Agera RS available at 1.92M EUR

The Koenigsegg Regera has been listed for sale by a UK-based dealership for the whopping price of 2.1M EUR.

The megacar was revealed back in March during the Geneva Motor Show and now an example of it is available through the mobile.de platform. UK dealership SuperVettura is asking 2,100,010 EUR (around 2.36M USD) for it and says the delivery can take place in December 2016.

As a refresher, the Regera comes with the so-called Koenigsegg Direct Drive system that combines a 5.0-liter V8 engine with three electric motors. The total output of the machine stands at “way over 1500 HP”, according to the Swedish manufacturer.
SuperVettura is also offering the Agera RS with a price of 1,920,000 EUR (2.16M USD) including taxes.

Who Better To Explain New Regera Hybrid Hypercar Than Mr. Koenigsegg?

The Koenigsegg Regera was the much more interesting car to check out at the Swedish automaker’s Geneva motor show stand. It’s a mind bending collection of numbers and features several unusual technical solutions.

Christian von Koenigsegg really likes to show off the ways in which his company innovates, and we must admit to being completely hooked on it… The man really wants the firm to excel and attract as much attention as possible, and with cars as made as the Regera, they’re managing that brilliantly.

You’ve already heard it has no gearbox whatsoever and that it’s the first car ever to run a direct drive from the engine to the wheels. This is augmented by three electric motors that bring the total power output up to 1,500 hp…

But there’s so much more to it than that, like the reason for choosing the fishtail-style exhausts (no, the big center one is not for the engine, but for cooling the electrics) which are integrated into the rear diffuser arrangement, or the fact that it has soft-closing doors for the first time on a car such as this.

But we’ll let Christian von Koenigsegg guide you through the Regera and also the new Agera RS as well in the two videos posted below courtesy of GT Board.

After its successful introduction as a concept last year, the Regera "megacar" is finally ready to be delivered to its first customers.

According to the Swedish manufacturer, no fewer than 3,000 changes were made in order to get it ready for production, as the car now weighs just 1,590 kg (3,505 lbs) complete with water, oils and fuel. Its dry weight is 1,470 kg (3,240 lbs).

During the development process, Koenigsegg's patent-pending Direct Drive system was their biggest challenge. Yet it has yielded the biggest rewards, making the Regera even more revolutionary than it was first envisioned to be.

It's comprised of a clutch-slip mechanism that uses hydraulic coupling to convert torque at medium/high speeds during fast acceleration, giving off a sensation of traditional downshifting even without the traditional gearbox.

The car still uses shift paddles on either side of the steering wheel, however the left paddle is used to enhance the regenerative braking effect in recharging the battery pack, whereas the right paddle is for activating the hydraulic coupling's "downshift" operation. Another world first is the adoption of a 800V back, with the 4.5 kWh unit weighing just 90 kg (198 lbs).

With a 0 to 300 km/h (0-186 mph) acceleration time of just 10.9 seconds, it actually beats the new Chiron's "less than 13.6 seconds" announced by Bugatti. The reason for that is of course the Regera's massive 1,500+ HP output with over 2,000 Nm (1,475 lb-ft) of torque. With those kinds of numbers, it will reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds and 200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.6 seconds. That's slightly slower than the Chiron, but it seems that the magic happens somewhere between 200 and 300 km/h as far as the Regera is concerned.

Koenigsegg has also estimated a 0-400 km/h (248 mph) time of 20 seconds flat and a 150 to 250 km/h (155 mph) sprint time of just 3.9 seconds.

Despite the outrageous performance, Regera owners can expect a very refined driving experience due to the sense of isolation and peace within the cabin at low speeds - which is why Koenigsegg say this car has a true Jekyll and Hyde personality.

Inside the you'll find goodies such as rear & forward facing cameras, Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi, heated and electrically adjustable seats with memory function, among other features.

It looks beautiful. In my dream garage it'd be next to a Pagani Huayra.

The fastest car I've driven is a c5 z06 vette that had around 500whp.

The fact that things like this exist and are "daily drivable" breaks my brain a little bit.
