The heart and soul of every Koenigsegg is its Internal
Combustion Engine – the ICE. The ICE of the Regera follows the path of its
siblings, based on the proven and extremely reliable Koenigsegg drysumped twin
turbo, DOHC, 5.0 liter V8.
As before, the Koenigsegg V8 is the most downsized
homologated production ICE in the world, with 220 Hp per liter engine (using
regular pump gas). The compactness of the engine makes the Regera nimble,
efficient and lightweight.
The difference to the Agera engine is that, given the
electric propulsion of the Direct Drive system, we did not have to go as
extreme on ICE power, as the combined output is way over 1500 Hp and over 2000
Nm torque, anyway. Given this we could install even smaller, faster spooling
turbos on the Regera, further enhancing the ICE drivability and response.
