Driving My Friend's New KOENIGSEGG REGERA!

My friend, Zach's Garage has just taken delivery of a brand new Koenigsegg Regera, and let me take it for a drive to experience what it's about! The Swedish hypercar joins an amazing car collection, with the full blue carbon and painted gold standing out, and on the roads... there aren't many words!
My first drive in a Koenigsegg Regera came almost 2 years ago in the USA with Dan Am I, which was a very early version of the car but with deliveries now fully underway of the 80 units of the Swedish hypercar, it's time to take in more of what it offers. With numbers that are so high it makes no sense, there's a 5.0l TT V8 making 1,100hp and 1,200nm, combined with an electric power unit adding 700hp and 900nm, all operated through Koenigsegg Direct Drive, ultimately allowing it to go from 0-400km/h (248mph) in a mere 22.8 seconds. Go figure!
Having only just arrived at Zach's Garage, this particular car is one of a handful coming to the UK and features a body of full exposed blue-tint carbon fibre, combined with hand painted gold leaf for the accents and visual contrast around the exterior. Inside it's a match with blue Alcantara and gold stitch, in a cabin that offers a very GT feel considering the available power.
With UK roads famous for being uneven and having loud tarmac, it's a great opportunity to discover that this really is the ultimate, usable megacar, offering insane performance but actually immense usability and dare I say it an even smoother drive than a Bugatti Chiron. With Zach joining me, let's first bring it out of the museum of amazing cars before hitting the roads to discover more, with a tour of the cars in the collection upon return.
A huge thanks to Zach, please do check out his channel and pages for more with this car and many more:

Hey Tim! You have been a real inspiration to me, a young car enthusiast, to start my own channel. Your content is great, even though you started as a car spotter, you've increased quality a lot!! What I'd think would be great is for you to now and then make videos based on car reviews, such as I do, so I can learn from you! Hope you're staying safe, cheers!

There are a lot of those channels. And Shmee have to make things there give money, since KZbin changed, so they steal all The money from The youtubers.. And Shmee is not a car jounalist, but a self made KZbin star. Just to tell you Why he dont work that way.

[@johnnytampocao7671]

If i drive this car I have to be very focused and never turn my sight left or right specially in that type of road but SHMEE is so relaxed and accelerate so fast. Salute to both of you, the guy is so humble I watch his own video the other day about his new collection(TOY FOR THE BIG BOYS). If SHMEE wants to buy this car he has to sell all his collections, this is insanely expensive car. Yesterday I've seen all the new Koenigsegg collection at the newly opened Koenigsegg Show room at Puerto Banus Marbella. The JESKO, GEMERA AND JESKO ABSOLUTE ARE AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS.

Just to clarify, this is in the UK with 70mph speed limits on a road like this. If the driver of another car chooses to go faster that's up to them, I am lucky to drive in Germany with the Autobahn and on runway events or tracks, so choose to enjoy the acceleration from lower speeds up to the limit.
