This could be quite interesting if it's a totally new design. What do you think it might look like?
Don't say "like every other Koenigsegg"

Agera R, Zonda R, Ferrari FXX, P1 GTR, 918 RSR, Gumpert Apollo S, Hennesey Venom GT in one Racing series. Now that would be awesome.

Racing doesn't really make sense when it's a mismash of cars that have vastly different capabilities. I think it would be much more worthwhile if manufacturers sat down and created a common set of rules that they could build cars around for an idea like this.

Of course the cars would need some finetuning, but I think a lot of them are kinda equal performance wise. It's just a shame that these manufacturers build cars which you can only utilize on a racetrack, but then they're not actually racing.
Glickenhaus also complained about that, that's why he's building the SCG003 with both in mind.

In a straight line, maybe. But in corners the FXX, P1 GTR and Zonda R would waltz away. It'd actually be quite dull.

Not to mention that you're not really owning these cars anyways, at least that's the case with the Ferrari FXX and 599XX and such, which kinda goes against the principles of "owning" a car.

This is a common myth; those who bought the XX Programme cars were full time owners of the vehicles. However, since the cars traveled the world so much, it was much easier to let Ferrari eat the maintenance/traveling costs by keeping them at the factory. There is a handful of XX owners who brought the cars home & still drive them despite the Programme ending.

Ah okay, I didn't know that, sorry. :)
 
Its going to be a big disappointment and its going to look like the 1: one but with yellow flourishes instead of orange. :lol:
 
If it's not entirely new, the rear has received substantial work. Looks promising to me now, because I've never really liked the original.

Shmee somehow got a picture if the rear

Gotta love these eager (and brave) fans who'll go the extra mile to capture a bit of a car, before it even gets launched. The rear defintely looks different, so there's that. Even if it might be the same standard Koenigsegg design, it has received quite a lot of attention.
 
One thing I have to say is that this is absolutely the best time to release the Regera. With the Veyron selling out, and a successor in the works, Koenigsegg is going to set the bar and make Bugatti reach for it just like how they did with the Veyron for so many years. Excellent marketing strategy.
 
Anyone else think ultra cars are going a bit overboard with the bare carbon fibre? Starting to look gaudy.

That's if Koenigsegg ever actually decides to attempt the record again.

Ever since Bugatti bested the CCR 2 months after it grabbed the record, the only records Koenigsegg has been breaking (beyond a 0-300 time frame) are deceleration records. Top speed claims always seem to be just that. :confused:

I'm not even specifically talking about the record, more about just the Regera being the "pinnacle" of the automotive industry, and it taking the spot in pop culture as the car to beat, if that makes any sense. Great exposure for Koenigsegg, I'd say.

Based on Koenigsegg being reluctant to change the basic design of the car & the Regera seemingly following Koenigsegg's trend of extremely high horsepower cars, I personally don't see it becoming the technical marvel the Bugatti was.
