• Koenigsegg revealed the official manufacturing specification for the four-seat Gemera, with deliveries scheduled for 2025.
• The Gemera will now be accessible with a V-8 hybrid powertrain, churning out 2269 hp and 2028 pound-feet of torque.
• Koenigsegg will nonetheless provide the unorthodox inline-three engine, and the corporate additionally designed a brand new electrical motor for the Gemera’s hybrid element.

Jaws dropped world wide when Koenigsegg first took the wraps off the Gemera in 2020, with the dramatic four-seat supercar packing 1677 horsepower and an progressive turbocharged three-cylinder engine that does not function camshafts. Now, three years later, Koenigsegg has unveiled the manufacturing specification for the Gemera, bringing main modifications together with an optionally available new powertrain that bumps the headlining determine to a mind-bending 2269 hp.

A lot of the modifications for manufacturing are beneath the pores and skin, with solely minor tweaks to the entrance bumper. The Gemera nonetheless sports activities slippery, low-slung bodywork, which seems resplendent on this emerald inexperienced shade paired with gold wheels. The one different noticeable visible distinction are the actual sideview mirrors, which substitute the futuristic cameras on the unique present automobile.

Some of the vital updates is the inclusion of the Mild Velocity Transmission (LST), first developed for the two-seater Jesko hypercar. The Gemera was initially designed with the single-speed direct-drive transmission that Koenigsegg pioneered on the Regera, however the Swedish automaker determined to include the Jesko’s nine-speed computerized gearbox into the Gemera. Rechristened because the “Mild Velocity Tourbillon Transmission” (LSTT), referencing the mechanical precision of fancy Swiss watches, the transmission does away with the flywheel, with the enter shaft instantly linked to the engine’s crankshaft. This enables for very fast shifts, and Koenigsegg claims it makes the Gemera much more participating to drive.

The 2020 Gemera present automobile paired that experimental 2.0-liter inline-three with a trio of electrical motors, however for the production-spec automobile, Koenigsegg has simplified the powertrain. That is the results of a brand new electrical motor developed by the Swedish efficiency consultants. Dubbed the “Darkish Matter,” the brand new “Raxial Flux” (a mixture of radial and axial flux) motor produces 789 hp and 922 pound-feet of torque. This potent output means the Gemera now packs simply the one e-motor, decreasing weight and saving house versus the earlier setup.

The Gemera remains to be all-wheel drive with four-wheel torque vectoring, and might energy the wheels with the e-motor, the fuel engine, or a mixture of each. All advised, the powertrain spits out 1381 horsepower and 1364 pound-feet of torque—lower than initially touted in 2020 however nonetheless a mighty determine. Koenigsegg claims acceleration and different efficiency figures improved as a result of weight financial savings and new transmission, however did not provide concrete numbers.

For house owners upset by the three-cylinder-hybrid’s drop in energy, Koenigsegg is providing a really attractive improve. Together with the inline-three, the Gemera will even be accessible with the twin-turbo 5.0-liter V-8 from the Jesko. This 1479-hp eight-cylinder beast remains to be mated to a 789-hp Darkish Matter e-motor, sending output for the the Gemera HV8 (that means Sizzling V8) skyrocketing to 2269 hp and 2028 pound-feet of torque. Koenigsegg claims this makes the Gemera essentially the most highly effective manufacturing automobile.

Koenigsegg was solely in a position to provide the V-8 due to the adoption of the LSTT, which freed up sufficient house to squeeze within the V-8 amidships whereas nonetheless offering satisfactory room for all 4 seats. The V-8 additionally needed to be reconfigured from the setup within the Jesko, with Koenigsegg shifting the exhaust exits to the highest heart of the engine, therefore the title “Sizzling V8.”

Koenigsegg additionally opened a brand new facility at its headquarters in Ängelholm, Sweden yesterday, the place it is going to additional develop and later assemble the Gemera. Manufacturing is ready to kick off on the finish of 2024, with deliveries starting in 2025. There may be nonetheless no phrase on value or how a lot additional the HV8 mannequin will run, however all Gemeras will presumably value a number of tens of millions of {dollars}.
