Koenigsegg Launch 1,500 Hp Plug-In Hybrid [Video]
The Regera was created equally a luxury Megacar alternative to Koenigsegg's traditional extreme lightweight race-like route cars. Even though the One:1 too the Agera RS induce got surprising levels of practicality, brute comforts too features, their principal focus is, too has ever been, to hold out the overall fastest cars on the planet – to a greater extent than or less a racetrack or elsewhere.
Regera is Swedish for "to Reign" - a suitable bespeak a machine that offers a never seen earlier combination of power, responsiveness too luxury - creating a truthful MD Jekyll & Mr. Hyde persona.
In spite of all its advanced engineering too brute comforts, the Regera is comparatively light. Therefore it tin forcefulness out all the same perform competitively to a greater extent than or less a race circuit. According to us, the exclusively Hyper/Megacar that could hold out faster to a greater extent than or less a circuit, is some other Koenigsegg. However, out inwards the opened upwards the Regera volition reign equally the manlike somebody monarch of the road, equally the fastest accelerating, most powerful production automobile ever.
The Regera volition hold out handcrafted inwards exclusively fourscore examples. Apart from beingness a suitable production run for Koenigsegg´s newly upgraded too refurbished production facility, the divulge fourscore also symbolizes the regulation of domination, command too achievement inwards Pythagorean Numerology.
With the introduction of the Regera, Koenigsegg will, for the get-go fourth dimension ever, induce got 2 parallel models inwards production.
The interior features; added insulation, 8 way electrically adjustable retention foam seats. H5N1 Koenigsegg 9" infotainment system, 3G too Wi-Fi connectivity, front, inner too parent photographic telly camera organisation alongside recording capability, Apple CarPlay, supreme audio system, ambient lighting too many other bang-up novel features. The Regera also comes alongside forepart too parent parking sensors too remote diagnostic too firmware update capability.
Constellation DRL
H5N1 skillful pattern too layout of the DRL (Daylight Running Lights) gives character, equally the DRL is what's get-go seen when a automobile comes driving from a distance.
We wanted the Regera to stand upwards out too clearly hold out recognized also from a far, then nosotros came upwards alongside a novel persuasion that nosotros telephone phone – Constellation DRL.
To larn a constellation of stars effect, nosotros scattered the LED´s, which brand upwards the DRL, to a greater extent than or less the light cluster, giving the outcome of star constellations on a nighttime heaven made upwards of polished carbon fiber.
H5N1 side outcome is that the LED´s brand the whole light cluster glitter too shine, equally if at that topographic point where diamonds thrown into them. That´s what nosotros telephone phone - Koenigsegg cool.
The pump of the matter
The pump too soul of every Koenigsegg is its Internal Combustion Engine – the ICE. The ICE of the Regera follows the path of its siblings, based on the proven too extremely reliable Koenigsegg drysumped twin turbo, DOHC, 5.0 liter V8.
As before, the Koenigsegg V8 is the most downsized homologated production ICE inwards the world, alongside 220 Hp per liter engine (using regular pump gas). The compactness of the engine makes the Regera nimble, efficient too lightweight.
The departure to the Agera engine is that, given the electrical propulsion of the Direct Drive system, nosotros did non induce got to become equally extreme on ICE power, equally the combined output is way over 1500 Hp too over 2000 Nm torque, anyway. Given this nosotros could install fifty-fifty smaller, faster spooling turbos on the Regera, farther enhancing the ICE drivability too response.
A novel aeroplane of luxury
Therefore Koenigsegg developed a completely novel parent sub frame too parent construction that allows the engine too transmission to residue on active soft mounts. When driving inwards normal weather condition the mounts remain soft too isolate engine dissonance too vibrations. When driving spirited, the mounts theatre upwards to solidify the automobile too give greater response. The daze absorbers are active inwards tiptop too stiffness – 1 time to a greater extent than allowing for the bi-polar behavior.
Furthermore, the Regera tin forcefulness out hold out driven inwards absolute silence, equally it is possible to become into total EV manner for shorter periods of time.
The get-go fully robotized car
Given the latest advances inwards compact lightweight hydraulics, Koenigsegg has managed to robotize the entire Regera alongside almost no weight addition. As the Regera features functions such as; active forepart too parent wings, chassis command too lifting organisation - the pumps too accumulators were already inwards house to connect a few to a greater extent than hydraulic operators. These inwards plow replaced gas struts of equal weight – resulting inwards minimal weight impact.
Due to the above, the Regera is the get-go automobile inwards the basis that operates all torso closures completely automatically. The spectacle to opened upwards too unopen the entire automobile simultaneously from the remote or smartphone, really turns the Regera into a transformer.
On transcend of this, all torso closures induce got soft latching mechanisms, giving the Regera a sophisticated feel. The fully robotized torso system, alongside soft latches adds a mere v kg, making total robotization a really desirable option.
Furthermore the fly mirrors are auto-folding piece the doors open, giving added practicality too visual drama, equally the Dihedral Synchro Helix Doors swing out too rotate ninety degrees to fully clear the door opening, without protruding to a greater extent than than the width of the door – making them highly ergonomic.

The world's get-go fully foldable, active, top-mounted parent fly The Koenigsegg One:1 featured the world's get-go transcend mounted active parent wing. This was an innovative solution that maximized downwards forcefulness compared to its size too weight.
The Regera, beingness to a greater extent than luxury oriented, has taken this solution to the adjacent level, allowing the fly also to fully plication downwards into the torso piece of occupation enhancing the cars elegance piece parking too reducing drag piece cruising. The wing´s active foldable mechanism, is a lightweight piece of occupation of carbon fiber fine art too the movement is really mesmerizing.
Sporting a unique exhaust-note, the Regera has a custom designed, audio tuned titanium organisation jointly developed past times Akrapovic.
The novel exhaust organisation includes a fish tail outlet, envisioned past times Christian, which has non been seen on a production automobile for the finally one-half century, then nosotros are excited to convey dorsum the audio of the past!
Koenigsegg Direct Drive
As many of you lot induce got heard, Christian is non a fan of hybrids, equally they are to a greater extent than oftentimes than non compromised when it comes to weight, complexity, cost, packaging too efficiency.
Given this the Regera is non what nosotros at Koenigsegg would telephone phone a hybrid, equally it does non induce got the traditional shortcomings of a hybrid. Instead the Regera is a novel breed of Koenigsegg - too automobile for that matter.
Traditional, then called parallel, hybrids are compromised too heavy, equally they induce got 2 independent propulsion systems. Alternatively, serial hybrids are less compromised when it comes to weight, complexity too costs, but instead they are compromised when it comes to efficiency, equally at that topographic point is also much release energy conversion going on.
This brings us to the Koenigsegg Direct Drive Transmission or KDD for curt - invented past times Christian von Koenigsegg too developed for the Regera past times the Koenigsegg Advanced Engineering team.
The patent pending KDD organisation replaces the combustion engines traditional transmission too gives the added usage goodness of pure EV mode. What is unique is that the KDD manages to create straight campaign to parent axle from the combustion engine without the ask of multitude gears or other traditional types of variable transmissions, alongside inherently high release energy losses.
During highway travel, for example, the KDD reduces drivetrain losses, compared to traditional transmission or CVT past times over 50%, equally at that topographic point is no stride upwards or stride downwards gear working inwards serial alongside the finally campaign - only straight might transmission from the engine to the wheels.
To supplement the release energy from the combustion engine too to allow for torque vectoring, regenerative braking, extreme drivers response, contrary too release energy conversion, at that topographic point are 3 YASA developed electrical motors. YASA´s axial flux motors are extremely might dense too allow for straight drive, making them a key-ingredient for the KDD. One YASA for each parent wheel, giving straight campaign - this fourth dimension electrical - too 1 on the crankshaft, giving torque-fill, electrical generation too starter motor functionality.
The 3 electrical motors flora the most powerful electrical motor set-up inwards production automobile history, replacing the gears of a normal transmission piece adding; power, torque, torque vectoring too yet all the same able to withdraw weight.
The battery pack too PDU for the KDD were developed too manufactured together alongside Electric Supercar virtuoso Mate Rimac too his applied scientific discipline team. The 620 V battery pack is of the latest fully flooded type too is the most power-dense battery pack ever created for a route going automobile alongside 9,27 kWh of energy, 67 liters of volume, too 115kg of weight. Still, a total 500 kW tin forcefulness out momentarily hold out drawn during acceleration too over 150 kW tin forcefulness out hold out absorbed past times the battery-pack during regenerative braking too ICE might generation mode.
Every jail cellular telephone of the pack is carefully monitored for voltage, nation of charge, wellness too temperature. The cells are enclosed inwards a fully machined aluminum casing for security too stability. The battery is located inwards the most protected surface area of the automobile - the carbon-aramid chassis tunnel. The whole battery pack is actively cooled past times external radiators too the Regera´s all novel electrical AC system, which also tin forcefulness out pre-cool the automobile via the Koenigsegg app on a warm day.
The consummate KDD system, including the battery, adds a mere 88kg to the Regera´s weight, compared to what the Regera would induce got weighed alongside a traditional ICE, coupled to a seven speed DCT transmission instead of the KDD. Presently no other hybrid Hypercar fifty-fifty comes unopen to this type of weight ratio for their electrification. This is interesting, equally they all induce got smaller battery capacity too less electrical might than the Regera.
To position it into perspective, the Regera has almost triple equally many electrical Bhp (700 Bhp) too over 300 Bhp to a greater extent than than its closest hybrid rival. Still the Regera manages to hold out really competitive weight wise, piece including odd features such equally a half dozen way adjustable electrical topographic point too a fully robotized torso work. This is no minor characteristic too it is a testament to the meticulous nature of the Koenigsegg applied scientific discipline team.
The combination of electrical too combustion might is only heed boggling. When you lot larn upwards to speed, the organisation actually comes into play - How nearly 3.2 seconds betwixt 150 to 250 km/h too nether twenty seconds from 0 to 400 hm/h?
