This megacar can taken down the bugati chiron
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, of which 40 have already been sold as of March 2016, each costing approximately US$1.9 million.[1] 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
- Only 1100HP generated by the internal combustion engine
- Nearly 700HP is generated by the electric motor!
Even the all new Mercedes AMG ProjectONE can't boast of that. Not impressed? The Bugatti god-damn Chiron generates 1500hp on a massive fuel guzzling 8 litre W16 quad-turbocharged engine-- and the Chiron was launched a year after the Regera! Rules of competitive evolution clearly don't apply to Bugatti.
The vehicle to have heralded the megacar era was the Koenigsegg One:1. It was being regarded as the "fastest production car ever built", (sorry Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, better luck next time Hennessey Venom GT, but it's the truth). The One:1 carried a twin-turbocharged 5 litre engine producing 1370hp, gaining a top speed of about 440kmph and sprinting from 0-100km in just 2.8 seconds! Musk, are you reading this? This was in 2014!

Automobile makers need to learn a thing or two from the megacar makers that hail from the land of Ikea-- after all, going from a 1341hp 5 litre twin-turbo engine on the One:1 to a 5 litre 1500hp twin-turbo engine on the Regera in a year, without any compromise on the fuel economy, is not a frickin' joke.. They have some serious R&D in place. And it isn't just the powertrain of the vehicles that's fantastic, even the exterior of the vehicle is worth commending.

One last knowledge nugget before we push off-- we mentioned that Koenigsegg vehicles are rare, now we'll tell you they are so rare that even Ferrari will have sold more cars than they have. The Regera will see only 80 models in production! Feel the heebee jeebees, yet?
Interior features
The Regera will include added insulation to help add to the luxury by reducing cabin noise caused by wind and powertrain noises. Also included as an added luxury item over previous models will be 8-way electrically adjustable memory foam seats. The Regera will also include many new technical features such as a Koenigsegg 9-inch information and entertainment system, a complete camera system with recording capabilities (front, inner, and rear), Apple CarPlay, a new sound system, ambient lighting, and 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. It will also feature front and rear parking sensors.
The Regera will feature active engine mounts for the ICE and transmission to rest on. The engine mounts are designed to stay soft at lower speeds, significantly reducing vibrations and engine noise, adding to the luxury effect of the vehicle. While driving more aggressively or at higher speeds, the engine mounts will firm up, giving greater lateral response to the vehicle.
Exterior Feature
Christian von Koenigsegg believes that a good design of the day-time running lights (DRL) on a vehicle gives it character, and developed a DRL system that is supposed to resemble a constellation with the carbon-fiber background resembling the night sky.
Koenigsegg claims that the Regera is the first "fully-robotized" car. The vehicle features hydraulic pumps and accumulators to control the active front and rear wings, as well as active chassis control and lifting. Hydraulic lifters were added to the already existing pumps and accumulators to allow for all body panels on the vehicle to be remotely operated.
