Koenigsegg Regera
Price: Rs 12 crore (excluding duties)
The Regera is Koenigsegg’s idea of a more luxurious alternative to the raging Agera siblings. Naturally then, it produces 1,500 PS of power through a new-for-Koenigsegg hybrid powertrain. Power comes from the same 5-litre twin turbo V8 as in the Agera but with smaller, quicker spooling turbos. CEO Christian von Koenigsegg has designed a new direct drive system that removes the need for a gearbox, thereby freeing up space and weight. The resultant numbers are scarcely believable: 0-100 kmph in 2.8 seconds, 150 kmph to 250 kmph in 3.2 seconds, 0-300 kmph in 12.3seconds and 0-400 kmph in 19 seconds. But the biggest number, of course, is the price.
