Overview
The 2019 Koenigsegg Regera is a Swedish hypercar in Driving Empire. It was originally added some time in late 2019 as the 2017 Helix Ghost, costing $2,550,000, before going off-sale on December 18th, 2020. Later on the price was increased to $3,550,000 and the vehicle was remodeled to be the Ghost Package variant in real life. The vehicle then received an additional revamp and a name change to Egg Ghoul on March 12th, 2022, and joined the 2022 Helix Hydra, the 2022 Avidore 4.0F and the 2010 Avidore Fury H2FLK as one of the featured limited vehicles. It was available for 4 days but came at the costly price of $5,555,555. As a result, 3,907 were sold. Later on, the vehicle received a rename along with all Egg (Now Helix) vehicles. The vehicle was added back as a licensed vehicle on December 21, 2024 with a price tag of $8,500,000 and was merged with the base model of the Koenigsegg Regera, keeping the name of the base model while using the newer Ghost Package model.
The Koenigsegg Regera is based on the Ghost Package variant, introduced prior to the 2018 Geneva Motor Show as an optional aerodynamic package. This package extends the front splitter and the side sills, adds canards to the front fenders, and adds fixed winglets to the rear quarter panels. These changes increase the downforce generated by the car by over 20%. Aside from these aerodynamic changes, the performance remains identical to that of the base Regera. The 5.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 paired with 3 electric motors produces a combined 1,500 horsepower and 2,000 Nm of torque, paired to a single-speed transmission; the electric motors provide power at low revs while the engine supplies power at high revs. The Regera has a 0-62 mph time of 2.8 seconds and is electronically limited to a top speed of 251 mph (404 km/h).
Performance
For its price, its performance is abysmal. In races such as Drag Race, Drawbridge Sprint, and Circuit Race, the Regera is overshadowed by the McLaren P1, which is 5.3 times cheaper than the Regera. Even cars around its price range such as the Pagani Huayra R have much better performance overall. The Koenigsegg Regera should be treated as a collection car and not a car for racing.
