First Koenigsegg Regera to be Auctioned Sports 24-Karat Gold Leaf Graphics Protected by XPEL
Published On February 16, 2021
Among the increasing herd of electrified hyper cars, Koenigsegg runs on a reputation for being a lone wolf from Sweden. Innovative technology, low production numbers, record-breaking speeds, and flicking chunks of burnt rubber in the face of Italian supercars. Koenigsegg hyper cars rarely cross an auction block, which is why this 2019 Koenigsegg Regera is making digital headlines. Auction house RM Sotheby auctioned this one of a kind equipped Koenigsegg Regera in Arizona in late January – the first Regera to ever be auctioned.
This 2019 Koenigsegg Regera is one of only 80 examples built between 2016 and 2020 and the 175th Koenigsegg chassis produced. According to RM Sotheby’s listing, the Regera is a U.S.-spec model and was originally ordered with over $370,000 worth of optional equipment. One of the most extraordinary features is the Speedster graphic package finished with a 24-karat gold leaf matched with Koenigsegg's Aircore carbon fiber wheels. A full ULTIMATE PLUS ™ paint protection film wrap from XPEL was applied to the Regera in July 2020 to protect the literal value of the car's paint job. At the time of this publication the 2019 Koenigsegg Regera is marked as "Still For Sale" on RM Sotheby with an asking price of $2.7 million.
XPEL paint protection film is designed to leave exterior paint surfaces with a high-gloss shine that will not yellow over time. After application, it is virtually invisible while providing a force-shield-like barrier to protect the vehicle's clear coat against rock chips, parking lot scratches, and environmental contaminants found in insects and bird droppings. XPEL paint protection film will ensure your vehicle always shines bright as its sleek finish provides an easier to clean surface capable of repelling dirt, water, road grime in all weather conditions.
ULTIMATE PLUS paint protection film will protect the Koenigsegg Regera's 24-karat gold leaf graphics in a high-gloss sealed barrier to keep rock chips, swirl marks, scratches, and road grime. A protective layer of peace of mind for a hyper car with an estimated value of nearly three million dollars.
The Koenigsegg Regera flexes a 5.0-liter V8 with three electric motors to produce a combined power output of 1,500 horsepower and 1,475 lb-ft of torque. Koenigsegg designed a single-speed, direct-drive transmission to send this hybrid source of power to the rear wheels. The Regera can set off speed traps in record times, hitting zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds, zero to 186 mph in under 11 seconds, and is electronically limited to a top speed of 251 mph. Not your average plug-in hybrid.
