Usually hybrid cars give us an
impression that they are slowly family cars, however, this idea is changing
with the arise of more and more hybrid supercars, especially after Koenigsegg
announced its latest flagship model: Regera.
Regera was unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor
Show. The name Regera is a Swedish verb, meaning "to reign" or
"to rule." The Regera was created and designed to be a more
“practical”, “luxury” hypercar alternative to the rest of Koenigsegg’s
lightweight hypercar lineup, including the Agera RS and the One:1. Koenigsegg
states that the Regera will be the most powerful and fastest accelerating
production car ever. The production of the Regera will result in Koenigsegg, for the first time ever, simultaneously having
two models in production.
The Regera produces a reported total of 1,822
metric horsepower through a hybrid powertrain. However, because the internal
combustion engine (ICE) in the Regera has a fixed gear instead of a gearbox and
therefore only delivers peak power at a very high speed while the electrical
motors in the Regera deliver their peak power at a lower speed, the power peaks
of the ICE and the electrical motors are spread out,
It has to say that Koenigsegg makes an
example for high-performance hypercars in the future, since the growing
tensions of energy shortage, car manufactures have to do more research on
electric power, and Regera proves that electric power is no inferior than
combustion engines.
