Ladies and gentlemen drivers, you should brace yourselves for the age of the Regera. This is the first time in Koenigsegg's admittedly brief history when the automaker's line-up packs more than one vehicle - while the Agera RS is the company's performance-only machine, the Regera serves the role of a Grand Tourer.
After all, having 1,500 hybrid horsepower and no transmission does allow the horsepower giant to be extremely gentle, if so required. Oh and by the way, here's how the transmissionless experience works, in case you were curious.
The Regera has now made its US debut, so you're looking at the first example to have set wheel on American soil and probably the second Regera ever built.
The details that set this hypercar apart from other Regeras we'll get to meet in the future (we can't wait) are the Candy Apple Red hue and (possibly) the extreme aero package. The latter, which you can easily recognise thanks to the canards on the side of the front apron or the twin hardware cast in the role of the rear wing, is a development that was presented after the initial landing of the car.
The Facebook-delivered piece of footage at the bottom of the page allows you to get a good taste of this gas-electric devil. It's worth noting that the K machine was caught on camera while attending The Quail A. Motorsports Gathering in California, which is keeping enthusiasts on their toes these days. You'll also get to see this bad boy on the move, all thanks to the YouTube clip below.
Back in June, Koenigsegg announced that the entire Regera production run (that would be 80 cars) had been spoken for. If, however, you are willing to spend $1.9 million on such a land-land missile, there might still be hope for you.
That's because a part of the cars have been ordered by the K brand's dealers. Anybody in the mood for hitting 248 mph (400 km/h) in under 20 seconds?
