Everyone wants the latest and greatest hypercar, but the Koenigsegg Jesko is already soldout. If you want a new Koenigsegg in the meantime, production of their hybrid hypercar is in full swing. Thanks toSellerieCimes, we are able to watch a new Koenigsegg Regera leaving Geneva. This stunner is finished in KNC, or Koenigsegg Naked Carbon, and the Akrapovic exhaust gets everyone’s attention.
Speaking of exhaust sound, he also filmed the Bugatti La Voiture Noire and the Divo rolling out without any exhaust noise. Bugatti can’t avoid an electric future, so both of their display cars are testing the technology in plain sight. They are still years behind the Regera, as it uses a 5.0L V8 as a 1,200 horsepower generator. This power is sent to 3 electric motors, eliminating the need for a transmission.
It also has an 800v battery that offers 22 miles of electric cruising, and above 80 mph the engine is directly connected to the differential. Because even the best transmissions steal 20% of engine power, the direct drive offers incredible performance and efficiency. Would you prefer a hybrid Bugatti or Koenigsegg Direct Drive?
