@@joshuasterling2144 agreed, but who else does that? No one. The thought of making a GATED system that also allows for an automatic mode does not come to mind for any other company.

@@joshuasterling2144 well, any sort of new, genuinely amazing tech/design is always expensive until we figure out how to make it cheaper lol

@@joshuasterling2144 really expensive tech often times means consumers get the same tech a few years later for affordable prices. Let’s hope consumer cars can get this in 10~ years or so!

Die hard manual guys will still look down on this. It’s effectively a PDK just with an added unnecessary clutch and unnecessary shifter

it was always a single clutch but with computers. as a kid i would always think why dont car makers do this.

And it can take 1300hp

@@johnyman13 Yeah, that point makes it even more stunning.

Of course there's a weight penalty! Christian in his typical hyperbole! The weight penalty is obviously the additional manual shifter mechanism and the clutch pedal assembly.

Realtalk 🤝🏼

Yes...all the car manufacturers with legendary cars should take notes. I am tired of them coming up with designs and forms that are absolutely nothing like the old cars...People have been asking for the old shapes back but they always come up with some stupid new look.

VOLVO P1800 CYAN, Is up there! Wow

My goodness, yes. Look at Lamborghini's attempt at paying tribute to the great Countach, and it was essentially an Aventador with a few Countach styling cues. It's more of an insult to the Countach than an homage. But with the CC850 they actually captured the spirit of the CC8S; made it an analog 6-speed (same as CC8S), they sacrificed BHP to capture the throttle responsiveness, gave it the same proportions as the CC8S with regards to dimensions, and as you said, almost indistinguishable in terms of design as the original. This is what happens when a company is headed by people with a vision, rather than a committee with excel sheets.

Thanks for making me think about the new Countach and cry. Lol. You are totally right. This is exactly what and homage should be. Singer also get the same memo.

Agree totally! You know he is truly passionate about what he does.

Him and jarod Shelby(the guy who owns SSC). Their cars and passion are next level

He's actually not an engineer he says it himself he's just a genius

Totally agree the man is beyond genius, I love every car he puts out every one has the latest tech.

@@jessegillmore7228 Indeed, I'd include Pagani as well.

It might in fact be the fastest manual production car in the world, right? Time to call Guiness again, I'd assume by this point Christian has them on speed dial

@@Real_MisterSir Isn't it technically an automatic gearbox with a manual gear lever? Where does that put it in the realms of technical specification? xD

@@mnirocky yes. But you change from every individual gear manually so... technically is both manual and automatic. It's amazing. It's witchcraft!

@@mnirocky When in manual mode you HAVE to use the clutch like any other manual box, the clutch has biting point etc and as CvK says it's mechanical, no software is controlling the shifts. It's only an automatic gearbox in that mode as there's no automation whatsoever in manual mode. There's no this with that here, it's more a this AND that regardless how you want to define it.

And 1% can afford it.

Should be an enthusiast's car then, doubt it'll happen to cost-cutting econoboxes

Its cool but nto useful. Why would you need 2 types of shifting? You csn then just sell the same car in 2 ootions which manufacturers already do

for a company that tries to not go hybrid despite working with Rimac, that tells you alot about passion

It's simple. Dual clutch transmissions cannot shift from any gear to any gear. Lamborghini is so backward they still haven't found a DCT for the Aventador.

@@srinitaaigaura Lamborghini aren't backward, it's just the limitations of the design. They wanted to fit a twin clutch in an aventador but none of the ones they have to use actually fit

@@thomashayhurst6547 true. To manage the torque from their V12, there was only one gearbox good enough. And that's the Chiron's. 1. It's MASSIVE and can't fit 2. It's way too expensive 3. Imagine an aventador with a gear selector that looks like it came from a Chiron. Not a good design. That's why

I was lucky enough to meet an engineer from the company. They literally hire the best of the best. It's a small team of engineers but just talking to this guy made me realize why Koenigsegg stands out from other brands

I know right! It's a shame it has taken this long to make a true duel mode transmission. Something like this would be perfect for people that would had to settle for an automatic in the past because their wife could not drive a manual.

@@evoman44 It's not a real manual though... It's just a controller for one.

@@evoman44 Remember some people's wives can drive manual (hand raised proudly 🙋). 😉

@@Malc180s Exactly my thoughts, this isn't incredible engineering at all. I'm sure other supercar manufacturers have though about this but didn't want to do so much effort for a bunch of fake bullshit. Imo this isn't anything better than an electric car that has the sound of a V8 come out of the speakers.

@@Boris_V you can dislike it but you can’t say it is not incredible engineering. Because it is. Same goes for a turbo engine that has the feel of a NA one. Maybe not your cup of tea but nonetheless it fits their vision perfectly. The fact it is so well thought of already makes it a nice piece of engineering.

@@johnmitchell2269 yes, as is with any Koenigsegg.

and it just casually happens to be a 1:1 aswell.

Pagani has done that time and again. Why people talk down about them is beyond me.

@@johnmitchell2269 and only 49 people can own it, since the #1 CC850 is belonged to Christian himself lol

I'm prepared to bet some have over the years but developing an F1 engine might not be in the company's interest

Because they already have engineers that are just as good, and even more specialised for racing. Christian is developing a spread of innovations for road cars, he's not making racing cars.

F1 will make you broke. Only big companies can afford it. And you cannot innovate as you wish like here. Racing is highly restrictive. None of Koenigsegg's unique ideas would be legal in F1 or most racing series.

And I think "design" is Koenigsegg's weakest point. (take Jesko aside) . Technical innovation their best.

Its one thing to dream up all these things, but the most impressive thing about it is that they always manage to succeed making them work.

No it isn't, it's nothing more than a controller. It's a paddle shifter with extra steps. It's a fake manual gearbox.

@@Boris_V I heard that. But the fact they put in to much time with the clutch to simulate the grab and even ability to stall is incredible. It’s more than just a simple button. He clearly said it uses hydraulics too. But the real test will be when we see a drive review for how the clutch actually feels rather than what he just stated

@@Boris_V obviously I know it not a physical manual. But the fact they can simulate it that well is a milestone

maybe in some sports oriented car, but nowdays, usually on regular cars, cost snd profit is everything, Driving experience comes waaaaay down the list of things they prioritize

@@Boris_V you know that the gearbox is unique? Koenigsegg designed and developed this gearbox, and no one else uses anything like this

I want nothing more the Koenigsegg to start an F1 team. They have the engineering talent and Christian has the resources to back it.

@@Gramps935 if he entered others would enter and it would be a historic landmark

@@Gramps935 they make fantastic cars, and the technology and level of innovations they bring is unmatched, but they still lacks something on the aerodynamic compartmen, that is the most important thing on a F1 alongside the power unit, I mean Ferrari and McLaren has a way higher understanding of aerodynamics on they production cars than any koegnisseg and pagani or Bugatti, obviously they are more focused on the supercar range, but this is still true. And what Adrian Newey a achieved with the Aston Martin Valkyrie is astonishing. So in my humble opinion of a guy who would never own such beautiful and awesome cars, koenigsegg is not really ready for an F1 adventure,and imho they don't really need to. F1 is ridiculously expensive the costs to develop a in-house power unit is absurdly high, I mean even Ferrari struggled till 2022 season and mclaren is a bit down on the grid positions and they are currently the two teams with the most history in F1, koenigsseg should really risk to put themselves in this crazy adventure with the highly chance of failure? I don't think so. Plus they are already consolidated in their own hypercar segment, with loyal customers, F1 wouldn't bring anything valuable for the company imho.

@@Gramps935 it would be very cool but I doubt they would be a very competitive team, not for a long time at least. I could see Koenigsegg having a somewhat successful WEC car though.

u agreee with everything exept them not bein good enough in aerodynamics, the jesko absolut is as far as i know the most aerodynamic car ever in production. they managed to have a drag coefficient of 0,278, waaaaaaay bellow what is useble in a f1 car, so if they wanted to get into f1 i dont think aerodynamics is gonna slow them down one bit. the amount of data they go through to perfect everything about their cars is mental and aerodynamics is hardly that difficult to get right nowadays

And I think "design" (outer shape) is Koenigsegg's weakest point. Always was.(take Jesko aside) . Technical innovation their best.

we’re lucky to witness a true genius

Just the right amount of power man!? Thats insane power

@@vicenarybuffalo2296 I'm not bashing Mr. Cristian achievements but considering overall weight sorry but McLaren F1 is still a much lighter carbon-fiber hoonicorn (F1 has 1138kg vs 1175kg of CC8S & 1385kg of this CC850 ) F1 also comes without a confusing gearbox just a simple to operate 6 speed manual, bigger NA engine V12 with ~650 bhp, it has center driving position means it can be operated on all parts of world (left-or-right lane traffic, it has 3 seats and can carry even some custom luggage bags on sides as well and it was build way back from 1992-1998..

There are many people who dream similar things but usually are in different positions to be able to achieve such dreams Just like when Koenigsegg wanted the first removable hardtop supercar then the Ferrari F50 dropped

BMW's SMG gearbox (E90 bmw, or E60 for eg.) is already a digitized manual. Its literally a manual gearbox being changed using software and additional hardware.

@@stubones it's nice but the Gearbox in the Koenigsegg is a nother story.

@@stubones But only on a technical level. You can’t drive it as a proper manual.
