VIDEO: Carbon-fibre construction allows Koenigsegg Regera wheels to gain aesthetic element to design


Along with its unique direct drive transmission which allows it to accelerate to its top speed without gearchanges, the Koenigsegg Regera also employs carbon-fibre construction for its wheels. In this video, /DRIVE shines its spotlight on Koenigsegg, with particular focus on the Regera’s wheels.
Now although it isn’t the first car to use factory-fit carbon-fibre wheels – that accolade goes to another Koenigsegg, the One:1 – the new wheel design for use on the Regera adds an aesthetic element, with styling that would be unfeasible on a wheel of traditional aluminium construction – it would be either too heavy or not strong enough, according to founder Christian von Koenigsegg.
To recap, the Koenigsegg Regera is powered by a 5.0 litre, twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors producing a total system output of over 1,500 hp and more than 2,000 Nm of torque; sufficient to propel the Regera to a string of impressive acceleration figures: 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 6.6 seconds, 0-300 km/h in 10.9 seconds and 0-400 km/h in 20 seconds.
