    Full Carbon Fibre Koenigsegg Regera Looks Radical

    Last year the Koenigsegg Regera officially sold out but it has taken the company quite some time to begin delivering customer cars.

    The latest one to leave the factory is not messing around in the spec department as it features a “naked carbon” exterior which basically means the entire thing is visible carbon fibre. They call is KNC – Koenigsegg Naked Carbon.

    The car’s carbon body doesn’t have any lacquer, varnish or alternative coating covering its carbon fibre surfaces. The company is so set on the naked design that they even removed the thin layer of epoxy that normally covers the magic material. This was done by hand polishing and Koenigsegg notes this is a delicate process as even “one stroke too many will ruin the visible weave structure.”

    The manufacturer mentions that the Regera looks even more striking in this spec as it has a “more metallic graphite appearance as each graphite strand is now fully exposed.”

    Since there is no protective layer of epoxy, Koenigsegg says this actually benefits the Regera as the car is “much less sensitive to stone chips and sharp objects causing scratches.” The lack of material also decreases the overall weight by 20 kg compared to a painted example.

    According to CEO Christian von Koenigsegg, “It’s not unusual for a customer to specify their car with visible carbon fibre. It’s a beautiful material from a visual perspective and our customers love to show what the car is made from.” However, he went on to say naked carbon “takes the idea of visible carbon fiber to a whole new level, revealing a beautiful luster and a very silky finish.”

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
