The nearest to being inside a Koenigsegg Regera that most of us will ever be.

Things I didn’t know:

The Koenigsegg name is obviously not Swedish, but the original German branch of the family is still is situ in the small town of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (yes, they can still into umlauts) in SW Germany. They’ve been there since the 1100s and one of their number, Max zu Königsegg*, is still on the town council, because tradition.

*Max to his friends. Maximilian, Graf zu Königsegg**, to you , sunshine.

** Hereditary titles and the associated entitlements were abolished in Germany in 1919 so he isn’t really a Graf. However, if you’re called after the town and your innumerable ancestors have been the local Graf...

Much more !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

That steering wheel is hideous.

Mine would probably just be a well-appointed Volvo wagon. I like boxes full of airbags.

I like those too. I sat in a non-XC V90 wagon and it was maybe the most comfortable I’ve ever been in a car.

Watched a few tests - it’s really all the car you need, and then some.

And it’ll even tow 3700 pounds if you happen to be so inclined.

Of all the hypercars, the regera is the only one that justifies the price imo

Regera.

That’s the way you do it.

economy for nothing and performance for free...

but seriously, engine and generator hooked to a final drive ratio , and two output traction motors... just zero to 200+ mph, no multi-gear transmission needed.

Lotus needs to borrow a Koeniggsegg, and apply the split removable roof panels to Evora, yesterday.
