2016 Koenigsegg Regera
The Koenigsegg Regera is the most powerful production sports car in the world. Only recently did we witness the Koenigsegg One:1 set an unbelievable world record, accelerating from 0-300-0 km/h in an astounding 17.95 seconds. After being unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the Regera, a plug-in hybrid supercar promises to bring record-breaking results.
Combining both a twin-turbocharged 5.0L V8 engine with three electric motors, this powertrain produces a breathtaking combined output of 1.11 MW. Altogether the Regera produces more than 1,500 horsepower using just a single-speed gearbox, launching you to a top speed of 0-249mph in less than 20 seconds without even changing gear. In Swedish, ‘Regera’ translates as the verb ‘to reign’ – a very fitting name for the fastest production car in history, soon to brush aside the one and only Bugatti Veyron.
Forgetting the mind-blowing statistics, the Regera was also designed to be the most luxurious and practical model yet. The carbon-fibre futuristic design offers optimal aerodynamics and contemporary exterior lines. A beautiful convertible supercar featuring stylish ‘raptor’ doors that lift up, an interior coated in a deluxe leather finishing and a touchscreen display running Apple CarPlay fitted in the sleek dashboard. The Regera is arguably the world’s greatest convertible supercar.

The 6-speed dual-clutch automatic offers the driver great handling and smooth gearshifts, a superb all-round driving experience.
The latest model combines a more contemporary TT design with clear influences of the R8. For example, the grille appears larger as the famous Audi rings are now on the bonnet, creating a more emphatic overall look. The latest model is constructed with an aluminium chassis weighs significantly less than previous versions. The interior of the Audi TTS features a more technically advanced multimedia system and a refined dashboard. Although the Audi TTS is obviously not as powerful as its competitors, its overall performance, reliable engineering and attractive design give it the edge.
If you are interested in taking a convertible supercar for a spin, but cannot wait until the official release date of the Audi TTS, why not hire an Audi R8 Spider to discover the freedom of open-top supercar driving.
