Koenigsegg creates moving tribute to Prince
Regera hypercar features purple hue and plenty of naked carbon-fibreKoenigsegg has created its own tribute to legendary musician, Prince, who died last April.
Based on the firm's latest Regera, the Swedish hypercar is said to have been inspired by the title track of Prince's 1984 'Purple Rain' album.
Hence why the Regera comes with a striking exposed purple carbon-fibre body that's matched with white brake callipers that lurk behind full carbon-fibre rims.
Inside, the themed hypercar gets a white leather interior, that in the pictures has blue stitching, but will have purple on the final production car.
Under the rear boot lid lives the standard car's mighty 1119kW/2000Nm twin-turbo 5.0-litre V8 hybrid powerplant that, according to company’s founder Christian von Koenigsegg, is capable of spinning up its rear wheels all the way up to 280km/h.
Against the clock, the Regera is claimed to hit 100km/h in just 2.8sec, reach 200km/h from standstill in an astonishing 6.6sec and top out at 400km/h.
It's not known how much the one-off hypercar will sell for.
Last year the Swedish hypercar maker said it planned to make just 80 Regeras over five years, with each priced from around $3.1m.
