Koenigsegg Direct Drive Technology
Also the regera uses a new powertrain technology called koenigsegg direct drive.
Koenigsegg direct drive technology. The regera is an alternative to koenigseggs traditional race ready road cars. 2020 koenigsegg suv price the suv will not cost as much as the agera presently priced at 2 million however it will not go listed below 1 million either. First dont call the koenigsegg regeras drive system a gearless transmission not because theres no such thing as a gearless transmission but simply because the koenigsegg direct drive. It might utilize the koenigsegg direct drive that patent pending tech that would utilize an electrical motor rather of the existing transmission.
By directing torque through gears you begin losing potential energy as heat through friction. The koenigsegg direct drive transmission kdd was invented by christian von koenigsegg and developed for the regera by the koenigsegg advanced engineering team. This revolutionary technology removes the traditional gearbox making the car lighter and more efficient. By eliminating a traditional gearbox and adding the koenigsegg direct drive kdd system koenigsegg was able to save a comparative 88kg.
He was especially impressed with the direct and intuitive experience provided by an electric car like the tesla remarking that the instantaneous response of the motors was. Then theres the efficiency gains. The patent pending kdd replaces the combustion engines traditional transmission the gearbox as you know it is removed from the car. The koenigsegg direct drive transmission kdd was invented by christian von koenigsegg and developed for the regera by the koenigsegg advanced engineering team.
On this episode its a drivetrain nerds paradise. Christian von koenigsegg talks us through the direct drive gas electric hybrid system that makes traditional gearing obsolete on the 1500 hp. Koenigsegg founder christian von koenigsegg purchased a tesla model s p85 in 2013 and was impressed by the cars ability to instantly deliver power without the need for a downshift or to wait for turbo lag. The koenigsegg regera combines a powerful twin turbo v8 combustion engine with three electric motors and cutting edge battery power via new powertrain technology called koenigsegg direct drive.
The koenigsegg direct drive transmission removes the traditional gearbox from the car.
