koenigsegg makes cars so expensive in numbers so small that they arent relevant to even fairly wealthy people, so its a bit like discussing nasa's latest advances instead of cars that can actually be bought.

did koenigsegg do something cool? sure. theres about 100-200 people who dont work at koenigseff whose life that will affect and nobody else. theyre pretty irrelevent.

Things like dual clutch gearboxes seem to an example of something that originated in exotic cars and have made the transition to low end cars.

I have a very humble Skoda with DSG and it works really well even though it has a 1L engine :-)

Dual clutch gearboxes are kind of on their way out already, no?

Electric cars don't have gearboxes at all, and electric cars are "what's coming next/the future", no?

I was merely providing an example of where a technology has "trickled down" from exotics to run of the mill cars.

Koenigsegg does innovate a lot in manufacturing car parts for their hypercars, if you watched Christian von Koenigsegg speak about the engineering they do its really impressive.

In some alternate universe CVK is making cars that compete with Tesla and are better. Although they make amazing products i wish he and his team of brilliant engineers would work on inexpensive cars, im almost certain they could innovate in the space.

They are making a "cheap" car. Maybe only the price of a house rather than a yacht.
