Specifications
The Gemera is the company's first four-seater car.Powertrain
The hybrid power train uses a pair of updated hot-V variants of the 5.0-litre twin-turbo HV8 from the Jesko. The HV8 powertrain has a combined power output of and of torque when the engine runs on E85 fuel. The HV8 engine is mated to a 9-speed Light Speed Tourbillon Transmission, a modified version of the 9-speed Light Speed Transmission found in the Jesko; while the I3 engine was mated to a direct drive.Electric motors
Three electric motors are included, one for each rear wheel with and 1000 Nm each and the Dark Matter motor on the front axle with 600 kW and 1250 Nm.The Dark Matter motor is in diameter and thick, for a total weight of. It uses a "raxial flux" design; an axial flux design complemented by a smaller radial flux component to flatten the torque response curve and reduce torque ripple. It uses carbon fiber to minimize weight for the rotor, stator, and housing. It is a six-phase motor instead of the conventional three-phase design.
It comes with an 850V 14 kWh battery pack.
Wheels, brakes and tyres
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 Michelin Cup 2R, 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 ventilated ceramic rotors with 6-piston calipers, while the rear brakes feature ventilated ceramic discs with 4-piston calipers, while the car features electric brake boosting.
Other features
The Gemera is Koenigsegg's first all-wheel-drive model and 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.A notable design feature of the Gemera is the lack of a B-pillar and two large dihedral synchro-helix actuation doors which open forward to allow easier access to the leather upholstered four-seater cabin. Interior features include four heated and four cooled cup-holders, driver assistance systems, four touchscreens, 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.
In addition, the 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. When complete, the Koenigsegg factory will total over.
