The two might look close to each other from a design point of view, but Koenigsegg says it has made over 3.000 changes from the concept to the production model.

In the 12 months since the presentation of the Regera concept, Koenigsegg gathered customer orders and prepared itself to make its new mega car. They call it a mega car because it has over 1,000 KW (1,360 PS or 1,341 HP), so the name is fitting.

As previously stated, the Koenigsegg Regera production model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 MPH) in just 2.8 seconds. The sprint from zero to 200 km/h (124 MPH) only takes 6.6 seconds.

Accelerating from a standing start to 300 km/h (186 MPH) takes just 10.9 seconds, the time it probably took you to read this paragraph. Since Koenigsegg’s Regera can surpass 400 km/h (248 MPH), the company published an estimated time of 20 seconds for this feat.

The new Regera is not just fast off the line, as its powertrain can deliver stunning acceleration from motorway speeds as well. For example, a quick dash from 150 km/h (93 MPH) to 250 km/h (155 MPH) takes just 3.9 seconds.

The car only has a curb weight of 1,590 kilograms (3,505 pounds), including oil, fuel, coolant, and other fluids. Dry weight sits at just 1,470 kg (3,240 pounds).

As most of you know, the Koenigsegg Regera does not have a gearbox, as it features a technology the company calls Direct Drive. The company officials admitted the system was complicated to develop, but rewarding. The system on the Regera is unique in the automotive world and provides impressive acceleration while reducing traditional power loss at the drivetrain.

In spite of the fact that it develops a maximum torque of over 2.000 Nm and a peak output of over 1.500 HP, the Swedish mega car still features modern tech on board. So it is not just a racecar for the road, but a vehicle with Apple CarPlay with Wi-Fi functionality, rear-view camera, and other luxury and comfort features. Moreover, the Regera has a function called Autoskin that allows the driver to remotely open the doors, front hood and the rear engine cover with an on-board hydraulic system.
