Dude this is like sitting down Enzo Ferrari, Ferruccio Lamborghini and Ferdinand Porsche on the same table. EPIC

I love how Christian von Koenigsegg's kid is a JDM fan, meanwhile his dad designs some of the most advanced road cars in history 😂

I could listen to Christian von Koenigsegg all day. Such a down to earth guy who can explain complex concepts with such eloquence and lucidity.

The best part of them is how humble they all are despite reaching such heights in their careers, especially Gordon.

I'd love these guys to do a filmed track day and drive each other cars....Maybe the best idea I've had all month... You're welcome TG

This is probably the best ( car related) video of the last 10 years. Thank you top gear.

Christian von Koenigsegg is a true automotive genius. When he speaks, he is able to convey his points in a way that the layperson can still understand

It’s so precious how Christian, CEO behind one the most insane hypercar companies of all time, still drives an old Mazda Miata.

Christian gives me such good vibes. Clearly a highly intelligent man who knows himself and his purpose very deeply. Would love to work for a person like him.

This sit down is incredible, this is the modern equivalent of having Enzo Ferrari, Ferruccio Lamborghini, Caroll Shelby, and Ferdinand Porsche

They are all no doubt incredible engineers who make some truly inspiring cars, but Sir Murray is in a league of his own. Truly a living legend.

"The ultimate freedom tool on planet Earth" - these finishing words of Mr. Koenigsegg resonated with me the most. So true!

When 55 minutes feels like 5 minutes, you know you can’t ever get enough of this show. Nothing but passion.

When Gordon Said „… it did 240 and I think that’s still the NA record…” and Christian said “yeah it is” in an excited manner Man that send shivers down my spine I mean seeing Christian van koenigsegg “fanboying” to Gordon seems so unreal but is so geniuine Awesome interview!

As a Serbian I am very proud of Mate presentation here. Great enthusiasm, passion, friendliness. Man, people have no idea how much effort it takes to lift yourself to such business mindset if grow up in Balkans.

This is the best content that Top Gear has given us since Clarkson, Hammond and May.

[Everyone introduces themselves whilst Stig patiently waits for his turn] [Jack skips Stig] You've made a powerful enemy today Jack.

The only missing part is Horacio Pagani in this video. An absolute joy to watch those people together.

Christian von Koenigsegg and Mate Rimac are having the same ambitions and to see the two people sit in one room is amazing . I bet Mate was super happy to hear some of thoose stories of thoose car making legends.

The fact that FOUR guys with allegedly busy schedules coming from all different areas of the planet to meet and have an in person conversation rather than a zoom meeting per se, says a lot about their dedication to their work.

Literally the greatest Top Gear video since Clarkson and Co left years ago…. To have these 4 legends on one video talking about their passion and the car industry is epic. Imagine all 4 coming together to make a car as a joint project 🤤

Easy to see the overwhelming respect everyone has for Gordon

I can't stop thinking how these guys were able to pull up some time in their already crazy agendas to just sit down and chat. This is just outstanding!

This has got to be one of the best interviews I’ve ever watched. It is so amazing to hear real life relatable experiences and thoughts, from these inspirational car engineers/enthusiasts, that created many of the record breaking cars today.

I can see myself rewatching this video in 20 years and thinking how lucky is this guy having the chance to interview 4 of the biggest car company founders of our time.... It's like having Enzo Ferrari, Mr Lamborghini etc together in a room....

We are so proud of Mate. Croatia has nothing to do with the automobile industry. But Rimac is growing and growing!

What an incredible opportunity to see these brilliant minds all on one stage and talking about their past, struggles, and future. One of the best YT videos I've watched in a while. Thank you.

They are all very intelligent and humble people. Great conversation, 10/10, would watch again for another episode.

No one can beat Gordon Murray's CV tho. He's literally a living legend

I love that Gordon could be everyone's dad.

I actually never thought I'd see the day that we would get to see such a discussion from the giants in the hyper car industry. Amazing stuff.

Biggest respect to the guy who is standing still for over 1h dressed as the STIG. - Some poor intern.

Not the collaboration that we deserved, but the one that we needed

TG. Congrats on having such incredible guests on one panel. It can't have been easy to arrange.

Well i was tuned into this from start to finish. Just listening to these guys talk about their achievement and the blood sweat and tears they put in to get to this point just makes you appreciate and respect them even more.

The line Christian said at the end "It's the ultimate freedom machine". It's so true in every way. That's my fascination with cars too 😁

Christian Koenigsegg is a real gentlemen and his answers impressed me and taught me the most. The whole panel is amazing

Gordon Murray delivering a Masterclass 🔥🪄

I love how realistic, passionate, and positive this group is

Most logical and grounded conversation I've seen in a while and they went over some very controversial ideas. Huge respect for these guys already but it keeps going up.

These guys and Horacio Pagani are just living enthusiasts legends

I love how the stig is just standing silently behind all of them as the bartender Edit: my god, guys thx a lot for the likes

42:32 Such an important quote by Christian, couldn't agree more. Hopefully the enthusiast will still have combustion engines in a sustainable future 🙌🏼

As someone who works in the industry and has a real interest in both electric cars and combustion cars, it’s both heartening and interesting to hear my opinions shared by both Christian and Mate. I think what they say about the next 10-15 years is absolutely spot on. A fascinating 55 min panel interview. Well done TG for organising it. Sympathies to the poor guy stood in the race suit as the Stig for an hour

This is probably the greatest car video ever not to feature a car. Well done TG, a truly incredible group of people to get together! 👏

This whole convesation is so awesome, thanks to all this inspiring people and top gear to bring this great guys togheter! Please more of this!!

This was excellent. All really good questions and great discussion about the the cars we all love.

The fact that Koenigsegg jumps into his Miata every summer week for pleasure is such a strong vote of validation for how great Miatas are. Makes me a little prouder to have one (but a little ashamed that I’m irrational enough to want to own it forever).

Stig is the epitome of patience. Wished you could involve him in any act.

What an awesome chat. All 4 are legends, although I do hold a specific fascination for Christian. The way he thinks and carries himself is absolutely inspiring to me.Great vid, thank you TG team

I’m not trying to boast, but I do consider myself incredibly lucky to own at least one car from each of these amazing people. Take that with a grain of salt and don’t be too jealous… I have devoted many hours to earning them in Forza Horizon 5. Lol

Just seeing these four legends willing to sit together to have a discussion is a huge pleasure for the fans

Gordon represents the greatest decades of formula 1. Truly, a living legend!

Good stuff TG! Awesome video, many thanks to you and these guys for this sit down❤ Such a sit down would be great also with F1 bosses(former and current), rally bosses, and major manufacturers.

I truly enjoyed listening to these great leaders. All of them have very interesting backgrounds, stories, and perspectives that are inspiring. Mate appears to be such a humble genius. Learned that in addition making and selling the Rimac Nevera & Time Attack Hypercars, he is a supplier of Electric Drive Trains, Infotainment systems, Battery Packs, and components to the OEMs through his Rimac Technology Division. I can see his technology becoming accessible to many car manufactures one day.

This video deserves millions if not billions of views. Just to see some of the greatest Hypercar names, if not the 4 greatest Hypercar names it's just inspiring and outstanding. This is the collaboration that we wanted, needed and deserved. Imagine these four guys running the world's largest Hypercar business combining their ideas into technological, powerful and fast pieces of modern art.

I haven't watched TG since the gang left. But this practically brought me to tears. These guys are the pinnacle right now. It seems funny to me how Hennessy is not so excited about electric, but daily drives a Tesla. Also funny that they all have Tesla's. Lol

This sit down is amazing thanks to everyone at top gear who made this happen

They are actually rival in auto industry, but during the interview they supportive to each other like truly car enthusiast, also as engineer❤

Props to The Stig for standing there silently for an hour

I don’t know how I’ve missed this video for 3 weeks, but I couldn’t think of a better group of people to sit down and get insight from. Icons that I’ve looked up to for years now. I could listen to their conversations for days on end.

Phenomenal Top Gear - one of the best ideas Ive seen on You Tube. That room, those men - outstanding viewing!

It's great to hear their perspectives. I love the balance between accepting reality but not letting it limit dreaming about what's possible.

Tbh Rimac founder is a very charismatic guy. I don't like electric cars, and I'm afraid of Bugatti being eletric. But I've got to be honest, he is truly a very interesting guy. He talking about his failures was good to hear, in a very inspiring way. Now I really like this guy background and determination. Incredible vídeo, probably one of the best of car legends at all.

It's super encouraging that Mate Rimac is a true petrolhead. Bugatti is in good hands.

Man I love this, all great personalities and legends of my generation. I just wish we would still have a proper carshow like TopGear to show these amazing cars in a manner that everyone would want to tune in and watch.

A dude who sets fast records and a dude who beats that record and then a dude who exists only to beat their records and then an old dude who actually started this. What a great conversation big thanks to Top gear.

53:00 The ultimate tool of freedom, beautifully said by Christian von Koenigsegg. This is what keeps us, car enthusiasts going for cars over any other modes of travel, or at least why I choose cars

What I admire most about Gordon Murray is his fanatical attention to detail. Every component of his vehicles there a reasoning and story which accompanies it. This is often claimed about supposedly visionary CEOs, but is more often than not a hollow cliche. Absolutely love his choice of Lotus Elan series 3 because it has the best steering feel of any car he’s ever driven.

More group conversations like this please!

mate is a genuine guy so humble and he is excited you can see it.

Topic discussions with timestamps: 04:14 = Can an EV ever be more exciting to drive than a combustion engine car? And if so, how do we get there? 12:50 = What is the future of top speed and performance figures? Does anyone want or need to go faster than 300mph? And what will be the true measure of performance in the future? 18:55 = Gordon Murray talking about the top speed and performance figures topic 21:04 = How important is failure? And what's been your biggest failure? 33:41 = Elon Musk - what are your thoughts on the man? Is he a good or bad thing for the car industry? 42:32 = Side topic of general electrification for cars and ownership of cars 45:02 = You've got one last tank of fuel on Earth or one battery of electricity, if you prefer. What car you putting it in and where are you going to drive it? 49:02 = What is your personal inspiration?

I love how Gordon Murray said he only had 3 jobs while holding up 4 fingers 😂

Briefly met Mate in Montreal just before the Canadian Grand Prix - my son saw a Nevera pass by a couple of blocks up and we chased it down as we knew it would be caught in traffic. He was kind enough to roll the window down for a quick chat before silently rolling off... Epic moment my son will not forget. That said - he definitely has an emotional connection with the sound of an ICE because he has grown up with higher powered RWD noisy BMW's around.

The only downside to this video, is that it was only a hour long. Absolutely brilliant set up and variation of guests. Would love to see more of these.👏👏👏

This is a historic event that will be watched 80 years later and even more...special history thanks guys

This was phenomenal. Thank you! Shout out to Stig just standing there near motionless for the entire time.

Brilliant video and fun interview! Well done! Cheers, Eric

I like how Murray's got that look on his face like " if only you kids knew..." ; honestly these guys need to build a car together. One masterpiece for the History books.

This is AMAZING: Imagine if back in the day we had this with Enzo, Feruccio, Bruce, and Ferdinand 🤩 what a JOY to listen to this

An hour long video, of which you do not really know what to expect from, turns out to be so fascinating to keep you completely hooked, only for the ending screen of the video to bring you back into reality an hour later. Great stuff!

Its just awesome to see all of these creators of some of the fastest production cars in the planet just sitting down and talking happily, rather than angrily feuding

Dude can we give props to the host for not interfering and letting them take control of the conversation. Well done man rare to see people not make everything about themselves these days.

55 minutes with these guys, certainly worth the price of admission. Well done.

Whoever pulled this off deserves a promotion. Fantastic video.

What a classy fruitful discussion with such legends & car enthusiasts 🙌🏼

(Long essay incoming) When Gordon Murray mentioned about how a generation of people might grow up only ever knowing EVs eventually and enjoying them, it reminded me of my own experience with cars when I was younger, particularly BMWs. I grew up during the Chris Bangle era of BMWs, and I loved it to bits! I loved how simple and elegant the 3 Series of the time looked, the 5 Series with the swoopy wing-like headlights, the curvy front end of a 6 Series, etc etc When I grew older and watched clips of car shows airing during the time where those cars were new, that's when I found out how hated those designs were. People were very critical, with some saying it was either boring, ugly, a traitorous departure from traditional BMW design, or all 3 of those things. But to me, the Bangle-era BMW was the BMW I came to recognize first, and it was the BMW design language I loved. As far as I was concerned, that design language was and always will be quintessentially BMW. They may have lost some older fans, but they gained a whole generation of new ones who fell in love with the new design direction and made that generation into people who liked cars, whether it'd be for the drive, the design, or the tech & engineering, or all of those things. Now I'm on the other end of the fence, with the gigantic kidney grills on the new M4, iX, etc. I'm not a gigantic fan of it, in fact imo I think it's pretty ugly. This is probably how older BMW fans felt when the Bangle BMWs came out. But while I don't like it, there's a kid out there who's growing up and loves that design to bits and is gonna be a car guy when they grow up the same way I did. People are gonna say he or she's gonna miss out on the "good old days" , but people said the same thing during my time with BMW and I turned out to love cars still. Maybe I love things in a different way than car guys that came before me, but I love cars all the same, and the new generation of car enthusiasts are gonna go through the same experience too. I might not like what they like, hell I might hate it even, but I guess that, like Gordon Murray mentioned, is a generational thing. If you have fun with things that I personally don't, more power to you! We're allowed to like different things. I hope the younger generation has lots of fun with cars the same way I did, even if our ideas of what's fun are worlds apart. If it feels exciting for you, whether it's with EVs, hydrogen power, net-zero co2 synthetic fuel, or some other new form of alternative fuel we haven't even made yet, then my best wishes go to you and hope you keep enjoying it 👍🏻

Best automotive panel ever. Also shows how humanity has evolved in the last 50 years as such a sit down wouldn't have been possible with Ferrari, Chapman, Shelby, Porsche/Piech et al back in the day.

Hennessey & Koenigsegg will always be part of my childhood.

This interview is pure gold. Thank you

If Horacio too was there, it would've completed the legends circle

Living legends including 34 year old Mate Rimac. Well done TG!

4 brilliant minds in one place. Brainstorm I didn't knew I needed till I've seen one. Cheers for all the contributions to the motorcar world fellas.

"You learn soooo much more from your mistakes than you do from doing things correctly" THANK YOU!

What an incredible interview with great minds. I LOVE Christian von Koenigsegg perspective on pushing the industry to better fuel sources - A brilliant man with a global problem-solving approach for the entire industry. And to you as the host and Togpear Thanks!!!

So much automotive creative talent in one meeting, once in a lifetime experience for all involved. Must be the media event of 2023, Thanks Top Gear

The brilliance and intellect in that room is insane

Best clip re: anything auto discussion I’ve seen in a long long time. Hats off.

I completely understand what Murray was explaining when he was talking about the 15 wins out 16 races in a season, and how that loss was an important in it's own way. One year when I played in youth league soccer, I was on a team that just dominated every other team for the entire season. I don't remember how many matches we played that year but I remember that the only match we lost was the 2nd to last match of the season. When I say dominated it's not an understatement. We were winning matches 7-nil, 9-1, 5-nil etc. We lost 3-1 and it was because of 2 contributing factors; 1st our opponents came ready to play and 2nd we didn't have our heads in the game until we were down 2-nil at 1/2. By the time we refocused ourselves it was too late, the other team had the momentum and they were driven by their success. Losing that match helped to serve as a reminder that we were good but being good is not enough if we weren't mentally in it. Having won the league we went to the regional playoffs and made it to the championship match, which was the farthest a team from our league ever made it. I have a feeling had we not lost that match during the season that we wouldn't have made it nearly as far as we did post season.

Amazing!! Loved every second of it TG, thank you. Now, a Part 2 is in order with Adrian Newey, Horacio Pagani, Ian Callum and Ross Brawn. Please make it happen.
