the $2 million Koenigsegg Regera Supercar Photos

Not long ago, people were writing off supercars as a dying breed. Loud, stiff, and characteristically uncomfortable, these champions of speed defy most measures of practicality and logic, and with federal emissions standards and climate change anxiety ramping up, it can be easy to feel like vehicles meant to go fast are living on borrowed time.

Thankfully, that sentiment is complete nonsense.

At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, high-octane supercars took center stage, with vehicles like the 600-horsepower Aston Martin DB11, the 770-hp Lamborghini Centenario, the 1,030-hp Techrules TREV, and the maniacal 1,500-hp Bugatti Chiron highlighting a truly star-studded event. All are amazing examples of engineering and craftsmanship to be sure, but there’s another automotive giant that demands your attention — the $2 million Koenigsegg Regera.

 Initially showcased at the 2015 Geneva show as a concept, this year’s soiree included the production version of the Swedish hybrid, which has undergone more than 3,000 changes since last year. The alterations have made the vehicle much lighter and more efficient than it was before, and the sleek Swede now weighs just 3,240 pounds dry. The car utilizes an 800-volt, 4.5-kWh battery pack and four wheel-mounted electric motors alongside its twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8, resulting in a total output of 1,500 ponies. The system leans on hand-built Formula 1-grade battery cells and the highest cooling capacity of any automotive battery on the market today, which means all of the Regera’s energy goes exactly where it’s supposed to — the ground
 

Flat out, the vehicle sprints to 62 mph in just 2.8 seconds and will prance all the way up to 186 mph in a mind-boggling 10.9 seconds. Not impressed yet? By Koenigsegg’s estimations, the production-spec Regera will go from a standstill to its top speed of 248 mph in only 20 seconds, or about the same amount of time it took you to read this paragraph.

 The Regera is a nearly surreal object of fantasy, one that leads the fight against physics better than just about anything else on the road, but it was only one of the bedroom poster-worthy automobiles on display in Switzerland. Simply put, if you were to throw a rock in the Geneva Palexpo convention center right now (please don’t do this), you’d be bound to hit some sort of performance machine. You might land on the hardcore Porsche 911 R, or perhaps the all-electric, 402-hp E-Tense concept produced by Paris-based automaker DS. Ferrari’s new GTC4Lusso provides V12 enjoyment for up to four passengers in a unique shooting brake package, whereas the Gumpert Apollo Arrow scoffs at the Italian’s pragmatism in favor of pure, unadulterated velocity. And noise. Lots and lots of noise.

Petrol-fueled astonishment aside, there will always be those who doubt the longevity of the segment, and for good reason. But like the people who build them, performance cars can change, adapt, and (hopefully) survive in an ever-changing world, and the 2016 Geneva Motor Show was proof of that. So whether it’s an emissions-free, environmentally-conscious Tesla that can match the Regera’s acceleration or a W16-powered behemoth from Bugatti, we have good news.

The supercar is alive and well.

Limited Edition Bugatti Veyron by Mansory Vivere 3.4 Million USD

Limited Edition Bugatti Veyron by Mansory 3.4 Million USD

WHAT DO YOU CALL A LEATHER AND CARBON FIBER-CLAD BUGATTI VEYRON? A MANSORY VIVERE

How could someone possibly want a Bugatti Veyron to be even more decked out? I mean, the thing will blow its own tires off and drink its weight in gasoline in a matter of minutes. Oh well … the more bling the merrier.

The Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse finally gets a little attention from Mansory, the crazy witch doctors of the automotive tuning world. Just take a look at its Aventador LP700-4, if you don’t believe me. Mansory seems to think it is extremely difficult for Bugatti owners to answer questions like: “Should I go with the Buggati Blue and tan Napa leather interior?” Or “What should I choose, carbon fiber or aluminium?” Thankfully, the Vivere simply makes the best choice for them.

The exterior of the Vivere is covered in a superbly lacquered carbon fiber. Other nit-pick options include a new inner front grill, shortened hood, larger side scoops, a spoiler package that provides new diffusers, front apron, etc … you get the point. Even the headlight and taillight clusters are new LED versions and, as you may have guessed, Mansory would not dare leave the Veyron alone without a set of shiny new rims.

The interior is of course entirely re-upholstered and decked out in carbon fiber glory. Mansory’s version of Pimp My Ride wouldn’t be complete without a luxurious new LED lighting system to illuminate the cockpit.

If an 8.0-liter W16 engine producing 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque isn’t enough for anyone in this world, I don’t know what is. I will have to admit, surprisingly, that having all of that glorious engine in a package perfectly suited to my every stylish need is, indeed, pretty darn cool.

Bugatti’s back with 1,500 horsepower in its unholy, 261 mph Chiron
 

In 2005, Bugatti brought a gun to a knife fight in the form of its Veyron supercar. More accurately, Bugatti introduced the world to guns when all it knew was swords and arrows. Over 1,000 horsepower, a 0-to-60 mph sprint below 3.0 seconds, and a top speed of 250 mph were the figures of fantasy.

In the time since that supercar heard round the world, the competition have refined their weapons. Established players like Ferrari, Porsche, and McLaren can match or beat Bugatti’s tired old Veyron and upstarts like Hennessey created their own world-beating monsters.

The king lost its crown.

But now the seasoned emperor is back in a new suit of armour – one that isn’t just shiny, but innovative as well. Today, Bugatti reveals its Chiron supercar, successor to the Veyron and heir to the speed throne. In the automaker’s own words, the Chiron is the world’s first production supercar to wrangle 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque.

 -to-60 mph will take less than 2.5 seconds and its new, limited, top speed will hover at 261 mph. Those who are carefully watching the top speed wars know that Hennessey’s Venom set the record at 270 mph recently, but something tells me there’s more speed to be pulled from the Chiron’s reworked quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine.

“It is part of human nature to cross boundaries and set new records – to run 100 m faster than ever before, to fly even further into space and to enter new realms. This striving is also our driving force at Bugatti,” said Wolfgang Dürheimer, President of Bugatti Automobiles. “The Chiron is the result of our efforts to make the best even better.”

Those don’t sound like the words of a brand who’s ready to rule a lesser kingdom.

 

The Chiron is built on a new carbon fibre monocoque chassis, with tires developed specifically for Bugatti and a slew of innovative technologies to make the car handle as well as it rockets to ludicrous speed.

“Our customers form an exclusive group of automobile collectors who are searching for the very best. With the Veyron, they have the best production sports car of the past 10 years,” Dürheimer continues. “This is why their demands and expectations for our next step – the Chiron – were so high.“

Only 500 examples of the Chiron will be built, each costing €2.4 million/$2.61 million USD. Pre-orders are already in process, and the first production units will be available this Fall.
