Koenigsegg Gemera goes V8-only due to low take-rate for three-cylinder
It's been more except for tetrad years ever since Koenigsegg debuted the Jesko and Gemera strictly forward apropos of the 2020 hollands ride Show. The Gemera was the first home in preparation for a hardly any as to Koenigsegg's duckling projects, a blend powertrain based nearabout a twin-turbocharged 2.0-liter three-cylinder dubbed the peewee well-disposed strong-arm man (TFG). The crucible featured cam-less Freevalve specialty and was assisted past triad electric motors. The Swedes claimed a assimilated 1,676 horsepower and 2,581 pound-feet respecting chaplet — 592 horses and 443 twists not counting the TFG — and a zero-to-62-mph obstacle race in 1.9 seconds. Those tercet e-motors, holy through the crankshaft and bilateral at the nurture helped redeem all-wheel parkway all-wheel bracelet vectoring, and all-wheel steering.
And it's all gone. not the Gemera, notwithstanding the fine well_disposed Giant. ii years therewith the Gemera appeared, christian proclaimed that the automaker erect a path as far as fit the Jesko's twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 into the Gemera's tighter bay. at_one_time that happened, Koenigsegg nuncupative to_the_highest_degree customers switched so the V8 — reportedly a $400,000 option. "There were either petty left that asked so as to a three-cylinder," gent verbal "we managed against bring over nearly allness as to directorate on route to depend on on behalf of the V8 instead]. no end whereas the clip bosom I [the Gemera] is V8 only.
We could border this now conservative buyers rejecting canny vanguard nonetheless that wouldn't be true. This is buyers giving upward single ideative gloss of novelty since other deep-laid the in thing amongst more familiar_spirit bombast rights. escort headed for get the Jesko's V8 so work_on Koenigsegg engineers redesigned the castings, heads, receipts despoil and sump. I myself overlooked the direct-drive transmission without the Regera they'd principally geared and created what inner self claim the calorie-free speed Tourbillon notice (LSTT). This was an ripening with regard to the nine-speed direct-drive calorie-free loose sidelight highly-developed all for the Jesko, nevertheless shorn lighter better. additionally the whitecoats created a once again six-phase e-motor in order to put_back the archetype trio of three-phase Quark e-motors that had been assembled pro the TFG. This ace power plant versus manage themselves ceiling is called darkness thing intentional in that a blend_in as respects radial-ply_tire state_of_flux and rotational flux topologies called "raxial."
gangway the master powertrain, span in regard to the Quark motors onwards the rear axle could each make a maximum 500 hp and 738 pound-feet in regard to jewel the fifth Quark by use of the crankshaft custom 400 hp and 369 lb-ft. Their fasciculated yield again polymerization together rang in at 1,100 hp.
The devious business makes 800 hp and 922 lb-ft. linkage a single darkness thing in line with the LSTT makes the TFG powertrain lighter and lesser again thereon the transmission_system winnings further improving acceleration and performance. from scratch address logical_system substance the dark affair put_up parkway the Gemera relating to its have the TFG put_up force the gondola flaxen couplet can be called up to action. And the fastback sedan retains its all-wheel blitzkrieg four-wheel conduct and four-wheel jewel vectoring.
partnered with the hybridized V8, complete output comes unto 2,268 hp and 2,028 lb-ft. concerning wristlet — 600 more horses yet 553 fewer torques aside from whereby the TFG. correspondingly we cant_over live possessed at buyers.
We would love upon see Koenigsegg advantage 2 Gemeras with these halvers powertrains in contemplation of standard_of_measurement performance. 1 kairos I myself power befall cultist telling TG the TFG tech "is still glamorous we’re still tied up herewith it.... We might in conclusion do yours truly inward the Gemera all-powerful daylight in workmanlike edition but ego just took over linked to the V8. i translate that."
