Viewing tip: Christian von Koenigsegg, Gordon Murray, Mate Rimac and John Hennessey interview

Hypercar builders

Ask in a pub who the best soccer player in the world is and a heated discussion is bound to ensue. You can hardly compare Cruijff, Pele, Maradona as well as Messi and Ronaldo. The first three still played in the black-and-white era. It’s also hard to pinpoint the best hypercar builder in the world. A Koenigsegg Jesko, McLaren F1, Hennessey Venom and Rimac Nevera are completely different cars. A Nevera laughs at the 0-100 time of a McLaren F1. Yet Gordon Murray’s creation is still considered the ultimate hypercar.

A pleasant conversation

Top Gear Magazine brought together Christian von Koenigsegg, Gordon Murray, Mate Rimac and John Hennessey to discuss their creations, how they got started and the hypercar world in general. Interviewer Jack Rix pushed himself as far into the background as possible to avoid a tight and businesslike interview. The conversation, which you can watch below, gives us a special insight into a world that you as a normal mortal would never have access to.
