This man is pushing forward innovation so far beyond the years of normal manufacturers it's almost hard to grasp what he's actually doing for the automotive world. This transmission he's talking about is astonishing. This man is a genius. Plain and simple.

Oh my God! He not only reinvented the CC8, he totally reinvented the manual transmission with variable ratios with an automatic mode too!!!

The fact that Koenigsegg releases a manual supercar in 22' is one more reason to believe that this car company is the best in the industry at this point.

This is the kind of transmission I've been waiting to see for a long time. I knew the engineering was there, just needed someone motivated enough to pursue it. Thank you Mr. Koenigsegg.

I hope this transmission is here to stay. Yet another way to set Koenigsegg apart. Also amazing idea to use different street and track ratios! You make sure we noticed the shift in the beginning of the video and it definitely gave hope. Did not disappoint. New poster car.

This really shows you how timeless the CC’s design was. 20 years later and with small tweaks it looks brand new.

Koenigsegg has to be my favourite hypercar manufacturer. Their innovation, passion and creativity are unmatched and this company deserves everything they've achieved and more.

I can _feel_ this man’s passion through the screen. Phenomenal

The fact that Every single Koenigsegg give this world an entirely new milestone is literally amazing. The pure love for cars, its engines, tranmisssions, design speaks for it self Hats Off Koenigsegg.

This is the gearbox that car enthusiasts having been dreaming of since we got behind the wheel for the first time.... you are truly inspiring and the epitome of a petrolhead to be innovating constantly and consistently since the birth of the company... Legendary!!

I've officially added "Drive in a Koenigsegg car" to my bucket list. I don't even care if it's in the passenger seat! These cars are works of art. More so than any other car on the market IMO.

The new era of manual transmission is here. This is absolutely insane mechanical engineering. Congratulations Koenigsegg!

I legit had tears when he said "Saving manuals for the future". This is everything that a true petrolhead needs in his life in the era where ICE's are dying with manuals and the fact that they are eco friendly with bio fuels. A huge congratulations to Koenigsegg and its team for achieving this marvel.

Honestly, the most surprising thing about this for me is that Koeniggsegg managed to build a clutch that can handle being slammed with almost 1400 hp. Like, I don’t even know what demon Christian had to sell his soul to to get that clutch alone made, let alone the engine or transmission, which are both equally astonishing pieces of engineering. Also, happy 50th to Christian. God I hope he has 50 more in him.

Ok. That dashboard. Just that. This is amazing just because it has a real analogue beautiful dashboard and not just a crappy digital one like the rest of brands nowadays. Another piece of art from Koenigsegg. This man brings pure joy and pleasure to the car community. Thank you and happy 50th anniversary Mr. Koenigsegg!

I don't think this car is going to be what people are expecting. It'll be WAY cooler.

I do admire his passion for his brand and the fact he knows everything about his company, like everything technical details included

This man is actually my idol, he never gave up on making his dreams of making real megacars and made it come true. Big respect. Excited to see the jesko top speed record.

This is just magnificent. Didn't know about this presentation and it's a great tribute for the 20th anniversary of the CC8S. But what I wasn't expecting at all was this revival of the manual ... with a bang! Not only is this maybe the only hypercar I can think of that comes with a manual transmission but it also innovates it further, with the total 9 gears available into the typical 6-speed configuration, so that you can have different ratios based on the use case. If I got it right it will still feature the typical auto mode which means it's a win-win situation, you'll be able to choose how you want to drive it without giving up on anything. I'm enthusiastic about this new breeze of manual transmissions, especially for the hypercar segment. I hope this will inspire more auto makers to follow Koenigsegg's lead. I'm all for these new innovations such as bio-fuels and even full electricity, though without renouncing to a good old manual which, in this case, is also a really evolved and refined version of it. It's proof manual can co-exist with the latest tech. Thanks Christian and team for understanding how vital manual is for us petrolheads. 💛💙

Can't stop watching videos on this car. I think the man has actually managed to save the manuals. Some of the most significant progress in sports cars has come from this firm. Long live Koenigsegg.

Dear Mr. Koenigsegg. I know the company and the cars since 2002, was lucky enough to visit the factory in 2005, being shown around by your lovely wife herself as a 15 year old fanboy. Now I'm 32 years old and you never fail to impress me! What an absolute legend, looking forward to the next 20 years! ❤️

The instrument cluster is so beautiful. The whole car looks like its a concept version of its own past model.

This man is a genius. Congrats on your 50th birthday boss.

This premiere will be looked back as a shining example for car manufacturers for years to come. What a car, hats off to you Christian. Happy 20th anniversary to the CC8S and 50th Birthday Christian.

This guy is literally the gift that keeps on giving. Greatest automaker of our time. Beautiful car and happy birthday Christian!

Koenigsegg never fails to impress with fantastic innovations 👌

I have waited for something like this for 10 years. THIS IS GREAT!

Hats off to this man, his company, staff and the products they make.

I am so happy for Christian and his People at Koenigsegg, and wish them all the very best, it is well deserved. A side note, they are at the forefront of new technology and the fact you have a choice of a 9-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual in the same gearbox is mind blowing! Kudos to you guys

You really feel the love and enthusiasm that went in to building that car. If I can feel it from the video and his words I wonder what it feels like touching the car. Koenigsegg reminds us again that a car should be seen as a piece of art. good going Christian. And thank you for keeping the dream alive.

Man Koenigsegg won my heart

Man, that manual with a clutch to a 9 speed automatic is really mind blowing had chills watching the whole vid as a fan of koenigsegg since the start. Well done!

Its hard to believe how young Koenigsegg is, they have been perfect since day one. They are a Supreme class to hyper cars. I almost mistook the 20 yo one for the new one. Thats how much ahead of their time they were.

I do not see a car company competing with Bugatti, the ancient legend of beauty, luxury, strength and speed

I wish I could afford one 😭 They are brilliantly built and engineered cars. The attention to detail is just _chef's kiss_

when the ghost squadron do a premiere you already know its gonna be mad 🤩

So refreshing to see a really great analog cluster in a day and age where everything is big screens. Its beautiful!

These guys are mad geniuses. Every new car they come up with has some revolutionary, way outside-the-box drivetrain and still crush it with performance and beauty to boot.

Will never afford one, but this man is a genius and produces the best cars in the world.

It’s one thing to make a fast car out of high quality materials, it’s another to completely push the boundaries of engineering ENTIRELY in house with a small team. This guy is a living legend. I just hope to see and hear one of these cars in person someday!

this is actually insane what they've managed to pull off here, I don't know how they do it but whatever they do is just perfect and they somehow keep improving upon what's already perfect without compromising anything. Hats off to you Christian and all the team at Koenigsegg and congratulations on the 20th Anniversary!

The man is just light years ahead of anyone.

Amazing new technologies for every new car. Absolute respect to Mr Koegnigseg

That transmission you madmen created is an absolute technological marvel! As always you never cease to amaze people, Koenigsegg. Well done!

I put so much love and appreciation to Koenigsegg and the team behind him. He almost made my cry when he said *“created from blood sweat and tears from a VERY little crew of people,”* this is a man’s dream and embodiment of what a “teamwork makes dream work” truly is. It only took 20 years from this small group of people to stand up against bigger and older motorsport companies. It is such a marvelous job from a guy who started everything from nothing to something.

I really wish if they would sell the gearbox individually, and I would install it in every car I have or possibly own. This is astonishing.

I probably never be able to afford a car like this, but I'm immensely appreciate the effort, creativity and innovation they put into every new car they create.

So an automatic transmission with a manual. This thing is magic.

Koenigsegg simply does it again. It amazes time and time again.

the Koenigsegg CC850 has gotta be the greatest car ever. it's a hypercar with a stick shift that has the Swedish flag on the knob! 😍

Christian, you remain my favorite maker because of how genuine you are. You don't sit in an ivory tower, and it's like your cars are designed for you first, customers second, resulting in a culture around your brand that can't really be replicated.

The transmission is awesome, manual and automatic. With different gear ratios depending on whether you're on the road or on the track. They again reinvented the wheel, what a company!

This thing is beautiful, and also equipped with a manual. Definitely going to be one of the best modern cars.

Christian von Koenigsegg and his Team are absolutely genius. I remember when i was first reading an Interview with CvK where he said his Goal is to become so important as Ferrari to the supercar-world. Don't get me wrong, Ferrari is a fantastic manufacturer of great Cars, but i would rather live in a world without Ferrari then without Koenigsegg. If i ever will be get the possibility of driving one of these Masterpieces, i will be in Heaven. I followed the Company in every way over the years and was a big fan from the begining. CvK is an absolute Icon. Thank you Sir and all the best for you, your Family and your Company. Greetings from Germany

Absolutely mind blowing, never had that much goosebumps watching a car premiere. Im out of my mind, I don't know who can relate to me but as a car mechanic and a long term fan of Koenigsegg I don't know how to describe what I just watched. Hughe respect to you Christian.

Incredible how Koenigsegg literally never fails to impress us!

Oh. MY. WORD. That made my heart rate go through the roof. Absolutely incredible transmission and the perfect throwback to the OG Koenigsegg.

THE KING IS BACK I'm so excited man thank for making all these cars real

Engine that built by his passion soon will be a legend in future. Passionate engineer, car lover, industrialist, & business man.

Koenigsegg deserves every inch of success they made trough these years. Mad respect 👌

You know your on top of your game when the only competition is yourself…amazing company!!!

The world needs more leaders like you, Mr. Koenigsegg

Koenigsegg are always unique , fabulous and beautiful.

Congratulation to both 20 & 50 years celebration, as a Swede I'm so proud over your extreme progress you have been able to achive. Give your self a big tap on your own shoulder, and once again super big hip hip hurrah for you and the Koenigegg !!!!

Koenigsegg is just in another dimension! Just when you think they’ve pushed the envelope beyond the limit! They blast past that limit! Absolutely unreal! Congrats on 20 years Koenigsegg & Congrats on 50 years Christian!

Koenigsegg has done THEMSELVES, what Singer did for classic 911's! Absolutely unbelievable.

you Sir…are the Gerald Genta of the car industry…..making timeless design cars….Happy Birthday to u n to the company…🤗🙌🏻 love from Malaysia🇲🇾

Your team’s abilities, knowledge, and willingness to push the envelope while staying dedicated to the enthusiast experience is so inspiring. Making history one step at a time. Absolutely love it

I remember flying down the road with the CC8S in TDU. Fun times. Glad they're bringing this model back!

Car is awesome! Happy birthday to Koenigsegg and to you too

Well presented. What a piece of art in our generation.

If someone is going to save the manuals, it’s this man.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I saw Christian in the CC8S a few weeks ago. He was heading towards Hallandsås and I was going from Förslöv towards Ängelholm. I asked my wife why she thought he'd be out driving that one. She was not as interested as I was. Pretty sure he was on his way to shoot this vid, I seem to recall that shirt. It is always a pleasure to see these cars around here. Amazing creations.

Christian, je suis Français et je n'ai que 15, mais je rêve déjà de toute les konnegsegg, en claire, toi et t ingénieur me font rêver. Merci

Mr. Christian Von Koenigsegg, your company produce cars that always overwhelms us all! Koenigsegg is now my most favourite car brand. As an engineer myself, I strive to one day own one of your great creations, an I promise you, I will. Also happy 50th!

I think this car is a hommage of CC series. The silhouette of this reminds me CC8S, CCR or CCX

cc850 is perfect. it's gorgeous. it literally has all the feels, everything that was in cc8s, but it still looks new, with the new vibe. definitely the best comeback car I've ever seen

The man is innovating on EVERYTHING he puts in his cars. Every single model is a tech landmark. Love their spirit.

Genius! happy birthday when it comes!!!

I don't think I've ever heard a more detailed presentation from any car manufacturers when showcasing their brand new product. Shows how passionate Christian is with his company. Respect +++

The first supercar I ever saw was a Koenigsegg CC8S, when I was 5, at Top Gear, now I'm 16 and seeing my childhood dream car come back again is insane, thank you so much Koenigsegg.

I have been in love with yours cars for 20yrs, I have never even seen one in person, I'm a retired Vet and know I will never get to own one. But that has not changed my love. Amazing job I love you cars and happy birthday. Enjoy the day and stay safe.

thank you so much!!!

This is just absolutly insane 🥵. Huge respect. Manual and automatic.... a dream

On my birthday? Amazing. The perfect present.

This company is pure passion and inovation.

Lets go !!! I am from Sweden 🇸🇪 🇸🇪🇸🇪

Koenigsegg are the most inovative hypercar brand. Change my mind.

Congratulations! Can’t believe it’s been that long since I first got introduced to the company on Top Gear! The industry really needs passionate people like you! Beautiful car, and amazing engineering, as always!

Perfect transition! Excellent. So good!

A unbelievable beauty.💎🏆💎 Congratulations whit 20 years producing the most powerful and beautiful cars.👑🇱🇺😉

That is absolutely awesome. Keeping the manual and integrating it with an auto I thought was impossible. Hats off to Koenigsegg for not caving to ditching real engines like Dodge and others are doing

Love the new car, looks great and has the technology to go with the looks. The gearbox is amazing with the different track and road ratios. The people at Koenigsegg are truly amazing. The tech that you utilize in you art truly is out of this world. Happy early birthday Christian. Happy 20th to Koenigsegg as a company as well. Hope the manual and the gearbox stay for a while and hope that you continue to build cars that are way ahead of their time.

I really need the Koenigsegg Playlist :D To listen to it in a Koenigsegg one day ❤

In the past, the interior design has always been the one thing holding Koenigseggs back from being my dream car, but this beautifully designed and executed interior more than ticks that box! A beautiful mix of sophisticated practicality, elevated performance, and precision craftsmanship. Well done, design team🙌

They managed to pull off a retro take on an early 2000s car and make it look amazing. How time flies

I actually made a correct prediction about their next move with LST lol. When I first learned about the LST and how it's work, I thought that with the capabilities of LST, it's a no brainer to make a simulated manual transmission. And they are actually going to make it and put it in their cars now. Best of the both world, road and track. Massive congratulation and happy 50th birthday Christian.

"it means, we can save manual for the future" THIS IS WHAT WE WANT! what an amazing piece of art

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. CVK is a man I could listen all day long. And it wouldn't matter what he would talk, I would listen.. And the things that come out of his head and goes to practice, is mind blowing. Alienstuff... Huge respect, massive congratulations on your birthday and obvious success for the new model!

I've never been more excited about a car that I can't afford in a very long time! Awesome job team Koenigsegg!
