What impresses you the most about Christian von Koenigsegg's story? Comment below! I was so excited for this new Podcast episode! There is 3 more to come with some motorsport legends 👀 Subscribe: bit.ly/NicoRosbergYT
Fully agreed. Christian and Mate, heroes of today for me! What they managed to accomplish on a quite small scale, living their boys dream. They're great blokes, friendly, open, downtoearth. Passion for the product!
I could listen Christian for hours and hours and hours non stop. The passion ,vision and determination he has for everything he does is mega. Such an inspiration.
Why the need for car journalists? The best 1h interview I've heard. Two people who are interested in cars sit down and talk. Thank you very much Nico and Christian.
imagine a mercedes f1 car with a free valve engine and an lst transmission. Dominance further expanded.

No. Nobody has the desire to win like Enzo Ferrari. Koenigsegg have no appearance in racing, while Ferrari have been building racing car, racing and winning for over 90 years. You don't have to compare Koenigsegg to any person in history to make him great.
I remember when Christian said something like "Our backside is many other manufactures front side".....that's when I understood that this is something different. Unbelievable impressive guy, cars, company and people around him and in the company. This guy never give up on his dream.....and how that brain is working should be bottled and sold on the open market :) Our times Leonardo Da Vinci and Enzo Ferrari in the same person.....and on top of that, a very nice guy.
An amazing Interview with amazing questions! I have seen a lot of content with Christian but this was something completely new. Thank you Nico for this super interesting video. Vielen Dank!
His passion, his mindset...his thinking about the future for combined engines and the benefits for sustainability out of this combinations are incredible.
What impresses me the most, having worked and planned things a couple of times with their staff and met Christian and his wife a couple of times, is how sane they are after having endured such a crazy history building up a company and brand to this level in a business so competitive - and a family. They are I think, very Scandinavian.
@@gbbot6895 yes it was.well, not the founders of the company Polestar that was the Volvo race section. But the "founders" of the Polestar the electric car.
Fantastic interview! Most shorter interviews never let him go in depth as to his personal motivation that set him on this course. His enthusiasm and intelligence is an inspiration to us all.
Amazing content. two outliers, each in their own way, having a deep conversation about life, businesses, dreams & ethics free, well produced, 1hr long on RUclips Huge thanks Nico!
Dear Nico, I'm Shreya from India and you are my inspiration...

@@shreyapatra1712 when buddh international was out of the f1 calender I was so pissed, but chances are high that we might have a comeback in the f1 calender after jehan join f1 in next few year
I love that Christian talks about the car - il tempo gigante from Pinchcliffe Grand Prix - that started his passion for building cars, and a miniature model of the very same car sits on the bookshelf behind him. Love that! He´s a awesome guy and i love Nicos interviews, so natural and relaxed.
What impresses me the most is Christian’s resilience. “I have nothing to lose if I work my ass off”. He engages in Fear Setting, looking at the worst case scenario and realizing that failure is never as bad as we may think, that the upside is much greater than any negative consequences. What’s the worst that can happen? I love this interview.
The no.1 aspect that makes Koenigsegg the successful "GOAT" level company... The accessibility to the CEO, the dream, the man, the vision. Enzo never took the time to connect with the pesents 😆 Thankyou NICO!!! what a privilege this has been to listen to my two favorite "AutoGods" haha. Kind regards, Benjo from NZ
I think many viewers heard CvK tell his story before, but you asked the right questions so we got more/better answers. Well done Nico. Very very nice episode!
nico you're such a good interviewer and mind. asking really interesting questions but especially being able to keep digging to get some really interesting answers. also being good with words and capturing the essence of what is being asked or discussed. really interesting interview as always. being a swede i knew koenigsegg was swedish but had no idea about christian before this. really likable inspirational guy.
Nico, I have been impressed with Mr Koenigsegg’s passion and approachability for years. What impresses me most about this video is your ever increasing ability to do an interview. You are getting very good and, might I say, appear to have natural talent for it. Great work.
That was something! Watched the whole thing. Thank you Nico. Such a great content. We are in a truly innovative era. So many great ideas and projects are ahead of us.
So True, a friend of mine that CO- started Spotify always say "Hungry wolfs are better hunters than fat cats" regaring taking in to much risk capital and loose a little drive thanks to the comfort and safety added.
Thanks a ton Nico for giving us such an amazing content Watching a F1 legend and one of the best hyper car brand CEO and founder talk about cars together is what we want
This interview just pushed Koenigsegg car value even more,if i had the money i wouldn't think twice to buy one ,you are buying piece of art,passion, dreams all wrapped up in one.what an extraordinary guy and innovator you are Mr. Koenigsegg.
Great interview! You got him to answer questions and say things we‘ve never heard in any other interview and get an even better glimpse into his mind and how he ticks!
Great interview! I have been passionate about Koenigsegg for some years now. Great to hear about the first years and struggle Cristian and his team has overcome. Thank you Nico. We miss you in F1
So enjoyable to watch! Nico, you're sharp, my man. Keep up the great work in the mobility industry. I work here in the US and focus on mobility product strategy within the auto industry. It's exciting times for us all!
When CvK speaks about "we are dead anyway", regarding mindset, it reminded me about Lt Spiers speech in "Band of brothers". "Ronald Spiers: The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.”
Super inspirational! Thanks, Nico, This interview has been the boot in the ass I needed. Samuel Goldwyn, the movie pioneer said something similar to Christian. "The harder I work, the luckier I get" Time to get back to work. Maybe buy a tent.
Elon's saying is "The Best part is no part, the best process is no process." These two are pushing humanity to the next level. Christian inspires me every day to push myself. I don't have all the fancy degrees and things people respect but I have done well so far and will continue to do so because of trail blazers like him. Thanks Nico your interviews are always spot on.
Nico testing the Jesko would be so awesome, just can't wait to see that =) Also, seing Koenigsegg racing at LeMans one day with one of their Megacar would be absolutely legendary (even more if Bugatti were there too with the Bolide). I hope this dream will become a reality soon.

I'm impressed with your presence and interview skills. In the moment thoughtfulness and intelligence, thank you Nico. And of course thank you Christian for the dream.
I am also a fan of Christian von Koenigsegg. It is more than just cars he build, and it goes beyond a passion. The way he think about building the best products, in this case are cars, and to achieve that level of performance and design are mind blowing.
Christian is an amazing and passionate individual, but credit where credit is due, I loved the line of questions from Nico where he pushed Christian a little bit out of his comfort zone. This was a very good interview!!
I love videos like this. I am a under the hood guy, I like to understand the tech. behind cars and understand what motivates entrepreneurs and makers of cars. I am generally impressed.
Yeah that's crazy but in a good way. Christian is a GENIUS man. His story and his skills is very unique and I can't even believe that his dream became a reality and I can say that his talent and passion is second to none. Yes, most of us have passion in cars but very few can be successful as he is.😀 😀 😀. This is the only car man I admired so much. His creation is a work of art and his determination and confidence is rock solid🏎🏎🏎
THANK YOU ! ! ! Very well though out interview, best I've seen in a long time with one of the most inspiring individuals of our time. For me - it is the priceless gems like this that make all the hours wasted on RUclips wort it!
The Gemera is one of the most beautiful, technically advanced automobiles ever created. It is a work of art and function, in my humble opinion. Wish I could afford one.
What makes Koenigsegg cars desirable in my opinion is how unique, over engineered, and how it comes from Sweden of all countries when we're accustom to super/hypercars European cars from Italy, Germany, UK, or France. As a car enthusiast, you have to admire how Koenigsegg built it's reputation and company to where it is today. The uniqueness of how Koenigsegg doors open is uncommon to see like everyday cars along with how we see Lamborghini butterfly doors open. I will say the amount of engineering put into making new models (even though majority of Koenigsegg cars look similar) is still impressive because there's a huge difference in each Koenigsegg model which makes them all different from another (aside from the body, but hey it's ain't broke don't fix it). I still find it impressive how Koenigsegg can go head-to-head against Bugatti for the fastest manufactured super/hypercar. I will also note that Christian is aware of how to run his business by limiting the production of each Koenigsegg models (which won't bankrupt his company, and makes the cars his company produces all the more desirable) along with not having to sell his company to a big car manufacture like how Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti are all owned by Volkswagen (Yes, there's other brands VW owns -I don't know them all on the top of my head-). Of all Koenigsegg models I would love own even though it isn't road legal in America would be the One:1 (Even if I own one someday I wouldn't care if I drive it on the road because cars are meant to be driven and not collect dust while sitting in a garage). I do hope Christian will make future models that do meet U.S. road legal specifications (I'm not a fan of the U.S. NHTSA but it is what it is).
This is inspiring because he is the first CEO I have ever seen express how important it to take care of his employees and admits whole-heartedly that he doesn't have backgrounds in engineering and such and works directly with his team. Its really awesome to see that. He is passionate and humble. I used to love Ferrari, but reading the connotations on them saying ppl are representing their brand incorrectly or just arrogance in general, it kinda turned me away from them. By no means am I in a position to own any of these vehicles, but if I could, my first choice would be Koenigsegg
Nowadays you hear just about everywhere, 1000 hp Nissan, or fiat or whatever, it’s like everyone can do it, BUT they all blow up when used on a track, or some never make it to the track and blow up on a dyno, or on the road… what is really impressive is to build a car that has over 1000 hp and offer a warranty for it, break records and then ride in it to your home, this is something that most people overlook. It’s like the dodge demon, you could spend a whole day doing quarters and then ride it home and start over again tomorrow while on your GTR , after 3 runs you will need a new clutch and differential…
Beyond Amazing, thank you Nico. What an an incredible interview with Mr. Christian Von Koenigsegg. Greetings from Portugal. Stay safe take care everyone.
Thanks for watching and comments, We're always available for questions, guidance and support at any time . Just DM *+1 8 3 2 4 2 0 0 4 8 7* @ W H A T S A Pp,
What a great interview. I have to agree with all the positive comments, but I'd like to focus on your great interviewing style. Christian must endure the same questions and give the same answers countless times, but I love the way you dig for more details he doesn't normally share. I think Christian must have great respect for you and you can see the mutual respect in the give and take of the interview. He's interacting with you in a way he would never interact with a random car blogger. Like everyone else I hope you'll do more.
I have a lot of admiration for this story and how personal effort is involved. However, I have always had doubts about the future of this type of enterprise, as it is so focused on the founder and his ideals (like Pagani) that it is difficult for me to imagine what the future will be like for these brands without the founders.
Literally the best video I have seen with Christian and I have watched all of them.. You can just see how passionate, excited and devoted he is to his journey which is more than amazing! It was also incredible hearing about the early years of the company and seeing how many parallels there are with Mate Rimac's path. They were both on the verge of failing so many ideas, sacrificed absolutely everything and came out on top. Truly truly inspirational! Thank you Nico :)

I do hope Christian will make future models that do meet U.S. road legal specifications (I'm not a fan of the U.S. NHTSA but it is what it is).
You pulled out the genius of what is Christian von Koenigsegg in an interview like I've never seen. Excellent interview Nico. Chao
Christian von Koenigegg - the godfather of Car Engineering and Nico Rosberg -the F1 worldchampion! What a inspired Talk about mobility-great!!
This is inspiring because he is the first CEO I have ever seen express how important it to take care of his employees and admits whole-heartedly that he doesn't have backgrounds in engineering and such and works directly with his team. Its really awesome to see that. He is passionate and humble. I used to love Ferrari, but reading the connotations on them saying ppl are representing their brand incorrectly or just arrogance in general, it kinda turned me away from them. By no means am I in a position to own any of these vehicles, but if I could, my first choice would be Koenigsegg
Nowadays you hear just about everywhere, 1000 hp Nissan, or fiat or whatever, it’s like everyone can do it, BUT they all blow up when used on a track, or some never make it to the track and blow up on a dyno, or on the road… what is really impressive is to build a car that has over 1000 hp and offer a warranty for it, break records and then ride in it to your home, this is something that most people overlook. It’s like the dodge demon, you could spend a whole day doing quarters and then ride it home and start over again tomorrow while on your GTR , after 3 runs you will need a new clutch and differential…
Beyond Amazing, thank you Nico. What an an incredible interview with Mr. Christian Von Koenigsegg. Greetings from Portugal. Stay safe take care everyone.
This is really good. Thanks for making it :-)

What a great interview. I have to agree with all the positive comments, but I'd like to focus on your great interviewing style. Christian must endure the same questions and give the same answers countless times, but I love the way you dig for more details he doesn't normally share. I think Christian must have great respect for you and you can see the mutual respect in the give and take of the interview. He's interacting with you in a way he would never interact with a random car blogger. Like everyone else I hope you'll do more.
This gentleman is a legend!
the most interesting item car reviews I have seen... is a car cabin like a new pair of shoes..
CVK is the absolute embodiment of what we love about cars. PASSION and EMOTION. I Love It!!
That was an absolute awesome interview. Thanks Nico!!
He forces the super cars companies to change for more n more b8r ..and that's a very good lesson we can learn from it.....amazing
I have a lot of admiration for this story and how personal effort is involved. However, I have always had doubts about the future of this type of enterprise, as it is so focused on the founder and his ideals (like Pagani) that it is difficult for me to imagine what the future will be like for these brands without the founders.
Literally the best video I have seen with Christian and I have watched all of them.. You can just see how passionate, excited and devoted he is to his journey which is more than amazing! It was also incredible hearing about the early years of the company and seeing how many parallels there are with Mate Rimac's path. They were both on the verge of failing so many ideas, sacrificed absolutely everything and came out on top. Truly truly inspirational! Thank you Nico :)
