I gotta visit several banks and make hasty withdrawals.
Oh boy 1,800HP!!! I wonder what the insurance rates are going to be for that speed demon?
At $1.89M, I doubt they care!
Got a tip for us?

Maybe someone who knows cars better can help me out. How can it go 250 mph if it tops out at 225?
Never thought I'd see a Koenigsegg on this site. The Agera is still my favorite, though.

Ehh, please don't tell me you're required to use a touch screen to change the AC temperature and fans.

This car is seriously insane!
I found a short video from todays Auto Show in Geneva of the interior, giving a short glimpse of CarPlay on the 9 inch system.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr0igLif7mE
Notice that it says "Powered by Neonode" in one of the screens. This 9 inch system actually looks great, and seems to be similar or the same to the one used in the new 2016 Volvo XC90 SUV.
Edit: Read the press release, how about that endorsement of the touchscreen tech from the Koenigsegg CEO:
"We only work with the highest performing systems on the market and chose the Neonode zForce touchscreen because of the superior touch performance and optical properties it enables, says Christian von Koenigsegg , Founder and CEO of Koenigsegg.
System looks really cool and the car is a transformer supercar? Please Santa Claus.
Ehh, please don't tell me you're required to use a touch screen to change the AC temperature and fans.
It helps if you read the number properly. It's 255, not 225.
How quickly can it go 0-60?
Hey great, I can get carplay in a $2M vehicle that nobody can afford!!
Jesus, even my Tesla Model S can't do Carplay and it's software updatable. Until we see more companies get on board with this stuff media systems in car will continue to suck.
Must be a slow newsday at Macrumors....
Back to reality.

Probably does 0-60 in longer than it does 60-150. Traction off the line is always the killer.
This isn't quite right. One electric motor is mounted on the crankshaft in front of the ICE. The other two are on the rear axle. All three electric motors operating in conjunction deliver variable torque such that no conventional gearbox is required. It's an interesting concept but I'd hate to find out what happens if one of those motors fails at 240 MPH.
CvK is a car guy's car guy. What he does in that tiny shop is amazing. From the original CC to the Bugatti murdering Agera R, on to the blistering One:1 and now this. If CvK had the financial backing of a Ferrari (La Ferrari), Porsche (918) or McLaren (P1) there's no telling what this guy would come up with.
CarPlay support. That should help move these.

Outstanding post. I'm kind of not into the whole "hyper car" thing, but any automative enthusiast has to be a fan of what Christian von Koenigsegg does with his available resources, how he does it, his design vision, unique engineering, etc.
Thanks for saying this. Although, this is MR so I think they can be forgiven for their faux pas. For all the tech and interesting concepts in the Regera it's the CarPlay support that brought it to the attention of site.
If one of the motors fail at 240 MPH it will probably slow the car considerably.
If one of those hollow carbon fiber wheels fails Drivetrain for anyone interested.

It would take about 10 Siri requests to do the job of turning one knob up to the desired value. Also, turning a knob is much less distracting than talking to Siri.
