Koenigsegg revealed the production version of the Regera at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The supercar is powered by a 5-litre V8 twin-turbo engine packing close to 1500bhp assisted by three electric motors. All this power helps the Regera sprint to 100km/h in just 2.8 seconds as claimed by Koenigsegg.

The carbon-fibre body helps keep the weight down. Also, the Regera is equipped with a "Direct Drive" system that replaces a traditional gearbox. It has a clutch-slip mechanism that employs a hydraulic-coupling to convert torque at medium to high speeds during acceleration, enabling the unit to gain revs and power.
