Ferrari never was the same after Enzo passed away. No one will measure up Christian because Koenigsegg is Christian. Certainly the brand will live on and keep expanding beyond his generation and still be tremendously successful but my point is keep enjoying every time he invite us to see every detail of Koenigsegg with a heart wrenching humility which by the way is truly admirable. He knows his creations are reserved for the super rich and yet he enjoys sharing his passion with us like a normal otherworldly smart person would do

Interesting comparison. It depends what you wanna talk about don´t you think? Ozzy is not even a car guy, and probably don´t remember that much of his career either. A beer with Brian Johnson of AC/DC would be cool though. Actually Brian should do another season of Cars That Rock and visit Christian and Koenigsegg in Sweden. That would be awesome.

As a Civil Engineer myself, i have some understanding of what it takes to design something special and come up with solutions to things that nobody else will ever see or understand fully. Christian knows every nut, bolt , wire and hydraulic system in every one of his cars. He is a genius of an engineer and I for one have the utmost respect for his beautiful creations

He's not unique though. For example Elon Musk also intimately knows the in and outside of more than one company and their products: SpaceX and Tesla are the largest. He was involved in nearly aspects of design and manufacture, of all products. He goes even further than that: He spent 3 years in the Tesla factory, day and night, getting the production for Model 3 up, running, and corrected. He slept on the office couch or even on the floor, so the workforce knows he's on their level and not high and dry giving orders like most executives.

It also shows how much thought goes into every single part. Once you realise how good and simple the "laser etched wire dispensing machine" (LEWDM) is, it's such a no-brainer I wonder why everyone with large amounts of custom wiring doesn't do it. But Koenigsegg does because they took the time to think about such a trivial thing.

I don't think there has ever been a Christian Von Koenigsegg video that hasn't been awesome, but these past videos mixed with the classic Mr. JWW production skills have been mind blowing... I really can't pick a favorite part between the insights into the little details like the wiring looms, the attention to detail, etc. For example, you standing on the "roll bar" of a windscreen was a pretty epic way to show the quality and over-engineering that goes into these cars.

It’s great how much he obviously likes and trusts you .these tours are amazing and fascinating and very special. Really enjoyable to watch.

Bugatti no longer exists, it's Bugatti-Rimac now. Rimac produces some parts for Koenigsegg. Most of the electric motors and battery packs are made by Rimac for them. Rimac also makes some CNC parts for them for some strange reason. There's a lot of Rimac parts in Koenigsegg, that's why they're building their own electric motor and battery production facilities now. They want to be independent of other suppliers. Rimac and Koenigsegg are really good friends, have been for years. They even had collaborative winter testing at Pirelli’s Sottozero Centre a week or so ago.

He had me at that airlock roll up door. I've been in building maintenance for 20 years. All the facilities I've worked in and have never seen a roll up door that smooth and fast. Just baller! And I bet that coffee is wonderful too. Sheesh.

Thanks a LOT for all these Koenigsegg videos, they're the epitome of infotainment. Talk about that you got the Grand Tour over there... incredible opportunity, and I'm so glad you took well care of it and shared it with us.

I got to chat with Christian for a bit last year. He really seems like a guy who is completely happy because he is doing exactly what he wants to do.

He has always amazed me with his level of vision and commitment. He is so far ahead of most of his competitors. He has remained small and focused on the consumer. Others are large car companies that focus on their bottom line. He is living his own self made dream job. Hope he is in the game for a very long time.

Christian and his team are not only on an unbelievable technical level but they also manage to make every nut, bolt and part of the car a piece of art.

I love the fact that Christian knows exactly what is going on at every stage of production and development. The fact that he can explain what they have done and why they have done it just shows how involved he is with product development.

I love how many young faces i saw building this spaceship! Amazing!

Just amazed by how Christian is so involved, knowledgeable and passionate with the manufacturing of his cars, I work for a car manufacturer myself and I could guarantee most of the high up bosses would not have half a clue of what certain parts are and what they do.

As someone that was in the automotive electronics industry dealing with numerous manufacturers for 30 years.

Its crazy how Koenigsegg's tech keeps evolving every year, you find out so many new things that they did research and testings on that you never hear any other company do or talk about. its almost like they're spilling the beans, but they know nobody else will be willing to challenge them in their market segment & Christian is so nice and open about how everything works in the company.

The wiring/harness portion of this video was so satisfying!! Thank you for this great insight into Koenigsegg's operations.
