Koenigsegg Regera


The Koenigsegg Regera is a limited production, plug-in hybrid sports car manufactured by Swedish high-performance sports carmaker Koenigsegg. It was unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The name Regera is a Swedish verb, meaning "to reign" or "to rule." Only 80 units will be built, all of which have already been sold, each costing approximately US$1.9 million. The Regera was created and designed to be a more practical, luxurious, hypercar alternative to the rest of Koenigsegg's lightweight hypercar lineup, including the Agera RS and the One:1. Koenigsegg states that the Regera will be the most powerful and fastest accelerating production car ever. The production of the Regera will result in Koenigsegg, for the first time ever, simultaneously having two models in production.

The Regera produces a reported total of 1,822 PS (1,340 kW; 1,797 hp) through a hybrid powertrain. As in general, the Regera's internal combustion engine (ICE) produces its greatest power only at high RPMs; however, due to the fixed gear, this corresponds to very high speeds. Power at low speeds is filled in by the electric motors, giving a maximum combined mechanical output of 1,500 PS (1,100 kW; 1,500 hp) and 2,000 N�m (1,475 lb�ft) of torque. The ICE is a mid-rear mounted, in-house developed, twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a 5.0-litre capacity. It produces 820 kW (1,115 PS; 1,100 hp) at 7,800 rpm and 1,280 N�m (944 lb�ft) at 4,100 rpm. It works in conjunction with three YASA electric motors with a total capacity of 520 kW (707 PS; 697 hp) and 900 N�m (664 lb�ft) of torque. One 215 hp (160 kW; 218 PS) electric motor-generator on the crankshaft acts as starter and generator and supplies torque fill; and two 241 hp (180 kW) wheel-shaft mounted electric motors drive each rear wheel and provide torque vectoring. The electric motors are powered by a 4.5-kWh, 800-volt, 75-kg liquid cooled battery pack developed by Rimac Automobili, making it the first 800-volt production car. Koenigsegg claims that the battery pack is the most power-dense battery pack ever created for a production car.

The car has a claimed, electronically limited top speed of 410 km/h (255 mph), is capable of reaching 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.7 seconds, 300 km/h (186 mph) in 10.9 seconds, and a speed of 400 km/h (249 mph) in 20 seconds. Koenigsegg also claims that the acceleration from 150 to 250 km/h (from 93 to 155 mph) requires 3.9 seconds.

Koenigsegg Regera has a power to weight ratio of 0.69 kW (0.93 hp) per kilogram.

The bristles hundred 3.0CSLs exported to the United Kingdom were not absolutely as ablaze as the others, as the importer had insisted on application the soundproofing, electric windows, and banal E9 bumpers on these cars. Initially application the aforementioned agent as the 3.0CS, the 3.0CSL was accustomed a actual baby access in displacement to 3,003 cc (183.3 cu in) by accretion the agent bore by one division of a millimetre.
