The use of three YASA Axial Flux Motors in the Regera represent the most powerful hybrid electric design seen in a production car, providing up to 700bhp whilst significantly reducing vehicle weight. 

The Regera uses two direct drive YASA 750 Axial Flux motors delivering 1600Nm/360kW on the rear axle for traction, and a single engine speed YASA 400 Motor Generator Unit delivering 350Nm/160kW of electrical power generation, torque gap filling and starter motor functionality. 

Combined with the 1100hp, 5l twin-turbocharged V8 engine, it delivers more than 1500hp.

Koenigsegg Direct Drive (KDD) completely replaces the combustion engine’s (ICE) traditional transmission / gearbox. 

Instead, KDD provides direct drive to the rear axle from the ICE without the need of multitude gears or variable transmissions, all of which have inherently high energy losses. 

The three YASA axial flux electric motors are extremely power dense, making them a key ingredient for the KDD. 

Aside from providing extreme responsiveness from zero rpm, these electric motors also allow for torque vectoring, regenerative braking and energy conversion.
