By CARSIFU | 3 March 2016


GENEVA: Koenigsegg is presenting the production version of the Regera megacar at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

The Regera, which has a megacar moniker, has a massive 1,500+ hp output and 2,000+ Nm of torque and the Koenigsegg Direct Drive system is used to put this power to the ground.

The Regera will reach 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, 0-200 in just 6.6 seconds and 0-300 in a blistering 10.9 seconds.

Koenigsegg estimates a 0-400 km/h time of 20 seconds and acceleration from 150 to 250km/h in just 3.9 seconds.

The Regera was introduced in concept form at the 2015 Geneva Auto Show, and since then, over 3,000 changes have been made to the concept vehicle.

It has a kerb weight of just 1,590kg.

With the Direct Drive system, Koenigsegg has developed a clutch-slip mechanism that uses the hydraulic coupling to convert torque at medium/high speeds during fast acceleration.

Shift paddles remain on either side of the steering wheel.

The left paddle is used to enhance the regenerative braking effect in recharging the battery pack.

The right paddle is used to activate the hydraulic coupling’s ‘downshift’ operation.

The Regera has a 800 volt, 4.5kWh battery pack, making the Regera the world’s first 800V production car.

This extreme battery technology will now provide an amazing 525kW of discharge and up to 200kW of recharge.

The Koenigsegg Regera battery pack also boasts the highest cooling capacity of any battery in automotive use today.

The Regera's battery pack uses Formula 1 grade, hand built cells that not only provide improved performance and regenerative capability, but weighs a mere 90kg whilst providing enough power to help the Regera to accelerate to 300km/h in just 10.9 seconds.



Meanwhile, Koenigsegg also presented a new, bespoke limited edition called “Agera Final” which are limited to just three vehicles, all of which have been sold, and are the last of the Agera model line.
