          • Know How... 134: Hybrid Supercars, FPV250 Mods, and a Arduino Clock

            The Koenigsegg Regera, FPV250 Mods, Arduino Clock, viewer feedback, and more!

            The Koenigsegg Regera

            Koenigsegg is Swedish Automaker that is known for making some absolutely RIDICULOUS supercars.

          • It was founded in 1994
          • Delivered it's first street-legal production car in 2002
          • In 2006 it created the CCX which VAULTED Koenigsegg into stardom
          • 795hp - custom engine
          • Carbon Fiber reinforced with Kevlar and aluminum
          • Carbon Fiber Wheels

            • In 2011 they created the Agera

          • Bumped up the power to a Twin-Turbocharged, in-house, 940hp engine
          • RIDICUOUSLY light (Just over 3,000 lbs)
          • 0-100 in 2.8
          • 0-200 in 8.9
          • 0-300 in 14.53

            • Last week, they rolled out the Regera

          • It's a 1,500 hp supercar that also happens to be a hybrid!
          • Only 3,589 lbs
          • A 5-liter V8 - Custom in-house, twin-turbocharged engine makes 1,100 HP and 944 foot-pounds of torque
          • They added three electric motors (one on each rear wheel, and one on the drive shaft)
          • Those electric motors add 400 hp and heap on a LOAD of torque at 0 RPM
          • The wheel motors have 192 ft-lbs of torque
          • The Shaft motor has 221 lb-ft of torque
          • They also included a 9 kwH LiIon Battery
          • It can drive for 22 miles under pure electric power.
          • In other words... this car STARTS with 605 foor-pounds of torque at ZERO RPM --- then it ramps up to just over 944-ft-lbs of torque as the engine gets closer to its power band.
          • Also, the motors in the wheels can be used for torque vectoring. Like steering a ROCKET!
          • They're only going to build 80 of them... so they're going to be EXPENSIVE!
