I have to say i lost interest in Koenigseggs after the CCR. As soon as they started adding wings and spliters and canards etc, and started on the willy-waggling max speed and HP nonsense, they changed from being a genuinely different supercar manufacture to just another boring small volume near-vaporware Veyron chaser.

Yet after the CCR They started to make their own engines and invent a New type of Suspension.
There isn't a Single brand on the planet like them tbh.

Huh, a "luxury Megacar"? That's new, for a Koenigsegg car at least. So it might actually be slower than both the Agera and the One, an entry-level luxury Koenigsegg car so to speak...

Well think about it, Koenigsegg are one of the newest manufactures out there but they are the furthest thing from mainstream(They haven't even sold 100 cars from memory), Pagani would be the most similar company and even they don't make their own engines.Uh, that sounds about like the beginning of every current mainstream manufacturer.
Comparing it to back in the day when anyone could make a useable engine in a shed because they had no regulations to adhere to is no real feat, compared do now.

You do realize the blueprint for the Koenigsegg V8 is essentially, the exact same Ford block they started with.
But, you said there's not a single brand on the planet like them. I'm pretty sure every brand is like them; going from sourced engines to their own & developing their own technology is merely evolution. Every manufacturer still running has been where Koenigsegg was.

That's not the point I was reffering to anyway, what im saying is the brand itself they are nothing like any other brand in the market today, who else makes cars that exclusive using bespoke parts that had to be invented for said car using their own engines and their entire brand is essentially Hypercars that chase speed records.
As of right now none, Pagani is the only company like them that is independent from a mainstream maker that sells cars at the same price range.
Both have a different philosophy and both are unique to the industry today.
Also you better fact check your engine theory because outside of the big car makers and its subsideries most brands just modify or use exact same specs as engines made by the mainstream companies.
Lotus for example have yet to make their own engine for a production car.

Bugatti, Ferrari, & Lamborghini have done that. TVR has done it. Zenvo's engine is pretty unique to them as well. Again, Koenigsegg going from sourced engines to building their own is not new, today or then. Nor is creating their own technology.
If you want to get technical as to who is presently doing what Koenigsegg is doing on a smaller scale (otherwise Ferrari is exactly the same), it's SSC. Same limited production. Started building their own engines in 2009. Started building their own gearboxes. Have more than likely developed their own in-house technology to sustain the cars' goals much like Koenigsegg.
It's the evolution of the company becoming self-sufficient. Everyone's been there in some form or another.

First 3 are now subsideries TVR doesn't exist(yet) like I said I was reffering to todays market.
Zenvo would be the closest but they don't actually make cars at this point in time, the 15 they intended to make have been made.
Also SSC as of right now haven't released a car that has a chassis made from scratch the Aero still uses a diablo chassis.

Not only does Lotus occasionally self-develop their own engines (see the V8 Esprit) but they often help develop engines for mainstream manufacturers. Look at the LT5, for instance. In fact their powertrain engineering/consulting facility is about 1.4 miles from my house here in Ann Arbor.
So Fiat develops Ferrari's engines?

You said the brand is not like any others. It is exactly like the others; they are evolving.
They have not built all 15. Provide some evidence unless you're going to tell me all Zenvo has on tap is white & orange paint.
No, it wasn't. The original car was built on a Diablo replica body & everyone knows how wildly varied those are. The car since then has been built in-house.

Luxury megacar? Like "get-on-my-level-Veyron-in-terms-of-luxury-and-speed" luxury megacar?

I've barely stopped drooling over the One:1 and now this? Christian, pls.
As raised above, I wonder if they're taking on the Veyron in this luxury proposition.

Just heard that the Regera will be a hybrid with a 700HP electric motor coupled with probably some powerful engine along with it. Looks like it will be friendly to the environment, but not to you!

If that's the case, the engine would need to be dialled back to produce a combined 1MW (1341hp) power output.

Unless they go REALLY MAD and give it over 1500HP!

So a hybrid huh?
That actually makes sense with it being called the Regera as people speculated that the RE part of the name was a reference to a regenerative energy system like a hybrid.
It'll be interesting to see where they go with this if its confirmed.
