Koenigsegg kindly let us know that will launch a new model called the Regera in Geneva Motor Show a few days ago. Now the Swedish company released some more info on what to expect.
We heard a lot of speculations on what might this new Regera be like over the last few days but none of them was even close to the truth. The next model in Koenigsegg’s short history will be a hybrid ‘megacar’, packing 700hp from its electric motors and featuring a 9kWh liquid cooled battery pack. Stare at the void for a moment and imagine the kick from all this electric torque.
Regera is Swedish for “to reign” and according to the short statement released on their facebook page, the new megacar will have an unprecedented “combination of power, responsiveness and luxury”, meaning that this Koenigsegg will offer some more comfort to the passengers than the other insane cars we’ve seen from them. “With the introduction of the Regera, Koenigsegg will, for the first time ever, have two parallel models in production.”
Koenigsegg also promises that the new Regera will be “relative lightweight”, performing competitively around a track and according to them “the only challenger around a track that could be faster, is another Koenigsegg”.
With Koenigsegg saying that the Regera is a megacar, and knowing that the term was used by them only for the lunatic One:1, we expect the total output to reach at least 1360hp or one megawatt.
So apart from the Agera RS that will supposedly blow our minds, now we are also expecting Koenigsegg’s interpretation of a hybrid hypercar.
“The Regera will reign as the king of the road, as the fastest accelerating, most powerful production car ever.” Fun times for supercar lovers.
