No one else enjoy it? I thought the stuff on their engineering was fascinating.

yeah I watched it a few days ago. the sheer talent and passion that goes into these smaller firms like Koenigsegg and Pagani to name a few is fantastic.

The door hinge was what impressed me the most. Everyone told him you can't make the door work in a single motion so he spent hours and hours designing a special hinge; and what a work of art it is.

I found it fascinating. He's clearly very passionate and there is something Chapman-esque about the way every discussion about a technology featured a subtext about the weight impact on the car.
I have a hankering, if ever there was a lotto win to put money behind it, to birth a TVR style company but with more-Koenigsegg style engineering than CCC/PPC.
One thing I would love to know, how does a 23 year old get the money behind him to start it. Wikipedia is very scant on his family background.

Awesome car that is top of my list if win lottery! I just love the detail engineering involved I was amazed how much engineering is done in house for such a young car company! to set the company up like that from scratch take HUGH money! I love his passion for engineering lightness and detail in the car! Very chapman in idea and passion for motering, just wish I had enough cash to buy a car. Would love them to do a version around 80k but with the amount of hand crafting they do and lack of mass production I think it would be impossible, shame!
Hats of to them!

What a brilliant little documentary. Christians attitude is brilliant and he makes a great product. I was stunned at how he can slam all on at 190mph and the car will brake straight and true with no steering input  The ending was a very fitting one, to be honest I went a bit tingly. Thanks for sharing.
