some say christian koenigsegg lost his hair to improve aerodynamics.
Ahahaha brilliant!
Lol
😅😅😅
Jay Leno grew his chin for the same reason.
Lol
Notice how Christian never says "I". He always says "We". The man is the personification of humility and extremely honorable in how he conducts himself. For a man who has accomplished so much in such a short amount of time, he never hogs the credit. Top guy, definitely someone all of us should aspire to be.
true
That's because he is from Sweden, where team effort supersedes personal achievement (unlike American culture).
please forgive me for soiling your true comment, but the exact opposite of trump
@@rancher12121 You're a pretty sad human if you can't see a nice comment without using it to put somebody else down.
I’ve found truly successful people turn out to be really humble, a lesson taught by Andy Frisella, whom I recommend to check out if you can, but wow ain’t that really inspirational, if you wanna be truly successful, be humble... must say it doesn’t apply to celebrities like modern “rappers” and such but yea
I could listen to Christian Vonn Koenigsegg talk about his cars all day long. So involved with every aspect of his cars right down to grade and size of bolts used and engineering. Shows his love for cars as a kid and took it to a level that no one has ever done. An inspiration to all.
Same here. Have been for a couple of years and still not tired of hearing him speak about his passion.
I love how 68 yr old (?) Jay is so interested in new technology & that Christian is such an engineer at heart and loves to talk about the design aspects of his cars. Great episode!
Jay was born in 1950, so he's 71 but close! Same birthday as my grandma, only reason I know

Christian Von Koenigsegg is a very humble man. From the very start he has never had a negative word to say only praise for the competition. At the end of the day, he is an innovator who puts his money where his mouth is!
And he knows his cars inside out - never a "maybe weighs...", "maybe runs on..", "maybe makes..." Just knows the answers because he lives and breathes the product
Hes the current God of autosports.
Open Roader he puts the cars he builds were his mouth is lol
The man could give a lecture on toilet paper, and people would be fully committed to listening to his every word.
Open Roader
Yes, that is what I like about him or Elon Musk. Both humble, and geniuses in their own way!
I love how Koenigsegg was not afraid to admit that the direct drive transmission was inspired by Tesla. Very humble dude
Most piston engine airplanes use/were designed with direct drive, to save weight. High Torque efficient engines, direct out to crank/propeller.
I'm pretty sure Christian Koenigsegg is the only person who designed & engineered a masterpiece & knows everything about it
Christian Von Koenigsegg is one of the nicest, most humble and smartest villains around.
"No, Mr. Bond- I expect you to die. If that's alright with you, I don't want to impose if you've got other plans."

Even though the guy in that Bond film was German, after reading your comment I still need to hear CVK to say "No Mr. Pagani. I expect you to _die_ "
(puts pinky finger to his lips) It costs.... one MILLION dollars!
Even Christian von Koenigsegg's Head is very Aerodynamic
The lack of eye brows helps drag coefficients
Hahahaha. Lab u bro
Apparently his balls are carbon fibre
Jon snow 🤣🤣
That's what happens when your brain throws out that much heat from processing at such a fast rate.
I have more respect for Koenigsegg than any other car maker in the world. I am so glad I got to see the man himself talk to Jay Leno. The luxury Regarra... a 2+ million dollar car for everyday use. Over 280 mph... Oh My Gawd. And it is totally street legal in California? Truly Amazing.
Ridiculously talented, visionary, humble engineer. Never stops pushing the envelope. Long may he continue.
Two guys worth more money than most will see in a lifetime... dressed like my dad and uncle at a family barbeque.
And whose ur dad.😂 Nice cmt btw
@barbara Corcoran Which watch is that?
Two very down to earth guys meeting.
Josip Hadžiegrić Kristian is wearing a Rolex and Jay a smart watch.
Lasse Riise Pocket watches are great, big movements, good for timekeeping and long lasting. It's probably the nickel in the stainless you're skin reacts to, and Rolex 904L has much more than regular 316L. Today there are many great alternatives if you're allergic, try ceramic, titanium or precious metals.
The way he talks about the car. He pours his heart in what he does. Way to go!
People of the Night was a great song (your avatar photo)
Role model
No
I just love to hear Christian talk about his cars. What’s humble and down to earth human being.
This is one of my favorite episodes ever...a genius and a true automobile historian and curator having a conversation.....I learned a lot.
Christian Von Koenigsegg is the man! Such a modest guy!
I could listen to Christian all day long. He explains the most technical aspects of his cars in a way that a common man can understand it.
A sheep dog...🙈
I wouldnt say that... I bet that watch is $300k+
He is the best at explaining his car. No smoke and mirrors. Just the facts. The numbers speak for itself.
H3 look like butter bean
Talking with Christian Von Koenigsegg seems to be like talking with a friend in the pub, great person.
bcz jay is awesome person to
@Nějaký pablb ne pravda.
he is no friend of yours
When you are rich as him and a potential client, of course!
@@nordimejia5790 I don't think he needs to be friendly to sell his cars.
Oh I remember a documentary many years ago on Christian Koenigsegg (and his wife) when they had a Fire at the first factory. A disused Aircraft Hangar. Love the story of the Ghost logo they build into every car.
I never get tired of Mr. Koeningsegg.
Christian von Koenigsegg, the kind of guy to sell a car for $2.2 million but still cares about tire prices
Max not too bad considering that the rs is reselling for $10mil+
I imagine that the tooling required to make a tire of this caliber is well into a million dollars. For a big company to dedicate their equipment and talent into it, it’s well worth that price. When they expect to only produce a couple hundred sets, then it gets very very expensive. Koenigsegg can afford it. However when you’re only selling 80 two million dollar cars, 1 million dollars for tires is far too much to justify. Their approach as a partnership rather than an exclusive product makes a lot more sense.
Whether I have my numbers right or not is up to us to guess, but I think my hunch is in the right proportions. Tires making up 1% or more of the production cost wouldn’t work for a small company.
@Manuel love the comment lol...unless you've been to Germany you just wouldn't understand!
Max true, the guy could price tag his cars at 10 million and people would still line up to buy them. The one:1 is now selling for 12 in the aftermarket.
Makes the car usable for every day use, that is Christian's philosophy. When hammered, the car will eat rubber fast so it would be really impractical to be stockpiling exclusive tyre treads.
Christian's IQ runs faster than a Bugatti.
How can a guy that's so smart think that shaving off your eyebrows is a good move aesthetically 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦♂️

@@muksimp89 It's from gut bacteria overgrowth causing auto immune problems from food. We have a parasite and bacteria epidemic in the Human digestive tract, but it won't be known for another 10 or 20 years, it's been highly suppressed. MMS drops can fix it. We all get parasites, there are over 140 digestive parasites in America alone, and 400 in Africa. Everytime we eat raw vegetables or undercooked food or any food that contains soil or has been handled by people who haven't washed their hands, we are exposed to digestive parasites. We all have severe parasite infections in our intestines. Taking MMS drops fixes problems which are actually parasite infections. See the book "The Parasite Menace." See Jim Humble the inventor of MMS drops. See "MMS Testimonials" on CZcams. This is just my opinion based on research, I am not a doctor.
Gotta love a guy that is this brilliant with his designs and this down to earth and accessible. Just seems like a good old fashioned real car guy.
Just when you think you're seeing amazing, the hood opens and bam...stunningly beautiful engineering. Love at 1st sight

Millions of dollars worth of cars and not a Gucci belt in sight
He is a pretty big guy for skinny jeans though
Well he is rich but he wears normal clothes 👍🏻 i mean he’s not conceited to wear LV GUCCI PRADA etc etc.
Not many 60+ year old people in general wearing Gucci belts are there? I'm sure when you see young rich people you'll see much more ostentatious clothing. When you get older you tend to focus on the things that really matter. But yeah, it's all about race.
gucci is for that low class that wants attention
Tee Kee so true
I love the presence that Mr. Koenigsegg gives, humble, modest, also seem determined at the same time. He also giving the presence of a leader who always put his employees first over anything else. Yeah, a leader, not a boss. I honestly would love to work with him making those rims even if it’s underpaid.
Some people said that CVK wasn't rich, because the money the company get for each car are significantly distributed for his "colleagues". But he certainly is wealthy; the Koenigsegg brand -- which includes the company's expert employees -- are definitely worth billions.
Jay is a legendary car guy and one of few individuals with the biggest and rarest car collection in the world. But he always lets his guests speak in length from their standpoint. Jay is an old-fashioned car guy with the obvious sentiment on American marques but he too has an open mind and big respect to new ideas and inventions in the automotive industry. No matter how smart and how rich the guest is, he always feels like the luckier man to be in the garage.
Nowhere near
"We're trying to break the 20 second, 0 - 200 MPH record. The current record is 21 seconds."
"Oh, who has the current record?"
"We do."
That's why I love Koenigsegg.
23 seconds.
The 1/2 mile cars that are 3K HP are far faster, of course. There are steerable versions of the 1/2 mile cars that are faster. I think Koenigsegg is simply trying to make a homologated car from a manufacturer that is very fast and he should be commended for that, but keep in mind that for far less money one can build a Lambo or Porsche with 1700 -2500 HP and be far faster.
@@stevennorsworthy2191 For less money you don't have a production car
A very street-able twin turbo Lambo with 2000 HP can do 0-200 in about 11 secs. or less at Shift Sector 1/2 mile events. You don't have to believe me, just go to Shift Sector website and see dozens of street cars modified that totally blow away the Knenigsegg cars for way less money.
@@stevennorsworthy2191 Comparing factory to modified is an entirely redundant argument
The problem is the length of this video. Could easily be 3 hrs and I would still watch this. Amazing car with two likeable people.
bg11053 there’s a documentary on CZcams about Christians cars. I think it’s by the /Drive network maybe. It’s in multiple parts and focuses on all the cool engineering aspects of his cars.
@@davidgammon4934 sure, will check it out.
"... I get a chance to drive cars like these, I really am the luckiest guy in the world." The words of a truly humble car guy!
Years later this car is still out of this world.
what an intelligent man, he explains his machine so wonderfully. great job.
he is so hands on in his company
"So how much is the car?" "2.2". Apparently, no need to add those annoying zeros onto the main numbers.
"who held the record before?"
"the Agera RS, so we did."
love it!
Big deal
You can tell that Mr. Koenigsegg is proud of what he does👏
Hi Jay, I’m very happy to have lived long enough to have seen this. WOW what innovation ‼️‼️. Thank you‼️‼️‼️‼️
CVK: We're going to try to get to 0-250mph in 20 seconds. Thats 3 seconds faster than the current record.
Jay: Who holds the record?
CVK: We do

who wouldnt want to work with him? he's making modern day art pieces with these vehicles
Typical Swedish to say we. We are a team👍🏻
The guy acts like your everyday guy so humble
Very cool
Very communist very cool 👍
The build quality on these cars are amazing. Form and function beautifully flowing together.
Liked the smile on Jays face when he hit the robo door button.
love the fact that Christian uses "we" instead of "i". we make, we invented and so on.. 👍🏼
skarn911 Unless he is using the ‘Royal We’ throughout the interview... which would also be fine. (Koenig does mean “King”!!)
Typical Swedish to say that!
An actual humility that is totally foreign to Americans. He isn't desperate to talk about himself at every moment; he lets his production speak for itself.
Unlike elon
Sam Harper Yeah *all* Americans are like that
I am amazed at how Christian can answer any question you give at him and how well he explains it.
He's deeply involved with all aspects of the manufacturing process. He practically built his first cars himself with a small support team, so he really knows his product.
I guessed so. Because he really talks about it like a proud father haha.
Amazing on every level. Brilliant.
But 1420 kg is over 3100 lbs, rather than "about 2800 lbs."
That is because that is the same man who gets his hands dirty actually working in the labs. A lot of CEOs of car companies are like 3rd and 4th generation and have never actually worked on the cars themselves. He personally oversees so much that goes into his automobiles.
It's worse than that. CEOs of car companies are just MBAs who where CEOs of airlines or tech companies before being hired. They don't have to have a passion for cars, just the skills to keep the shareholders happy.
An inspiration to hear him. Super knowledgable, intelligent, a creative visionary artist, devoted, no arrogance yet no false modesty.
Christian Von Koenigsegg is so calm, and I love how he says “Yeah exactly” like his tone is so calm. You can tell he is definitely dedicated to his company
A "home-grown" V8 faster than a W16 by one of the biggest automakers in the world. What an achievement.
Yeah, there are a lot of benefits to basing the engine parts on a Ford V8. Parts availability for the customer being number one. Kind of like Lotus using Toyota engines. I would think it would put potential customers at ease.
@@jeffk464 Not the same for this car. I don't think anything from ford fits in this car, The bore and stroke might be different. It's like saying AK parts fits in a Galil.
It’s not. It uses over 600hp of electric power. Plus all those peak numbers are basically achieved by cheating with ethanol fuel. Reason why his records aren’t officially recognised by Guiness for example.
Egg just said in the video that they used normal pump gas, dummy
Yeah, i mean the bugatti is alot heavier even excluding the engine due to the luxuries added, but that doesnt make beating it a small task and its really amazing for a company like theres
this is confirmation that Jay is keeping the really awesome nerdy detailed stuff for the true gearheads on youtube. much appreciated guys.
Alan Franklin Ironic you say that on a video about a car with no gears 😂
Matthew I’ve never heard of anyone hating a Regera? And they were $2.2m and this is nothing like a go-kart, if anything is, it’s the Agera due to the solid engine mounts...
Mr Koenigsegg, thank you for taking us back to the future ! You are such an inspiration, the finest example of how all people should conduct themselves . Humble,modest ,and brilliant. A fine gentlemen n villain all rapped in one ! 0 - 250 mph in under 20 seconds ! Puts a permanent smile on any man's face ! WELL DONE SIR !

But despite these qualities, never sitting still, constantly reinventing himself everyday without forgetting his roots. Real class act this guy!

Christian Von Koenigsegg is literally the mad scientist of the car world. Truly a man to be admired.

🤨quick perspective; Sometimes I see people say that the rich waste money because they buy expensive and flashy things, but that's a lie, it's just a poverty mentality that lives in your mindset.
Of course, this is a bad way of thinking and they deeply regret it today. When they were working on all this, you were either asleep or doubting it. Call them the same jacks of all trades but today they are live pros
Very real doubts have left many people financially stranded today, just like when Bitcoin started, no one believed it.

Koenigsegg has a great combination of intelligence and creativity.

You know, I used to think of Koenigsegg as just another supercar, but after wathcing this i realized how wrong I was. The attention to detail, and how its form follows the function, nothing superfluous , everything has been thought out and has a reason of being. This is the kind of car company you want to give your money to. What you are buying is not just a show piece, something to show off to other people, its a piece of art born from the dedication of the craftsmen. I am humbled just by watching this video.
Check out the DRIVE series on Koenisegg. This video just scatches the surface. He's an absolute perfectionist, involved at every level, but with the pragmatic focus of an engineer.
Koenigsegg seems like such a knowledgeable and humble guy. Love his personality.
Speaking of love, I’d love to see what his trick torque converter can do in F1 given their near seamless shifts.
Puking.
Well said
Just how they make all their own carbon parts and then have the weaves line up between body parts, if you start thinking about it your head explodes.. Being so small, doing so much themselves ánd delivering world class products is really a special thing. They have kept improving and getting more refined since the dawn of the company. He's only 46 now and Koenigsegg is 24 years old already, so crazy..
When he started pulling out of the garage, the car looks ethereal ✨🤤
This was awesome on so many fronts. I love to see Jay genuinely impressed by the original tech. Two very cool guys.
just two gearheads talking about automotive engineering. This is heaven.
Agree! I love Jay's show!
They really had a solid chemistry and mutual respect for each other.
Whatever
This is my favourite car manufacturer from this point on.

Use to be mine too. But not anymore. Tesla is now. Elon Musk is so badass. And I own a Tesla. In many ways my Model 3 is much better than the Regera. And I can't afford a Koenigsegg right now. Little stretch lol
Finest I mean they are 2 very different cars
@Finest How are you gonna compare a hyper luxury car to a Tesla model 3? Arguably the most boring and ugly Tesla ever.

Christian - We hope to beat the record of 0-250mph in 20 seconds.
Leno - Who has the current record?
Christian - We do.
You know he was flexing a bit there xD Still, he's awesome.
@@Shorty15c4007 they don't have it anymore
Jay is soooo content and happy like he has never been before. It's part because Koenigsegg is such a humble guy. Every time he comes to the show, it's like a Special Jay Leno's Garage episode. Love it!
You are right. Jay often talks about engineer car company owners who do things right at any cost. Von Koenigsegg deserves to be counted among the legendary (men) in the auto industry ever. He’s also a superb interview.
I have never seen a person like Christian Koenigsegg ever before . He is a great soul with awesome vision for the technology and his brand . I love his simplicity. Great man down to earth . I really like this guy . He explains so easily everything which is hard to understand LOL 😂 . But he is really a great inventor. I love this brand and this guy . Love from Himalayas 🇮🇳🫡
Koenigsegg will always be Koenigsegg❤❤
What a beautiful car Christian is the Einstein of car builders
Tesla was smarter .
Elon Musk comes first
Well said
Not really. Koenigsegg makes a profit and has an absolutely staggering amount of patents. Not to mention that Christian is an engineer and has a very active role in developing their cars. Musk is more of an idealistic business man (a role which he of course excells in).
And Horacio Pagani is the DaVinci.
Regular people: "so much torque, just like EV..."
Jay Leno: "so much torque, just like steam car..."
That's why I love him.
Gen z↑ EV....But Leno can appreciate 19th century technology so he mentions steam power...😅lol the beautiful thing is YOU STILL GOT HIS POINT.
Leno is right. Just imagine there are some 95 years and some never expected engineering in between those two cars.
And train guys “So much torque” like a locomotive!
And Jay Leno should know. He has plenty of steam cars.
The Titanium Exhaust V8 sounds INCREDIBLE. As good as or better than 427 Cobra w/side pipes .
Total Goosebumps hearing this thing !
I could listen to Christian von Koenigsegg talk about his cars all day
I couldn't. He's immeasurably arrogant
Owning a Koenigsegg is not just like owning a car it is owning a piece of history
+LaVa No, it's not, and even it was, how trivial.
Just like owning stuffed lion´s head on the wall, unnecessary.
I agree
A piece of marvelous engineering.
if this is the 1st of these cars sold, yes, it is a part of history
Does every Koenigsegg come with a Christian von Koenigsegg?
Braeden Hamson lol yeah it does😋
I come back and watch this every now and again. Truly the smartest engineer and owner alive.
Something to aspire to.
Love the sound of this car like a fire breathing dragon.
