@Aliver87 It's not weird, it's what Konigsegg do. 1 gear, direct drive = less friction which means better acceleration and more efficient. The engine is no different, as it doesn't use cam belts or chains
Regera doesn't need transmission swap, it needs drivetrain swap. I remember driving it in Horizon 4 - it was VERY easy to lose control if you are not careful with acceleration.
The reason that adding the dedicated geartrain wasn't very effective at improving performance outside of top speed and braking is the absence of a torque converter. The 2.45 potential peak of a torque converter means that peak torque multiplication will never be an issue. And even with the dedicated geartrain allowing peak power to be achieved several times, the reduced efficiency loses of solely a torque converter appear to balance that out. However, the dedicated geartrain is lighter than the gearless "Koenigsegg Direct Drive" system because the viscous hydraulic fluid of a torque converter carries a Lot of extra weight. Also, the greater top speed of the dedicated geartrain is simple: more versatility with the equivalent final drive ratio in the highest over-drive gear (in this case, 7th gear).
Sure maybe in real life, but forza treats every car as if it has a manual with clutch. if the telemetry menu was open it would show the clutch slipping rather than a torque converter on the launch of the car. The real reason I suspect is due to the slight wheelspin where the car struggles to put down all the power, and how the car ingame is heavier with the 7 speed (Also the hybrid system helping out the direct drive more at low rpm). All of those things made the gap much closer than I initially thought it would be, and the car irl might be faster with direct drive due to what you mentioned.
I can't watch this for several hours, but I already hit the like button because I've wondered about this ever since you first tested other single-gear hypercars...
The regera just isn't nearly as competitive without the transmission swap, This was very needed. Keeping those massive turbos spooled at all times really does wonders for the car.
Nice detail. They managed to get the direct drive transmission act like in real life; it drones on a certain rpm like a CVT up until to a certain speed where the rpm will increase along with the speed. In the past Forza games it acted like a conventional automatic.
Mario is right, according to fh5 physics the more gears to u have, more engine brake you have in manual transmission, but of course doesn't make much sense, cause if you low to first gear in a 7 speed 1000hp car, you definitely brake everything
Didnt watch the full video but i noticed while messing with this car myself that each gear acts the same as the original "transmission" in the car, you will get the best results using 2 gears for the 1/4th and a 3rd gear to hit top speed, your first gear ofcourse tuned to give you the best launch. Even with. All those gears you could tune it to only use one of them and it will act like a normal regera
@@wumbology72 They dont have the same engine lol how would they sound the same ? And i did drive the one and the regera it has nothing to do at sounding lvl.
@@alexgreg152 i also have the game and they literally all have the same engine sound with the jesko being slightly different pitched but the same sound. The agera rs, one to 1, cc8s, and regera all have an identical engine sound, with the agera rs and cc8s revving a bit lower. The only different sound is the ccgt.
i remember doing the transmission swap from one:1 mod for regera in dev version in fh3 cuz i didnt think they would ever do it themselves i guess i was wrong
The only reason why Koenigsegg made the regera with one gear was for top speed only. Makes sense when trying to beat Bugatti's top speed, but otherwise it's completely destroyed in everything else.
The founder of the company said the real reason was for the smoothness of an electric with the top end power of a 1000hp v8. He got the idea after driving a tesla and enjoying the instant acceleration. They have the jesko for top speed, the regera is more of a luxury cruiser than a top speed breaker.
Do you mean quicker? Quicker is about acceleration. Faster is about velocity. Only low-end acceleration sucks. Mid-end - not so much. Top-end makes no difference with 7 gear version.
So conclusion. Does it matter to swap to 7 gears in your regera? No not a lot if you are not going to drag race anyway. Just leave the original one in than it barely makes a difference at all. It also makes the car very unique.
Can we just talk about these gears super long 1st nonexistent 2nd and overall too short of gears cuz it maxed out not cuz no more hp cuz too short gears
Is it not stupid that you use completely different metrics in-game compared to the tests? It just doesn't seem right at all, choose one or the other not both smh

5:33 Imagine you're driving at 400kmph and some guy just flies by you.....
Feels so weird hearing and seeing a regera down-shifting. It just feels like it's not meant to be.
the irl Regera (as far as i know) has a feature where it can simulate downshifts
@Aliver87 youtube clips of Regeras driving exist...
@Aliver87 what argument?
@Aliver87 It's not weird, it's what Konigsegg do. 1 gear, direct drive = less friction which means better acceleration and more efficient. The engine is no different, as it doesn't use cam belts or chains
@Aliver87 Don't be a nob, some people are more familiar with exotic cars than you lad.
Regera doesn't need transmission swap, it needs drivetrain swap. I remember driving it in Horizon 4 - it was VERY easy to lose control if you are not careful with acceleration.
I like it to show off to people Im using RWD in S2.
Literally I can barely get it to take off because of it
It's called throttle control and that what happens when you drive over 1,000 rwd hp with a low weight
Mine’s not that bad I don’t understand
I think changing to anything other than the original drivetrain or engine is a sin unless your aiming to get the car into an insanely high class
dang, I cant believe the regera was faster. I thought the regera would be faster

Also with the 7 speed it's in the power band longer producing more speed then stock
It should only be a 1 speed
@@Sneakergod23 stock it is but in forza horizon 5 they added a feature that allows you to buy a gear box that has more gears
I mean, there's electric motor that really help on low power
But game being game, I can't expect more

I think it’s just the traction control
@Marco Orla no he's right, FH5 actually got it this time, the previous games it lugged around at low speeds.
@@chrisodell6107 opsie I mean launch control
@@chrisodell6107 in fh4 it was hilariously bad. When at slow speeds or lightly accelerating from a stop, it would basically have a seizure
5:36 lol that car be like: I believe I can fly
Forza physics more gears = better braking distance which would not be correct (more gears create more weight)
I think it's because with a shorter gear there Is more engine braking
@@V-Project maybe

But the gears can slow down faster than just this one stupid big gear
It feels wierd to see Regera shift
I've wating for 100 years to hear Regera shift
Hearing a regera shift gears is a nightmare
I think we need more gears for the red one
God damn, he's using the Forza Motorsport 4 music in this video, giving me nostalgia.
Thank you for answering my suggestion with this vid.
Almost as if staying in your max torque range is ideal.
The Whine of turbo or transmission whatever was literally fire in seven gear version 🔥🔥
Didnt watch the full video but i noticed while messing with this car myself that each gear acts the same as the original "transmission" in the car, you will get the best results using 2 gears for the 1/4th and a 3rd gear to hit top speed, your first gear ofcourse tuned to give you the best launch.

hearing the FM3 soundtrack just hit me in the feels :')
the forza motorsport 4 music in the vid made me cry
Love the FM4 OST in the background!
Swap on 10 gears and if you tune it right, it can go the top speed in reverse like in FH3
the regret with 7 gears won cuz it had top speed of 402kmh , and the one with 1 gear had top speed of 399-400kmh(in this video)
It's "Regera" not "regret"
Super vidéo plein de tests différents donc merci pour cette comparaison
I love the fact you chose Forza Motorsport 4 menu music
Holy crap the Forza Motorsport 4 music at the beginning took me back
So yes, if you can control wheel spin. Though with the 7speed you get to hear that glorious engine and turbo noises. So a better option lol
Eh there's like 7 koennigseggs in the game and they all sound the same, why not drive an agera if you want shifting?
@@wumbology72 They dont have the same engine lol how would they sound the same ? And i did drive the one and the regera it has nothing to do at sounding lvl.
@@alexgreg152 because it's forza and they all have the exact same engine sound with minor tweaks?

Idk why people would swap the trans… it’s not the fastest koenigsegg and the one gear trans is what makes it unique
Tuned Koenigsegg regera (7 gears) vs Koenigsegg jesko (9 gears)
Not even a Regera at this point with multiple gears, you don't mess with the charm it has.
200mph with a single gear is really a new technology, i can't imagine if compare side by side in real world :-)
Not really new. Regera has been like that since beginning. It's permanently locked to 7th gear.
Regera still has fastest 0-400-0 km/h time.
@@UltraCasualPenguin Tf you mean « locked in 7th »? It dosen’t have a transmission at all, it just has a torque converter
@@justindesrosiers3145 a torque converter connected to a set of gears that are the equivalent to the Agera R 7th gear.

Question: why a braking test??
@Yanshu it's the same car... He's comparing different gears that's all.
@Yanshu Yeah but why compare them when the only thing you've done is swap the transmission
@@anti-tryhard different weight
@@stormik Yeah I guess but It's still kind of pointless because you know the 7-ageara is gonna be slower by a little bit.
@Yanshu I don't know, he probably does it just because he's used to it
A Regera with gears is like a Lancia Delt S4 without the twin-charged setup, it just feels wrong…

No not at all lmao
Forza/T10/PGG not understanding how one of the most technologically advanced cars on the planet functions?
What else is new?
I wonder what happens when you put a 10 speed transmission in a Regera. Is it a Regera anymore?
Maybe not
Thanks 👍
Can't you change the gear ratios??
wait, turn 10 still have not fixed the exhaust issue? like wth.
When road racing I think 1 gear would be better as you don't need to care about shifting
i think so 9 gears or 8 gears would be enough for max speed i think so
Nice
The regera with gears just seems like a copy and f the Agera having just one gear makes it unique and I want it to stay unique
More gears keeps you in the power and better… who knew
ever heard of electric car
rn im tryna collect all the koenigseggs i just love koenigsegg lol
How are you so consistent without TCS and ABS?
The regera will always be faster with more gears, the power delivery from the one gear sucks in terms of acceleration.
Do you mean quicker? Quicker is about acceleration. Faster is about velocity. Only low-end acceleration sucks. Mid-end - not so much. Top-end makes no difference with 7 gear version.
Don’t show it to Koenigsegg himself
Can u download a video explaining to us how to fix the problems of fh4 demo ?
