Apparently the ultra-rich want to cram not one, but three passengers into their 1000-plus-hp ultra-exclusive, ultra-expensive megacars. Or maybe the Swedish hypercar maker Koenigsegg is just assuming so, because the specialty automaker has announced its first ever four-seater, which churns up 1677 horsepower and launches from zero to 62 mph in a claimed 1.9 seconds.

Koenigsegg is the very definition of a niche company. Its products are known for having high-horsepower twin-supercharged or -turbocharged V-8s, but that's not the case with the Gemera. This four-seater is powered by a sequentially turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-three, which Koenigsegg nicknamed the "tiny friendly giant." It makes 592 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque and works in conjunction with three electric motors and Koenigsegg's single-speed direct-drive transmission. Together, these motors make 1677 horsepower and 2581 lb-ft of torque.

The three-banger doesn't even have camshafts. It uses Koenigsegg's Freevalve system that uses solenoids to activate intake and exhaust valves. Variable valve timing and lift has virtually no limits with Freevalve. This, along with cylinder deactivation, minimizes fuel consumption, meaning the three-cylinder is said to be 20 percent more fuel-efficient than a typical 2.0-liter four-cylinder.

Like other Koenigseggs, the Gemera's chassis consists of a carbon-fiber tub and aluminum sub-structures. Its ride height is electronically adjustable. The center-lock carbon-fiber wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, 21 inches in front and 22 inches in the rear.

New Koenigsegg Gemera is a four-seat hypercar with 1,700bhp

2020 Koenigsegg Gemera.jpg


Koenigsegg has launched a new, mid-engined grand tourer to rival the recently launched McLaren GT. Called the Gemera, it’s a four-seat, plug-in hybrid hypercar that can cover the 0–62mph sprint in just 1.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 248mph. Production will be limited to just 300 units.

The Gemera is powered by Koenigsegg’s in-house developed plug-in hybrid electric powertrain, which has a combined output of 1,700bhp and 3500Nm of torque. The system comprises a mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 2.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine (which produces 600bhp and 600Nm of torque by itself), a 16.6kWh battery pack and three electric motors – one for each rear wheel, and one for the front axle.

Koenigsegg has dubbed its small-yet-powerful three-cylinder petrol engine the Tiny Friendly Giant. The company says it has an estimated fuel consumption 15–20 percent less than a traditional 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with direct injection and a variable valve timing. Cold-start emissions are also 60 percent improved over a conventional engine.

The rest of the Gemera is as complicated as its powertrain, with an all-wheel torque vectoring system, independent rear-wheel steering, adjustable dampers, an electronically adjustable ride height and a set of enormous ventilated ceramic disc brakes.

Koenigsegg hasn’t scrimped on creature comforts in the pursuit of speed, though. Buyers get four heated and cooled cup holders, front and rear infotainment screens, front and rear wireless smartphone chargers, on-board WiFi and an 11-speaker stereo. There’s also a three-zone climate control system, four reading lights, and memory foam seats.
