- The Koenigsegg Gemera is a four-door hypercar with a hybrid powertrain that delivers 2,300 horsepower and 2,028 pound-feet of torque.
- Koenigsegg first unveiled the Gemera back in 2020.
- 300 examples will be built, and all are already pre-sold.
If you’ve forgotten about the Gemera, we wouldn’t fault you. The Swedish four-passenger hypercar from Koenigsegg was first unveiled back in 2020. It’s finally heading to production now.
While their vehicles move incredibly fast, production at Koenigsegg moves a bit more slowly. Still, the company recently expanded its production line, allowing the Gemera to inch closer to customer delivery dates.

Koenigsegg, posting to its Facebook page, stated that the Gemera line is up and running alongside the assembly of the CC850. Both are soon to be joined by the Sadair Spear. Gemera buyers are sure to be excited by this news, since they’ve been waiting at least six years to get to this point.
While the wait is long, the car’s eventual driving dynamics are sure to be amazing. This is, after all, a car Koenigsegg calls a Mega-GT. Power comes courtesy of a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 and a trio of electric motors.
The combined output is rated at a breathtaking 2,300 horsepower and 2,028 pound-feet of torque. Each of the electric motors at the back produces 500 hp. Up front, the Dark Matter motor can deliver 800 hp on its own. It’s not just a cool name, but an amazing bit of engineering.
Koenigsegg uses carbon fiber to reduce the weight of various components of the Dark Matter motor. The total weight is just 86 pounds.
All of the power is sent to all four wheels courtesy of a nine-speed gearbox dubbed the Light Speed Tourbillon Transmission.
The Gemera is Koenigsegg’s first four-passenger vehicle. And if you bring your family along for a drive, they’ll likely be screaming at you to slow down once they catch their breath.
The Gemera should go from 0 to 60 mph in under two seconds. The top speed will be well above the 200 mph mark. And the 11-speaker sound system should help drown out the screams of those strapped into the other three seats.
Motor1’s Take: Yes, the Gemera has taken some time to enter production. The only people who might be upset are the 300 folks wealthy enough to have already ordered one.
Regardless, this car is a technical marvel, and we look forward to seeing what they’re capable of once unleashed into the wild.
