While you got a chance to learn about Koenigsegg’s maddest creation yet a little earlier, information about the Regera keeps coming up.
Koenigsegg tells us that the Regera is the first car that “operates all body closures completely automatically” with doors, engine cover and luggage compartment to be controlled by a remote or a smartphone, adding points to the whole drama-effect of the car.
The other thing we learned is that the Regera has a feature called Battery Drain Mode (BDM). Since this new hybrid monster has a plug-in capability with a 65km-40 miles range on electricity only, Koenigsegg added this mode which allows for the battery to be completely drained upon arrival to a charging point, when its location is saved on the GPS.
The titanium exhaust system was jointly developed with Akrapovic and includes a “fish-tail” outlet. The batteries were manufactured together with Mate Rimac and his engineering team, and the result is the most power-dense battery pack ever created for a road car with 9,27kWh of energy, 67 litres of volume and 115kg total weight. The whole battery pack is actively cooled by external radiators. Dry weight is rated at 1420kg and if you include all the liquids and a full tank of fuel the figure remains mighty impressive at 1628kg.
The acceleration from 150km/h to 250km/h (93mph to 155mph) takes just 3.2(!) seconds. The combined output is ranked at “over 1500Bhp” (1520hp) and “over 2000Nm” (1475 lb.ft) of torque.
Shmee150 has already posted the first video footage of the car, so take a look and tell us your opinion.
Koenigsegg has not released any info concerning the top speed but something tells us that the Regera will smash easily all the previous records.
