It’s taken us a while to get to this video from Drive, which takes us inside the Koenigsegg factory in Angelholm, Sweden. But it has definitely been worth the wait and we’re sure you’ll agree.
While Ron Dennis would probably have heart palpitations that the factory is not fastidiously spotless or organised, we think he’d get off on Christan von Koenigsegg explaining the finer details of carbon fibre production. Not to mention the detailed explanation of how the door hinges work and why they were created.
In fact, if you love cars and don’t come away from this video without a man crush on von Koenisegg then you must sell whatever machinery you love and trade it in for a beige Corolla.
Oh, one more thing, in the video von Koenigsegg makes mention of “the record”. If you need a reminder of what that is all about, click here.

Christan von Koenigsegg’s head is about as smooth and shiny as the mclaren factory though
Brilliant. Love the fact that it’s not over produced corporate wank, it’s just CvK talking about something he has absolute passion for. The bit about the ghost symbol at the end is a great touch too.
Audi R8 at about 11:30? Great video though. Such immense attention to detail.
I like this guy! If you are a gazillionaire who is passionate about cars, you would be giving CvK a call straight away to order a car wouldn’t you? Well at least I would if I was one.
Btw, where does he find the backing and money to start a supercar project at age 22??? Is he from a gazillionaire family himself?
I would too didn’t he have some money behind him or sell another tech start up business maybe wiki is your friend?
