King of the Road

It’s not only those amazing doors and the key fob you put in the centre console that gives this supercar massive appeal. What’s amazing about Swedish carmaker Koenigsegg’s Regera (the name translates as ‘to reign’) is that its twin-turbocharged V-8 coupled with three electric motors and a gearless direct drive transmission can propel you from 0 to 400km/h in under 20 seconds, the fastest acceleration of any car on the planet. The petrol/hybrid Regera is a high-performance luxury alternative to the more mainstream supercars made by marques such as Ferrari and Lamborghini. In addition to being ridiculously fast, the megacar’s innovative technology includes active engine mounts that transform it from a speed racer to a cool cruiser in an instant. With its sleek styling, spacious cabin dressed in thick brown leather and silver trim, adjustable memory-foam seats and premium sound system, the Koenigsegg Regera blends outrageous speed and supreme comfort—at, of course, a kingly price. Production is limited to just 80.
