# Brutal Production Supercars Koenigsegg's New Supercar Is the World's First 800-Volt Vehicle By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-03-02 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-supercar References: [jalopnik](http://jalopnik.com/koenigsegg-regera-this-is-it-1762048341) & [koenigsegg](http://koenigsegg.com/regera/) The [Koenigsegg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemera) [Regera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinteros) is a magnificent new supercar whose production version has just been revealed. The vehicle's concept version was debuted a year ago in Geneva, but has undergone over 3,000 changes since then. Quite incredibly, this new supercar is the world's first 800-volt production car. It makes use of a 4.5 Kilowatt-hour battery pack and weighs in 3,505 pounds, a good 1,000 pounds lighter than the brand new [Bugatti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bugatti-bolide) Chiron. This enables the vehicle to benefit from a frankly ridiculous 1,500 horsepower, enabling it to sprint from zero to 62 miles per hour in only 2.8 seconds. The vehicle also enjoys well over 1,400 pounds-feet of torque. The Koenigsegg Regera is truly a masterful work of auto engineering, and manages to look fantastic and perform in mind-blowing fashion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **800-volt Supercars:** An opportunity for car manufacturers to develop even faster and more energy-efficient production cars with high-performance batteries. - **Lightweight Supercars:** An opportunity for car manufacturers to develop cars that are lighter in weight yet still packed with high power and performance. - **Electric Supercars:** An opportunity for car manufacturers to develop electric supercars with high performance capabilities, challenging traditional gasoline-powered supercars. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can invest in R&D to develop innovative and high-performance electric or hybrid supercars. - **Battery Industry:** The battery industry can see an opportunity to develop advanced energy storage solutions for electric supercars with even higher voltage batteries. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** The luxury goods industry can capitalize on this trend by developing high-end, custom, and limited edition supercars that cater to affluent customers who demand exclusivity and prestige. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Four-Seat Hybrid Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemera.md) - [Ultra-Advanced Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koenigsegg-sadairs-spear.md) - [Croatian Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nevera-supercar.md) - [Exclusive Luxury Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-car.md) - [Teardrop-Shaped Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koenigsegg-1.md) - [Modern Swedish Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cc850.md) - [Industry-Leading Hybrid Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-w1.md) - [Audaciously Powerful Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hypercars.md) - [Reimagined Road-Legal Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadlegal-supercar.md)
