As Vezess reported a few weeks ago, Rimac’s 1,900-hp super sports car, the Nevera, broke 23 acceleration and braking records in just one day.
But as the saying goes, nothing lasts forever – and that also applies to Rimac records. What is even more surprising is that many of the summits that were decided at the time lasted only a few weeks, as Koenigsegg took revenge against the Croats. The Swedish brand is also known for its model, the Regera, presented in 2015 as a prototype, with which the 0-400-0 km / h race record was taken into the past.
The Regera bested Nevera’s two-week-old best by over a second.
The 1,500-hp Swedish supercar, which is significantly weaker, did so in 28.81 seconds, an improvement of more than one second over the 29.94-second result just a month earlier. We must add that this record was previously held by Koenigsegg: in 2019, this feat was also achieved with the Regera, with the stopwatch coming off after 31.49 seconds. It’s true that Koenigsegg stood against itself at the time, because its 33.29-second time in 2017 can be tied to the manufacturer’s other model, the Agera RS.
The question arises, what is something Regera knows more now than she did four years ago? Koenigsegg gave a simple answer to the question: tires.
In just a few years, tire manufacturing technology has advanced so much that Michelin’s new Cup2R tires have even more grip – but the truth is that breaking existing records has also proven to be a more suitable road surface.
The Koenigsegg record can also be seen on the video:
On home soil, at Orebro Airport, Koenigsegg did not stop at the first decision: With this momentum, they also broke the record of 0-250-0 mph, i.e. 0-402-0 km / h, which is now 29.6 seconds. Acceleration to 402 km/h (21.35 seconds) or braking from a standstill (8.25 seconds) is now standard for the Regera, as well as 400 km/h with 20.68 seconds and 8. by 13 seconds.
The Swedish supercar with a power of 1,500 hp regained its leading position in a total of six indicators.
