This is the Kimera K39 – and it’s powered by a 1000hp Koenigsegg V8! Yes, you read that right: Kimera, known for its epic Lancia restomods, has teamed up with Koengisegg, Sweden’s hypercar royalty. It’s no restomod either, rather Kimera’s first production car, as the K39 has a bespoke carbonfibre chassis – and alongside the road car, Kimera is targeting the Pikes Peak Hill Climb with an even wilder racing version. All that goodness, plus modern-day Ferrari F40 vibes! 🚗 Kimera K39 🎤 Jack Rix 🎥 Subscribe to Top Gear YouTube: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear ⏪ Subscribe to Top Gear Classic YouTube: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear 📖 Subscribe to Top Gear Magazine: https://top-gear.visitlink.me/YeyndO 🎧 Top Gear Magazine Podcast: https://topgear.podlink.to/Podcast ✉️ Top Gear Newsletter: https://www.topgear.com/newsletter-signup 🛍️ Top Gear Shop: https://www.topgear.com/shop Follow Top Gear ⬇️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/topgear/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/topgear TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@topgear X/Twitter: https://x.com/BBC_TopGear This is a commercial channel from BBC Studios.

My God, that car is drop dead gorgeous
Cyberpunk Lancia 037
Looks like an F40 had a one night stand with a Lancia Delta Integrale. And I love it.
This might be my favorite car to come out in a very long time
Is Kimera x Koenigsegg the best engine collab ever?
“Only 1000horsepower” 😂😂 What a time to be alive
Are you watching this Ferrari? What a work of art the Kimera is❤
What a work of art.. absolutely beautiful
What a beast. And probably the best cooperation of two automotive companies in this century. That thing will be the new holy grail. Change my mind!
Those bmw styled angel eyes headlights.. i just can't get enough of it.
This is a rare example of retro design modern refresh done right!
Stellantis needs to let someone who actually cares about Lancia buy that company so more stuff like this can be built. Lancia deserves far better than their current fate.
That is what makes the Industry go forward !! its amazing
The style is so nice, easy to watch till the end
Finally! Someone gets it! No big screens! No v6! No hybrid assist! No flappy paddle gearbox!
1 company that understand how to do it. That's a show stopper right there. And a timeless piece. Absolutely breathtaking.
My God, that car is drop dead gorgeous ..
4:50 the f40 resemblance is uncanny from all angles!
god damn, one of the most beautiful cars ever made
That’s the most beautiful car I’ve seen in a while
