The Koenigsegg Gemera is a limited production four-seat plug-in hybrid grand tourer to be manufactured by the Swedish automobile manufacturer Koenigsegg. It was unveiled on 3 March 2020 at an online broadcast by Koenigsegg at the cancelled Geneva Motor Show.[4][5]

Specifications[]

The Gemera is the first four-seater car built by Koenigsegg and the first to be powered by a compact engine weighing only 70 kg (150 lb). The engine is so small because it is a camless piston engine, the first such engine announced for a production car. Called the Tiny Friendly Giant (TFG), it displaces 1988.25cc and has two turbos and three cylinders[a] driving the front wheels and charging the batteries. It is rated at 590 hp (440 kW) at 7500 rpm, with a redline at 8500 rpm, and 600 N⋅m (443 lb⋅ft) of torque from 2000 rpm to 7000 rpm. There are also three electric motors, one for each rear wheel with 500 bhp and 1000 Nm each and one on the crankshaft with 400 bhp and 500 Nm to power the front wheels; these combine to give 1,100 horsepower (820 kW) of electric power; together with the engine this gives a combined peak output of 1,268 kW (1,700 hp; 1,724 PS) and 3,500 N⋅m (2,581 lb⋅ft) of torque (maximum torgue 11,000 N⋅m (8,113 lb⋅ft) at 4000 rpm).[6] These outputs are produced when the engine runs on E85 fuel, but it can run on any major fuel from E100 to standard gas.[7] The engine also features cylinder deactivation and claims to be 20 percent more fuel efficient than a typical four-cylinder engine of the same displacement.[8]

The range on the 54 MJ (15 kWh) battery pack is claimed to be 50 km (31 mi) and while in hybrid mode the range extends to 1,000 km (621 mi).

Being the first all-wheel-drive model, the Gemera has all-wheel steering and torque vectoring. In line with other Koenigsegg models, the chassis has a carbon fibre monocoque with aluminium sub-structures. The car features electronically adjustable ride height and a titanium exhaust system manufactured by Akrapovič.

The main design feature of the Gemera is the lack of a B-pillar and two large dihedral doors which open forward to allow easier access to the leather upholstered four-seater cabin. Creature comforts include four heated and four cooled cup-holders, driver assistance systems, four touchscreens (two 13-inch central touchscreens along with two additional screens for the side and rear view cameras), infotainment system for the front and rear passengers, front and rear wireless phone chargers, Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi connection, a three-zone climate system, electrically adjustable seats and a premium audio system with 11 speakers. Koenigsegg announced that production will be limited to 300 cars.[9][10]

Performance[]

The Gemera has a claimed top speed of 400 km/h (249 mph), acclerating from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 1.9 seconds, with a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph) in electric mode.[4][5][10]
