Joseph Velyan, a car enthusiast, stumbled upon a rare Koenigsegg Regera while dining with his family at a restaurant. With only 80 of these exclusive Swedish sports cars ever produced, valued at a staggering $4.65 million, the sighting left Velyan in awe.
Capturing a quick video of the extraordinary car, Velyan later made a startling discovery upon reviewing the footage – the driver appeared to be none other than Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. Altman, known for his affinity for luxury cars, including a McLaren and a Tesla, is no stranger to the world of high-performance vehicles.
The video of Altman cruising in the Koenigsegg Regera, a vehicle renowned for its exceptional speed capabilities, raised eyebrows as it showcased the tech mogul in a setting typically reserved for car shows or racetracks, not a bustling street in Napa, California.
While tech moguls like Altman often opt for more discreet modes of transportation, the allure of the rare Koenigsegg seems to have captivated Altman, drawing attention from both car enthusiasts and onlookers alike. The distinctive all-white paint job of the car in the video suggests it may be linked to a San Francisco owner, as per the Egg Registry blog.
Despite occasional scrutiny over displays of wealth, particularly from tech figures, reactions on platforms like TikTok have been largely positive, with users expressing admiration for Altman and his prized possession. From helping students with their studies to cruising in a high-end supercar, Altman’s choice of wheels has sparked a mix of curiosity and admiration among spectators.
