The total distance used for 0-400-
0 km/h was 2048.46 m. In better
conditions a total length of under
an unbelievable 2000 m should be
fully achievable with the Regera.
Christian von Koenigsegg continues:
“What is really impressive is how
incredible the Regera brakes – 8.62
seconds from 400 km/h to 0 km/h
is just unheard of. It is a testament
to the Regera’s balance, suspension,
aerodynamics and of course
its in-house design and built Koenigsegg
brake callipers. The proven
numbers now show the greatness
of the Regera. Having said that, we
know we can improve these already
impressive numbers on a track with
better conditions.”
Performance data for the run was
captured using an AiM EVO5 data
logger and AiM GPS08 alongside a
Racelogic VBOX 3i.
Safety is key for Koenigsegg. Local
paramedics were prepped and
on stand-by, and personnel armed
with fire extinguishers were also on
hand along the airstrip as further
precaution.
Sonny Persson, a long term Koenigsegg
factory driver and former
three-time Swedish Karting Championship
winner, comments, “The
record is proof of how the Direct
Drive transmission gives the driver
seamless power on command. The
car is truly a dream to drive. The
stability during acceleration and
braking is from another world.”
Koenigsegg Regera
The Koenigsegg Regera combines
a powerful twin-turbo V8 combustion
engine with three electric
motors and cutting-edge battery
power in a patent-pending powertrain
technology called Koenigsegg
Direct Drive. This revolutionary
technology removes the traditional
gearbox, making the Regera lighter,
more efficient and more fun
to drive than more normal hybrid
solutions..
