The sports car’s interior is equipped with an infotainment system that includes a 9-inch touchscreen, which is said to offer superior touch performance and the capability for users to use multi-touch gestures. The system is compatible with Apple’s CarPlay, letting iPhone users connect their devices to their cars and access all of CarPlay’s features.

The Koenigsegg Regera is priced at $1,890,000 and the manufacturer says that only 80 of them will be produced.

Apple has announced a long list of automobile manufacturers that have agreed to include CarPlay in upcoming vehicles. So far, Ferrari is the only brand that has produced a car that is compatible with Apple’s service. Audi, Volkswagen, and Hyundai have all said CarPlay-compatible cars will be available in 2015.
