Koenigsegg ESS - "Engage Shift System" The future of manuals. The ESS combines a 6-speed manual shifting experience, complete with a clutch pedal, with a fully automatic transmission with super-fast and frictionless shifting. The driver can choose their preferred experience and switch modes at any time. Using the manual shifter and clutch, the driver can feel an unparalleled connection with the car, experiencing every subtlety as the rubber meets the road. With the automatic mode engaged, the driver can sit back, relax, and enjoy seamless shifting and effortless performance. It is one of the many features that make the CC850 truly special. #Koenigsegg #CC850 #ESS
I remember totally falling in love with the original CC and CCX in the early 2000s when I saw them in a magazine. Everything about CC850 (especially that gearbox) is just magic.
Sports cars are about emotion and engagement, and the CC850 has it all. Bravo, Koenigsegg Automotive AB! Have a wonderful day, all!
The sound is incredible, perfection 😁
piece of art, both from engineering and aesthetic perspectives 😍
The Koenigsegg ESS is possibly the greatest automotive innovation of all time. Congratulations to the engineering team there. From the publicly available materials it truly appears to be the best of both worlds.
Can someone give a better explonstion how totally randomly shifting works here (other than the text under the video)?
client: “is it manual or auto?” christian k: “yes”
Does the shift lever move magically when in auto mode or is it placed in a different position? Watched the video again. Answered my own question 😄
And who said technology is there to ease our lives, it can also make our lives interesting.
Koenigsegg is always amazing!
