The Koenigsegg Regera is the latest supercar from the small, Swedish brand, and its specifications will blow your mind as easily as the car can blow you away.
The two-seat, mid-motor, carbon fiber machine, whose name means "to reign" in Swedish, features a unique plug-in hybrid powertrain with a total output of 1,500 horsepower, and can reach its top speed 249 mph in less than 20 seconds.
And it does it with just one gear.

Quite a toy for anyone with an extra $1.9Mil+ laying around.
I wonder if it qualifies for the $7500 tax credit? LOL!

A website has some cool exhibitions with these world supercars, from Konigsegg, Bugatti, McKlaren, Porsche, Lambo, and others
www.gtboard.com
Earlier version of Konigsegg smokes Bugatti, who previously held the top speed record for production cars.

Just had to check. That’s 400 Km/hour.

I wonder if you die at 249mph as quickly as at 200mph? I mean, the carbon fiber probably explodes just about the same.

It would get stuck in my driveway and the gators would chew on the tires.

"...powertrain with a total output of 1,500 horsepower..."
1500 - that's the same HP as the gas turbine engine that powers the 60-ton M1A1 Abrams main battle tank - that would be "ludicrous speed"!!

They are obviously converting ~400 KPH to Imperial units with a false accuracy of 3 digits. It bugs me too when they do that. ~400 KPH ~= 250 MPH.

It looks like it would get stuck in a lot of driveways, the ground clearance looks to be for tracks only.

If you buy it in Sweden you get the $7,500 tax credit. But that doesn’t do much to offset all of the $60,000 speeding tickets you’ll get.
