Thats the difference between him and anyone else. He didnt hope and wish. He did. He went out balls to the wall and did it. Do it man. I fuckin dare you

Wow is great

I am in the Rush

support you bud but its a mega car not supercar lol..

Not unbeatable do your reserch

I really do wish I could get your rims for my motorcycle. When are you guys going to start offering offering Keonizegg motorcycles 🏍? If I could get my hands on some motorcycle 🏍 rims the weight in rims Would save off seconds plus your experience in gas electric is the future. If this were ever attempted on F1 cycles it be a breakthrough in modern technology and historical in the Moto world ..

It’s not a mega car yet, it’s just below one megawatt, so it’s still a hypercar

I was also surprised by his age and it also gives me hope to start my own company involving super cars.

I agree that this man is incredible, but don't knock Americans for some non sense that you're pulling out of your ass. The engine in the venom is not "randomly tuned." If it is, well that's even more amazing because a random tune is making more horsepower than you and your donkey make, x100.

Americans are profit motivated, supercars are not that profitable. Whatever country you're from....been on the moon ?? Build stealth fighter & bombers ? Even have a nuke powered aircraft carrier ? How about a series of rovers on Mars ? I didn't think so. Oh, sugarsaint,you're Black, no wonder you don't understand.

.

sugarsaint Whoa dude, chill. Now I shall take the neutral side here and weigh out some factual pros and cons of both the Koenigsegg here and the Hennessy. Hennessy Venom GT: Pros: -Better than a Veyron -Delicious V8 -Lotus chassis, therefore can turn nicely -270 mph in ~2 miles, less than a Veyron can reach its top speed, which is 5+ miles -Looks fucking awesome because the Lotus it was born from looks awesome -Price: Less than most hypercars within the 250+ mph range Cons: -Lotus chassis, therefore cannot qualify for top speed world record and counts as a modified Lotus -Looks like a Lotus Koenigsegg One:1 Pros: -Better than a Veyron -Delicious V8 -Advanced aerodynamics -Due to adv. aero, it would surpass the Hennessy in terms of top speed, possibly 275+ mph? -Possibly 270+ mph in ~2 miles, less than a Veyron can reach its top speed, which is 5+ miles -Original design Cons: -Slightly less usable for daily driving than its sibling, the Agera R (my favorite out of all of Koenigsegg's cars) -Price (duh) Both are awesome cars, so stop whining and shut the fuck up. This is a car YT channel, not some space-moon conspiracy or some shit.

Stephen Puckett Say WHAAAAAATTTTT?!?!?! Supercars not profitable? Ferrari $150M profit (with only 2000 cars sold) Lambo can't find profit but $650M turnover Porsche $2,6Billion profit Done looking, but they are definitely profitable.

you got 7 million? cause Ill split the cost with you haha I also really want this

And it didn't need 4 turbos, 16 cylinder Or 8 liters to get there...

Wow is greay

Great

DrathVader spend less money on building death star tho

Stupib

Phan To Tam Says the one that cant spell stupid.

how about pagani is the hilt, beautiful setting, jeweled, and wrapped in baby seal skin, while koenigsegg is the blade, 3-d printed to replace steel folding, carbon-titanium to replace the steel.

SvartHal Wonder what evolution Koenigsegg will make in 10 years from now? "The new Koenigsegg 'lightspeed' " lol.

Pagani is all about design and art Koenigsegg is all about performance

You prefer slower, heavier supercars with huge german corporative support? :)

lolololol

I go for performance, and Koenigsegg has it all

you havent seen many cars, have you?

@@paveantelic7876 its one of then

Great series..

yes is a great series..

comment below must be in 2023 V

Amarjit Singh You Care about top speed more then anything else?

Mikael K i wuv yo jocke mate

nope... its slower from than a 500 HP/1700kg p. Turbo from 2012

+r34r33r32 r34r33r32 how so? xD

+Mikael K Jizz in pants before entering the car :D

like omg is true

Well said.

It helps when the man who owns the company is also an engineer who helps to design the car aswell

I agree. Christian is about as close to a real-life Tony Stark, in that the CEO of the company is also one of the best engineers in the company (minus the playboy attitude and outlandish lifestyle).

Tianyi Lu Elon Musk more so in my opinion.

It's perfect partner not polluted in any manner whatsoever people really need to appreciate what that means in a climate like ours

Tianyi Lu too right

He is indeed a genius : he didn't officially study engineering!

Because they have barely made 1000 cars

They get enough attention

Who wouldn’t?

What technology has come to

the actual process he is talking about is laser sintering, in which metal powder is molten together by a laser layer by layer to form the final shape

megacar :)

Exactly! :D

Please not another term. I'm sorry, but it's silly. Even the line between supercar and hypercar can't be agreed on. As technology continues to develop the requirements for consideration in each tier should increase, the solution isn't simply adding more words.

Gorlacon It's clear in my mind, the difference between hypercar and supercar. I don't know why people don't see it the way I do. I've commented on this before in another /Drive video discussing the terminology between hypercar and supercar. Megacar, however, is now anything with more than a megawatt of power, by definition.

to me this is a hypercar. a car that is insane in design, stats and feel.

The venom gt is just an insanely tuned stretch lotus that is a piece of shit compared to the one:1

I've never seen a video claiming the Venom was good at corners or brakes, or drivability etc. Comparing the two is wrong. This is a car. The Venom is a dragster.

DOM. what are you doing here hahaha

leolol He's a slag like that ;)

leolol It's a rule that as a photo channel he mustn't watch or comment on anything that isn't photography related, else he be damned!!! :P

I'm a comment whore. Should see how much I post on tyt.

Mega car***

RussyG32 I won't call it that just yet. I don't think it'll be on a whole different level than the P1 and the LaFerrari. Maybe only just faster.

Those cars are at the top end of hyper cars, this car made a new category.

RussyG32 In terms of power yes, indeed. In terms of performance however? We don't know yet. We need to see the numbers and the test drives. That's why I'm not calling it a megacar yet.

ianiva It goes 0-400 km/h in 20 seconds... Nuff said.

firefox doesn't support 1080p playback, use chrome or downloader apps to get it - FYI

exactly, the man is amazing. He had long hair when he started Koenigsegg. PRESSURE.

I don't think he's going for the cars you've said...More like...Bugatti!

OmegaEGGY I've heard that bugatti have become pissed with everybody firing slavos into the side of there veyron, and that they're going to build a new KILLER. Sounds interesting

sugarsaint Damn, that is indeed very interesting. Question is: will it beat the Koenigsegg-Hennessy joint strike force? Wait, they're not much of a joint strike force, are they? Still, they seem friendly to each other. Bugatti, on the other hand...

I'd prefer it more so if Koenigsegg would keep the One:1 out of the pointless top speed dick swinging contests just because it will be compared by idiots to an overrated garbage tuner car and I do not want this masterpiece to be associated in any way with a glorified Exige. Just unleash this beast round the ring and let the top speed be an added bonus rather than the main focus. :D

Rapolu Roshan Not trying to defend the Venom GT necessarily, but it actually shares very little with the Lotus it started out as.

rbeaton16 Got nothing against the Venom either, just annoyed by the people who think these two cars are on the same level. Tuner car will stay tuner no matter how many times they say "The only thing it has in common with the lotus is the doors and windshield." which is apparently a hard concept to grasp. :)

Rapolu Roshan i'm always glad to see wise men's words on the internet

Rapolu Roshan The venom and the One share 1 thing in common, they both have a 1:1 power to weight ratio...

***** What Sean.. LOL Leave me alone man LOL..

Agreed, not just in automotives but if this was the case for defense and space. We would be so far ahead. Oh well.

Kcducttaper1 One of the best luxuries you have when you are focused on making the best product that you can possibly create in your life time. Especially, not on how much yearly income your company will generate from sales to such a ridiculous amount. It is beautiful and fantastic in its own marvelous way!

He always has been. Back in the late 90's (98/99) I emailed them back then and asked for high res pictures, and actually got them. They have always been very proud of the car and development. I'm surprised Wikipedia doesn't have pictures or writeup of the earlier versions.

walperstyle Edit and add them yourself.

Carbon fiber can't bend. It most be the housing he refers to.

BagBody33 Depends on the mixture and how long you bake it..

I wonder what parts will they change on the production car compared to the mule; where they will save 30 kilos

tjay84 You got it all wrong. Carbon fiber bends very well. It is just very stiff. It is very flexible, but it does not like impacts. It has 5 times the stiffness to weight over for example titanium and that is why it is used. Takes up less space to create the same stiffness plus it weighs less than metals.

Robert Elliott propably will put in more plastic things, maybe plastic wheels....

I don't think so considering it costs way more then bugatti veyron and there will only 7 or 8 produced and all of them are already sold out.

elukok Top Gear have a great relationship with Koenigsegg, so if any TV show can get one, they can.

Perhaps Koenigseggs own test car(the one in the film) will be allowed contact with the Stig?

elukok well i do think so, as there's nobody worth knowing in the car world that Jeremy Clarkson doesnt have on SPEED DIAL

mrmactknife They haven't even tested agera or agera r on top gear. Well stig did drive it for the magazine but not on telly

Only making 6. Some Dubai oil selling arabic guy is gonna drive this around.

philip s theyll have something newer and faster by the time they have finished so its all good

I didn't even know there are 3D printers for metals such as titanium, and to make the turbochargers using a 3D printer is just amazing!

ghp0518 It uses metal powder that is molten with a laser, layer by layer.

Maciej WrOtEk no that's not true.

That's not a fair race. Koenigsegg would smoke them. And Koenigsegg is a megacar so the others are not even in the same league.

We can dream! I'd settle for them all going round the ring and actually showing a lap and time... Ahem (Mclaren).

***** But I wouldn't mind that hypercar race though ^_^

The only car to beat a Koenigsegg would be another Koenigsegg. The One:1 technology went into the Agera SRN car , which can be seen on other You Tube sites and is now for sale in England for over £4.2 million pounds.

thats an amazinh hp/weight ratio

+X88X Lol, thats with the heating, which probably takes up the most watts.

So i Expect, when your hairdryer has so much power, your head looks like Christian von koenigsegg's head ?!?

The940classic 1hp is exactly 746w. therefore, 1500w ≈ 2hp.

The940classic I'm sorry for offending you. But it's not like I am a total ignorant, it is a fact that 1 horsepower equals 746 watts (google "1hp to watt" if you doubt my word). What I said with my hairdryer was a joke, if you didn't understand already.

national pride is a beautiful thing.

***** shut up trash

XD

Noob Saibot tobias boon

nice catch.. :D :D :D

MyMMC this 4 year old comment made my day

You mean... Keyboard?

Like Elon, will he make a spacex competitor

+joseph sherry Haha nah I think he'd simply say "You can't drive a spaceship 8|". Elon is about seeing things come to be that didn't exist yesterday and building a market around them. Koenigsegg is about building the best four wheeled speed machine with no compromise. The difference there is kinda cool in itself because no matter what, they're both kicking ass at what they love to do. and God Damn that's a beautiful machine...

his daily driver is a tesla model s

Sad boy

Makes my 10 best list

sid johnson the number one of my top three so far.

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is no longer the king in top speed. Since February it has been the Hennessey Venom GT with 270.49MPH on a 3.2 mile track. However the One:1 is more powerful than the Venom GT

Venom gt and Agera 1 have the same power-weight ratio. Is a fight of gear ratio between them.
