- Koenigsegg just unveiled the most perfect modernization I’ve ever seen.
Koenigsegg revealed their first production car, the CC8S, 20 years ago and to celebrate, they have just unveiled what seems to be an absolute perfect modernization of it - the CC850.
In this video I’m going to let you know why this is such a special and well executed design by comparing it side by side to the original 2002 CC8S just to show you what I mean when I say perfect modernization.
In typical Koenigsegg fashion the powertrain underneath this gorgeous body is an absolute beast. The Koenigsegg CC850 is powered by a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 pumping out a raging 1,385 hp and guess what the weight is? Exactly the same as the hp at 1,385 kg giving it a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio.
To transfer that power to the wheels you can decide whether to have it in automatic mode OR, listen to this, engage a proper 6-speed gated manual transmission.

I still remember being a kid and seeing the original in a car magazine for the first time. I was so blown away by it. Such a unique shape. I'm happy they've stuck with it, it really suits them.
Me to, not a kid but at the time it was way way above anything else
I remember it from Need for speed undercover… god the nostalgia
This might be a little off like but when I was a kid when I first played need for speed undercover I remember seeing the very first Koenigsegg in the game and it was a CCX and it was a blast to drive 🙃
What about comparing Bugatti Chiron SS with Koenigsegg Jesko?
Same story. I never forgot.
Hats off to the designer. Looks absolutely stunning. I agree with you on the stance - it’s perfect. The gearbox is genius. Why choose between manual and automatic when you can have both. Thanks for the great content recently. 👌🏻
I’ve been waiting for this all day. Thank you
el dorado wasn't lying
both is good
It’s not a manual gearbox in the sense as most people understand a manual gearbox
It’s the same paddle shifted transmission that is in the Jesko. The shifter and clutch pedal have no mechanical connection to the gearbox whatsoever and all the tactile feel is simulated.
Still very ingenious though.
@@thehawk05 not true. Christian says you have a direct connection hydraulically between the clutch pedal and the clutch itself!
@@TamiyaPhilippW appreciate you... #savethemanuals
The CC850 is a beautiful masterpiece.... The modernization of the car just looks absolutely stunning. And the engineering and industry innovations they've been releasing over the past few years is absolutely MAD
I’m absolutely in love with the Engineering behind the Tiny Friendly Giant. Everything always got bigger and bigger. Up to W16 motors. Yet they went smaller and made a 3 Cylinder with 600HP.
It looks so good, as Christian Von Koenigsegg said, it’s a timeless design, nicely modernized
Love it when car company bring back old legends into the modern era, like the Countach and 400Z.
The new countach is a terrible example of a modernization. Looks like a hurrican with a light bodykit, if that. The redesign drawn done by another youtuber (can't find the video but it was a red one) at least kept the essence of the countach. The new one does none of that.
@@EvilCerealBoX exactly
@@EvilCerealBoX ....have seen many Instagram based designers doing their own interpretation of Countach & most look stunning compared to the actual thing being released. But its clear it was all company based internal compromises for development costs factors.
The new Countach is a disappointment for both people who loved the purity of the 70s iteration and people who loved the wild iteration of the 80s.
It doesn't get more hate because the new generation of kids don't know what it could be. For the rest is offensive and a shameful cash grab that doesn't respect the name of the model.
@@alex.cole33 I guess you and E-C-BX hate people who like the new Countach? Why don't people accept other everyone have their own opinions and tastes?
3:23 the tires go like three fifths up the car and the car is like 2.5x wide as it is tall. If THATS not planted then idk what is, this thing is beautiful
The gearbox is *incredible* . Hats off to Christian and his team. He always comes up with these amazing revolutionary ideas
The gearbox is fake af. It isn't a manual and an automatic at the same time. It's an automatic. The only difference is that instead of having paddle shifters which you can use to select the gears yourself you get a fake gearstick and even faker clutch pedal that do the same job.
At least its better than paddle shifters you can actually get a modernised feel of the manual gearbox
@@jonwill2429 It's bullshit, it's just like an electric car that has the sound of a V8 come out out of the speakers.
@@Boris_V I think that clinging on to manuals is more bs. The sad truth is that automatics are the future, just be happy they even have an engine to begin with.
@@domcars Where did I ever say that I'm clinging on to manuals?! I have both an automatic and a manual car, I like them both.
Engineering a complete fake system with gearstick and clutch pedal to make an automatic seem like a manual is absolutely ridiculous is what I'm saying.
Absolute masterpiece. This is the perfect way to modernize an iconic car. I wish we would have got this treatment with the Honda NSX or the Toyota Supra. Maybe other manufacturers will learn from Koenigsegg.
Once again Bugatti and Hennessy launch a roofless car but Koenigsegg says hold my beer and launches a manual hypercar 🤯
Just want to add this: it's not a manual in a traditional sense, the shifter doesn't have any linkage to the gearbox and neither does the clutch pedal. One just senses the selected gear and the other the pedal position, just like a sim racing rig and transmits the info to the ECU which controls the gearbox. However they say the feedback is tuned to feel like a "real" manual car and I bet it's true. All in it's a great innovation which no other company attempted, so props to them!
You're saying once again as if Bugatti and Hennesey do roofless cars often, they don't. Bugatti hasn't made a roofless car since the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse which was produced in 2012, so its been 10 years since Bugatti has made a roofless car yet you say' once again' like it was just last year. Lets not forget the Bugatti Mistral is a completely new design and well... the CC850 is just a modern revamp of a CC8S.
@@h2wr .....agree on your Bugatti based points, but its apparent the Mistral is basically a Divo/Voiture Noire roadster...especially the front end design and the side scoops. The only new is the rear end & being roofless.
@@changsangma1915 I can agree that their is most definitely inspiration/ aspects taken from La Voiuture Noire however I see very little in terms of the Divo. If you compare the 1 off La Voiture Noire and Mistral side by side the cars have very distinct differences in stance, design and road presence. Moreover Bugatti didn't simply take an existing model and just take the roof off as with the Veyron GSV or Veyron Grand Sport, they have put a clear and dedicated effort into creating a whole new car to signify the end of the W16 era, a fitting send off which wraps up Bugattis years of elegant, prolific design language into 1 limited edition car. Koenigsegg on the other hand, did as Lamborghini did with the new Countach, recreate an old model, it is evident Koenigsegg didn't deviate from the design philosophy of the CC8S from 2002 and simply had to modernise a few features such as the front and rear lighting arrangement which I argue is very low effort especially coming from Koenisegg who are known for their innovations. Whilst the result is much better than Lamborghini's new Countach I can't exactly say the CC850 is that special, it's just bringing back an old name for the sake of money and notoriety.
@@h2wr .....the majority of general audience wont pick up such technical nuances, the first impression they get seeing some pictures in social media and will react to say "oh another divo-voiture noire dressed up as a new car". Infact most still think the Voiture Noire is a Chiron variant with new body kit. Average joe do not have the logical range to see around the whys and nots in the car industry. The CC850 is a well thought product that do not revolt on its own brand identity. The original model established the brand image & it was just waiting to be modernised at some point cause the design is a trademark silhouette....Timeless shape if said. It makes no sense to sprinkle too much into its sculpture where less is what makes it stand out cause it was already perfect.
@@h2wr You had me until the special-argument. In my opinion, they modernized the design and added an immense level of modern specialty. They doubled the HP and reinvented the shifting. In terms of modernizing they went way and beyond. The saying " Don't change it if it's not broke " got ramped up. They started with timeless, made it even prettier and still cranked it to 11. Making money is not the idea with a limited run like this. It's all about making a statement, creating something outstanding and building a legacy
It really is a perfect package as a car, from the looks to the tech! And also manual speedo is a great decision, it looks awesome!
Today was a dream car festival. I wonder what will be the 5th one today
The transmission situation is mind-blowing! They use 9spd from the Jesko and they linked the shifter and the clutch pedal to the selectors and clutches of the gearbox through hydraulics. The H-pattern select between different 6 of the 9 ratios depending on the driving mode. And then, when you swing all the way to the right, overcoming the lockout, you can select between R and D :)
No they didn't link the selectors and the clutches through hydraulics. The whole manual gear selector and clutch pedal are shift-by-wire. Meaning it's just all a bunch of unnecessary bullshit to make the driver believe they're driving a manual car. They basically just fit a fake gear selector with a bunch of fake mechanics and a fake clutch pedal in there while they could've done all of that with just two paddle shifters.
@@Boris_V dude, they explained it quite clearly. There's a direct hydraulic link between the clutch pedal, the shifter and the gearbox. In the case of the shifter in particular, the computer decides which valves to actuate depending on the driving mode, so you get different ratios to play with. But that's the only "shift by wire" part of the system :)
@@zahari_s_stoyanov Please give me your source then, because every explanation I found says basically what I said above.
@@Boris_V Christian Von Koenigsegg himself explained it. You can check out Mr JWW's video for example. Or Vehicle Virgins'. It's a really simple system really AND an engineering marvel in my opinion
@@zahari_s_stoyanov I watched Mr JWW's video where Christian Von Koenigsegg himself explains it and he literately says it's all done by wires and software, even the clutch. You didn't understand what he explained at all.
It's nothing more than a simulation and definitely not an an engineering marvel imo. The only thing I find impressive about it is that they claim it really feels like a manual, so if that's really true it's somewhat impressive imo. But in the end it's just the same as an electric car having the sound of a V8 come out of the speakers.
Excellent review. Sasha Selipanov is a true design genius. I had the pleasure to take his original sketch model and develop it into the sculptural masterpiece you see today.
wonder if it could do a more... Squared design, like an old 80's car but new whinout the smooth lines of a moder car
I’m such a fan of Swedish car companies, and Koenigsegg is no exception.
Thanks for the like Bembli! 😁
As a swede i need to know, whats your all time favorite swedish car? :)
So...no one's gonna talk about the cat?
This car is absolutely drop dead gorgeous! Its my favourite Koenigsegg yet by far.
Btw this car just shows how miserably Lamborghini failed with the half assed Countach (Aventador reskin..) remake....
It feels like every other day you’re uploading a vid like “new perfect modernization design”. It seems like we’re solidly in a new car design renaissance and it’s awesome
Loving the frequent content!
Loving frequent car unveilings
New car every hour it feels 😅
That car is going to be untouchable in a few years if it isn't already. It's literally placing the bar so high that I'm sure it will be one of the most memorable of this decade
They straight up took the shape of the CC8 and modernized it, it is so damn cool. For me this is the best heritage car I’ve ever seen.
The mechanism in that car is over level
Koenigsegg never fails to amaze us car enthusiasts.
!!
👆
This is a perfect example of retro-modernization. When I see the new Countach, I still see a variant of the Aventador in it because of the lines. This one though - chef's kiss!
This is what making cars should be like! I love this car!
I think something not mentioned enough is the fact that the body type hasn't been a hindrance to the performance at all. Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut flows through the air yet it's body style is still extremely reminiscent of the CC. That to me is truly incredible
I love the look of every Koenigsegg, and this one just makes me so happy and brings back memories of the original CC8S. I love your cat as well, so cute!
Brilliant explanation of the design Q, which I didn't see until you explained them, it's art on wheels.
I vididly remember when that model came out. I also had a notebook in school that had this displayed on the cover. Just brought back childhood memories. Beautiful and timeless design.
I like your profile picture
Magnificent and beautifully clean in design!
I love the rear so much, the taillights are just pleasure for my eyes, they did incredibly great job !
This is a masterful modern interpretation. I'm often critical, but this time the designer did an absolutely amazing job. I would make 3 minor tweeks to this to make it perfect
It's so weird that the CCR needed a rear wing to keep it planted, and that "only" had 800hp. The rear of this looks a bit empty without one, but so did the CC8S, after seeing the CCR honestly
CC850 does have an active rear wing. It is recessed seamlessly into the body panel when it's not needed. Like the Regera but smaller.
@@budokpantai i saw it after making the comment. Still think it looks dorky without a spoiler, just like the CC8S. If they do a modernised CCR or CCX I'll probably like those more
@@istvanlorinczi2817 I like it tho. But if you have the money, I am sure they can put a fixed rear wing however you like lol
@@istvanlorinczi2817 I think on the original, it complements the car visually as there is a visible void in the centre compared to the sides (like the o.g NSX). The CC850 can get away with this because there’s barely any space in the centre (like the rear of the Jesko).
@@istvanlorinczi2817 i don't understamd people who comment before watching stuff, before being actually informed about what theyre talking about. No hate or disrespect, its just bizzarre. I imagine you watching the car for 10 seconds, commenting, and then continuing to watch. Wtf, nonsense
Bro imagine having that type of transmission (auto/manual) in a project build or future sports cars/supercars. The possibilities would be limitless.
ahhh I cant stop looking at it, looks soo good
I can't believe how sexy these cars look from the back and side.
An explanation for how the transmission works: in auto, it is auto DCT, but in manual the clutch packs are controlled with the clutch pedal electrically. And the gears arebalso electrically selected. That's basically it. It's a simulated manual that is very very good.
My God it's that car beautiful, I remember Forza had the 2002 CC8S , and I fell in love
Haha yeah, I remember them adding it in back when Fortune Island came out.
This is the first car in a long time where I’m like deeply excited for. Cant buy it but it feels very good to have a car that brings such a clean timeless design. This will look awesome in the next 20-30 years. You just feel that
Kul video! CC850:n är min nya drömbil!🤘🤘🤘
Swedish perfection, just all out clean. Worlds best manufacturer of high end cars
waiting for this one
im soo in love with it
definitely my dream car
One of the best looking cars I've ever seen. Amazing how they were able to make all the callbacks to the original, but elevate it. Very rarely does a car maker modernize an icon and make it even better, but they absolutely nailed it here. 11/10 design. Interested to hear your thoughts on the new Bentley that just released. That car is the other end of the spectrum haha.
Nah, not the best. There are better looking cars like the Pagani Zonda R, Imola, Koenigsegg Gemera, De Temaso, Koenigsegg Agera RS, Jesko Absolut, Bugatti Chiron SS 300+, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, Bugatti LVN (Basically the best looking car to ever exist) etc. But sure this car is great looking. Wish it's in yellow color tho.
@@mahmoodluqmaanbinmahmooddi3837you do know that it’s completely opinion based right??
I also said it when I first saw this car on RUclips, it unreal the design is so good
This is like a 20 year old design, where they decided to revive the concept art version as the revival. Brilliant
My favorite youtube channel
Fin bil, bra video. 10/10
Koenigsegg never fail to impress!
This car is so damn beautiful, you should do a video like this on the zonda
It is so CLEAN🔥🔥
This is the perfect way to modernize a car. Great work from Christian and the team
Really nice video. Many people don't even notice. One other company who did great with modernization keeping their signature style is Bentley. Btw every Koenigsegg looks more than just a super car!
Those wheels are everything.
The only thing I didn't like in the first model was the rear lights with the silver rims. Now it's perfect. Probably one of the most beautiful cars of all time. Simple and beautiful
Thanks for redrawing the round shape of the wheels btw. I couldnt follow you without redrawing every inch of the car with red lines.
When I saw that Koenigsegg I knew that you will make a video about it
It looks amazing
This is nicer than anything they’ve done before
No flaws 🔥🔥🔥
I knew it!! You’re connected to
Sweden/Swedish somehow - I couldn’t really hear what you said but I’ve been a huge fan of your work and seeing that all info about you points to the states - but I’m sure I hear some Sweden in your pronunciation, makes me question my senses.. 😀 Keep up the good work and I’ll see you in the next one.
The car is simply stunning.
What magnificent unique machine
Falling in love ❤️
i am thoroughly in love with this car
I love Koenigsegg, this is why
I think Koenigsegg right now is the best in designing Hypercars compared to other car companies
The best view of the car is from the rear three quarter. It looks like it's flying. Looks better when you can see the exhaust and diffuser. Ideally I got used to seeing the Agera, Regera and Jesko with super short front overhangs but they've made the nose a tad longer for crash regulations. That is the one part that seems just a little, little stretched.
You're right. It is perfect. It's kinda sad that noone else managed it properly.
6:12 the clutch pedal is a regular hydraulic pedal (with some tricks involved due to the absence of synchronizers) but the shifter is not mechanical, it's 100% electronic.
I see you are the guy who makes the red circles on all those youtubers thumbnails.
Very nice.
Knew this vid was coming
Looks amazing! I hope they add CC850 in the new NFS game, Gran Turismo 7, Forza Horizon 5, and Forza Motorsport Reboot. It would be great!
May you make a Video about Bugatti W16 history, looking at every car from the 2005 Veyron 16.4 to Chiron, Centodieci, their friends, and finally the Bugatti W16 Mistral
I completely agree with you.
At first, I was expecting the CC850 to just be a rebadge of Jesko since that is the newest Koenigsegg car design.
However, the reveal of the CC850 blew my mind. They successfully captured the essence, the DNA, the design language of the CC8S and transplant it into the CC850. Plus, they managed to modernize the CC850 without making it look overly done. I love it that I can instantly recognize that the CC850 belongs to the CC series and not the Agera, Regera, or Jesko.
For instance, instead of sticking a huge rear spoiler like the Jesko, they designed the rear wing so that in most of the times, it is tucked away seamlessly with the body panel. This is definitely a homage to the CC8S which does not have a rear spoiler.
Majority are just being doing there thing coupe to convertible while others do something like this is just amazing and just Timeless
I wonder what u think of the Mclaren Selus GT
The needles in the gauge cluster kind Of reminds me of smartphone sim tray tools😅
I am surprised there are not more design analysis videos of Koenigsegg.
No one is analysing the Jesko, Regera or Gemera
Personally, it reminds me more of the CCR than the CC8S, due to the fact that the 8S did not have a spoiler between the tail lights and several other details, unlike the CCR, which I think is more reflected in this new, re-imagined version of the CC design.
I guess this is like a learning lesson for Lamborghini for their “countach”
I love your calico
i like the clean cut
This and the 2021 Lamborghini Countach LPI-800-4 are the greatest modernizations of any car I have ever seen. They are so damn cool.
Gorgeous car.
I wonder if a continuation of the side windows would improve the lines?
The title is SPOT ON
It's art in motion.
I think the CCR850 is more the essence of your design styling than Alexander Selipanov's type of styling
I think this is designed by Selipanov before he parted ways with Koenigsegg (which is a shame). The headlights has similar shape to the Gemera, and Selipanov designed the Gemera headlights with inspirations from the CC8S.
I agree, it's a great update and it does look very planted. Another redesign that works really well is the latest Civic Type R which also has a great stance.
the cc850 is a relly sexy car like the proportions everything just falls into place
I remember Mr. Koenigsegg after the release of the original CC saying that they never really designed the car for good looks. They just optimized the design from an engineering and aerodynamic point of view and result just happened to be a very good looking car.
Now I'm thinking about if Koenigsegg making a CC9S
This is the F40 of Koenigsegg. Perfect.
Yeah, sucks that the CC60 or whatever will probably be electric
@@34JohannesHeinz34 no it wont be. My bet is on v6 freevalve and some gargantuan electric system.
I think nobody is doing what Koenigsegg is doing right now, with being so innovative in technology and building that tech themself, as well as not jumping on the EV bandwagon completely but in-fact using best of both world's in their other models, and then offering earth shattering performance wrapped in gorgeous body.
I love that cat
We need this in FH:5. immediately please.
the koenigsegg cc850 reminds me of the entire history and evolution of the brand something like the end of fast and furious 7 when vin diesel and paul walker say goodbye and make a flashback of the entire franchise
I wish they would have kept the painted diffusor middle around the exhaust. Something is missing in that black hole.
This car and the brand are the only ones who have managed to make a masterpiece in the shape of old to new other manufacturers keep getting it wrong unless its a E-type jag then its ok as it loos stunning now as did years ago but other than that this car is the only one that has come out as a masterpiece
Reminds a lot of Saleen S7.
Fully agree, to me with the Regera the best looking eggs
Will you review the Bugatti? It is quite astonishing to look at.
