Well, that didn't last long. It was only a month ago when the Rimac Nevera set a record for the fastest production car to reach 249 mph (400 km/h) and then come to a stop and now that record is already obsolete. An older hypercar has managed to dethrone the electric beast as Koenigsegg is happy to announce the Regera has improved the record by more than a second. It needed 28.81 seconds to complete the task whereas the Nevera took 29.94 seconds.
The Swedish marque is no stranger to setting records as it used the Regera in 2019 to complete the same 0-249-0 mph run in 31.49 seconds, improving a previous 33.29-second time achieved with the Agera RS in 2017. Koenigsegg rhetorically asks: "So, why set these new records with a car that is long off the production line? Because it can! Because it is still the King reigning supreme in today's super competitive automotive landscape, and that is something that should be celebrated with a new record."
