Direct-drive hybrid hypercar — no conventional gearbox, 1,500 PS and holder of the 0–400–0 km/h record at 31.49 seconds in 2019.
Revealed at Geneva 2015 and produced from 2016 to 2022, the Regera replaced the conventional gearbox with Koenigsegg's Direct Drive single-speed system, combining the 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors (one on the crankshaft, one per rear wheel) for a combined system output of 1,500 PS. Koenigsegg announced the Regera as an 80-car run; RM Sotheby's cataloguing and the marque chassis registry have both cited 85 completed cars.
The Regera also debuted the 'Autoskin' robotised body — doors, bonnet and engine cover that open and close hydraulically at the press of a button — and a fully integrated 800-volt hybrid system unique in the industry at launch.
Defined a new class of hyper-GT and showcased Koenigsegg's clean-sheet hybrid engineering — the brand's first true grand tourer.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regera | 2016–2022 | 80 (registry cites 85) | Each car effectively bespoke; the final cars were completed in 2022. |
Start with identity, paperwork and originality. For the Koenigsegg Regera, the strongest cars have continuous ownership history, matching numbers where applicable, original books and tools, factory build documentation and evidence of work by manufacturer-approved specialists. Bespoke colour combinations, full carbon-fibre body, Ghost Package and one of the cars with verified low mileage and continuous Koenigsegg service.
5.0 twin-turbo V8 and direct-drive hybrid system are factory-serviced; battery state-of-health and high-voltage electronics are the critical inspection points. A proper pre-purchase inspection includes cold-start behaviour, ECU diagnostics and fault-code history (where applicable), leak-down or compression testing, underbody photography, suspension and chassis inspection, brake condition and a long enough road test to expose heat-related faults. Deferred maintenance on a car of this class is almost always more expensive than buying a better-sorted example.
Use a paint-depth gauge, lift access and a specialist familiar with the model's factory panel gaps and finish standards. Collector value is dramatically affected by structural repairs, refinished panels, poor paintwork and missing factory trim or option content. Documented cosmetic refresh is acceptable; concealed accident or fire damage must be priced severely.
Specification, original paint, ownership history and full Koenigsegg factory service compliance. Specification, colour, options and limited-build variants move values significantly. Buy the best-documented example in the most desirable specification you can justify, rather than a tired example of a rarer derivative that will need years of corrective work.
