Koenigsegg Gemera with 2.0L 3-cylinder engine is not happening, clients prefer the V8

KOENIGSEGG surprised the world by announcing the Gemera engine with a three-cylinder. This is a departure from the usual V8 engines associated with the Swedish manufacturer.

The powerful 2.0-liter three-cylinder engine, combined with electric motors, did not attract many Koenigsegg customers. They are more interested in the V8-powered Gemera.

The CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg, revealed in an interview about the cancellation of this three-cylinder engine. He mentioned that they are not completely abandoning this technology.

Christian stated that they will continue to develop this engine, which may be used in the Gemera or other versions. However, the V8 engine seems to be more popular, unfortunately.

The 2.0-liter engine named Tiny Friendly Giant is part of a hybrid system consisting of the three-cylinder unit along with three electric motors. This package provides a total output of 1,700hp and 3,499Nm of torque.

The four-seater supercar can reach 100km/h in just 1.9 seconds and achieve a top speed of 400km/h.

For now, the Gemera will only be offered with a V8 engine, according to Christian, who is not surprised by its popularity.

The V8 5.0-liter twin-turbo engine produces 2,300hp and 2,750Nm of torque using E85 fuel. Production is scheduled to start at the end of this year, with deliveries expected to begin early next year.

Only 300 units are planned for production.
