Swedish automakers
usually conjure up images of station wagons and seatbelts, but Koenigsegg is working to change that. The hypercar
brand has been disrupting the country’s stereotypical politeness since it was founded in 1994 by its namesake, Christian von Koenigsegg. Its upcoming 2022 model, the Gemera, continues in that tradition. Koenigsegg’s first four-seater, the Gemera will be the brand’s first attempt at realizing its founder’s dream: to match megacar capability with enough practicality to make it a daily driver.

For supercars, hypercars, and megacars, the number of cylinders in an engine rarely falls under eight. The Koenigsegg Gemera has but three, but HotCars
says it “rumbles like a V8.” How does it achieve megacar status (at least 1,300 hp) with such a small engine? Well, it's helped along by three electric motors and Koenigsegg’s unique “Direct Drive” transmission. Together, the powertrain can produce a staggering 1,723 horsepower.
The Gemera’s design doesn’t disappoint, either. With a face that looks like the birthchild of Ferrari and Porsche, the car’s aerodynamics are helped along by vents found on the head- and tail-lights, giving it a unique look.
The Gemera—a Koenigsegg for life
Koenigsegg didn’t leave the practicality to the extra seats and storage. While every aspect of the car screams performance and style, it’s sacrificed little if anything for the sake of looks. Two perfect examples of this are the car’s doors.
Rather than requiring that seats be pulled up or risking bumped heads on wings, the automaker created its own Automated Twisted Synchrohelix Actuation doors which pivot up from the front of the vehicle. The result offers a car show party trick while also giving easy backseat access.
Koenigsegg added other practical bits rarely found in supercars as well, including navigation, wireless connectivity, eight cupholders, and backseat screens. Rearview and bird’s eye view cameras replace wing mirrors for increased visibility and decreased drag.

Buying a Koenigsegg Gemera
Koenigsegg plans to give the Gemera its largest production run to date. But don’t get your hopes up just yet—large by Koenigsegg standards brings unit numbers up to only 300.
If those production numbers don’t scare you off, the cost of owning a Gemera might. The car starts at $1.7 million. Car insurance
