In 2014, Christian von Koenigsegg purchased a Tesla Model S and declared the car was more fun do drive than a BMW M5. In 2015, Koenigsegg rolled out its new 1,500-horsepower Regera hybrid supercar. Are these two things related? Actually, yes they sort of are according to a recent question and...

Koenigsegg builds the most powerful cars in the world, with its One:1 developing as much as 1,341 horsepower and its upcoming Regera hybrid promising as much as 1,500 hp.

Swedish supercar marque Koenigsegg had a trio of cars on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year. The One:1, an Agera, and the still-under-development Regera.

Witness the power of the world’s first ‘megawatt’ car, the Koenigsegg One:1. The 1,341-horsepower supercar recently smashed the world record for the 0-300-0 kmh (0-186-0 mph) acceleration and brake test, requiring just 17.95 seconds to achieve the feat. That’s exactly 3.24...

This is something you don’t see every day, even if you live on the German Autobahn: a Porsche 918 Spyder chasing a Koenigsegg Agera R at 217 mph—the same speed the 918 ran in Australia for a stunt. CHECK OUT: Drunk California Woman Stalls Car On Freeway, Urinates, Wanders Into Traffic...
