Jay Leno takes the Koenigsegg Regera for a drive - video
…
After sampling the manic and electric Tesla Roadster, Jay Leno has returned to good ol' combustion power in the latest instalment of Jay Leno's Garage.
This week, he drives the Koenigsegg Regera with none other than Christian von Koenigsegg riding shotgun on the roads of Los Angeles.
It's not completely 'old school', though. Power in the Regera comes from a 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 partnered with three electric motors – one ahead of the crankshaft and two for each rear wheel.
Ford Motor Company has confirmed it will not be producing the new Focus Active crossover in the United States, opting to drop the high-riding hatchback altogether from its North American line-up after President Donald Trump imposed higher tariffs on Chinese-made products.
In April, the Blue Oval announced it would be culling its entire passenger car line-up bar the Mustang sports car and upcoming Focus Active crossover, as it turned its attention to SUVs and pickup trucks.
Ford has announced it will reveal the updated Transit range at the Hanover CV show, which commences September 20.
Several big announcements will be made at the event, including the launch of a new two-tonne Transit featuring mild hybrid technology – a first for the segment – along with the debut of the Transit Custom plug-in hybrid, which will launch sometime in 2019.
