Last March, the 2018 Geneva Motor Show allowed Koenigsegg to share the Ghost Package for the Regera with us. At the time, we talked about all of the 80 build slots for the hybrid hypercar being sold out and we wondered who the lucky few are. Well, we've now returned to the topic, as a Saudi Prince has now let it slip that he added a Regera Ghost Package to his garage.
The collector showcased the 1,500 horsepower hybrid via social media, with the spec being the one we saw at the said Swiss event. And, as you'll get to notice in the Instagram post at the bottom of the page, the aficionado's garage holds plenty of other special contraptions (more on this below).

Keep in mind that the Ghost Package adds a lip spoiler, aero elements on the sides of the front apron, along with posterior-mounted winglets. According to Koenigsegg, this pack boosts the downforce of the gas-electric hypercar by a meaty 20 percent.

As for the owner of the velocity tool, we're referring to Prince Badr bin Saud, who earned plenty of social media fame after sharing a selfie he had taken with his grandfather, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah (the monarch passed away one year after the pic was snapped). And yes, this is yet another occasion for us to mention that Forbes had estimated the King's fortune at $21 billion back in 2015, with this also including close family members.

Since we mentioned the Prince's car collection, we'll remind you of some tales we previously discussed that involve the aficionado. For instance, the royal figure recently showed us an Agera RS1 (this belongs to a collector known as Whitesse), which had been caught on camera alongside a Pagani Zonda Riviera - tthe Prince reportedly sold this San Cesario sul Panaro toy.

In fact, we had previously talked about the gear head's collection when he received the keys to a pair of Bugattis, namely the world premiere Chiron and the Vision GT Concept.

In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
