It has made appearances at multiple Atlanta-area events including the Atlanta International Auto Show (March 2021) and the “Caffeine & Octane” car meet. When not being driven by the owner, Kejsare is often found on public display in the showroom at Motorcars of Atlanta, home of Koenigsegg Atlanta.

Name

7173 is named Kejsare, which is the Swedish word for Emperor. The car features a custom Kejsare crest on the C-pillar.

Exterior Spec

Kejsare’s exterior is a custom one-off paint, Imperial Orange, with an Exposed Carbon triple centre stripe and white striping and accents. This is the only Regera to feature a triple carbon centre stripe like this. Around the carbon stripes is white paint which continues over the roof and around the windshield. White accents adorn the front and rear of the car as well as white stripes which run down each side. This car was optioned with the Ghost Package, hence the carbon aerodynamic fins on the front, sides, and rear of the car. The car sports the Tresex AirCore Carbon wheels and the brake calipers are orange with black text.

Interior Spec

The interior of Kejsare is three colours of leather: Lava Orange, Snow, and Desiato. This orange/white/black combination matches the exterior spec. The dashboard and centre of the steering wheel are Lava Orange whilst the edges of the seats, the steering wheel, and the inside of the doors are Snow whilst the main centre part of the seats are Desiato Leather. The stitching is Lava Orange.

Trivia

In the summer of 2021, the story of Tyler Buck surfaced in the Koenigsegg community online. Tyler was a young boy, then 11 years old, from Benton, Arkansas with a love for fast cars and, tragically, terminal cancer. At the very top of his wish list was to experience a Koenigsegg. A call for a Koenigsegg owner to offer forward their car for Tyler to experience was put out by a family friend, and the Koenigsegg community delivered. Soon, the owner of Kejsare was made aware of the situation and offered an experience with the vehicle to fulfill Tyler’s wish. Just days later, Tyler and his family were flown on a chartered jet from Arkansas to Atlanta and treated to a car enthusiast’s dream day, including a Porsche track experience and a ride in the Regera! The generosity of the vehicle’s owner and the entire car community was heart-warming and will always be a special part of the history of chassis #7173.
