Koenigsegg announced the final specs for making the four-seat Gemara. Shipments will start in 2025. The Gemara will now have a V-8 hybrid engine with 2269 horsepower and 2028 pound-feet of torque. Koenigsegg’s strange inline-three engine will still be available, and the company has made a new electric motor for the Gemera’s hybrid system. When Koenigsegg first showed off its stunning four-seat supercar with 1677 horsepower and an innovative turbocharged three-cylinder engine without camshafts in 2020, jaws dropped worldwide. Three years later, Koenigsegg has revealed the Gemera’s production specs, which include significant changes like a new powertrain that can be added as an option and boosts the car’s top speed to an incredible 2269 horsepower. Most production-related changes are made under the car’s skin, and only minor changes are made to the front body. The Gemera still has its low-slung, sleek body, which looks excellent with emerald green paint and gold wheels. The only other noticeable change in how the car looks is that it has regular side-view mirrors instead of the futuristic cameras on the first display car. The Light Speed Transmission (LST), first made for the two-seater Jesko hypercar, is one of the most important new features. But the Swedish car company decided to use the Jesko’s nine-speed automatic transmission on the Gemera instead of the Regera’s single-speed direct-drive transmission, which was a first for Koenigsegg. The communication was called the “Light Speed Tourbillon Transmission” (LSTT) in honor of the high-quality Swiss watches with precise mechanisms. It removes the flywheel and links the input shaft straight to the engine’s crankshaft. Koenigsegg says that the Gemera is even more fun to drive now that it can quickly shift gears. In the 2020 Gemera display car, an experimental 2.0-liter inline-three engine was linked to three electric motors. However, Koenigsegg has cut the number of electric motors in the production model. The Swedish performance experts’ new electric motor makes this possible. The new “Raxial Flux” engine mixes radial and axial flux and has the code “Dark Matter,” making 789 horsepower and 922 pound-feet of torque. Due to its high output, the Gemera only needs one e-motor, so it is lighter and takes up less room than before. An electric motor, a gas engine, or a mix of the two can drive the wheels of the Gemera. It is still an all-wheel-drive car, and all four wheels have torque vectoring. The engine makes 1381 horsepower and 1364 pound-feet of torque, less than what was first forecast for 2020, but still has a lot of power. Even though there are no specific numbers, Koenigsegg thinks that the new gearbox and weight loss have made the car faster and better in other ways. Koenigsegg offers a very appealing upgrade choice for owners of the three-cylinder hybrid unhappy with the loss of power. The Gemara will also have the 5.0-liter V-8 engine from the Jesko, which has two turbochargers. This 1479-horsepower eight-cylinder beast is still paired with a 789-horsepower Dark Matter e-motor, bringing the Gemera HV8’s total output to a mind-boggling 2269 horsepower and 2028 pound-feet of torque. Koenigsegg says that this makes the Gemera the most powerful production car. Since the LSTT was used, Koenigsegg has been able to offer the V-8. This is because the LSTT allows the V-8 to be put in the middle while leaving enough room for all four seats. The V-8 also needed to be changed from its Jesko design. Koenigsegg moved the exhaust outlets to the engine’s top center, calling it a “Hot V8.” Also, Koenigsegg’s headquarters in Ngelholm, Sweden, opened a new building yesterday, where the Gemera will be further developed and finally put together. The first ones will be made at the end of 2024 and sent out in 2025. We don’t know how much the HV8 version will cost or what extra costs it will have, but we do know that all Gemeras will cost several million dollars.
