Check out the car with the world lightest paint job


the Swedish automaker raises the bar on what’s possible in the auto industry. The use of naked carbon fiber on a car isn’t entirely new. Koenigsegg has used it on its past supercars and hypercars to great effect The process of creating naked carbon is as complicated as it is meticulous. It doesn’t just end by creating carbon fiber, which itself is a process to create in its own right. Carbon fiber is made up of two materials, specifically polyacrylonitrile and rayon or petroleum pitch. These materials are organic polymers, which are characterized by long strings of molecules that are bound together by carbon atoms These carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are, by and large, aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber Koenigsegg didn’t just use the material on certain parts of the car as it has done in the past. The whole body of the car is made from naked carbon fiber, giving it a more metallic graphite appearance, thanks in large part to the exposed graphite strands that are now clearly visible on KNC Regera’s body without the naked carbon fiber body, the 1,500-horsepower and 1,475-pound-foot of torque hypercar is capable of sprinting from 0 to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds, 0 to 124 mph in 6.6 seconds, and 0 to 186 mph in 20 seconds.
