Koenigsegg Moment Sees 1,500 HP Regera and 1,360 HP One:1 Sharing the Track

The latest episode of this kind saw the Angelholm-built hybrid sharing the track with the automaker's current top performer, the One:1.

There's a massive difference between the two, though, and it all has to do with the principles that sit behind these behemoths. While we've explained the Regera above, the One:1 owes its name to the fact that it comes with a power-to-weight ratio of one to one.

While its twin-turbo V8, the kind of engine we find in all Koenigseggs, albeit in a special version, delivers 1,361 PS (make that 1,342 hp), the hypercar tips the scales at precisely 1,361 kg (3,000 lbs). And with hardware pieces such as a 3D-printed exhaust tip, this K machine has quite a story to tell.

Returning to the Regera, we'll remind you about the in-cabin driving footage we brought you back in January this year.

The hybrid setup's output hasn't been released yet. So far, we know the Regera will deliver around 1,500 hp, but we're not aware of the exact value. When it comes to the scales, this gas-electric Koenigsegg weighs in at 1,628 kg (3,589 lbs).

Despite having three electric motors, only two of these provide traction, but don't expect an all-wheel-drive path such as the one used by the 918 Spyder.

The Regera remains a rear-wheel-drive hypercar, one whose V8 power is sent not to a clutch or a torque converter, but to an electric motor. This is also used as a generator for recharging the 9.27 kWh battery pack, while the other two motors power the rear wheels individually.

Instead of the clutch, Koenigsegg's upcoming halo car uses a hydraulic coupling to disconnect its V8 and attached electric motor at speeds below 30 mph (48 km/h).

And to see how all these bits and pieces work together, you can check out said Regera drive once you're done with the clip below.
