FYI: The Koenigsegg Regera, with its cutting-edge hybrid technology and luxurious customization options, is set to be a highlight at RM Sotheby’s annual Monterey auction.
The 2020 Koenigsegg Regera: A Masterpiece of Performance and Luxury
Unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the Koenigsegg Regera stands as the brand’s first hybrid vehicle, intended to complement the Agera by focusing on grand touring. The Regera showcases Koenigsegg’s expertise in lightweight construction, featuring a pre-impregnated carbon-fiber and aluminum honeycomb monocoque structure. One groundbreaking innovation introduced with the Regera is the Koenigsegg Direct Drive (KDD) transmission, which significantly reduces the weight and energy losses typically associated with hybrid systems.
Power and Innovation
Beneath its sleek exterior, the Regera packs a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine, coupled with three electric motors. This powerful combination yields a staggering 1,500 horsepower, enabling remarkable performance feats. In 2019, at Sweden’s Råda military airfield, the Regera set a record by completing a 0-400-0 km/h run in just 31.49 seconds.
