What makes Christian Von Koenigsegg so awesome, like he needed a reason to be even more awesome, he doesn’t lock away the inner mechanical workings of this Swedish mega-hyper-sports-car. It’s straight art baby!
In addition to loving watching your videos, seeing these posters of Senna fills me with pride. As a Brazilian, I am very happy to see this legend being honored whenever possible. 👏👏
Honestly: "Picture a Tesla and add the verocity of a V8". that is the most accurate and believable and actually cathartic description of flooring a Koenigsegg. For those of us that will never even see one in real life. That is actually fathomable as a lot of us will have the chance to try a Tesla. I have, and therefore I can actually envision and imagine what you mean. Which is the closest I will come to experiencing a Koenigsegg, so thank you :)
Excellent video James, as always! It's awesome to see your partner's second Regera (7212) up close. Given that you already gave us an up-close look at his other Regera (7150) in the Chronicles of Koenigsegg series, this really allows us to compare his two Regeras and see their little differences. They are both amazing specs!
This is the ultimate hypercar, pure art in design both inside and out, phenomenal tech, love the luxurious interior and it’s not noisy at all- the complete package, beats the Pagani hands down although that’s also a beautiful looking car
To me, Koenigsegg is the best hypercar brand there is and possibly EVER. I mean these cars have the most horsepower there is along with lots of thorough engineering to maximize a car’s speed, handling, and appearance. Don’t get me wrong these cars are mostly built for top speed, but even for going around the track they’re pretty good. 😎
Where should you go? Well, the obvious answer is back to Switzerland, to that 1 of 1 garage/ car showroom/ man cave! But, maybe that's too predictable? So, I wanna see that Koenigsegg on one of the best driving roads anywhere... and OGs of the channel know exactly to what I'm referring when I say, 'Red Rock Road'! That iconic highway just outside of Monaco, that you delighted us viewers with, James, so many moons ago - when you had to 'lead' a fair few super/ hypercars on a bit of a drive. That would be fun!
I mean this car is a WORK OF ART! what i like about Koenigsegg is everything is made by them and the Michelin tyres work with the company. Like if you look at the aston martin valkyrie, too much down force the tyres cant handle it whereas koenigsegg has taken it another step further by working with Michelin to deal with the speed and downforce!, that is the difference in attention to detail
I can see just looking at it a way to make those air core wheels. Quite impressive how they came up with that. Depending on how obsessed they got being renewable about it, core removal is either messy or like taking apart a 3D puzzle. Neat.
I bet the Regera is an awesome grand tourer. Roof off, headed down to the South of France, maybe Monaco? Imagine driving that on the "Red Rock Road" or the D2....
Its no wonder the price of the Regera has quadrupled in just 4 years. Only 80 made and this car ticks all boxes - record speed, record thrust, outlandish looks, tricked out, luxury, convertible, easy to drive
The only car I can think to compare this to is a Chiron maybe? It’s the only other hyper-car that doubles as a luxury gt. Someone should do a comparison video if they could get ahold of both…
Nice job on the spec. Looks fitting to me. Not crazy about that neutral color on the suspension bits though. It reads earth tone to me, which doesn't seem to fit the overall color theme. I think Alumibeam (sp?) or gunsmoke powder coat would look better for a standard color.
Originally they were planning to have some decent e-only range with 700 hp. Pretty quick for any supercar. Then Rimac supposedly came up with a lighter battery that had less total capacity and they gave up on the e-only driving. For GT driving, perhaps a bit of a shame? Personally I wish they'd manage to make it AWD at that weight, since there is no dual clutch gearbox. Porsche 918 offered both, but arguably half the power.
I don’t think the wheels are a single piece of carbon, I think they’re many layers of carbon that are bonded together using the autoclave, how they make them that strong and light is black magic
This company is my absolute dream! These detailed solutions are simply unmatched. But what intrigues me: There is yes behind the license plate the possibility to charge the batteries. Do you have to? Or are they also charged while driving?
What's the issue with that track? Not enough road bed? It reminds me of bike paths - very bumpy. They are nice for a cruise but something you'd never want to compound miles on while pedaling a performance bike.
I think the perfect road trip would have to be trip up to, and tour around Rotherham! Just let me know when, so I can prepare myself not to geek out too much when I see it about.
This is it then. Absolutely stunning. Wonder what a Aston Martin /// koenigsegg would look like. A koenigsegg Regera dipped in the colorschemes of a Aston Martin. Even a Osloblue variant with subtitle details of AMR green could work. Hmm
I hope both Production Bunker Regeras will be driven in a road trip to its home at the factory, Sweden, when you are (I really hope you are) invited to test drive a Jesko in very near future. I think that will be a very iconic road trip.
What happens if you pull the reverse paddle while you’re driving around the track ? Is there some sort of ‘Lockout’ like on a gated manual to prevent the car from going into reverse
To engage Drive, Neutral, Reverse mode, the car has to be standing still. So if you pull the Reverse paddle when moving, it will increase the Regeneration from braking (based on how long and how hard you pull the paddle). This also can help the car stop faster, and obviously, regenerate electric faster.

this made me sad
Koenigsegg is the pinnacle of performance car manufacturing. Incredible.
They are top notch motors. But I prefer the pagani interiors.
@@russcooke5671 thats the only thing going for them honestly
@@clkgtr12really what colours your pagani interior?

His partner has 2 Regeras?
@John Pruett lmao
Such a beautiful car and just sounds amazing. Love your videos great content.
Reminds me of a Transformer vehicle.
The build quality is insane😎👍👍
Who doesn't love orange and blue. What a great combo...so classy. James brings us another awesome car. A moving piece of art.
luv this spec so much -- especially the dry/ wet carbon combo.. and the paint choices are on point, with the just right am out of orange
This is the ultimate hypercar, pure art in design both inside and out, phenomenal tech, love the luxurious interior and it’s not noisy at all- the complete package, beats the Pagani hands down although that’s also a beautiful looking car
That direct drive its truly genius - along with the power to weight - its a masterpiece of enginering

I love your attention to detail but also make it easy to understand. Great work.
The details on this car is unmatched by any car makers. Both mechanically and aesthetically. It’s not even close.

Christian is a design genius I mean the quality is just exceptional 👌🏽 😎
Swedes know how to do these things well 😂
Thats only until you have to move with your ikea furniture
One can only dream of a Regera road-trip video.
that spec is spot on, lovely blue
Perfect proportions in every area.
The first time I saw a picture of an Egg with it's doors open I thought that company had no chance. I'm proud to have eaten my words. Love Them!!
One of the best Car Builder ever👍😅
This car leaves you speechless just seeing it on the screen...
How close was that rear to the wall at the beginning 😱
My heart skipped a beat when it passed, ouch...
Love the color scheme, absolutely amazing.
Such a insane machine 🔥🔥
The only car I can think to compare this to is a Chiron maybe? It’s the only other hyper-car that doubles as a luxury gt. Someone should do a comparison video if they could get ahold of both…
Out of all the ones I’ve seen, this is by far my favorite color scheme
Rolls and Skoda: Umbrella.
Rivian: Torch.
Koenigsegg: Yes.
im super early love the Koenigsegg videos specially the factory tour and the Jesko... this Regera looks amazing
You should work for Koenigsegg, one can sense your love and appreciation for the brand.
Go from the UK to Artic circle Sweden Kiruna Now that be a road trip
Words do not convey my feelings about Christian 's creations ✌️👌😁
What is the difference between Koenigsegg's Triplex suspension and the DeDion suspension ?
Best Egg for me is definately Regera...I would take it over Jesko, Gemera or CC850 in a second 😎
Well well well. I love the sound that is. Perfect art,perfect engineering 👌
I can't wait to see them make a 100% EV car
You know it's special when you get the giddy kiddy laugh out of a grown man
😅
such a special machine 👏
Egg polished carbon is divine.
Nice job on the spec. Looks fitting to me.
Not crazy about that neutral color on the suspension bits though. It reads earth tone to me, which doesn't seem to fit the overall color theme. I think Alumibeam (sp?) or gunsmoke powder coat would look better for a standard color.
James, take that beauty to the Nurgburgring.
Love Koenigsegg they are a cool company and just about every car they make is crazy.

Personally I wish they'd manage to make it AWD at that weight, since there is no dual clutch gearbox. Porsche 918 offered both, but arguably half the power.
The Gemera does all what you want.
The regera is still a plug-in hybrid, but it only has around 20-25km of EV range.
Beautiful, stunning. The sound from that engine is amazing.
Shame I’m not a billionaire
I don’t think the wheels are a single piece of carbon, I think they’re many layers of carbon that are bonded together using the autoclave, how they make them that strong and light is black magic
Like a single mold. How they achieve this, know idea
Do you think they lie??
its awesome seeing a car ive worked on
Road trip, anywhere in the Southwest USA! How about the Nevada Silver State open road race. Texas has one too.
This company is my absolute dream! These detailed solutions are simply unmatched. But what intrigues me: There is yes behind the license plate the possibility to charge the batteries. Do you have to? Or are they also charged while driving?

Cool that not only do you get to see cars that most people won’t, but that you get to mob some of those cars too. Color me jelly.
Awesome ⚡️🤍⚡️
At 12 seconds, although I knew it wouldn’t touch the wall, I was perspiring 😅
senna and hamilton on background😁
I suggest a road trip to a high speed circuit, like Monza or even Silverstone, closer to home.
koenigsegg is on next level
Ia this filmed with an iPhone?
One hell of a car. Nice color could be a sky blue just not on earth. True overall get cars because you love them not for investment purposes only
Other than those super sexy swiss roads in the alps, and the great tarmac in Dubai, a cruise to Monte Carlo seems appropriate.
The roadtrip should og course be to Nothcape💪🏼
This is it then. Absolutely stunning. Wonder what a Aston Martin /// koenigsegg would look like. A koenigsegg Regera dipped in the colorschemes of a Aston Martin. Even a Osloblue variant with subtitle details of AMR green could work. Hmm
Some people prefer Bugatti, some prefer the Egg’s, I prefer both. No need to separate amazing things ( obviously i could only have them in a dream )
Jeez, pretty damn close to the door frame on the pirouette.
I hope both Production Bunker Regeras will be driven in a road trip to its home at the factory, Sweden, when you are (I really hope you are) invited to test drive a Jesko in very near future. I think that will be a very iconic road trip.
James, what's the vmax on your bumpy wee straight? 120-140? this is the fastest acceleration/stopping production car 0-250-0 in the world
Midnight sky blue
There's no 'link in the description below'
really lovely video!
Absolutely gorgeous car.
Do you know anything about a 1.31MW (1757hp) Environmental pack for the Regera?
It's a $250,000 option available for later Regeras!
Wow that’s crazy didn’t know that
There’s a video showing how Koenigsegg makes the hollow carbon fibre the wheels !
Is that the "Eboladrome" test track?
Beautiful machine and a GREAT video content!
Still no runs on a prepped dragstrip?
So cool, love all koenigsegg's, as a ex Military Aircraft Technician, what former airbase is that Mr JWW
It's a lovey looking car and i like carbon fibre body and the paint work. A very nice car and a lot of money
Was that a nail sticking out of that rear tyre? @2.13
Work of art
Every time I see one of these it reminds me to work a little bit harder
4? As in 4k? Damn that´s awesome, now i can afford myself a Regera 😁
*I have 2 koenigsegg regera and 2 jesko! Also 2 bugatti chiron super sport and 2 bugatti divo*
Such a nice spec…
You should come see my favorite driving roads! California; MY way.
What happens if you pull the reverse paddle while you’re driving around the track ? Is there some sort of ‘Lockout’ like on a gated manual to prevent the car from going into reverse

Carwow drag race please
Cool car and nice video thank's !
Spaceship 😭😭❤
dolomites would be awsome road trip
I think koenigsegg and Porsche are the only ones to actually make the brake's inhouse
Awesome content as always Mr JWW! Would love to sit in let alone drive a Koenigsegg 😍😎
