Still would have an Agera over the Regera, but both are pretty amazing cars

ABS or driver’s skill only to brake that hard without locking up the wheels to achieve those results?

Definitely some very advanced ABS & traction control.
Car also only has 1 gear & no transmission, IIRC.
From the Regera Wiki page:
quote:
Transmission Christian von Koenigsegg invented the Koenigsegg Direct-Drive System (KDD), and it was developed for the Regera by the Koenigsegg Advanced Engineering Team.[29] The KDD system effectively eliminates the need for a transmission and allows for pure EV (electric vehicle) mode. The Regera doesn't have a traditional multi-gear transmission but instead features a single-speed fixed-gear transmission, often called a direct-drive, with a 2.73:1 reduction ratio, meaning the crankshaft mounted on the ICE will rotate 2.73 times for every 1 time that the output shaft of the direct-drive mechanism will rotate.[30]
At speeds below 30 mph, the wheel shaft electric motors mostly propel the car through the use of a hydraulic coupling that lets the ICE and the crankshaft mounted electric motor slip. In reverse, only the wheel shaft electric motors propel the car.[10][31] Above 30 mph, the RPM of the crankshaft mounted electric motor and internal combustion engine are proportional to wheel speed through locking of the hydraulic coupling.[10] However, Christian von Koenigsegg described and demonstrated how the Regera features a steering-wheel-mounted paddle that simulates a traditional downshift by initiating slip of the hydraulic coupling connecting the crankshaft to the output shaft. This results in higher RPM of the ICE and the crankshaft mounted electric motor and therefore higher power at lower speeds than what would have been possible if the coupling would have been locked at all times.[32] Koenigsegg reported that the omission of a gearbox and addition of electric motors and battery only added 88 kg (194 lb) compared to what the Regera would have weighed with the same combustion engine but a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and no electric motors or batteries.[11][33]

These guys are at the top of the game, build some BA cars with unbelievably advanced tech, not simply redoing the same supercar stuff.
I was out in Nevada on a Motorcycle run, we were on a route that took us down the road they ran the Agera RS Koenigsegg and hit the record, thought we'd get there to see it as those things usually take some time with setup issues, wind, all the things that mess with timing runs.
They nailed the record on the first down and back pass....

^ My wife used to work for the company that the owner of the record car ran with his wife. Never got a chance to see the car, was delivered after she'd left working with them.
He supposedly had an Aston Valkyrie on order as well as a Regera.

The Rimac Nevera is the car I've been watching for the last year.
That thing has to be the most technologically advanced thing on x4 wheels.
1,914 hp and 1,741 lbf⋅ft of torque. It appears to be ungodly fast.

I would have thought this company would have gone out of business years ago. They make some incredible stuff but I’ve never seen me and don’t know a single person that owns one.
Ferrari’s are like Civics compared to these things.

Christian von Koenigsegg owns many patents, some of them here:
Without him, we wouldn't have the flex fuel engine or cylinder deactivation for starters. He has the luxury much like Dr. Don Panoz did inventing the nicotine patch that he can do what he wants for as long as he wants to.
