Shadowing Practice: I CANCELED MY KOENIGSEGG JESKO! - Learn English Speaking with Video

Well, the title's true.

I did cancel my Jesco order, but only to replace it with something that Quintusek came out, which is much better.

And Christian Quintusek was kind enough

and gracious enough to allow me to be one of the 30 owners of this exclusive masterpiece he's building.

The Seder Spears, 1625 horsepower, much bigger aero, and in my opinion, a lot more sexier.

For the longest time, I was going back

and forth between the absolute for like top speed

and the Jesko attack for the track and then

when I saw the Seder Spears at the Goodwood I'm like there's no option I gotta have it Actually,

no, it's Javier Castan this time.

But it's going to be close, but he's...

That's quick.

That goes up to the very top of the times.

47.14, so that has gone fastest now.

So in this configurator today, we're going to do two options of two different specs.

And then down below, you guys let me know what you guys think

or what color would you pick for your Slater Spears.

They don't make a configurator for Slater Spears.

It's 30 units, super exclusive limited.

So we're going to use the Jesco as an example.

and right off the bat, my top color was cherry red, which is called chill red in Koinisek color sample.

And this thing just looks incredible.

I like how it pops and I'm sure it will definitely stick out out of the collection.

I've never done anything wild when it comes to colors.

I've done either white or exposed carbon exterior and I think it's time to do something different.

This is really cool.

I love the configure because it takes you a total 360 on the car, even shows you the interior and as you're sitting on the track.

And what's really cool about it, you can actually go up on the control panel here and open the doors.

Wow, look at that.

Amazing.

It even allows you to remove the top.

Look at that.

Honestly, this is the best configurator I've seen with any automaker.

This is incredible.

Look at that.

And there's so many options.

So I opted for chill red, well, not yet, this example and then on the interior haven't done the interior yet

but let's finish the exterior first as you guys can see there's

so many options on the exterior you got obviously your exterior

color then you got center stripe a stripe position a stripe color fin position

and then carbon areas you can kind of paint them

or leave them exposed your options are very vast

which is going to add to the price the more options the more cost

so on this one here pen stripe i don't think we want to do let's see

so this is white and if I do obviously drag or red it's not gonna match

but let's just use the white for now there we go

and then a strike position I don't know on this one here on the front apex let's see what does

that look like so right now there's no color on there we can go ahead see

if it allows me to add one all right

so it comes in silver I think

if you're doing the center stripe you got to go all the way in

and do the front fan let's leave

that in there I like it on the sides let's close the doors so we can have a better view

and I'm gonna put the roof back on.

There we go.

Now you can see the full center stripe.

Now let's take a look at the sides.

There we go.

Aha, so this is the sides.

Definitely think it's a must.

Wow, that looks cool.

Now it completes the picture.

And then on the wing, let's see what else do we have.

I think that's it.

So this is one option to have the center stripe all the way from rear, all the way to the front.

Turn this around.

There we go.

What do you think?

I love this.

This is really cool, very racy.

So what you're making right now, that was the first thought when you saw the car.

Yeah, my first thought was cherry red or yellow.

Those are the two colors I'm opting for.

And I really like this red.

It just really pops, you know, with the carbon and the racing white stripe.

And I wanna see what is the fin position.

I think we got too many colors.

I don't know

if, what do you guys think? white on the fence you can see on the rear wing here

or just blend it in with red I'm kind of opting for red we got too much white going on

and then on the carbon area I'm thinking I'm going to leave the mirror as painted

because it does match the tip of the wing

and let's take a look on this side what are they

talking about here uh-huh yeah I think I'm just going to leave the rear intakes

as carbon or not probably not i think it looks cleaner

that way this way you only have carbon on the wing area

and the rear diffuser and the front diffuser and the side skirts i like it

i don't know reminds me of like a ford gt racing just very racing have you talked to the team

and have they told you that there's other options to the car

that are different from the jesco the normal jesco well you

know the design a specification on this obviously doesn't have the

gear shifter this one doesn't come with it it's just a paddle

and aside from that 25 more horsepower

but in terms of options really every option you have on

Jesco you can have it on say there's spears all the

colors interior exterior I don't think there is anything they can't do

that could do on a Jesco

that they can't do on say their spears as far as

I'm told let me see I think on the exterior we're

100

done you know we did the wheels I did carbon fiber wheels versus stock

101

which I I don't know who would pick stock on this car.

102

It just looks like mismatch, complete mismatch, but the carbon wheels are just, fits the picture perfectly.

103

And calibers, you know, we can go with only two colors.

104

They could do a custom bespoke.

105

For bespoke, definitely is gonna be a different type of spec.

106

You can do it on configurator.

107

You gotta send in paint samples, and it's gonna be off the grid.

108

And talk about paint samples.

109

They sent me a few, originally I was thinking about doing, You know, something more gold, pearl white, champagne, and this is off-white.

110

But I just think we need something more wild something

111

that pops more

112

so that's why i thought about you know going with the cherry red as my first option

113

and then we're gonna dive into the interior

114

because i think interior is just as exciting because it's got

115

so many different parts to the seats and dash

116

that you can kind of play around with different colors

117

and make this really really pop on the inside so down the interior let's see what we got here.

118

Interior color, unfortunately, they don't give you a lot of options on interior.

119

You got about 18 colors, 9 in leather and 9 in Alcantara.

120

But, you know, I was going to opt for a gray and red mixture.

121

Let me see what this is giving me here.

122

Okay, so this got the red steering wheel.

123

It's a little too much red.

124

So we want to do a little more Alcantara, but look at that.

125

I mean this thing, the quality of this configurator is bar none, incredible.

126

To the leather interior, so Alcantara, okay there we go.

127

By the way guys, I'm colorblind, so excuse me if I'm showing you blue, but I really think it's gray.

128

A little bit, yeah.

129

Yeah, my wife tells me, I don't know.

130

When we go shopping for clothing, you know, I always tend to buy black and I come home with navy blue.

131

All right, so this one,

132

we opted instead of having red steering wheel and accents or i guess the all interior it's showing me alcantara

133

let me see

134

if this actually this is a steering wheel okay we're gonna

135

go with alcantara dash trim definitely alcantara dashboard alcantara i just

136

feel like i don't know carbon's gonna have too much shine

137

so we'll do alcantara and then what do we got here stitching options definitely red that's got it really pop.

138

Now this is really cool.

139

It gives you two different types of stitching, French or French cross.

140

Hmm, let's see what does French cross look like.

141

All right, I can't really tell the difference, but I really love the red accents.

142

I think it looks really elegant.

143

Wow, look at even the headliner.

144

It's got a nice diamond cut stitching in red.

145

I think that, you know, because the outside is so wild, the inside should be more subtle and I like this.

146

Let me know what you guys think and let me see

147

if there's a better view there we go just picture heavier

148

arrow with this spec this looks sick let me see on a specification well definitely we're picking u.s market

149

so i guess that's it there's not much to go there

150

well that's the first spec that's my initial thought well let's move on to yellow

151

and see what you guys think of yellow i don't know i had two yellow carrier gts

152

and there's something about yellow maybe it runs in a persian culture Oh wow look at this one here yellow

153

but still leaving the accents red looks kind of like a toyish let's get rid of that.

154

You're possibly gonna do your believe in yellow.

155

Yeah right yeah yep that was one of my options.

156

I don't know I feel like with the yellow you can't

157

really do the pen stripe just it doesn't go unless you did all in black we can see both

158

but let me take a look on the sides yeah let me take everything off first

159

and see how it looks there we go I think this looks a lot more cleaner now.

160

Just yellow and black.

161

Wow.

162

I'm really loving this.

163

I don't know which one I love more, the yellow or the red.

164

Let me take a look at 360.

165

Oh.

166

I don't know, Nate, this is a tough choice.

167

Look at this.

168

Let's remove the doors.

169

I wanna see how it looks on convertible and remove the roof.

170

Man, I love this configurator.

171

Look at that.

172

Oh my God, this looks amazing.

173

Right now, are you leaning a little more towards one color than the other or?

174

I don't know, I'm starting to like this yellow more.

175

Oh, let me just quickly change the stitching of inside to yellow.

176

Just want to see how it looks.

177

It only has gold, doesn't have yellow.

178

Let's try gold and see what that looks like.

179

How does that look?

180

Oh, actually looks good.

181

Oh, let's take a look.

182

Not bad.

183

I don't know.

184

I'm starting to like this more.

185

I feel like the red is a little too busy with the white pen stripe.

186

This is clean.

187

Of course, I gotta pick the right yellow because there are some yellows that, you know, I like a deep yellow, kind of like canary yellow.

188

It's too light.

189

Something a little bit more heavy, like a bison yellow. But anyhow.

190

So I know you canceled the Justo Absolute and the ATT&CK.

191

I was wondering, did you have a spec in mind for those?

192

Yeah, it was the same spec.

193

Yeah, well they're ideally, you know, same car, just a heavier aero with a sailor spear, a little more horsepower, but what's cool,

194

I do like the gear shift missing.

195

I think it's just gonna look more refined, but I think the cool part of this car is going to be the rear.

196

So the rear of this car is gonna be like the absolute rear end

197

with the huge wing bigger than the Jesco ATT&CK.

198

So I think the combination of the refinement of the rear

199

with the bigger wing of the Jesco ATT&CK is like the two-in-one almost.

200

So I'm getting two cars for price on one.

201

There will be work in progress before I finalize my spec, but I wanted to share this first session, this great exciting news.

202

There's a Seder Spears coming in 2026, and I'd love to get your feedback on colors, spec, would be covered and what else do you think should be a consideration

203

so with that's it hope you guys enjoyed it be safe be well and see you on the next one

204

Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
