Inside Koenigsegg provides for the first time, a look behind the scenes at Koenigsegg and examine how innovation within the highest echelon of sports car manufacturers will affect the broader automotive world. Company founder and principal, Christian Von Koenigsegg, hosts this nine-part series, which was produced at Koenigsegg headquarters in Angelholm, Sweden.

In the eighth episode, Christian Von Koenigsegg reveals the design and development of the bespoke 1140 hp v8 engine that powers the Agera R hypercar.

 Our latest car, The gear are built in the old hangers of a former Swedish fighter gets quarter. Their symbol. A ghost is now proudly painted on the back of every car.

 Koenigsegg engine, it's a very compact engine, will only waste 198kg, very light and will scavenge at high G forces in cornering, so make sure the engine is always lubricated.

 Developing our own engine, chassis and transmission and rear suspension from the engine itself, instead of using rubber mounted gearbox on engine. This allows us to utilise inherent stiffness of the parts as chassis members.

 We developed the hardware and software for our engine management system in house. Also for transmission. Very flexible and easy to test new ideas. No bureaucracy. Just from one day to another.

 When you want to be green with a hypercar, you also have to make sure you get a bonus in something else, like performance, because only being greedy kind, not good enough.

 Developing hyper technology, it will eventually trickle down to normal sized cars, with a 1.3 litre engine, really amazing things will happen in terms of efficiency, weight and size reduction.

 built a car as good as we could, then put it on a test car, driving up and down on the airfield to see how far can we push it, what will break? And when we found a weak spot.
