The Drive takes a trip to Koenigsegg’s incredible factory in Sweden to hang with Christian von Koenigsegg himself and learn the secret of how the hypercar company mastered its most crucial material: carbon fiber.
Though it’s common on high-end performance cars today, making everything from the chassis to intakes to wheels to body panels out of carbon fiber is still a complex and labor-intensive process. And the quality of the finished product depends entirely on how good a company is at developing it. Koenigsegg, as you might imagine, is among the best in the world.
We guarantee after watching this, you won’t look at carbon fiber the same.
