The Koenigsegg Gemera, which made its debut in March 2020, was initially announced to have a twin-turbocharged 2.0-liter three-cylinder engine with three electric motors, producing a combined 1,700 horsepower and 2,581 pound-feet of torque. However, Koenigsegg secretly revealed a second engine option: a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8. This V8 engine increases the Gemera’s power output to 2,300 horsepower and 2,028 pound-feet of torque when using E85 fuel. Choosing the bigger V8 engine instead of the three-cylinder mill adds $400,000 to the price of the four-seat supercar. The V8 engine is paired with Koenigsegg’s nine-speed Light Speed Transmission.
Aside from the new engine option, there are other changes to the Gemera. Koenigsegg has replaced the original show car’s cameras with traditional side mirrors. The reason for this change is that the use of cameras is not yet legal in all markets, including the United States.
The Gemera also offers an optional Ghost Package, which includes an extended front splitter, S-duct, rear wing, and other aerodynamic tweaks. However, due to modifications made to the car’s nose, the storage space beneath the hood is no longer available.
Additionally, Koenigsegg is undergoing a factory expansion which will include a new assembly area, customer lounge, experience center, offices, event space, showroom, retail spaces, and additional warehouses. The automaker is also building an on-site test track as part of the expansion.
