Koenigsegg has released an exciting new video that gives viewers a deep dive into the inner workings of their groundbreaking Gemera hypercar. In the video, founder Christian Koenigsegg takes us through the powertrain and driveline at the company’s Gripen Atelier facility, showcasing the engineering marvels behind this multi-hundred-mile-per-hour machine.
At the heart of the Gemera is a turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine, capable of producing a staggering 1,500 horsepower. This formidable power is transferred through a nine-speed multi-clutch automatic transmission, designed to deliver lightning-fast gear shifts and an incredibly smooth driving experience. Adding to the Gemera’s impressive performance credentials is the Dark Matter e-motor, which contributes an additional 800 horsepower, making the car a hybrid powerhouse with a combined 2,300 horsepower from both power sources. This integration of internal combustion and electric power is a testament to Koenigsegg’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of hypercar technology, offering both raw performance and advanced hybrid efficiency.
Christian Koenigsegg walks through the car’s innovative driveline, demonstrating how the company’s proprietary technologies have been integrated into the Gemera to optimize both performance and driving dynamics. The Gemera, which aims to redefine the hypercar experience, is a stunning example of how Koenigsegg continues to innovate in the automotive world, blending speed, power, and cutting-edge engineering.
