Koenigsegg boss specs his perfect Regera. Looks amazing

Woo, lordy. That’s quite a colour combo.

Indeed – it’s “a blue-tinted carbon finish with gold leaf striping.” The wheels are also finished in gold leaf – which is likely to make you quite cross when you scrape one along a kerb.

The blue-yellow combination is, as you might expect, a luxurious rendition of Sweden’s national colours, as “Koeniggsegg is a very proud Swedish company.” And, as Sweden is quite excellent, we’re not arguing. 

It’s the final car in the ‘Employee Regera’ series, a ‘this is how I’d have mine’, made by the people who actually build the cars. We’ve seen a few before, including one in maroon and one in deep purple. Smooooke from the tyy-reeess…

Please promise you’ll never do that again.

Yes, that was rather embarrassing. Moving on.

You’ll notice that the rest of the car follows much the same form as the terrifyingly brilliant Regera that we drove a while back. 

So, there’s the same V8-hybrid powertrain that’s good for a combined 1,479bhp – a curiously similar number to another modern hypercar. 

And it’ll fry its tyres at almost any speed you choose to. Which has to be a plus.

How do you say ‘Regera’, anyway?

Well, like we mentioned in our first drive of the hybrid hypercar, it’s pronounced with a hard ‘g’ – “Re-gera”, not “Re-jera”. It means ‘to reign’. 

And deploying the best part of 1,500bhp, with the top down, will probably make you feel like a king – unless of course, you bin it spectacularly.

Tell me more about the special edition.

Of course. The interior has also undergone a series of changes, which, like the outside, convey an idea that’s close to Christian’s heart. 

The first car that he and his wife owned was an NA series Mazda MX-5 – also known as the Miata, for those who spell colour without a ‘u’ – which had a brown leather interior. 

Their first car was a Miata? What a pair of champions

Indeed. So, to honour the very family-based nature of Koeniggsegg, Christian fitted out the Regera’s interior in leather with a similar brown hue. 

So, what are your thoughts on Mr Koenigsegg’s very personal Regera? And what, if anything, would you do differently?
