IN DEPTH: Koenigsegg Factory Tour with Christian von Koenigsegg
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 01. 2016
- We take a look around the ever-growing Koenigsegg factory in Ängelholm, Sweden, now building the Agera RS, a limited run of 25 cars and gearing up to commence production of the hybrid megacar, the Regera.
I'm joined by the company founder, Christian von Koenigsegg, who still to this day has a vast knowledge and understanding of his cars and the engineering processes that go into creating them, for a look around the facility. From the production line with Agera RS models moving through, to the development of Regera, and how the cars start out initially with carbon fibre processes.
This is a particularly special and rare opportunity to look behind the doors in this much detail, so a huge thanks must go to the Koenigsegg team for making it possible. I'll also be getting fully under the skin of the Regera, so stay tuned!
Thanks for watching, Tim

Man, Mr Koenigsegg is the most likeable character of the automotive industry i could listen to him talking about his cars all day.
+TheStigKrisz Tell me about it, that's why I made this video so long because the man is a genius!!
+Shmee150 i think all of your videos should be this long😉
hahaha totally agree!!
My dad did go in the same class with mr Koenigsegg at middle school!!!!
+TheStigKrisz Couldn't agree more!
Even Mr. Koenigsegg is aerodynamic...
LOOOL. Best comment !!! xxoxoox
Lol XD lmao, why is that so hilarious
No disrespect to Mr.Koenigsegg as my dream is to own a koenigsegg, can we delete every other comment and keep this one?
his head you mean ?
He shaved his hair for better air flow
ferrari: No, you guys cant film in our factory
Koenigsegg: So this is the engine room...
all you see is basically assembly.. assembly hardly equals "factory" where parts are made from scratch
shashank raghumudri ferrari is amazing tho. Best history along with porsche.
I remember I saw a documentary of a ferrari factory on nat geo where they were building F12 engines
heeheheh, no reason to be insecure.
The thing is. As big as Ferrari has become worldwide and besides the racing history it just seems to me whoever runs the company now is just arrogant and from my pov they're absolute garbage products. The new 812 superfast which I recently saw in person looks absolutely horrible it's like a corvette had sex with a viper. Compared to the F12 Berlinetta which has much more aggressive and better lines minus the taillights even tho everything has a purpose? The average owner doesn't give a shit about performance and top speed it's more of just for looks and status. I could go on and on not to mention that I do work on alot of these cars too in my shop. When Enzo himself was in charge it just seemed to me like his designs were much better and really tailored to everyone for example you look at the iconic F40 or 512 Testarossa and you know right away what it is and it's a car that not many ppl dislike. Anyways to me this is what Christian Von Koegnisseg is like he literally cares about ppl and clients, the way he mentions and build things is for ppl who understand plus his awesome personality he is definitely not a selfish arrogant person in this industry
Mr. Koenigsegg is a real down to earth guy..he doesn't sound like many other chairmen from million dollar companies..he's very simple and likes to share his vision with people...and of course, he's a freaking genius!
So True,he's admirable.
Isnt most Sweden-Related things similar? I mean IKEA literally allows you to refill drinks XD Minecraft is a open source Game that can be easily modified
*-also the king of youtube is also from Sweden-*
it is cause he is Swedish. Most Swedes are like that.
true Words!!!
Christian von Koenigsegg is a Genius.
+Hok You smart
You loyal. I appreciate that.
and he says 'right' all the time
Another one
+Spencer Bartlett Imma buy your mama a house
Listen to Mr Koegnisegg is almost hypnotic. You can hear the passion that he have for the cars. One for the best guys in the business right now.
Cristian von koenigsegg and horacio pagani are the most genius guys in the car world in my opinion
+Thijs Messemaeckers I consider Horacio Pagani the Da Vinci of the car world.
+Thijs Messemaeckers I also think he is more of an artist where mister Koenigsegg is an true Engineer!
+Skytoucher And Christian von Koenigsegg, the Einstein of the car world.
Edvard Gezin He has to compete with some more people to get that title I think. But he is one of them without doubt.
I love how Christian sound more like a car guy when he talks than a CEO of a multi million dollar car company.
Bongwater Bojack yes, agree
For a dude worth 100 million he seems pretty down to earth!
He is one of the key engineer of his company... he's not just eny other ceo...
This is literally his company
yes it's because he is an car guy, an engineer, way more than a ceo, he loves what he do, he has passion !
Well Mr Koenigsegg kinda have both knowledges
A CEO management thing and also a Knowledge literally everything about Cars
What Mr Koegnisegg has achieved in the past 21 years should make Ferrari and Lamborghini embarrassed what they've done in the past 60.
+sam9m Different times, different possibilityes, different tehnologyes.
yet even within the same amount of time since Koeniggsegg has been around....Lamborghini and Ferrari also still aren't as close to perfection
+umar luxat but still, 3 times more experience.
Kutay Arıcan ...i gues you are capitalist . I feel sory for your educational status .
In deed
Absolutely love this. I could listen to Christian talk all day.
Woah
Is that really you
Me too. He seems to really want to offer his customers his best
hey mumbo you are a mc player Lol
hey mumbo you are a mc player Lol
He showed whole the factory so generously, definitely it's not common everywhere. This person is so gentleman and really a good representer of Sweden's affable people.
Hanif Bahari Sweden's awesome
I am from Sweden and i love Sweden all the people are so kind and will always help you.
He knows very well people would have a hard time copying his stuff and even if they did he couldve invented a way better version within years
Christian von Koenigsegg is a true LEGEND
In late 19th century and early 20th century
Karl Benz and Henry Ford
in the 20th century
Enzo Ferrari and Ferruccio Lamborghini
in the 21st century
Horacio Pagani and Christian von Koenigsegg
MrSpyder97 Add ferdinand porsche and ettore buggati to that.
Random Guy Elon musk
Ferdinand porsche for porsche and VW
Fun fact: horacio pagani worked for lamborghini before he made his own cars
Fun Fact: all those famous car manufacturers name are taken directly from the founder's name XD
Christian might just be the single most intelligent man in the car industry.
Hey, what about me
I like him too but you cannot forget about Elon Musk the CEO of Tesla
+lambo5604sv great point there!
+Wpythons and Hennessy of course
+Art Vandelay John Hennessy doesn't know his dick from his balls when it comes to cars, or i shall say internal combustion engines. There is a man named Ed Curtis, owner of Flowtech Induction, whom has probably forgotten more than most people in the industry will ever even learn. He flies wayyy under the radar to most consumers, but people 'in' the industry know all about him as he is a go-to-guy for most manufactures when it comes to the engines and more specifically heads and cams i.e. moving air. Be it street cars or race cars EdC has done the so-called impossible and then some. Dare i say that performance and how cars make power wouldn't be where it is today had it not been for him.
" A Dirty car is actually a faster car than a one that is cleaned and polished because air actually sticks to the polished car" - I'll remember this one when people ask me why my car is dirty :D
lol
But in F1 they polish the cars because it reduces drag by 0.03%
+ThatGuyNamedScott. C The biggest reason to polish a F1-car is to make the air flow cleaner -> more effective aerodynamics.
+Niklas Maybe more effective ground effect aka negative wing effect is what you meant. There is reason why golf ball has those dimples, it has better aerodynamics. Actually mythbusters tested that on a car, they made huge dimples from heavy clay, and even while the car was lot heavier, it did save fuel with them on.
+Erik Eriksson Just no. Trust me I know what I'm talking about (mech. engineer). Cleaner aerodynamic surfaces produce more downforce (F1-car) or lift (planes etc.) than dirty surfaces. Please read about differences between drag and downforce (or lift). You were also talking about the ground effect. F1-cars don't really employ 'ground effect' anymore. However IndyCars do employ 'ground effect'.
"which is quite unique" - Mr Koenigsegg
+Stijn Offerman lol
+Stijn Offerman This quote is one of the most used words of Mr. Koenigsegg :D
+Stijn Offerman I like that he uses it do, its like he doesn't want to brag about it.
+Stormagaming I totally agree with you! He's a very charismatic man, it suits him.
I am truly amazed at how professional and high quality these cars are. The amount of carbon in it amazes me. Koenisegg in my opinion is the most professional company i have ever seen.
It's unbelievable how a 100 people (just a hundred!!!) create cars which the whole automotive world uses as benchmarks and which can easily compete with the best hypercars in the world.... These guys are amazing
Compete with? Koenigsegg sets the benchmarks lol. Everybody else is competing for second place.
@@spdcrzy Lol The Egg is the one and true lord
This is just awesome. Tim congrats--this is EPIC. There is no doubt that the Koenigsegg (you know how much I love the Regera) will define the "megacar" segment. Christian is truly a automotive visionary! See you soon!
agree 110%
+DoctaM3 Hope you will visit him in future as well!
Allexander DM I don't understand, what is your problem man?
+J0lker You're better off ignoring him. This is what his does. Others are dealing with the "situation."
DoctaM3 Ok, just blocked him. Thank you for your work, can't wait for more motivational/business stuff!
We are lucky that we are within the same generation of Koenigsegg! We are witnessing history in its making!
Koenigsegg, thank you!
This man is without a doubt the most brilliant guy in the automotive industry. A complete legend. Building a car brand this good from scratch, god i just can't imagine how smart, hard work and passion you have to have to do something like this!
Such an intelligent and extremely humble man. A true genius.
kmcca08 it's simple ideas basically, carbonfibre
He started very far from selling used moped to chicken
Shmee should get a Koenigsegg! A blue Koenigsegg would look beautiful, well, every colour looks cool in a Koenigsegg.
Very expensive, but if there's a will there's always a way.
He does NOT have enough money to buy a Koenigsegg... His current garage is worth maybe a million... The Regera is probably going to cost 3 million.
(All units are USD by the way)
+Mason Forrest Christian said that the car was going to start around 1.8 million
+Felix Renvall u get a base car without any carbon fibre and stock everything
a lot for chances that he will
"If you'll put your finger in here, and feel how smooth that is."
-wow
"yeah".
while I dont know Christian Koenigsegg he comes across as a really friendly guy who is proud of his car and loves to talk about them with everyone who also loves them, regardless if you can afford one or not. while his cars speak for themselves, I think Christian is also the best salesman for his cars. On top of that his story is remarkable and his sucess is a motivation for everyone who has a dream.
Don't forget that Mr. Koenigsegg was a salesman in a motoped/scooter company during his fifteen. That's why he talented with that.
harddobe I met him and he is a very friendly guy. He is someone you could talk to all day and share knowledge.
I could listen to Mr koeinigsegg talk about a box of corn flakes. He is honestly one of the most intelligent, interesting, passionate, and genuine people in the industry.
His accent is half of it :)
If I was an Eskimo I would gladly buy ice from him.
Not surprised if he just ordered one haha
In Shmee Blue of course
+Patrick Dow in cerulean blue
Ceruleansegggggeggggg blue.
This car costs way over a million pounds... Do be serious!
+boy638 well that's very possible because I don't think it's so easy to be able to film so much with Koenigsegg just because he has a yt channel ;p he would collect it in about two years so it's plenty of time to get the money and other cars
You, mr. Von Koenigsegg, are absolutely revolutionary.
This is literally just 15-20 minutes away from my house.😁
lucky
Same here!... I live in the UK 🇬🇧 and own a concord ✈️
I got so much respect for Pagani. But this guy makes his own engine and its perfection. Another level.
This is on my bucket list! If I ever come across enough free cash I would travel from Canada to Sweden for a look at the Koenigsegg factory. I wouldn't even need a tour just to see the factory in person and the few cars in the showroom would be more then enough.
You cant enter the koenigsegg grounds (factory) unless your Invited or on a guided tour.
It's a bucket list, you can do whatever you want.
This guy is absolutely amazing. He has such a gift that you can see the moments that he's thinking, "duh, peasant, we make the brakes asymmetrical for unsprung weight savings." These types of genius minds are usually skeptical of praise because their craft comes so naturally to them, they wonder why others are impressed by these "obvious" ideas.
The fact is that the boss know Everything ! Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti... They all have a master team behind. Here we have one man.
Respect for Koenigsegg. The amount of time and effort that has gone into his cars is phenomenal. Pagani don't even build their own engine!
Koenigsegg's engines aren't from them either lol dumbass fanboy
+Hariz Hafi As far as I know Koenigsegg use their own engines, built in-house.
Enlighten me, who makes them ??
+kingelvis I believe the first cars way back had engines sourced from Ford. As of now, I don't know.
+Hariz Hafi Yes they are dipshit, the earlier cars used Ford Modular blocks
+Matt Flinn That was years ago. Now they build their own engines. No Ford parts at all. As far as I know
Shmee is going places, I love this channel!
+Jason Shmee is love, Shmee is life
+Michelangelo Hamato SHREK*
Mr Koenigsegg has to be the most passionate CEO in the industry. No CEO has a grasp of the engineering like he does.
Elon Musk
Tobias Moers!
@@kan7i15a23 Elon Musk isn't begin the cars he is a CEO with a vision but he's not a car engineer
Christian builds cars that he would want to have himself that’s why.
Very interesting behind the scenes look. Christian von Koenigsegg is such a nice down to earth guy.
"the engine and the gearb err er theres no gearbox" hahaha
lol
Lol he's still getting used to it
Which minute?
+Yar Nuri 16:45 that's awesome!
Matt Photos tesla looooool
Christian is an automotive genius! mind blowing
genius but not act like he is
I say this every time I've ever watched anything to do with Christian von Koenigsegg and/or Koenigsegg, the man is an absolute genius and innovator of the motor car industry, he keeps setting standards that most other prestige car company's could only dream of coming close to pulling off. He just comes across as someone so genuine and extremely passionate about his work but somehow stay level headed about it all. There's a good reason why Koenigsegg is my all time favorite car manufacturer and I know they've only been around for a lil while but they are a work of art, from the smallest detail to the orgasmic sound of that 5lt twin turbo V8. Thank you very much Tim for bringing us all an excellent video, then again anything with Mr Koenigsegg is excellent in my mind lol.
I love how he knows everything about how every part is made and is incredibly bilingual to explain it all at the same time...truly the most amazing car designer alive imho
The dream place to work! Next year I hope i study to mechanical engineer and can search for a work there in the future!! (Dream big)
Good dream bro!
Wishing you good luck with that :)!!!
+Björn Sjöö (mrsjoo) I´m already quite a bit into my studies and I was fucking impressed by this guy and his visions. You start feeling small when watching what he has build up...
+iCu True! But I'm trying to think "if he can I can"! Maybe I will not start a company like him, I have to find my own way!
I´m sure you can make it when having that much motivation ;)
When I saw the title I immediately clicked on it😀😀😀
Same 😂😂
+WhosNastyFox Haha same
+WhosNastyFox wow thats crazy! XD L0Lxx69 like and subscribe LOL 42069
look who I found in the comments :P. But yeah I did the same Nasty, like wow Koenigsegg is famous for knowing what the hell is in his cars, and for taking risks unlike different manufacturers
Koenigsegg!!!!!! The Best car maker ever? Some say.....
Koenigsegg with his egg-like head is the coolest guy in the car business!
True but I think you forgot Elon musk, say what you want but he literally gave away his patent for free
05:05 the only reason the conversation can be interupted by and im totally fine with it!
The level of craftsmanship and engineering at Koeningsegg is nothing short of spectacular.
This company is amazing, thank you so much for the tour Christian and Shmee.
The engineering that has gone into all of these cars is mind blowing. Christian, I love you man!
I'm a bit jealous
A bit?!?!
+TheCarFanForever okay more than just a bit 😅
MrFloriiiii That's more like it 😄
+MrFloriiiii jealousy will burn your good deeds like fire burns wood. Remember that buddy.
As an engineer and designer that is now retired I am so impressed with what this fellow has done. Just 💗 it.
this guy must have other car companies seriously
worried lol. never seen so much attention to
detail, love it.
Just a casual, recorded video conversation with a CZcamsr & a CEO of one of the most badass hypercar makers in the world.
You can't feel that "hands-off please will you" attitude with this CEO.
Amazing 😍😍😍
This video is SO fricking cool!!! I mean I was there to hear this mans passion, but there's so much to take in at the time, that watching this you remember parts and pick up on new stuff.
CvK is THE man, his involvement and knowledge is beyond incredible.
Thanks so much for allowing me to come along. Can't wait for the follow up video too! ;)
Impossible to start off my birthday any better than listen to Christian talking about an active flap that weighs less than nothing. Its truly incredible to see the insane work they put into building everything and im so proud to be living in the south of Sweden just where the Factory is located! :D
Coolest factory I have ever seen. Where are the T-1000's? He must manufacture Terminators in the basement.
No...anti-gravitic space ships. But not sold on planet earth. We don't know how to drive them.
@@claudreindl7275 You don't drive them it drives you
I just love how he knows the engineering aspect of the whole car and explains every part thoroughly. A true passionate
I didn't think I would watch it whole 37min but it was worth it. Huge respect to Mr. Koenigsegg for all these clever ideas and if I ever win a lottery I will buy one :D
With his mastery, precision and dedicated work that is characteristic of all, this Swede has surpassed all other sports car manufacturers in the world in terms of design, quality and performance. greetings from Bosnia
THANK YOU! Someone that realizes the small details add up. Love seeing every single inch of the car thought out and produced to the highest quality.

9:36 Koenigsegg Agera RSR No.124
10:43 Koenigsegg Agera RSR No.123
12:12 Koenigsegg Agera RSR No.122

Koenigsegg is on another level. These cars are amazing. They're way ahead of there time. Nothing comes close.
Great vid, I love the attention to detail on these cars, and I am glad the company is doing so well it really deserves to!
The quality of your vids, the organisation, the scripts, its top shelf. You are on your own level man keep it up!
I just really love how other manufacturers are so secret about their car making process whereas Koenigsegg is open world :D
God this man is a genius. His cars are in my opinion some of the best in the world. The attention to detail!
"If you put your finger in here, you can feel how smooth it is..." Hopefully there is a video context AHAH
Even with context it doesn't make sense whatsoever
That's what she said
@@jgedutis he not she
This man is AMAZING, built car company very early age and produces his own machines for the cars.
Great video Shmee ! Thank you for your wonderful work !
As a swede I'm really proud with the good mark Koenigsegg is making on the international level. Christian is so nice, kind, down-to-earth and well-spoken. I think he is on a level on his own with the cars he's building in the supercar territory, not only with the technique he is creating but also that he came from nothing comparing to Bugatti who have the whole big VW-group behind. But is there any car that is more well built in every smallest detail than Christian's Koenigseggs?
Brilliant! So much attention to detail in his work!
Amazing video Shmee!!! Thank you very much for such a great car factory. One of the most beautiful and powerful car ever!!! I am in love with Koenigsegg!
It’s so amazing to see this company grow. He seems like a really nice person with so much passion.
Cristian Von Koenigsegg is the Steve Jobs of super cars!!!
uhh plz christian is a genius .. steve jobs not so much
@@visibleconfusion9513 Exactly. Steve Jobs is incredibly over rated.
@@crzzymnn911 Jobs was more visionary than genius. He imagined the concepts, found the people to execute on the ideas, and then went out front and sold them to the world. There is no denying his profound influence on our lives. He was not the engineering wizard Koenigsegg is, but he is not overrated.
It's always a pleasure watching Christian talk about his cars. He's so knowledgeable about every tiny detail, you can tell he's intimately involved with every aspect of the design. And he's always so enthusiastic. He could probably hire someone to do these tours, but he seems to want to do it himself. I think there's not much he enjoys more than showing off what they've accomplished.
Great video Tim! Also love to see a company like this succeed so all respect to Christian for running such an amazing company! Definitely my favorite automaker along with Pagani
Great vid Shmee and also really appreciative of Mr Koenigsegg to give his time for this. Comes across very humble and yet very passionate. Definitely not a "bottom dollar" type car CEO, he is just so involved in every aspect. Thank you!
That was you’re best blog. I really enjoyed it. I LOVE KOENISEGG. And Pagani 👍🙏✌️😎❤️
Awesome video, Tim! I can't wait for your video in the Regera!
Such a humble man of greatness, I totally enjoy his interviews and how he speaks about his work of art. Awesome video!!
In this day and age, it's amazing to see CVK walk around with people and show them everything AT LENGTH like he does. So respectable.
Jon. He is just selling his product to those interested in. Good salesman .
Shmee school girl giggle 13:30, I can't blame him. What a cool place to visit
Mr. Koenigsegg and Horacio Pagani, are amazing! They stand out for this type of engineering art. They inspire me.
Even Pagani didn't make their own engine.
I love the history of Koenigsegg, and knowing how everything works in the warehouse makes it even more refreshing
awesome tour very engaging stuff ! love it shmee, excellent video.. and massive respect for Mr Koenigsegg !
supercar to a new level ,never seen before...
Did anyone else notice the car after the green Agera RS? Shmee was avoiding filming it. It looked like the original One:1 colours. There is also a part at exactly 21:07 in the clip that shows a body panel with One:1 stamped on it. Are they making another One:1 or are they just rebuilding the panels on the original one that is for sale?
That green Agera RS was so beautifull holy mother of god.
+Tupi I thought all the One:1's have been delivered already?
+Goldiielicous It's probably the original test car which is now for sale for 6 600 000 € :D
"The car will be delivered with a extensive factory refresh and will be ready for delivery in January 2016."
They need to have make spare parts if someone who owns a gets a femder buckled or whatever
Goldiielico
Goldiielicous proverb,y the car that they crash in the Nurburgring that they announced they’ll rebuild
Great video Tim, and Many thanks to Mr Koenigsegg for his thorough tour, lecturing and transparency.
Nearly 4500 likes already. I just cannot believe 30 odd fools would dislike this content... what more did they expect?
Great work Shmee, really appreciate your efforts in interviewing this living legend and showing us his factory
27:32 close your eyes
Kaisuke971 lol😂😂😂😂
Kaisuke971 😑
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA
What a laugh hahaha
Oooohhhhh
Christian from Koenigsegg is a Genius! And Koenigsegg Automotive AB is a Masterpiece!

+Redstoneprime316 I know it. Im german.
Hey Tim , have been watching for a long time now , following all the trips and acquisitions , but only this is my first time commenting... Just wanted to say thanks for all the work and time you take to do all these videos , i have to admit this is one of my favorite ones... actually i enjoyed it more than the Discovery Channel , jeje , keep up the great work ! God bless....
awesome vid Shmee !! I Enjoyed every second of it !!
I bet there are more than 100 Koenigsegg logos within the whole car, in case you don't know who build it...
lol
+Yago86, I think Pagani is the same way.
Mr Koenigsegg always looks for the eficiency and cleverness of the parts, which is good, but what's the point to put a logo in every piston head?
It's his passion and he can do whatever he wants but lol even +Shmee150 was surprised, it shows how much effort and care they put to make his cars
+jeebus2121 Pagani is worse, they put their logo on EVERY SINGLE BOLT.
+Anankin12 yeah. koenigsegg is soft porn, but pagani is hardcore girl on girl
Dont know what is more impressive.......the cars or the man. It has been said before by someone, but CvK is the Thomas Edison of our timeAs ever, big respect to Tim for making this happen. He can simply get access cars/people that others can only dream about...
What a humble man that knows his stuff and sets the trend and not just follow.
what a way to start the year shmee!. thank you for this video keep up the good work!
Christian, I am your long lost son, please lend me a Koeniggsegg as child support payment. Thanks in advance.
- Matti
Asiamies *send You're his son afterall, don't be so modest
Payment hell for me .1 will be payed in full for life .lol .we settle out of court now for even a pre owned one if they exist .if not new one will do.😂🤣
Only problem is you'd have to sell the car to pay the insurance and property tax bills!
the greatest car mastermind today.
Thank you Koneigsegg for allowing Tim to make this video and being so transparent, rare in anything today, was a fan before but now truly a fan, it’s awesome.
Some say! (Clarkson voice) to own a Koneigsegg is the dream! I’d say working at the Koneigsegg factory would be the dream job. 🤙
This is a fantastic video Shmee. U put the Discovery Chanel to shame with this behind the scene style vid. Thanx to Mr K for the personal tour. I didn’t know HOW awesome these were.
