Drive is a channel by YouTube  that is all about the culture of cars, and its most recent episode they released is part 1 of 9  about Swedish hypercar manufacturer Koenigsegg.  If you haven’t heard the name before, their latest beast is an 1,140 hp one with a top speed of about 273 mph called the Agera R:
Aside from being just absolute performance machine, the car is made with a ton of carbon fiber…in fact, there are over 400 different carbon fiber pieces in this car. Â In episode 1 of this series from, they head to the Koenigsegg factory in Sweden and have CEO Christian Von Koenigsegg give us some insider info on carbon fiber being used in the car. Â Not only that but there is a ton of more general carbon fiber information that Koenigsegg discusses. Â You’ll not only get a much better understanding of the “black art” of carbon fiber, but also everything that goes into making a carbon fiber part starting from the mold. Â Not many people understand why some of the products that we write about and sell are so expensive, and if you find yourself in that bucket, I think you’ll have a much better understanding after watching this.
Normally when we watch these “behind the scenes” videos, there is a general overview of carbon fiber usage, but this goes very in-depth and we highly recommend watching if you find yourself perusing our site:
