Koenigsegg Gemera

The Koenigsegg Gemera is a limited production four-seat plug-in hybrid grand tourer (or 2-door sports saloon) 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.

Specifications
The Gemera is the first four-seater car built by Koenigsegg. Its also powered by a compact engine weighing only 70 kg. 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), the three-cylinder engine displaces 1988.25 cc, has two turbos and drives the front wheels while also charging the batteries. It is rated at 590 hp at 7500 rpm, with a redline at 8500 rpm, and 600 Nm of torque from 2000 to 7000 rpm. There are also three electric motors, one for each rear wheel with 500 hp and 1000 Nm each and one on the crankshaft with 400 hp and 500 Nm to power the front wheels; these combine to give 1100 hp of electric power; together with the engine this gives a combined peak output of 1700 hp and 3500 Nm of torque (maximum torque 11000 Nm at 4000 rpm). These outputs are produced when the engine runs on E85 fuel, but it can run on any major fuel from E100 to standard gasoline. 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.

The range on the 850V 14 kWh battery pack is claimed to be 31 mile and while in hybrid mode the range extends to 1000 km.

On 7 July 2023 at the inauguration of the expanded factory in Ängelholm, Sweden, company founder Christian von Koenigsegg announced details for the production Gemera. A new single electric motor known as Dark Matter replaces the previous triple electric motor setup, and produces 800 hp and 1250 Nm. The three-cylinder powertrain has a combined power output of 1400 hp and 1850 Nm of torque. The 5.0-litre twin-turbo HV8 from the Jesko will also be offered as a $400,000 option. The HV8 powertrain has a combined power output of 2300 hp and 2750 Nm of torque when the engine runs on E85 fuel. HV8 engine is mated to LSTT - modified version of 9-speed Light Speed Transmission found in the Jesko. I3 engine is mated to Direct Drive single-speed transmission.

Wheels, brakes and tyres
The Gemera features standard forged aluminium centre lock wheels, with a size of 21" x 10.5" up front and 22" x 11.5" at the back. However, optional Aircore carbon fibre wheels are available.

The standard tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, while the car can be had with extra-grippy Michelin Cup 2R (still street legal), with both coming in a 295/30 ZR21 size for the front axle and in a 315/30 ZR22 size for the rear axle.

The front brakes use 410 mm ventilated ceramic rotors with 6-piston calipers, while the rear brakes feature 395 mm ventilated ceramic discs with 4-piston calipers, while the car features electric brake boosting.

Other features
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.

In addition, the said presentation introduced the optional Ghost package for the Gemera, consisting of an extended front splitter, S-duct, rear wing and other aerodynamic features.

In 2022, Koenigsegg announced plans to expand its operations with the construction of a new state-of-the-art factory in which the Gemera will be built. The new addition will contain a high-tech production & assembly line, a customer lounge, offices, spaces for events, as well as additional warehousing and pre-production spaces. When complete, the Koenigsegg factory will total over 30,000 sqm.

Performance
Gemera's I3 version has a claimed top speed of 400 kph, accelerating from 0-100 kph in 1.9 seconds, with a top speed of 300 kph in electric mode.
