    Christian has to be one of the most humble genius's ever to have graced us on this planet. He is excited to show you EVERYTHING and talks to everyone as if they're walking around a stock 55 Chevy 2 door post! What an absolute gentleman. He builds my favorite vehicle, not that I'd ever be able to afford one, but it is still my favorite. This is so well done, and so flipping cool!!! Thank you both!

      @@MrJarenko0097 With a good enough catalytic converter like the ones MIT are working on that can capture all CO2 emissions they are far from dead my friend. It is a shame that Koenigsegg is not working on a super efficient standard road car. Imagine a carbon fibre monocoque four seater that has a top speed of 80miles an hour and gets 100 miles per gallon?
      Electric cars still have the issue of extremely heavy and environmentally harmful batteries. The production capabilities and techniques are already so efficient for combustion engines that they can produce them way more efficient than any electric car.
      Perhaps you were talking about hydrogen powered cars? They are still combustion powered I guess...

      I'd LOVE to have access to their knowledgebase and engineering might to create cars that may not be 5-figure but low 6-figure and still bring similar excellence to cars people would drive to work and across Europe.
      Imagine these guys getting serious about a car to bitch slap a stationwagon such an E62, Panamera Turbo S, etc.
      Decent composite frame, Gemera like drivetrain with perhaps 2 inline torque converters, or one TV plus a 3spd gearbox that helps the electric drivetrain run cool. If the base level is €200-300K rather than all optioned out, a lot can be done and plenty would be sold. Even a "bland" all-electric Koenigsegg super-Volvo V90 would absolutely be bought in numbers.

      They plan on using AI to maximize the parameters of free valve...for all fuels. As you probably know, but for the sake of other readers: this valve train doesn't require a conventional throttle and can switch from 2 stroke aspiration...to four stroke miller cycle within milliseconds. With AI pushing boundaries, we may discover fueling and timing parameters that would have taken years of research, solved in very little time.

    " we are not shifting gears, we are clutching" and the scary thing is that he not only explains it very well,
    he and his engineers have invented that stuff and actually make it work ! That man is a genius not only because of the tech he invents,
    but to create a car company around it that is actually profitable and gives jobs to hundreds of people.

    100+ years of huge companies making gearboxes and on the death bed of ICE cars, it's to Koenigsegg to design that gearbox.
    They just make everyone else seem unmotivated shopping cart engineers.

    When you look at the price of these cars, you think the profit margins must be insane but then you watch these videos of Christian explaining the components, technology and innovation inside the chassis and the level of detail. They definitely deserve to charge whatever they want for these cars.

    Christian is great at explaining complicated engineering while being engaging & digestible so you can understand what he saying.
    The 9 speed lights peed gearbox needs to be licensed to be used in motorsport. It would be incredible in F1, WEC, GT3, WRC...
    The Gamera rear has the look of Porsche 918 with rear high mounted exhausts.
    Only think not keen in is the Jesko Attack name it does not have the same flow as Jesko Absolute. Jesko Chrono I feel sounds better and has similar reference to achieving maximum track laptime.
    Just need a big lottery win and 2 build slots for a Gamera & Jesko Absolute 😎🤞
