No one who buys a hypercar actually needs a hypercar. They're wonderful exercises in excess.

Coming up with new features to add to such cars is probably challenging, but Koenigsegg has a great one for the Regera. The Swedish hypercar maker showed it off on Facebook yesterday—it's a need, a want, and completely unnecessary. [See update below]

Koenigsegg calls it "Autoskin," and as far as we're aware, it's the first company to offer the option of fully-robotized body panels. Each component can be opened individually, or they can all be opened at the same time using "Show Mode."

Presumably, if you own a Koenigsegg Regera, you'll want to show it off pretty regularly, so it's a feature that makes sense. Luckily, it doesn't add too much weight. Koenigsegg claims it adds fewer than 5 kilograms to the Regera's weight.

There is, however, no mention of how much it will cost one one of those robotic panels inevitably breaks at some point. But if you're buying a Regera, that probably doesn't bother you too much.

Update: Koenigsegg released a longer video today that includes a better explanation of why it added the Autoskin feature to the Regera.
