They’re fast that’s for sure
How it came from nothing just because he didn’t give up
Hi Nico!
I honestly didn't know much about the background of the Koenigsegg... Really amazing and inspirational story for sure
Can't wait Nico
christian isnt bald.
hes aerodynamic.
love the man and the passion. thanks for the video with him nico
And it also for weight reduction
Baseball hat option: $50,000.00. Pre-tax, of course.
And it saves weight. 😂
christian isnt an egg.
hes a koenigs edition egg,
Recycled comments are so *cringe*
Can we appreciate how Nico let him talk without interruption?
Nico is a well mannered man. His parents educated him well.
Yes! My favorite interviewer because of that!
he didn't have much choice :D
You simply don't interupt Christian. He's way to fascinating to listen to!
@@JimmyOlsson this is true. When CVK speaks you listen. All there is too it.
2 people I admire the most, Christian von Koenigsegg and Mate Rimac
Fully agreed. Christian and Mate, heroes of today for me! What they managed to accomplish on a quite small scale, living their boys dream. They're great blokes, friendly, open, downtoearth. Passion for the product!
Elon musk? You india you lose
@@godzillanismo4892 English? Grammar? Hello?
@@No-le9qf you 14 year old you lose
@@No-le9qf You don't know what his finnish nick means ?
I could listen Christian for hours and hours and hours non stop. The passion ,vision and determination he has for everything he does is mega. Such an inspiration.
Absolutely Swapnil. He’s a fascinating person and I am so interested to see what he does next.
Not the collaberation we asked for, but the collaboration we needed. Nico X koenigsegg.
This man is the Enzo Ferrari of our time.
imagine a mercedes f1 car with a free valve engine and an lst transmission. Dominance further expanded.
@@kaustavkapur5532 lst trans have some losses with those 7 clutches and sequential dogbox is light and shift even bit faster,
but freevalve engine would be great - bit more efficient (at least low-mid thorttle) and mainly lighter and smaller
@ koenigsegg said the opposite. He said that this transmission is lighter and it can shift within 1ms.
@@kaustavkapur5532 commenter was talking about sequential manual dogbox: has minimal hydraulics and only has 1 clutch pack so only one source of clutch losses, no synchros, only dog-engagement. Tried and true for almost all kinds of motor racing.
Clutches are not as efficient in transmitting power compared to gears.
No. Nobody has the desire to win like Enzo Ferrari. Koenigsegg have no appearance in racing, while Ferrari have been building racing car, racing and winning for over 90 years. You don't have to compare Koenigsegg to any person in history to make him great.
Why the need for car journalists? The best 1h interview I've heard. Two people who are interested in cars sit down and talk. Thank you very much Nico and Christian.
Chiristian V. Koeningsegg... The most influential man for me. Legend.
Shoutout to the old lady at the Swedish technical board!
Nico - you've developed as a great listener! Keep it up champ!
Yeah, he's a bit less aloof than previously. Good direction.
Looking at the title I know this is going to be epic
it is!! ;-)
a formula 1 champion just responded your comment :O
@@boratulYT also one of the most underrated F1 champions ever.
@@Rainman... absolutely
@@NicoRosberg It is epic! You made it epic, because you are such a great listener and interviewer with intelligent questions.
Proud to be Swedish. 🇸🇪
Damn I'll be proud also if IKEA founded in my country
Christian von Koenigsegg is one of the greatest human beings ever born. My respect for him has no bounds.
Yesss!!
agreed, i feel the same way
An amazing Interview with amazing questions! I have seen a lot of content with Christian but this was something completely new. Thank you Nico for this super interesting video. Vielen Dank!
Glad to read this, thanks!
What impresses me the most, having worked and planned things a couple of times with their staff and met Christian and his wife a couple of times, is how sane they are after having endured such a crazy history building up a company and brand to this level in a business so competitive - and a family. They are I think, very Scandinavian.
We in Sweden are so proud to have Christian as a countryman 👍🏻
I remember when Christian said something like "Our backside is many other manufactures front side".....that's when I understood that this is something different. Unbelievable impressive guy, cars, company and people around him and in the company. This guy never give up on his dream.....and how that brain is working should be bottled and sold on the open market :) Our times Leonardo Da Vinci and Enzo Ferrari in the same person.....and on top of that, a very nice guy.
His video with the founders of Polestar where they just sit down and talk about cars is amazing. It shows how passionate he is about cars.
It was not the founders tho
@@gbbot6895 yes it was.well, not the founders of the company Polestar that was the Volvo race section. But the "founders" of the Polestar the electric car.
@@MrFelixify No, not volvos polestar! Geelys polestar. Man I hate the new polestar, just because 110% Chinese!
His passion, his mindset...his thinking about the future for combined engines and the benefits for sustainability out of this combinations are incredible.
Nico Rosberg and Christian Von Koenigsegg is the best collab.
My idol. Christian is the absolute legend❤
What impresses me the most is Christian’s resilience. “I have nothing to lose if I work my ass off”. He engages in Fear Setting, looking at the worst case scenario and realizing that failure is never as bad as we may think, that the upside is much greater than any negative consequences. What’s the worst that can happen? I love this interview.
Amazing content. two outliers, each in their own way, having a deep conversation about life, businesses, dreams & ethics free, well produced, 1hr long on CZcams
Huge thanks Nico!
I see a small replica car from his childhood inspiring movie in the back, over the shelf.
il tempo gigante
Dear Nico, I'm Shreya from India and you are my inspiration... In lockdown i was getting sad and sad, day by day.. the only thing that pulled me out from sadness is Formula 1 and Nico Rosberg ❤️ Thank you very much for your great and beautiful videos, Love you from India Nico 🇮🇳❤️ Stay safe and take care mate!
It's sad that F1 is not popular here
@@susk3326 Yeah, before it used to be popular when, Indian Gp was used to be in F1 schedule.. but, now here F1 sport is becoming rare.. I want the Indian Gp to be back again!
@@shreyapatra1712 I was thinking why there are so many Indian comments in F1 channel(pss: watching F1 from 2015)
Turns out Indians are watching F1 more than I thought
Happy Days :)
@@sriharidesai7606 just to let you know
Another F1 fan here!
@@shreyapatra1712 when buddh international was out of the f1 calender I was so pissed, but chances are high that we might have a comeback in the f1 calender after jehan join f1 in next few year
Fantastic interview! Most shorter interviews never let him go in depth as to his personal motivation that set him on this course. His enthusiasm and intelligence is an inspiration to us all.
37:38 holy smokes! Christian is an early TSLA investor and Hodler wow!
I love that Christian talks about the car - il tempo gigante from Pinchcliffe Grand Prix - that started his passion for building cars, and a miniature model of the very same car sits on the bookshelf behind him. Love that! He´s a awesome guy and i love Nicos interviews, so natural and relaxed.
Noticed that as well, pretty cool! Flåklypa ftw ☺️
Taking on the big boys in the motor development industry and coming up
With all the aces .
He likes to talk. Just ask him a question and he starts reeling off the stories. Great interview!
Please Nico, make it happen! A round table with Elon, Mate and Christian! 💥
33:58 "... Comfort makes you dumb."
Well said.
Legend is talking to a legend.
"comfort kinda makes you dumb".
I don't think he realized how important that is!
So True, a friend of mine that CO- started Spotify always say "Hungry wolfs are better hunters than fat cats" regaring taking in to much risk capital and loose a little drive thanks to the comfort and safety added.
The no.1 aspect that makes Koenigsegg the successful "GOAT" level company... The accessibility to the CEO, the dream, the man, the vision.
Enzo never took the time to connect with the pesents 😆
Thankyou NICO!!! what a privilege this has been to listen to my two favorite "AutoGods" haha. Kind regards, Benjo from NZ
Great interview and presentation, good to see passionate people talk about their love for cars. Greetings from Canada.
Hello to Canada! Hope F1 will be back next year at least :)
@@NicoRosberg Me too!
I can't wait to see the Grand Prix in Montreal again
I could listen to Christian all day long. Fascinating person.
Such a humble man
I think many viewers heard CvK tell his story before, but you asked the right questions so we got more/better answers. Well done Nico.
Very very nice episode!
Koenigsegg is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. And Christian seems to be such a nice and normal guy.
Certainly the Koenigsegg story is amazing but your capacity as an interviewer to help reveal that was wonderful Thank you
Nico, I have been impressed with Mr Koenigsegg’s passion and approachability for years. What impresses me most about this video is your ever increasing ability to do an interview. You are getting very good and, might I say, appear to have natural talent for it. Great work.
The level of this poadcasts are increasing at a F1 level. Amazing insight on Koenigsegg.
nico you're such a good interviewer and mind. asking really interesting questions but especially being able to keep digging to get some really interesting answers. also being good with words and capturing the essence of what is being asked or discussed. really interesting interview as always. being a swede i knew koenigsegg was swedish but had no idea about christian before this. really likable inspirational guy.
That was something! Watched the whole thing. Thank you Nico. Such a great content. We are in a truly innovative era. So many great ideas and projects are ahead of us.
This interview just changed my life!
Just met Nico today in St Tropez. Lucky me. Such a nice guys!!
Woahh, awesome!
This interview just pushed Koenigsegg car value even more,if i had the money i wouldn't think twice to buy one ,you are buying piece of art,passion, dreams all wrapped up in one.what an extraordinary guy and innovator you are Mr. Koenigsegg.
Love you from Italy!🇮🇹❤️
grazie 🇮🇹❤️
This gentleman is a legend!
Both of the best in one video ! Much love from Malaysia Mr.Rosberg ! 😄
Love that Tucker model in the background of Christian !!!
Thanks a ton Nico for giving us such an amazing content
Watching a F1 legend and one of the best hyper car brand CEO and founder talk about cars together is what we want
OMG THIS TRULY WAS THE BEST INTERVIEW I'VE EVER WATCHED !! THANK YOU SO MUCH NICO AND CHRISTIAN THIS WAS AMAZING AND SO INSPIRING !! ❥
Easily one of the best, most inspiring chats on-line at the moment, a must-watch!
When CvK speaks about "we are dead anyway", regarding mindset, it reminded me about Lt Spiers speech in "Band of brothers". "Ronald Spiers: The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.”
CVK is a legend 👌
Great interview! You got him to answer questions and say things we‘ve never heard in any other interview and get an even better glimpse into his mind and how he ticks!
Truly it’s 5% genius and 95% persistence, pain tolerance and dang hard work. Congrats Christian and Nico.
As a former employee at Koenigsegg (2006-2011) I still enjoy Mr. Koenigsegg him self and his spech/es, interviewes and such 😄👍
Can’t even express how valuable it is to have this type of conversations on that high of caliber, can’t wait for more like it!!!
Thanks for watching and comments, We're always available for questions, guidance and support at any time . Just DM
*+1 8 3 2 4 2 0 0 4 8 7* @ W H A T S A Pp,
Great interview!
I have been passionate about Koenigsegg for some years now.
Great to hear about the first years and struggle Cristian and his team has overcome.
Thank you Nico.
We miss you in F1
I am also a fan of Christian von Koenigsegg. It is more than just cars he build, and it goes beyond a passion. The way he think about building the best products, in this case are cars, and to achieve that level of performance and design are mind blowing.
so down to earth, so humble, so smart man, true admirer of him, not only coz of his amazing cars but also personality
Yes perfect podcast to listen to while completing assignments 😅
enjoy! 😃
@@NicoRosberg Hahaha, right! I'm completing my holiday homework, and watching this podcast.. thank you Nico! For this beautiful podcast!!
You pulled out the genius of what is Christian von Koenigsegg in an interview like I've never seen. Excellent interview Nico. Chao
Christian von Koenigsegg is a genius, no doubt about it!
This is inspiring because he is the first CEO I have ever seen express how important it to take care of his employees and admits whole-heartedly that he doesn't have backgrounds in engineering and such and works directly with his team. Its really awesome to see that. He is passionate and humble. I used to love Ferrari, but reading the connotations on them saying ppl are representing their brand incorrectly or just arrogance in general, it kinda turned me away from them. By no means am I in a position to own any of these vehicles, but if I could, my first choice would be Koenigsegg
So enjoyable to watch! Nico, you're sharp, my man. Keep up the great work in the mobility industry. I work here in the US and focus on mobility product strategy within the auto industry. It's exciting times for us all!
One of the best interviews I’ve ever heard , inspiring
So good , i watched it twice !
Amazing video, just finished it and I watched every single second, very informative and inspiring
Elon's saying is "The Best part is no part, the best process is no process." These two are pushing humanity to the next level. Christian inspires me every day to push myself. I don't have all the fancy degrees and things people respect but I have done well so far and will continue to do so because of trail blazers like him. Thanks Nico your interviews are always spot on.
Nowadays you hear just about everywhere, 1000 hp Nissan, or fiat or whatever, it’s like everyone can do it, BUT they all blow up when used on a track, or some never make it to the track and blow up on a dyno, or on the road… what is really impressive is to build a car that has over 1000 hp and offer a warranty for it, break records and then ride in it to your home, this is something that most people overlook. It’s like the dodge demon, you could spend a whole day doing quarters and then ride it home and start over again tomorrow while on your GTR , after 3 runs you will need a new clutch and differential…
Beyond Amazing, thank you Nico. What an an incredible interview with Mr. Christian Von Koenigsegg. Greetings from Portugal. Stay safe take care everyone.
Huge thanks about this, Nico. You are a legend, keep it up!
I normally don’t see a 50+ minute video but this one got me interested I watch it complete 🥚👻
You made and insists in the right question, what a courage. Congratulation and thank you very much! This was a great share! A fan from Portugal!
Que lindos, já estou no canal, gratidão Nico! Sou sua fã e obrigada pelo canal, é uma firma de estar mais perto de quem admiramos!
Amazing interview, very interesting and educational. Thank you so much.
I'm impressed with your presence and interview skills. In the moment thoughtfulness and intelligence, thank you Nico. And of course thank you Christian for the dream.
I could listen to those car geniuses forever...Christian von Koenigsegg and Gordon Murray are a delight to just listen how they explain everythins 👌
Super inspirational! Thanks, Nico, This interview has been the boot in the ass I needed. Samuel Goldwyn, the movie pioneer said something similar to Christian. "The harder I work, the luckier I get" Time to get back to work. Maybe buy a tent.
As always, outstanding content Nico! I find all of your podcasts highly inspirational and very rich in meaningful content.
Another great interview! @ Nico Rosberg : Kudos. Your ability to mix listening skills, relevant questions while somehow finding a way to share your own 'glamorous' experience with humility, without taking the focus away from your invitee, is an exceptional skill that you are getting to master more and more with every video release. Thanks for investing your time into making & sharing those entertaining inspirational moments with us!
The Gemera is one of the most beautiful, technically advanced automobiles ever created. It is a work of art and function, in my humble opinion. Wish I could afford one.
Christian is an amazing and passionate individual, but credit where credit is due, I loved the line of questions from Nico where he pushed Christian a little bit out of his comfort zone. This was a very good interview!!
Christian von Koenigegg - the godfather of Car Engineering and Nico Rosberg -the F1 worldchampion! What a inspired Talk about mobility-great!!
I’ve missed your podcast so much ❤️
Nico, you can do anything. Great interview. Love from Mexico 🇲🇽.
Good interview. I think its always interesting to listen to inventors&CEOs. Thank you both!
Great video to motivate you to never give up, never know what can happen if you don’t try
Nico - great channel. Just subscribed. Loved the interview!
Sending some love from America! Hope you and the family are doing well. Great interview 😁
Great convo nico!! Glad to see the podcast back & I look forward to the next one!
Well spent hour.. continue this series champ..! Quality content..! Absolutely fantastic to watch..! Hats off to Christian's NEVER GIVE UP attitude..!
Inspiring lesson. Thanks both
CvK has an unreal attention to detail. And such a willingness to ask all the questions, and innovate.
