Koenigsegg Regera tagged posts

Some of you may wonder why we are talking about Honda Accord and Koenigsegg Regera at the same time. At first glance, these two cars are totally unrelated: the Honda Accord Hybrid has only 196HP combined system power, while the Koenigsegg Regera has 1,500HP. The Accord Hybrid starts from $29,305, while the Koenigsegg Regera carries a price tag of $1,890,000 (close to 1.9 million).

In fact, despite the huge difference in power output and price, these two cars have one common feature: they are the only two production cars that connects an internal combustion engine (ICE) directly to the driving wheels...

The Koenigsegg Regera was debuted in the Geneva auto show last week. It has a very unique powertrain which is consist of a 5.0L turbocharged V8 engine, plus 3 electric motors (one at the crankshaft providing 215hp, two 241hp at each rear wheel) sourcing power from a 9.27kWh battery pack.

The total system output of the Koenigsegg Regera is rated at 1,509ps (1,489hp) with a top speed of 249mph. We will have a very interesting article to analyze this exotic car in next week. At this moment, please enjoy our photos taken in the auto show.
