The Koenigsegg Regera is the world’s most powerful hybrid hypercar, and the company’s founder, Chirstian von Koenigsegg,explains what makes it a technological masterpiece.
When it comes to exotic hypercars, the 1,500 hp and 2,000 Nm of torque Regera is on top of the food chain, and thanks to its “direct drive” electric transmission it does 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 2.8 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h (124mph) in 6.6 seconds, and it takes 10.9 seconds to pass 300 km/h (186mph).
Even though it’s performance is electrically aided, the Swedish company’s owner doesn’t like to call it a hybrid; not in a traditional sense, at least.
As opposed to the Agera, the Regera was designed to be as luxurious as a Koenigsegg can be, featuring many creature comforts. Besides the available, fully-robotized body panels, it also comes with a touchscreen display, electric seats, an improved camera system, and over 30 microprocessors (each functioning individually for a function) that let the car maker control them via 3G.
But don’t think for a second it won’t perform on the track, because according to Mr. Koenigsegg, the only car faster than the Regera, will be another Koenigsegg.
Although the car presented in the video is the prototype variant unveiled at Geneva, the production-spec Regera doesn’t stray too far from it, although it has a lot more carbon fiber in its construction.
