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.[3] [4]
The Gemera is the first four-seater car built by Koenigsegg. It was announced that it would be powered by a compact engine weighing only . The engine was so small because it was supposed to be a camless piston engine using Koenigsegg's Freevalve technology, the first such engine announced for a production car. Called the Tiny Friendly Giant (TFG), the three-cylinder engine was specified to displace 1988.25 cc, have two turbos and drive the front wheels while also charging the batteries. It was rated at 590hp at 7500 rpm, with a redline at 8500 rpm, and 6000NaN0 of torque from 2000 to 7000 rpm.
There are also three electric motors, one for each rear wheel with 500hp and 1000 Nm each and one on the crankshaft with 400hp and 500 Nm to power the front wheels; these combine to give 1100order=outNaNorder=out of electric power; together with the engine this gives a combined peak output of 1700hp and 35000NaN0 of torque (maximum torque 110000NaN0 at 4000 rpm).[5] These outputs are produced when the engine runs on E85 fuel, but it can run on any major fuel from E100 to standard gasoline.[6] The engine was also said to feature cylinder deactivation and claimed to be 20 percent more fuel efficient than a typical four-cylinder engine of the same displacement.[7]
The range on the 850V 14 kWh battery pack is claimed to be 31mile and while in hybrid mode the range extends to 10000NaN0.
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 800hp and 1250 Nm.
In July 2024 Christian von Koenigsegg said that the three-cylinder powertrain using the Tiny Friendly Giant had been cancelled and the technology shelved for now. [8] An updated hot-V variant of the 5.0-litre twin-turbo HV8 from the Jesko, offered initially as a $400,000 option, would be the only option. The HV8 powertrain has a combined power output of 2300abbr=onNaNabbr=on and 27500NaN0 of torque[9] 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.
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 4101NaN1 ventilated ceramic rotors with 6-piston calipers, while the rear brakes feature 3951NaN1 ventilated ceramic discs with 4-piston calipers, while the car features electric brake boosting.
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.[10] [11]
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.[12] When complete, the Koenigsegg factory will total over .
Gemera's I3 version has a claimed top speed of 400kph, accelerating from 0-100kph in 1.9 seconds, with a top speed of 300kph in electric mode.[11]
