Koenigsegg developed this gearbox / transmission for Jesko. It hypercar able to produce 1600hp just from 5.0 liter V8 engine. It also has 9 gears and 1 reverse, and Engine also doesn't have flywheel. The gearbox along with differential weighs only about 90 kg which is marvelous considering it can transmit that much power and has so many gears. Without use of any special materials this was achieved just by using clever Mechanics, by using principal of gear compounding. The video explains it in detail.

Koenigsegg: "We found a way to completely get rid of the transmission with Regera." Also Koenigsegg: "But we also made the best transmission in the world for a good measure."

Didn't expect much from this video however it turned out to be a good and intuitive explanation. Thanks

Seriously, looking past the accent, which I had no problem understanding, your video was awesome and insanely intuitive. I’ve never seen a video which simplified the explanation of a transmission to this degree, but the credit also goes to Christian and his team for developing an extraordinarily complex yet simple transmission. You definitely have a subscribe from me good sir, please bring me more koenigsegg content 🙏🏽

Automatic transmissions have been doing this "ratio compounding" for a few years, but this clutch arrangement per gear is amazing! This looks really expensive! Christian and team are amazing!

I remember Christian said that they made the gearbox by adapting gear in bicycle. faster speed ratio smaller the gear thus reduce weight. absolute genius

Wow! Your explanation was very helpful, as to understand how Christian got at 9 gears plus make it smaller and lighter. Thanks ah million. 👍🏾

😊Well I am not a native English speaker, that's why it's difficult for some of you to understand my accent. The video is being seen in 70+ countries, so I can understand each one of you is familiar with different accent. I will try to improve mine, so that's easier for you to understand. Kilos is more mainstream than KGs is what I have understood from some comments, will remember it for next time. Hope you like the content, as that's what I focused the most. Do let me know your thoughts.
