The Koenigsegg Regera, FPV250 Mods, Arduino Clock, viewer feedback, and more!
The Koenigsegg Regera
Koenigsegg is Swedish Automaker that is known for making some absolutely RIDICULOUS supercars.
It was founded in 1994
Delivered it's first street-legal production car in 2002
In 2006 it created the CCX which VAULTED Koenigsegg into stardom
795hp - custom engine
Carbon Fiber reinforced with Kevlar and aluminum
Carbon Fiber Wheels
In 2011 they created the Agera
Bumped up the power to a Twin-Turbocharged, in-house, 940hp engine
RIDICUOUSLY light (Just over 3,000 lbs)
0-100 in 2.8
0-200 in 8.9
0-300 in 14.53
Last week, they rolled out the Regera
It's a 1,500 hp supercar that also happens to be a hybrid!
Only 3,589 lbs
A 5-liter V8 - Custom in-house, twin-turbocharged engine makes 1,100 HP and 944 foot-pounds of torque
They added three electric motors (one on each rear wheel, and one on the drive shaft)
Those electric motors add 400 hp and heap on a LOAD of torque at 0 RPM
The wheel motors have 192 ft-lbs of torque
The Shaft motor has 221 lb-ft of torque
They also included a 9 kwH LiIon Battery
It can drive for 22 miles under pure electric power.
In other words... this car STARTS with 605 foor-pounds of torque at ZERO RPM --- then it ramps up to just over 944-ft-lbs of torque as the engine gets closer to its power band.
Also, the motors in the wheels can be used for torque vectoring. Like steering a ROCKET!
They're only going to build 80 of them... so they're going to be EXPENSIVE!
