KOENIGSEGG JESKO ABSOLUT V REGERA: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This video pits two Koenigsegg hypercars, the Jesko Absolut and the Regera, against each other in a series of drag races on the manufacturer's own test track. The Jesko Absolut, with its 1,600hp V8 and 9-speed gearbox, proved superior in standing start races, completing the quarter mile in 8.9 seconds compared to the Regera's 10.2 seconds. The Regera, a hybrid with a 1,500hp V8 and three electric motors, showed strong initial acceleration but ultimately couldn't match the Jesko's outright speed. In rolling races, the Jesko consistently pulled away, particularly when allowed to access its higher gears, highlighting the Regera's reliance on its electric motors for low-speed thrust and its single-speed limitation. The reviewer found the Jesko incredibly stable and fast, while acknowledging the Regera's unique hybrid power delivery. A brake test was also conducted, with the Jesko demonstrating superior stopping power. Overall, the Jesko Absolut emerged as the dominant force in this drag race comparison.
