I Was Wrong - Why The Koenigsegg Regera Has No Transmission

Why The Koenigsegg Regera Only Needs One Gear Ratio Koenigsegg Regera No Trans Part 1 - Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - The original video (link above) is partially incorrect. It is not correct to add resistance to the normal force on the rear tires to determine if the wheels can spin. A vehicle sitting stationary in strong headwind could still do a burnout (assuming the headwind doesn't create a bunch of downforce). The only thing that matters for spinning tires is whether or not you can exceed F = u*N (the maximum force the tires can apply, based on available traction). N, however, gets a bit complicated, and is dependent on at least four factors: 1. Weight distribution. 2. Load transfer due to acceleration. 3. Downforce on the car. 4. Load transfer due to wind resistance. Ignoring aerodynamics, the vehicle needs to exceed a rear wheel force of 2368.7 lbs ( kN) to spin the tires, regardless of vehicle speed. Because the engine alone can cr
