I love how excited Christian gets talking about the engineering of his cars. He has explained everything so many times and yet every time he just gets super enthused by it.
It's not just his enthusiasm it's his out of the box thinking that gets me. He will definitely go down in history as a true pioneer shame he's come along abit late. I wanted to see a freevalve screaming NA V12 but the green people don't want them. The Matte Rimac story gets my EV vote
Your access to Christian and his brain has truly given us car addicts a way to experience an automobile that I personally only get to see parked up on rallies or at cars & coffee with security guards around it. The “Eggs” and Pagani are 2 automobiles that are rolling art that deserve commemoration but Christian in particular will go down in history as an innovator that is under appreciated in his time solely because his products are financially unattainable. I can’t wait to see what he and his team come up with next!
I hope one day in the future they give us a roaring V8 and or a smaller block, super efficient, entirely on synthetic fuels, climate neutral production and climate neutral driving with a big sound :)
Supposedly Christian and his team are making an “affordable” Koenigsegg, called the RAW. It will probably still be more than $250k but still more attainable than the other Koenigsegg models.
Very much agree.. but then you realize that Pagani is kind of just sourcing their engineering whereas Koenigsegg is internally all in house . The sequence on Gold was fascinating
What i love about Koenigsegg Automobile is the fact that every car they release has something different something more innovative then the last , if you look through all of Koenigseggs history with every different model it gets better and different no model is the same , unlike other manufacturers that basically just change the body whilst the car underneath is exactly the same just retuned , with Koenigsegg absolutely everything changes from one model to the next and that's impressive pushing boundaries
I also heard CvK explaining this hundreds of times, but every time is as exciting as the first time, neither himself or anyone listening will get bored 🤩🤩
What I truly appreciate, is that while we have all heard these technical explanations 100s of times, Christian surely has told them tens of 1000s of times by now and he still expresses as much enthusiasm about their creations as the first day they were revealed! That's a man of passion and love for his craft!
When I hear him repeating the technical details the 1001th time, I still learn something new. It is not a prepared speech he just repeats as is, he just knows this much and more.
Christian Von Koenigsegg is by far one of my favorite people. Mostly because of his passion, drive and what he does in the super/hyper car world. He sets the bar quite high! Not to mention he just comes across as a very interesting, inventive and at times being a tad of a mad scientist kind of person.. and that’s why he’s the absolute best! Loving this channel
The friendship you two have forged is very cool to see. I’m quite sure he appreciates your genuine enthusiasm for the depth of design perfection and creativity that goes into these creations of his. Think about how great it must feel when you craft an idea out of your head and can literally drive through the results of bringing it to life, then having someone there you genuinely enjoy being around who is more than willing to take it all in and share it with the world as a part of the friendship. Excellent stuff. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
The entire concept behind all things Koenigsegg is so far beyond Bugatti or any other manufacturer of hyper cars. They are alone at the top of the hyper car pyramid.
I wouldn't judge too early. Im a die hard Koenigsegg Fan and would prefer one over a Bugatti anyday! But the fact the Bugatti can easily be daily drivable without any problems (except the empty wallet after a simple oil change for example) makes it very impressive! A fully daily drivable 1500HP car is crazy! And its like Porsche, it will do it all day anyday without taking a sweat. Its completely different to a koenigsegg but also incredibly impressive, though from another perspective.
It still blows my mind how your channel doesn’t have more subs and views. It’s absolutely one of the best automotive channels on any platform. I dig it so much and appreciate you bringing everything you do to us viewers who watch. Wish you all the success you deserve and god bless brother !! Oh and Koenigseggs are my absolute favorite cars on this planet. So the fact you have the access to Christian and the cars is phenomenal man!! Bravo
I found myself having to watch this one again, lol. Christian is literally one of my favorite people to listen to while he speaks on the technology Koenigsegg develops into its creations. But in this video there is the infusion of excitement that was definitely sparked by all of that theory regarding the tech in action, in his hands, operating in real time as his brain is running through every tech thing happening in real time. What a friggin’ GREAT feeling that must be!! Every time I have the opportunity to fully experience the capabilities of what I’ve created, it’s a fantastic sense of satisfaction. But when it includes such dynamic realities as the tech that brings a car to such terrific performance and all the nuances that allow for it, I can absolutely understand how the excitement just comes pouring out. Awesome. 😎
Mr Von Koenigsegg always comes across as a really nice person, the love and passion for what he does just oozes out of him in interviews .it must be great to be able to consider him as a friend . i'm not jealous in the slightest James honestly.
Holy shit dude this might be the ultimate passenger lap you can imagine, driven around Goodwood by Christian von Koeningsegg in a Regera talking to Lord March on a sunny day.
Its incredible how planted the Regera is around corners! Its like its on rails. There is not even a shudder of the steering wheel when cornering. The Regera seems to be the ultimate thrilling car experience. No wonder the value of the Regara has quadrupled in just 4 years.
I’ve ever seen a car LOOK so damn fast on video. You can easily see that the handling and capabilities of an EGG is unreal. That even had me exhilarated and excited just to watch. Amazing
There are three automotive makers I have the utmost respect for; Koenigsegg, Rimac, and Gordon Murray. They sit at the apex of automotive art in the 21st century. Still, I keep thinking, there will always be cars faster, better, and yes, more beautiful. Turn the page and there's something else. For me, however, there is only one masterpiece of automotive history touched by the hand of God... a Porsche by Singer.
Love that he took influence from the john player special car for the gold leaf. This man has immaculate taste for car design, makes sense his cars are always so beautiful
Mr JWW absolutely Incredible Video I think it's absolutey incredible that you got to go for a ride in that Absolutely Gorgeous Regera at Good wood Motor Circuit with Christian Von Koenigsegg behind the wheel and that you got to meet the Duke of Richmond
Wow !!!does it get any better than riding shotgun w Koinegsegg in his own car on a circuit in which he was comfortable. Really made his product shine in that edit I love when they test high speed braking and how straight and true the car remains under such stress Just 1 more amazing engineering marvel to add to the list with this brand!
Christian is the ice version of Elom musk, visionary innovative and he can hold a conversatiom with anyone from the engime department to the paint deparment cause his knowledge about every nut and bolt in his cars are crazy
Amazing, being driven in one of the fastest and most expensive cars in the world by the owner of the company that built it. Also, i think i spotted Tej Lalvani at 13:13, i guess we know who the owner is. (could be Tara Ruby in the video a couple of times as well. Amazing content once again, thanks for this,
James, love the content but please note that Lord March (sic) inherited his father's titles in 2017 and is now the Duke of Richmond and Gordon. It's a fairly big upgrade! To be totally accurate, he is: 11th Duke of Richmond, 11th Duke of Lennox, 11th Duke of Aubigny and 6th Duke of Gordon. His eldest son is now Lord March.
This Is a masterpiece... but imagine a final edition Regera RS... no electric doors, manually opened rear clamp shell, fixed rear wing and Agera RS carbon wheels... now that would be masterpiece
Regera is the more luxury model of Koenigsegg, and it's already has it successor, and that is the Gemera. So I don't think they will produce an RS version. But, I am just a fan, so maybe I am wrong haha
Such a strange dynamic when you compare the engine note to the speed on track. Because it's not conventional, you have to brake using your speed as reference rather than gear and engine note to be a guide.
James, this ain't the first video where your mic is having issues dealing with different sounds... Need to fix that, it's annoying changing volume up and down through the whole video just to hear conversations...
Wait so the man built a car he apparently can’t fit in with the roof on? I know the helmet adds a lot, but it still seems his head would be sticking out..
Its so different when I see other supercar youtuber getting their orders for a non Koneigsegg car. Many questions are following with the usual sales pitch, and the technical description are very limited. This is the really the other side of that spectrum.
I love how excited Christian gets talking about the engineering of his cars. He has explained everything so many times and yet every time he just gets super enthused by it.
Mr Koenigsegg engineering. So passion meets engineering = mind blow results. Pure joy for every car lover. And for Creator.
It's not just his enthusiasm it's his out of the box thinking that gets me. He will definitely go down in history as a true pioneer shame he's come along abit late. I wanted to see a freevalve screaming NA V12 but the green people don't want them.
The Matte Rimac story gets my EV vote
Came to say the same thing. His passion is what makes these things stratospherically above other manufacturers for performance and art.
Your access to Christian and his brain has truly given us car addicts a way to experience an automobile that I personally only get to see parked up on rallies or at cars & coffee with security guards around it.

The more I watch Christian, the more I respect the hell out of him. Such a badass man ✊
Best looking Regera I have seen
I didn’t catch a word of what was being said in the car but I thoroughly enjoyed that conversation 😂🤣😂
Awesome video. Its incredible what comes out of Koenigsegg factory!!
Love that he took influence from the john player special car for the gold leaf. This man has immaculate taste for car design, makes sense his cars are always so beautiful
This was the best explanation you've ever done, Christian! So easy to follow. Thank you!
The ONLY car factory owner that can describe the tech in that way AND show it on the tracks.. 😂👏🏻👍🏻😀🏆🥇
Mr JWW continues to bring the top notch content
Christian is a guy you'd enjoy talking to all day.
He really is. He’s like your favorite grandfather who still knows how to play at the highest level.
Perfect interior
The car is so beautiful and to have the king there alongside this video is awesome🙏💯👻
I always get excited when a see your new videos go up
What another huge privilege to be in the presence of this automotive icon. Hope you enjoyed your day as much as I did watching the video!
Christian looks like a bond movie villain at the intro
Him and elon musk would make an amazing Bond villain team.

What an amazing moment riding along in the car for the worse camera possible being used
Just found and subscribed to your channel.........my new favorite!
Thanks and welcome!
Great to hear he used to do laps as a lad. :)
Great content James!
Christian is the closest to a real world Tony Stark that we will probably get and he is even down to earth 😍😍
That engine is like the SEIKO Spring-drive. :)
Wow !!!does it get any better than riding shotgun w Koinegsegg in his own car on a circuit in which he was comfortable.
Really made his product shine in that edit

Is dude jewish like Elon Musk?
@@TasmanianWolves no I believe not
id live in a trailer park the rest of my life if i could own one of those hah
Literally
8:06 yes, indeed it is, Christian! 😂
Amazing, being driven in one of the fastest and most expensive cars in the world by the owner of the company that built it.
Also, i think i spotted Tej Lalvani at 13:13, i guess we know who the owner is. (could be Tara Ruby in the video a couple of times as well.
Amazing content once again, thanks for this,
Engineer: How many gears do you want?
Chris: no
Christian Van Koeniesegg is is a man who knows, feels and understands what he is talking about basically a the best in the game .
*the whole video is burnt of mild sepia. Editor what were you smoking?* 👹
More of this please.
I love this project with Koenigsegg!
Awesome vision, awesome technology, awesome
achievements!!
The Regera - stunning
The lady - stunning
I never get tired of listening to Christian explain the engineering in his cars…
I could listen to him and Gordon all day
Love the Reg plate on that car
Amazing, you're truly living the life living the life
A true genius speaking. Brilliant video James, thank you. 👍
If I owned one, I would yank that wiper off and put it in the car till I needed it.

Me: Being 6’4” I hope a tall guy starts making cars so I can fit.
Christian: No!
Jesko you might fit. ✅ they redesigned the cockpit and put in a taller centre roof
Would be helpful to have subtitles during the driving

Man how epic was that ride along
Track footage is unbelievable ! CvK can drive !
CvK really reinvented the wheel at this point.
Christian, you still deserves the Nobel price in motoring!!!!
That gold leaf looks phenomenal!
Pretty sure the rimec decimated that record
Christians like he's been doing 20 years of lap tuition, effortless & sublime 👍
Looks like it was a blast to drive.
I'll love to see Christian and Elon works together.
Maybe one day ...
Why? He is working with Rimac who is much more up his alley than Elon ever could br
Elon had to do a lot of catch up
Elon, Christian, and some cold rocket propelled electric racer to show the Formula E how proper modern racing is done!

Very nice dudes . Christian is like modern day Carol Shelby
Great video - fantastic car - but I do feel it needs Carbon wheels to complete its amazing looks 👍
Wow Christian hitting those apexes!
I think I need a cigarette after this
So there are no test drivers lol he is the test driver for all his products lol
Christian probably explained the meaning of life during that drive. To bad that you couldn´t understand a single word lol 😅
