This video gives us a behind the scenes look at an innovative new [carbon fibre car design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-fiber-frame) called [Koenigsegg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megacar).

The creator, Christian Von Koenigsegg, hosts this video which is part of a nine part series. It was produced in Angelholm, Sweden and details the advantages of using carbon fibre in a car design. Koenigsegg points out that carbon fibre is useful because it is rigid and strong, while still remaining lightweight. This kind of material ensures the car can hold up to high performance manoeuvring while remaining light enough to travel high speeds.

These carbon fibre cars are the most carbon fibre intensive models in production anywhere in the world right now. This design uses over 400 [carbon fibre pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-fiber-mechanical-keyboard).
