The highlight of the canceled Geneva Motor Show earlier this month was undoubtedly the Koenigsegg Gemera that launched with a cutting-edge powertrain and a sexy design.
Tasked with bringing the Koenigsegg Gemera to life was Koenigsegg head designer Sasha Selipanov and in a series of Instagram posts, the designer has provided the world with an in-depth look into the design process of the hybrid four-seater.
Selipanov started his work by looking at the original Koenigsegg CC prototype created way back in 1994 and adopted some similar facial lines across the fascia of the Gemera. The designer has also shared images showing some of the very first ideas for a four-door car that Christian von Koenigsegg thought up many years ago.

One particularly interesting Instagram post you’ll find below shows five different iterations of Gemera lined up alongside each other in the virtual world, showing the minor design tweaks that were made over time, particularly to the car’s front end.
In a recent interview published on the Koenigsegg website, Selipanov discussed the Gemera’s design in detail.
“It was vital to capture the essence of the megacar such as its stance, drama and athleticism, and to leave out the fact that it’s a four-seater. That aspect should be experienced as a complete surprise,” he said. “So, when you see the Gemera driving down a road, the first thought that comes to mind is, ah – that’s an extreme mid-engine performance car – with two seats. Then as the Gemera pulls up, its massive B-pillar-less doors fly open – just then and not before it becomes apparent that it’s actually a true four-seater for four fully grown individuals. That’s the surprise factor. It’s a have-your-cake-and-eat-it kind of car.”
