That sponsor transition was 🤌
no
I definitely ordered one man, nice plug 🔌
The Jesko Ultimate should do it and then some but we need a 20 mile straight piece of tarmac in order to do this.
@337speed love your content bro please don't ever stop
It's been said before, the McLaren F1 was the first car to use the whole speedometer.
My 1990 Silverado used the whole speedometer but it only went to 85
Ok?
McLaren still is the fastest naturally aspirated car ever😊
@@chasenewberry6866 only 3 mph more and you could have gone back in time.

otherwise there would be the mercedes w125 rekordwagen and similar stuff
Christian's engineering was so profound. He invented so many things that were ahead of his time. Sold parts to other competitors while he was in production. Thats Amazing
"Was...", "were..." - you talk as if he was dead. I'll bet there's plenty more to come from C.v.K in the years ahead...
Prior to him starting koenigsegg@@EspenStabforsmo
All that technology and Koenigsegg has to challenge Porsche's Nurburging's mindboggling record.
It's not like he did it all by himself and had all of the ideas though. He's a fantastic entrepeneur who was lucky to live in a country with a big car industry, and thus a vast pool of talented engineers.
@@WanderingSword they are banned, one od them were too fast and they don't let them test anymore
Important to note that the chiron ss 300+ doesn't actually hold the production speed record since it only did a one-way run. The record surprisingly still belongs to koenigsegg
Exactly! So many people seem to forget that Bugatti doesn't have an official record...
So what needs to be done in order for Bugatti to reclaim the top speed record?
@@Kingofdestruction2019 they just need to do a top speed run in both directions on their test track to get a two-way average. i have no idea why they haven't done that yet
@@JocheProHD10because on their test loop they only ride one way. If I remember correctly they said that the grain of road surface after years of exploatation only in one way get formed in such a way, which they said made it unsafe to try top speed attempt the other way around this track
Edit: so the main cause of why they never did it in two directions was probably traction issues with road surface of test track ridden one direction only
@@JocheProHD10 Because they can't 😂
In the Bugatti VS Koenigsegg playground debates of the internet, Bugatti is always seen as the "bad guy", because it's a company born from Europe's biggest car manufacturer and its entire existence is seen as a show of pure excess of monetary wealth. But I think from time to time the people who made the Veyron and chiron should be commended for their effort as well, they used an entirely foreign engine design and built a machine so utterly excessively luxurious and powerful in its design and function that it's absurd.
I love both manufacturers you want comfort, power, and speed rolled in to one get the Bugatti. Want some thing that eat you alive for small mistakes get a older Koenigsegg, want something that keep up or out do Bugatti get a Koenigsegg.
I agree. Both are phenomenal machines with insane engineering
@crazeguy26 A koenigsegg doesn't outdo a bugatti in any way, Bugatti is a more luxurious brand that is combined with speed, if anything bugatti has the upper hand on speed and luxury
@@MczRLit's a bentley for the billionaries,impressive?yeah,but no more than that
@@matheussena6296 Your statement does not take away from the fact that the other guys statement was true, your basically showing a middle finger too something you seemingly disagree with.
I remember when the CCX came out and not many people heard of Koenigsegg, nor did they care because Italy was pumping out cool cars also. I'm glad they're where they are at right now and the resilience of creating stuff themselves to reach their goals.
I found out about them Thur a Gran Turismo game I think.. or sum game I played back then
The ccx is my favorite Koenigsegg out of all of them...its to this day imo...the best looking model they ever built...and I too remember when the ccx launched...in fact, the first time I've seen it was in a movie called "Redline"..It was instantly a car I had posters and toy models of in my room. I also remember buying need for speed hot pursuit 2010 specifically because the ccx was in it..along with forza horizon...I was obsessed with that car when I was little
@stancedstyfon1234 I had the same. First time I learnt about Koenigsegg was playing nfs carbon. Been a Koenigsegg fan ever since. And guess what.... I start my first day working at Koenigsegg beginning of Jan 😆
@@stancedstyfon1234 I showed my cousin the movie Redline and he fell in love with Koenigsegg afterwards beautiful cars. The car that always caught my eye was the Agera R. Back in Forza Horizon 2 the Agera was my Goliath race car (I still miss it lol)
@@irazadib337 I never got a chance to drive it when I played Carbon I had a one track mind of copying my brother lol. Also Congratulations to your feast of getting to work there. What will you be doing there and how was the process of getting hired?
Phenomenal video yet again Jay.
I know you get praise left and right on every single video, but it’s well deserved and i feel the need to add to it.
You knock it out of the park every single time, even the ad placement and execution was better than most channels full videos.
The production, the story/script, i could go on.
One of the very few channels that genuinely get me excited and make me set aside time to watch a new video when it gets released.
Man I really appreciate that, I almost gave up on this video because it took 1.5 months to complete but glad I followed through!
@@337speedthis was an amazing video would you consider doing an episode on the Jesko absolut?
Everything he said, I concur! Fantastic job bro 👍
@@337speed while it sadly is in swedish Christian had something we call a "sommarprat" (summer speech/talk) where he went over the history and founding of koenigsegg and it was very interesting. if you can find that transcribed to english i highly recommend it just for how interesting that story is when told by him in a relaxed setting.
@@337speedthanks for finishing the video, even if you think the Scottish are English
8:08 Gordon Murray "don't shut your mouth off before you've built the car". Wow, Koenigsegg truly made Gordon, Mr Gatekeeper, Murray eat his own words.
And people saying that the McLaren F1 is the "fastest N/A car".
Well, here's the thing Koniggseg can build the fastest NA car if they want to! At anytime.
However , they chose not to.
They dont have to build the fastest NA car to prove a point, cause they KNOW they can. I guess they dont want to embarrass McLaren dont ya' think?

@@Neale78 Did you read my whole post dummy ?
@@forlergusther9716 It still is and they haven't. That's common sense and reality.
"The true top speed of the McLaren F1 was reached in April 1998 by the five year old XP5 prototype. Andy Wallace piloted it down the 9 km (5.6 mi) straight at Volkswagen’s test track in Ehra-Lessien, Germany, setting a new world record of 243 mph (391 km/h) at 8300 rpm. Mario Andretti noted in a comparison test, the F1 is fully capable of pulling a seventh gear, thus with a higher gear ratio or a seventh gear the McLaren F1 would probably be able to reach an even greater top speed."
@@Neale78 Again, did you read my whole post?
can we also appreciate that bmw v12 in the Maclaren f1
Oh boy...This style of video coupled with your visuals and your storytelling and a really interesting topic make for a really nice christmas gift.
cant believe the sn95 first gen cobra engine was put into one of my all time favorite supercars...wow!!! im so happy to own a 98 cobra
The Ford 4.6 definitely doesn’t get enough credit for how strong it was built😮💨

@@samsonCobynegative. The teksid 4.6 blocks are highly sought after. I own two Romeo block powered fords; great engines but not even close in comparison.
@@williamcooper2037 Yet there's literally Ford 4.6s running around in miles of over 300000 to 500000 or above
@@samsonCoby lol sir; those are low compression iron blocks barely producing 250hp; most are rated at 230. I see you have missed the point entirely. Merry xmas.
i remember when koenigsegg struggled financially. even showed off their cars to wealthy car collectors on track day, hoping to land some investors and car collectors to buy off their earlier models.
i was on grips with their future then. i was really hoping theyd make it. because as it was then, the table was indeed full and it was the modern supercar era. felt like the company was fighting not only for survival, but also for its belief in their engineering.
i just admire the business and engineering aspect behind their success. indeed, its power and tech that matters
Even if you for some reason dislike Koenigsegg so do their cars push others to improve as well.
I have to say, there aren't many CZcams channels that can keep my attention for a complete video, you seem to do it with EVERY video! always interesting, always informative and always entertaining, love it.
Regarding the Bugatti being build for one thing only on private streets: There was a guy going 400km/h not so long ago on the german Autobahn.
It made qute a few headlines over here, since it was so outrageous doing it on a public road (or to be specific, the culprit was that he filmed it).
😮
Yes, it was a guy from Czech Republic with 417 km/h on the German autobahn.
It’s fake, look it up again it’s a spoofed video.
@@scoutwilliams5875 why do you think it was spoofed ???
@@scoutwilliams5875 making up stories eh?
I've always loved Koenigseggs, their sound, the way they look, just prefection
I personally fell for them back when Collins first plowed one off the TG test track during it's first attempt at a hot lap (pre-wing&pre-lowering).
@@regretabletangibility and now he's banned, he's not allowed within 500ft of a koenigsegg 🤣
@@cameron6249 but they brought it back with the modifications which HE had suggested & it went several seconds faster iirc?
(I want that on a plaque in a Koenigsegg, "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED WITHIN 500FT OF THIS KOENIGSEGG🚫", ahhh 🤩😍.)
18:02 Man’s pushing the Koenigsegg to its limits with no hands on the steering wheel
Really digging your content man. Great production, excellent delivery. Top notch stuff. Keep up the good work!!
Much appreciated!
As a car enthusiast it’s always awesome to learn something new like this. I’ve read up a bit on Koenigsegg but this was an amazing video and I learned a lot. Not much into super and hyper cars but I think the design of these cars are insane. The performance is also mind blowing as well. I’m interested in seeing what Christian Koenigsegg’s visions will create next!
"A company that didnt get a seat at the table amongst the greats. So they just made their own table instead" now thats a quote to remember
The fact they innovate and invent when needing to solve an issue is unrivalled
The CCXR Edition is truly a beautiful monster
It's funny how Bugatti has been here for basically a century, and Koenigsegg absolutely obliterates the speed record with basically half a bugatti engine, literally.
And now the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is expected to go 330+ mph. It sadly hasn't been tested yet.
It's a little bit misleading when you say that Volkswagen owns all those companies you mentioned. Yes, it's actually the Volkswagen GROUP BUT they actually don't have majority control .The majority owner in the Volkswagen group is actually Porsche.
I don't think it's fair to call Pagani amongst the established elites of the time, Pagani was also still in it's infancy stage at the time. Both companies started around the same time in the 90s, and to be fair, Pagani in their own way, have grown almost as much as Koenigsegg. You cannot beat Pagani's craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality.
Pagani has lost its luster. Koenigsegg interiors look more unique and exotic than Pagani's do - mostly because Spyker did it first.
I completely agree that pagani is established, however, in terms of raw performance…
@@spdcrzyno they don’t they are more modern and simplistic what are you on
@@maximagne Modern? LOL. The interiors of Paganis have always looked like a steampunk or a sci-fi artist drew them to me. Way too much reflective shit inside would make for a TERRIBLE driving experience.
@@spdcrzywhat does it matter when you’re never going to own one anyway lol
Great viedo as always, I remember a while ago you only had like 3 viedos all of this quality, glad i found you. moved the benz videos as I started working there not long ago and im just starting to learn the engine, and it was nice to have such a detailed video of the best of the older v8 63 engines. Cant wait to see where this channel ends up in the car youtube space, I reccomend you any chance i get
You're killing it with the new format, and it'd risk good income to do it, but can we get an update on the old project cars and a parking lot burnout? Congrats on all the hard-earned success. This got serious!
One of my favorite car channels overall. Your presentation and journalism is amongst the Jason Cammisa & RealEngineering type channels of this platform combined. I've always been a fan of Keonigsegg but have never been able to fully articulate why. This video was really interesting & gave me the ammo to combat people that argue "they aren't in any racing" & "they're so expensive so there's no reason to favor them". Love your channel and this is one of my favorite car videos now. Cheers for many more years to come
Great Video. Enjoyed every second of it. Would love to see more of lesser known cars like The Gumpert Apollo for example.
That’s a good one!
The Gumpert would be cool. I would be interested to know what happened to the small production volume cars that Top Gear would test. Do the companies still exist?
@@bmstylee Gumpert sort of does, some chinese company bought it after it went Bankrupt and now is only known as Apollo. They Built the Intensa Emozione.
@@spoondude2025 ok. Stuff like the Ascari, Weissmam and Zenvo were really cool cars that probably don't exist anymore.
Christian Koenigsegg is an underrated legend, the man is so passionate about what he makes where other companies like Lambo and Ferrari lost that passion. He's in the marketing trenches for every car he makes to promote the car himself. Its so impressive in the times we live in now and I hope he can hold on to that passion until I can maybe one day afford one lol (probably not)
Best YT car channel for motor heads!!! Love these videos, learning so much.
Hands down the best modern car history channel on CZcams. You just get better and better man.
Did McLaren ever hold the record? To reach 240.1 they had to raise the rev limiter beyond what was used for the production cars which were limited to 221 by gearing. Can't recall if 221 was good enough for the record. Also, the Chiron SS didn't get the record because it was one way and there were aero mods to the record attempting car that weren't used for the production car. Anyways, glad to see you back 337!
Actually they could do 231mph which comfortably made the McLaren F1 the fastest production car ever before their 240mph record.
Car & Driver measured 220 mph at 7,500 redline, but they have observed the car is still accelerating upon reaching 7,500 supposedly redline. 240 mph is when the rev limiter was increased from 7,500 rpm to 8,300 rpm. Even at 220 mph, being a naturally aspirated car, that’s a humungous feat. Even today with naturally aspirated cars having tons of horsepower, they still struggle to exceed 220 mph. Likewise, raising the redline from 7,500 rpm to 8,300 rpm is not a massive modification. If I’m not mistaken, there’s no increase in horsepower. They just corrected the gearing as indeed they haved noticed earlier that even though the redline was set to 7,500, the car is still accelerating upon reaching the 7,500 redline. 240 mph was measured in VW proving ground on a two-way average. No naturally aspirated production supercar today even close to reaching 240 mph. The likes of Bugattis and Koenigs need to use force induction to dethrone the F1 as fastest production car.
This cat has bars. So many quotable lines for me and my motorheads.
Thanks for the videos!
Been keeping up with you for a long time, love to see the ghost squadron love. Perfect early christmas gift sitting down and watching this after cleaning all day.
Seeing as how you’ve mentioned the McLaren F1…Why not make a dedicated video to it😊
Merry Christmas 337
Same to you and your family🙏🏽
Christmas came early, I've been waiting for a video on my favorite super/hypercar manufacturer. Merry Christmas man!
The production value in this video is unmatched, informal, entertaining, and down right perfect, you are going places my dude, not that my opinion matters much but keep going my dude, great things are coming
The insane thing about Koenigsegg cars, is that it not only beat the land speed record, but it could also theoretically make good laps in tracks because of that power to weight ratio, compared to buggatti's fatter car.
Welcome back and merry Christmas 👋🙃
this is a great Christmas present, kudos to you and your amazing channel!
Man this video is soooo good, I threw it in the tv in Christmas dinner and everyone was staring at the TV. Keep them coming.
TV by the dinner table, you american?
The F1 was never designed for topspeed in mind, it was simply a unintentional byproduct of what it was.
Makes the McLaren F1 even more impressive when you think about it😮💨
Koenigksegg Jesko Absolute will rewrite the record 😌🔥👌
Excellent video and history, your channel deserves millions of suscribers, keep the good work !
Glorious video, keep up the good work
koenigsegg is so mindblowing that it quickly took ferrari's place as my all time favorite car, and that's a hellava feat because ferrari been my favorite since childhood. but when i saw photos of the cc8s, the short compact length and wide body with the cab forward design was extremely desirable!
The McLaren F1 is still one of the most beautiful cars ever.
Will always still be the fastest na car ❤
I agree!
Just got to see one in person, it’s tiny lol. In pictures it looks bigger.
Not one of. The F1 is the most beautiful car
Seriously, with modern head/tail lights, it would look brand new.
If it wouldn't absolutely kill the value, I'd love to see someone resto-mod one
A 337 Speed upload on Christmas Eve? Best gift this year for me. 👌🏽
Give it up to 337 speed for these amazing videos, shouting out from Houston tx🤘🏾
The burning of his factory is basically life telling him to look at a different angle, and instead of joining other manufacturers, why not make your own legacy while deviating the usual things while still leaving the world in awe of your creations... And 20 years later, we see technology in Koenigsegg cars which we dont even see in many of the known brands out there!
This channel made me fall inlove with the anatomy of cars from their history to how each engine part can change the performance entirely because of how you explain and produce your videos. And 9/10 these legendary engines and cars were born from an experiment that failed few times. I was was wait for so many months for new video. Would love love to know what made Mitsubishi Evo and WRX subaru both legendary rally monsters
Man I have been hunting your channel for new content keep it coming bro I love your channel
Amazing video! Appreciate the manufacturing information you have provided
Dude if anyone has ever watched Mustard videos for aviation vids this is like the automotive version of mustard and thats not a bad thing at all. Both of you have insane production quality and i enjoy waiting for you guys to upload because its always worth it. Amazing video Jay!🤝
337. Ironically my lucky 3 digit number.
Absolutely love these videos!
Always such an interesting watch
Got a random question, whats the process behind getting all of the footage?
One of the most interesting car videos I've came across on CZcams. Amazingly done and thank you!
I really enjoyed this video! We all know Koenigsegg is just waiting for someone to excite them enough to actually put the Jesko into record attempts. Rimac excited Koenigsegg enough to break out the Regera.
I don’t know man, that jesko definitely is faster, but then there’s the hennessey f5, and even bugatti took a page out of koeniseggs book and made that bolide, which is insane, and if it’s aero was removed, I’d reckon it could be even faster than the jesko/f5
Amazing video! Would you mind dropping your sources to some of the videos of the cars? For example the vids of the dynos and the video of the CCXR driving on the airfield?
Between 377 Speed and The Squidd, they are the only reasons why I watch car content on CZcams these day!
Also I'm a Koenigsegg fanboy lol
I watch the Squidd religiously, he can tell a story so well I burn through an hour like it’s nothing😂
Hell yeah, dude. I have to ration 337's and Squidd's videos so I don't consume all of the best car content at once. But it is damn hard
You completely forgot the Jesko, which the CC850 more or less owes its existence. The progression through the Agera series timeline was a little odd as well.
Otherwise, very good.
Dude this editing is so cool looking
Your videos just go hard. Love the work!

Journalism at its finest. Every detail, schematic and pedigree introduced at their most optimal times during editing and cool demeanor. @337speed... You that dude.
280+ mph sounds absolutely terrifying, i can understand going for the coveted fastest production car title but these hyper cars have well passed any practical usage scenarios i can imagine, but i guess people dont spend that kind of money on a vehicle for practical purposes anyway.
The word "practical" is thrown-around too much.
As a Japanese car enthusiast, I really wish JAPAN had a hyper car automobile to compete
Yeah the Nissan R390 and the Lexus LFA was top tier imo
I'm dreaming of Mazda doing a road version of the 787b *drools*
@@337speed the LFA is a super car IMO the best car ever made from Japan. But I think a hyper car is definitely over 1000 hp with top speeds above 230mph. I wonder if the Japanese government is keeping Japanese auto makers from creating vehicles like this?

very interesting love the video and the stats well explained and to the point thank you
looking out for more of your excellent videos.
Christian Von koenigsegg is an Artist & an Engineer at the same time.
I would absolutely love him to show me round one of his cars. His passion & expertise is phenomenal
Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut will definitely beat Chiron SS 300+ and honestly we have no idea what the TT v8 Gemera gonna do....
Keep doing videos bro. U got good flow, visuals, easy to follow etc. Gkod job 👊
What Christian has created in a very short amount of time is nothing short of amazing! The cars speak for themselves but as a brand its like you are talking to a friend in your garage about your project car and you are just shootin the......stuff. i have seen Christian at different car events and he is just one of the guys that will engage in conversation with anybody and not always about cars either!!! Do what you love to do and you will never work a day in your life
Great video!!!
Dont forget the Gemera with 2300hp HV8 option, and even that the Jesko is the fastest revving car in history. Also to be an official top speed world record, companies need to use an homologated car non tuned (like bugatti with the 300+) and do 2 ways top speed trips to get an average. Just give time to the Jesko Absolut to smash
I had no idea that's where the Ghost came from, that's insanely badass
Koenigsegg has always been my fav once I've seen the agera through the nfs movie 😅. It was from their on i gazed at Christian's wonderful creations with mind blowing innovations. Im sure Koenigsegg will manage through and continue smashing the records of others!
Nice video, but I was hoping it would cover all models up to the Gemera with 2300 HP. The multi-clutch gearbox is another invention that also is an example of "thinking outside the box", just like many other inventions by Koenigsegg.
I can't say how much I love you your love videos, keep it up. Beautiful content ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing! I've never watched detailed drafts about the Bentley Hunaudieres, and never realised how similar it was to the Veyron, design wise, both interior an exterior!
Oh man a Koenigsegg vid near Christmas lets go
To be clear it beat the McLaren in 1 metric. If you have ever spent any time with these cars you’d realize that is the only category in which the McLaren was bested. Even a modern Koeniggsegg isn’t as nicely built as something like a McLaren 720S.
There are very well documented vids(from well known youtuber's) stating and showing McLaren's build quality is not much better than normal everyday cars like toyota and such.
You are funny, take your medicine.
Hey bro. You put out some kick ass content. Big fan
Great vid. These are well made
The F1 is still the world's fastest N/A car. Let's not forget that.
Don't worry the F1 can smoke it on track.
@@stevendavis6157 refer to my original comment. It's still the world's fastest all motor car and probably will be be until the end of time.
Nobody beat the McLaren F1. It still holds the record for fastest NATURALLY ASPIRATED car. All these cars that came after it needed turbo chargers and superchargers.
McLaren is still King.
The McLaren F1 has a V12.
The Bugatti has W16.
The Koniggseg has a V8.
Do the math
Excellent presentation even better subject matter. I can't imagine actually traveling that fast. 👍

By far the BEST MOTOR SPORT CHANNEL EVER 💯
Always love your videos. Do you have anything coming up for the 86, BRZ & F-RS? Really dig those little cars. Very well balanced. They have quite a large following. I'd like to learn more, as this channel is an excellent resource
Man its been a while since i watched a vid and man I love this.
The beauty of the Mclaren was that it was'nt built to be the fastest yet became the fastest
It was a road car turned into a race car, with so little modifications it managed to win the 1995 lemans
To this day it still holds the record for the fastest naturally aspirated car
I didn't know the F1 was inspired by the NSX, it all makes sense now.
