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.

Ferrari 288 GTO

The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO) is an alien homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 through 1986, appointed GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologato (homologation in Italian). Insurance Auto The Ferrari GTO sports car was the first to attempt in the fresh Group B Race alternation and a minimum of 200 cars were appropriate for homologation. However as alone Ferrari and Porsche, with their 959, entered, the alternation was anon alone abrogation aloof Group B Rally championship. The Porsche 959 (as the Porsche 961) alone raced three times in Group B, but the 288 GTO never raced and all 272 cars congenital remained absolutely alley cars.

Yamaha OX99-11

The 'Yamaha OX99-11' V12 was a sports car designed by Yamaha's subsidiary Ypsilon Technology and IAD, an English engineering consultancy, which was supposed to enter production in 1994. Yamaha began competing in Formula One as an engine supplier in 1989, and using the experience it had gained during that time it wanted to build a price-no-object car based on actual Formula One technology. Even though the Formula One project was doing poorly in competition, by 1991 the team had just produced a new engine, the OX99, and approached a German company to design an initial version of the car. Yamaha was not pleased with the result as it was too similar to sport cars of that time, so it contacted IAD to continue working on the project. By the beginning of 1992, just under 12 months after starting to work on the project, IAD came with an initial version of the car. The car's design was undertaken by Takuya Yura, and was originally conceived as a single seater. However Yamaha req...

Vauxhall GTC Paris

At 4.46 metres, the Vauxhall GTC Paris Abstraction offers abounding amplitude for bristles people, yet still maintains a graceful and antic appearance. Adams' aggregation has maximised 'tension' in the architecture by attached the bulk of curve in the car's profile, and abrogation the consequence that the car's highlights and surfacing are 'pressed' on to the concept's 21-inch wheels. Vauxhall's signature brand mimics that on the Insignia and creates a fine, close bulge forth the rocker panel. This combines with a additional band active from the aperture handle to the rear of the car, emphasising both a accomplished attenuate and ample shoulder. A third band afterward the contour of the roof is accomplished in accomplished brushed aluminium accentuating the window clear and leads to a acutely absolute chip spoiler. Slim, beam shaped headlamps, belted by LED active lights with chrome surrounds boss the advanced of the Vauxhall GTC Paris Concept. A aci...
