Back in 2020, Koenigsegg announces Gemera, a four-seat grand tourer with the “Koenigsegg Automatic Torsion Synchronous Drive Door” which Koenigsegg calls the “Mega-GT.” It uses a 3-cylinder, 2.0-liter, twin-turbo engine that makes 600 horsepower, and when combined with the three electric motors, the Gemera makes 1,700 horsepower. Why is a family of four? Are not Want to launch yourself to 60 mph in less than two seconds?
Like most things Koenigsegg builds, the Gemera is a vehicle that sounds like it only exists in a video game but somehow actually works in the real world. But if you look at the specs and think to yourself, “Actually, that doesn’t seem like enough power,” then we have some good news for you.
According to the Egg Registry (a real Koenigsegg website, not an artificial insemination company), at the opening ceremony of the plant that will build the Gemera, Koenigsegg announced that it will also be powered by a V8 engine from Jesko bearing back power to the combined engine. total output of 2,300 hp and 2,028 lb-ft of torque.
However, upgrading from an inline three to a V8 will cost you quite a bit of money. It is said to be a $400,000 option. But you also get Koenigsegg’s 9-speed light-speed gearbox trick, so it’s pretty neat. Besides, if you’re buying a Koenigsegg, what’s the other $400,000?
You can imagine how disappointed your kids would be if they found out they could have been in the back seat of a 2,300-horsepower car all that time, but you insist on a discount and just buy the 1,700 hp version? With a three-cylinder? Once they have access to their trust fund, good luck getting them to talk to you again.
