this story in a full longer version on how koenigsegg got started and the creation of the first car.
Just a man with a dream, the creation of the most exclusive worldwide supercar brand ever!! Outstanding!!
Not only exclusive, but really cool. Looking at Koenigsegg - the Ferrari, rolls Royce , Maybach, Bugatti looks like a toys for rich guys. Koenigsegg will be more legendary than Ferrari. Hennessy, Bugatti always beaten by Koenigsegg. There’s only the concurrent - DeVille Sixteen.

What a great journey so far. Congratulations and just love that the fastest and the most beautiful car is named after you Jesko!
Extremely inspiring! Mad respects from DZ, Africa!
It all started from a simple quote. Dream big and the dream will come true, especially with a little bit of determination.
A great story directly from the founders father- what a great chance in car history to hear all that! Thank you so much!!

The only company who can b considered as a "FLAWLESS"
This is the story of an amazing relationship between a father and son. I hope one day if I ever have children I can be a father like Jesko
Let's all celebrate our fathers! We would be nowhere and literally nothing without them.
*Amazing Story! **#Respect** to the Koenigsegg Family!*
Wow ..thas was a great story ....More power to you ...You can be proud to be part of history in this way.
Starting so late, but makes the most beautiful cars ever❤️

I grew up in southern Sweden. As a kid I had pictures of the first Koenigsegg in my room. It was the only pictures I had on my walls.
Thats very amazing and heartwarming. I remember that my grandpa had a poster of a Koenigsegg in his office. He worked at the factory there during a time as a employee who took care of the working environment to check if everything was okay. Weirdly enough I have never been there or ever seen a Koenigsegg. Tough luck I guess?
I saw that Norwegian movie also, and assembled a model miniature of the car. 🙂
GOOD BUSINESS PLAN....this is one of the reason of success.....there are many others...but this is the core.....great Christian i remember when some years ago a man of yours let me enter in the ccx.....continue like this....for me no one else! NO ONE!
When you combine the power of will with the power of dreams you'll always achieve something incredible.
Congratulations!
Best company!!
More like most wholesome
koenigsegg is way better than bugattti
Both are on my list you don't have to hate bugatti to like Koenigsegg
Ya really gotta even say Bugatti is more of a luxury brand now and koenigsegg is speed based Hennessy is the only competition and really is that competitive?

Wow! It was an amazing story. I have too much respect and admiration to Christian Koenigsegg, he has a brilliant mind, a genius for me.👍👍🏎🏎
So humbling.

The new car looks incredible, and being dedicated to the OG Koenigsegg just makes it that much better.
Made my eyes water man. Inspiring.
Amazing story, have been following Koenigsegg from the start and "Flåklypa Grand Prix" also inspired my car interest. Ängelholm FTW :)
That is just amazing. Dreams and desires all coming to fruition. Outstanding.

Inspirational! Enjoy your magical week at Geneva Auto Show 2019
Someone must have thought about making a movie about Christian and Jesko, what a great story
When you reach a level where no one else can compete and you are then competing against yourself you have almost raised the bar to an almost unattainable height! That thought in and of itself is almost incomprehensible! It is a great time in history to be alive and witness the likes of Koenigsegg!
The story this company is built upon is just amazing. So excited to see what’s to come for Christian and the whole team at Koenigsegg.
Congratulations to the Koenigsegg family! I hope to own one of your cars one day!
Next model from Koenigsegg.
Flåklypa GP👍🏻
Well done with the Jesko. It looks amazing. I hope Christians father is proud.
wow, can even decide who i love more. Or maybe its just great things inspire even greater ones.
Han är en riktigt bra pappa
A proud father.
