    Regera = to reign (it has no traditional gearbox uniqe sound)
    Agera = to act (was the world fastest car)
    Jesko = Name of his dad (insane gearbox)
    Gemera = Give more (its a 4 seater instead of 2 seater, 4 fullsize adults)
    CC 850 is a homage to the first car CC the first car Christian will by for himself.
    CCX was the car Top gear crashed (ate a tire)
    one : 1 first car that had a ratio of 1 hp per kg
    The ghost is a symbol of the former ghost squadron (Swedish airforce squadron) that had its base where koeningsegg builts its cars today. Only cars built in the hangar can have the symbol.
    Back in 2002 I lived close to the Koeningsegg factory that burnt down to the ground.

    The CC850 is the evolution of the CCX that uses the gearbox from the Jesko (pronounced Yesko) which is a 9 speed which is only operated by changing the clutches to engage which gear ratio you want at the given moment rather than the traditional duel clutch which relies on the gear to be selected to achieve the gear ratio on either side of the two halves. That's what they developed for the Jesko and redeveloped it for the CC850 to not only have the 9 speed auto multi clutch but also can be put over to manual mode to drive it as a stick shift using a manually operated clutch pedal as was the original CC8 and CCX! Mind blowing 🤯

    Fun fact: Koenigsegg has a patent on their "synchro double-helix" door hinges which allow them to open like that.
    Also, when you were talking about their engines, it's kind of funny that you should mention Ford engines first, as when Koenigsegg were starting out, until the Agera, I think, Koenigsegg did use Ford engines. They used the Panther V8 from cars like the Mercury Maurauder. Then, with the Agera they began to manufacture their own engines.

    Koenigsegg are just in the front on innovation and revolutionary solutions. And pushing the boundaries of road legal without compromise in terms of performance, design, safety and comfort. The Jesko, Jesko Absolut and Gemera are something else. Especially the latter is unheard of. But the Regera with it's direct drive was quite the thing when it was introduced... And Koenigsegg have just kept on improving and introducing wilder technologies ever since. The 7 clutch 9 speed gearbox for example is universe in itself to lesrn about... Reading up on Koenigsegg it's almost a guarantee to fall in love with them and becoming your new favorite brand. And Christian is a gem. A true owner and founder who is involved in every process from idea to reality and love talking about it to show is passion, love and fire for what they do.

The user manual for the whole world except USA was maybe 20 pages. The user-manual for USA was 500 pages. It said the most ridiculous things in it like: do not put chair in microwave, do not eat chair, do not use chair for landing on moon etc etc. It's like if it's not written down, the company making the chairs is liable when it's users are not using common sense.

    18:30 fun fact: the Gemera was planned with a 2l inline 3 with 600!!! horsepower in itself (plus the e-motors) but as of now, they realised it can fit the V8 they use in other models, so there is an option to get a 4 seater car with 2100!! horsepower

    the CC850 has a insane gearbox, usually you hear that a manual transmission gets converted to an automatic, well that one is the other way around while still having the option to be automatic, it even has a functional clutch pedal so you can drive it or stall it or grind a gear like a proper manual.

    • @nissejacke4211
      @nissejacke4211 11 месяцев назад

    There's also variant of Gemera with V8 internal combustion engine combined with electric motors having total power around 2300 bhp if you think 1700 is not enough for you and you can accept heavier vehicle.

    Long post about my previous cars and how I feel about Volvo. Tl:dr it's an amazing car
    I upgraded from a 2017 Range Rover Evoque diseal to a 2023 Volvo XC60 B6, the Volvo is hands down the nicest car for around 100k AUD, everyone that gets into it says the exact same thing.....wait this is a Volvo, I never knew they were this nice inside.
    The engine is 300hp, dual charged so a Supercharger and a Turbo with an extremely mild hybrid system. Compared to my Range Rover it's so smooth, the Range Rover has a softer ride but that's only because it's on much thicker tyres which obviously provides more suspension.
    I'm going to buy a Polestar 3 or the equivalent in three years time, can't wait. My wife drives a XC40 Electric version and omg is that car quick and fun to drive.
    She loves it and says it much nicer than her Mercedes AMG A250. And we thought those cars were much much nicer than my 2014 Subaru Forester XT and more refined and better interior than her mk7 Golf GTI.
    Volvo's are extremely nice cars and everyone I've taken in either of ours says the same. Heavily underated car.
    And I only got the Volvo because the SQ5 I wanted had over a years wait list. I'm extremely glad I've chosen the Volvo. The self driving on the highway is phenomenal being in Australia and driving 7 and a half hours every other weekend (Canberra to Melbourne) is a life saver. Maps in a head up display is actually the handiest thing ever in a city that's foreign to me.

    The last motor they have is a V8 biturbo developing 1100HP (5 liters). And with 3 eletric engines to support that that can give 700 horse power on top of that... yes, inpressive

    • @halofreak1990
      @halofreak1990 11 месяцев назад

      On pump gas, yes. On E85, the power rises to 1500HP. As for the electric motors, they actually did away with the 3 separate motors and replaced it with a single, 800 HP model, dubbed "Dark Matter"

    Oh a little bit offtopic. But did you know that they have started to use kevlarcarbon for example drift car bodypanels. Rear and front bumper, doors, trunk and sidepanels. It is lighter than fibreglass. And more flexible than carbonfibre. It is also very tough matrial. You can break it, but you need BIG forces. Downside is, it is expensive

    These cars are so rare that many car enthusiast in Sweden have never even seen one irl.
    I have had the great opportunity to not just see, but I have been blessed with riding passanger seat in two different models, Regera and CCXR. And I have seen the Jesko.
    But I don't know how someone would ever afford one. Even if winning $100 million on lotto you would have to pay $2-4 for the car, then add insurence, gas, repair etc...

    By the way, in 2024 the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is the world record holder of fastes car in the world with having achieved a top speed of 330 mp/h, which translates to 531 km/h.
    For reference: The 2022 released racing game "Gran Turismo 7" had a Concept Car that was imagined to be released in 2035, the Dodge SRT Tomahawk X VGT, which could achieve a top speed of around 630 km/h.
    That would have been about 13 years in the future from the games release onward.
    But with the record the Jesko Absolut achieved in real life and not just plain theory it seems like we might be able to achieve that speed mark a lot earlier than we thought.
    What times to be alive.

    The Koenigsegg Gemera is a 4-seater hypercar, where 4 adults can fit and 4 proper suitcases are included. The engines you have to choose from are a 3-cylinder engine and an electric engine that together provide 1850 horsepower. If you choose a V8 engine together with an electric motor, you have 2300 horsepower.
    Google koenigsegg gemera and look at the pictures or the video on RUclips.

    The US would rather enforce companies to up security on cars than to fix their roads and make them safer for example use roundabouts, less stop signs (so they have meaning), better public transport so there's fewer cars and lower speed limits.
    Just a thought :)

    You are not the only without authorization 😅. Gemera is a four seater (so the largest one) two door car with option of a 3 cylinder or an 8 cylinder engine with the newly developed transmission which can be used with a stick shift manually, by paddle shifters or in a completely automatic mode. The manual uses just 6 different ratios (if not wrong) the paddle and auto has 9 gears. All the gears are connected all the time so it is even faster than the double clutch transmission.

    I don't know if they still do it, but they used to use a unique CF weave that had titanium strands woven into it - CF composits are very still and strong, but have poor impact energy absorbtion, when they do fail, which the Ti provides for a very small weight cost.

    Gemera (Swedish ”ge mera”, meaning ”give more”, put together to one word), is pronounced like ”yemera”. When one of the vowels eiyäö follows a g, the g is pronounced like the y in ”yet”. Otherwise it's pronounced like the g in ”good” and ”garden”. There's also a third pronunciation of the letter g in some French loan words like ”geni”, ”genre” and ”ingenjör”. In those cases the g is pronounced closer to the French pronunciation.
    There are of course exceptions to these rules, ”agera” being one of them. The pronunciation of the g in ”agera” is the same as the g in ”good”, which it shouldn't be according to the rules.

    I know that Koenigsegg and Buggati have been neck on neck for the fastest car in the world for years. I do not how it is now but I found "The fastest car in the world is: Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (330 MPH) That title goes to the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which recorded a staggering 330 mph top speed earlier in 2023." That is pretty fast.
