Koenigsegg brought a pair of Regeras to the Geneva
Motor Show and more specifically, the first two production examples of the
hybrid hypercar.
Powered by an innovative hybrid powertrain, the
Koenigsegg Regera produces a combined output of 1,500 hp thanks to a clever
combination of the twin-turbo 5.0-litre V8 with three electric
motors.
The whole powertrain is cooperating with a 800-volt
electrical system and uses what Koenigsegg calls Direct Drive, which basically
allows the engine and the motors drive directly the rear axle with a fixed
final ratio, rendering obsolete the use of a traditional gearbox.
One example is finished in green
on a brown leather interior and the carbon Tresex wheels featuring the
company’s latest gold option. The other Regera is finished in candy apple red
with a clear carbon center section and candy apple red hood stripe. As with all
Koenigseggs, the Regera also comes with a detachable hardtop that can be stored
under the front hood as standard.
