From the Koenigsegg Gemera Press Release:
"As the world's first 4seater Megacar, defined by its aweinspiring power of over 1 megawatt, the Gemera was already a striking feat of engineering. However, the Client Specification version takes it even further with pioneering advancements.

However, during the development process, the Light Speed Transmission (LST) was introduced in the acclaimed Jesko, which delivers unparalleled excitement and performance. “We could not resist exploring the possibility of incorporating these remarkable features and benefits into the Gemera production model, leading us down an exciting new development path — the Light Speed Tourbillon Transmission (LSTT),” explains Christian.

To complement the engine and the LSTT, the R&D team has also developed the "Dark Matter" Emotor – an 800 hp, 1250 Nm patentpending Raxial Flux Emotor that is an evolutionary leap in electric propulsion, representing the world's most powerful automotivegrade Emotor with 6phase technology. One Dark Matter is now paired with the LSTT, instead of 3 Quarks Emotors with the Direct Drive system. This makes the drivetrain lighter, smaller, and even more engaging. The LSTT fourwheel drive system with fourwheel torque vectoring can be powered by either the 800 hp Dark Matter Emotor or the twinturbo TFG, or a combination of the two, resulting in a maximum output of 1400 hp and 1850 Nm.

The Client Specification Gemera not only retains its inherent qualities but also adds the lightness and responsiveness LST in the form of the LSTT. “We added 'Tourbillon' to the name of the LST, as this mechanism represents the automotive equivalent of a highend Swiss watch and is simply beautiful,” explains Christian von Koenigsegg.

Even so, we have yet another thrilling announcement—the Koenigsegg Gemera HV8 (Hot V8) version. The HV8 elevates the Gemera beyond any Hypercar or Megacar and takes everything to the next level. Before we came up with the LSTT, it was impossible to believe we could fit a midengined V8 configuration in the Gemera, given the large occupant space in comparison to the compact size of the Gemera.

However, the layout of the LSTT allowed us to do it. To make it happen, we had to convert the Jesko V8 into a socalled Hot V8 where the exhaust exits at the top center, but otherwise, it is very similar to the Jesko engine. With this new engine configuration, the Gemera boasts an astounding 1500 hp from the HV8 in addition to the 800 hp provided by the Dark Matter Emotor, resulting in a total of 2,300 hp and 2,750 Nm of torque – a new world record for a production car.

"The Gemera HV8 is not only the most powerful and extreme production car on the planet Earth, with an astonishing 1,11 hp per kg, but it is also the most practical and userfriendly sports car ever created. Its incredible response, handling, engine sound, crisp transmission, spacious interior, and fourwheeldrive systems combine to create an unprecedented and unparalleled driving experience, ready to set numerous records of performance around tracks and in straight lines. We are extremely proud to have brought the Gemera HV8 to life and very much look forward to delivering this new level of performance and technology to our esteemed clients and fans," says Christian."
