Koenigsegg Gemera: The Supercar Gamechanger
It’s been pretty busy since the onset of novel Coronavirus and we all have been told to stay Indoors…
Obviously to save our lives, but this decision led to the cancellation of many major events slated to happen in the recent past, even the Tokyo Olympics has been pushed to 2021, is there anything bigger than that, I don’t think so.
Since, all of this was happening we had something interesting going on in the Automotive world. As the Geneva Motor show was called off at the very last moment, some automakers had already set up their stalls and were ready to pull off the show.
One of those affected automakers was Koenigsegg slated to make a few reveals. The visionary Christian Von Koenigsegg was pretty determined to his launch and decided to go ahead full throttle with his event at the Show venue and held a small regional gathering to reveal his companies creations.
There were two launches at the event: The updated version of last years Jesko, The Absolut and the all new Gemera.
Gemera was the really something ground-breaking for the supercar industry. It was something no one would have ever wondered of.
It’s a two door-four seater 1700hp no compromise supercar.
Yes, you read it right a 4 door-1700hp car with loads of space to hold 4 average grown-ups with their luggage and still do 0–60mph in staggering 1.9 seconds, all thanks to its tri-motor and a 2.0 litre 600hp 3-cylinder engine hybrid drivetrain.
“The name Gemera means To give more. It’s a fully functional GT without diluting the essence of a full Mega car. For many years I wanted to create a vehicle which could carry a whole family at mind-boggling speeds, but that was not possible with the technology around 15 years back but today we have been able to do it.” — Christian Von Koenigsegg
Slated to be launched in 2022 this vehicle has a lot to offer and Koenigsegg has made it possible with it’s complicated Engineering practices.
Features
It has ample legroom and headroom for all the four occupants and the car is well-equipped with features. The tilting driver’s display is still intact and the panoramic sunroof extends along the roofline.
The vehicle is slated to have 2 touchscreens whose dimensions are not yet finalized. Surely the interiors look pretty impressive.
Even the cupholders have amazing tech built into them. The cupholders are equipped with Peltier elements which help to cool a cup in one holder and heat the other one. This helps the riders enjoy cold and hot beverages side-by-side. It seems to be a pretty cool feature though.
Drivetrain
The drivetrain consists of 3 Electric Motors and a 2.0L Engine, which makes it a wickedly fast hybrid.
Two of these motors are directly powering the rear wheels with 500hp and 1000Nm of torque output. The third motor and the 2.0L engine are together producing 1000hp and 1500Nm of Torque powering the front wheels via a power shaft, combined with the hydraulic clutch at the front making torque vectoring possible at all the wheels.
The Engine is termed as TFG(Tiny Friendly Giant), Tiny because of it’s engine displacement, friendly Giant because of the power delivery is enormous for any engine.
The vehicle can run with zero carbo footprint as the Engine can run on eco-friendly biofuels due to it’s best in class FreeValve technology developed by Koenigsegg in-house.
Gemera has Four wheel steering, Torque vectoring enabled at all wheels and All wheel drive system. It can go whatever way the driver wants.
“It’s just like a missile ready to take on the roads in whatever way you want.”
