What It's Like Driving The 1782bhp Koenigsegg Regera

The Regera has a 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, three electric motors, and a new 'Direct Drive' transmission. This is what it looks and sounds like under load on the open road

You can’t even properly shift? That’s literally one of the most exciting things in supercars… I like this car a whole lot less now

If the most exciting thing your car has to offer is shifting, you built a bad car, just saying.

The hydraulic coupling allows for a bit of slip to simulate a downshift but it fully locks at higher speeds. I hope there’s an option to rev the car at idle though

I’m disappointed he didn’t even try to say “now just hand me the keys so I can do a long term test of this car as a daily” you had your shot…

So Koenigsegg basically made the first CVT supercar?
