Despite the cancellation of the Geneva International Motor Show 2020, the Swedish speed enthusiast Christian Van Koenigsegg did not miss the opportunity to start his latest crazy creation. In addition to a more powerful version of the Jesko, Koenigsegg unveiled the Gemera – a three-cylinder hypercar of 1,700 horsepower (1,268 kilowatts) with four seats. While the horsepower figure may be the front page, the latest Koenigsegg is full of surprises, including this strange fact: it has more cup holders than the average compact crossover.
Count them yourself. Eight beautiful carbon fiber cup holders, both front heated and cooled (!), To accommodate drinks for you and your three closest friends. Practical, right? That’s four more cup holders than what you get in a Nissan Rogue, two more than a standard Ford Escape, and is the number available in the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4.
But it does not stop there. Wireless charging of phones in the front and rear seats, Apple Carplay and three-zone air conditioning also make the cabin a little more pleasant on long journeys. Thanks to its intuitive layout, the Gemera also accommodates one carry-on baggage per passenger, with space for three in the trunk and one in the trunk. The Gemera is not classified as an Uber car, unfortunately, due to its two-door configuration. But with the doors that go up automatically, there is enough room for the two rows of passengers to get in and out easily.
Koenigsegg has fixed an issue that no one – literally not a person – has complained about: the cup holders and the cargo space in a hypercar. The Gemera’s mission is to bring “ultimate performance” to a more practical vehicle, and the car keeps that promise with a set of truly mind-blowing facts and figures.
Three electric motors combine to create 1,100 horsepower (820 kilowatts) supplemented by a 2.0-liter three-cylinder twin turbocharger adding 600 horsepower (447 kilowatts). The hybrid powertrain produces a truly astounding 1,700 hp, enough to propel the Gemera to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 1.9 seconds. Hopefully these cup holders will be effective. The powertrain is also potentially carbon neutral, with the ability to run on biofuels and electric power. To ensure an attractive driving experience, the Gemera also uses four-wheel drive technology, four-wheel torque vectorization and four-wheel steering.
Koenigsegg plans to build 350 copies of the “Mega GT” Gemera, for customers looking for a very fast road trip with several companions. And while we’re not exactly convinced that this grand limited series tourer will replace crossovers in the customer’s driveway, we love this idea.
