Koenigsegg, the tiny Swedish manufacturer of mega-expensive,
mega-exclusive and mega-powerful supercars are expanding its lineup into
four-seat performance cars with the Gemera, a gasoline-electric hybrid with the powertrain that generates a claimed 1,700 hp.
Everything about the Gemera screams exotic. The body is
carbon fiber; the engine is a camless, 2.0-liter three-cylinder rated at 600
hp; and there are three electric motors, two driving the rear wheels and one
driving the front, with a combined output of 1,100 hp.
Koenigsegg says the car can go 0-100 kph in1.9 seconds and
reach a top speed of more than 400 kph (about 250 mph).
The interior features a full array of creature comforts,
connectivity and infotainment hardware, including four cold and four warm
cupholders, front- and rear-seat entertainment displays, wireless phone
chargers, Wi-Fi and more.
"Ultimate performance has belonged to the world of
two-seaters with very limited luggage space -- until now," Koenigsegg CEO
Christian von Koenigsegg said in a statement. "The Gemera is a completely
new category of the car where extreme mega car meets spacious interior and ultimate
environmental consciousness. We call it a Mega-GT."
The company says production of the Gemera will be limited to
300 cars. No word yet on pricing, but it is likely to be more than $1 million.
