Not a fan. This is not a manual, but some sort of contraption with feedback connected to their Light Speed Transmission from the Jesko. Calling this a manual or acting like it provides the same experience as a manual is pretty clownish. Then again, when I heard they were making this, this is exactly the sort of nonsense I expected.

And also at the beginning of their presentation all the BS about how the CC8S was the fastest or had the most powerful engine... They built 6 cars in total. It doesn't even remotely qualify as a production vehicle... Koenigsegg really remind of that one episode of South Park where they were satirizing Bono, asking: how can he do so many things that at first sight seem amazing, yet still be such a piece of shit? Well, watch the episode for the answer... And I have the same exact feeling about Koenigsegg, they do so many "amazing" cars, yet their vibe is still that of upstarts who have to constantly peddle BS to get noticed.

watched this video and it made me think of you, i'm glad there are other car enthusiasts that didn't buy into Koenigsegg hype

Today, almost 45 years after he first saw it, mention of The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix brings a smile to von Koenigsegg's face. Made in 1975, this charming Norwegian stop-motion children's film tells the story of an eccentric bicycle repairman and inventor who builds an equally eccentric car to race a Formula 1 champion who has stolen his engine design.
"I went to the local cinema with my father, and I remember being totally blown away by it," recalls von Koenigsegg, who still has a model of the film's star car, Il Tempo Gigante, (think Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on steroids) on a shelf in his office. "That was my first memory of wanting to build a car. I wanted to be like that bicycle repairman and build that strange wild invention of a car.

if you have the chance to watch Pinchcliffe Grand Prix do it, it's a certified classic (speaking as a Norwegian who watches it every 25th of December)

Oh I absolutely will! Yes I'm aware of the tradition in Norway I believe from before. It might be on YT somewhere!

The design is clean and pure. Silver is the best colour for it.

Christian is an admirable man. He's not exclusively revolving his brand around craftmanship but invests considerably in R&D and proprietary tech.

Love the car absolutely but the colours. Damn.

Jesko wheels don't suit it. It was better like this.

The car is an absolute jewel. It's the first egg with a design that I prefer over a Pagani. It makes me wish Porsche made a restomod of the Carrera GT.
