Koenigsegg Regera: Pic Of The Week

No need to go to Monterey to see the production ready Regera - you can have it for your desktop now!

---

Koenigsegg set the world alight when it revealed its 'megacar', the One:1 with its signature 1:1 power to weight ratio. Then, at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Koenigsegg revealed the Regera and the specs shocked the world. A twin-turbo 5.0-litre V8 with three electric motors and rear-wheel drive with Direct Drive Transmission that "removes the dead weight and efficiency losses of the transmission". A combined output of 1,500hp means 0-186mph in 10 seconds and 249mph in 20 seconds. To put that in perspective, Bugatti claims the Chiron will hit 186mph in 13.6 seconds.

This isn't a race car in any way and is said to be the most comfortable Koenigsegg yet. 80 will be made with deliveries starting early in 2017 and this stunning red example is to be shown at Monterey this week but is ready to decorate your desktop right now, courtesy of Pic Of The Week!

Quite possibly the most jizz-worthy car of the decade. It has it all - yes it's expensive, but look at Lotus boasting about a sub 1400kg sports car, when these guys have made a hypercar, with extra motors, batteries, another 1000+ bhp and the weight is nigh on the same. Incredible engineering. Hats off chaps!
