  • 2007 Ferrari F430 formerly owned by Donald Trump - Image via Auctions America

    Engineering Explained returns to correctly answer why the Koenigsegg Regera doesn’t have a transmission. Bad math. It happens to the best of us, even our friend Jason Fenske, the host of the channel.

However, Jason returns in this new video to correct himself. Still using the power of math, Jason states that the deciding factor in understanding if the engine and electric motors can provide...
