Few cars promise as much as the Koenigsegg Gemera. At the launch of the concept, the automaker said it would produce 1,700 hp (1,268 kW) and seat four along with their luggage. Now, we know that reports from earlier this month promising 2,300 hp were right and Christian von Koenigsegg himself is about to explain how.

Packaging the Gemera sounds like an impossible task. An electrified V8 powertrain, seating for four full-sized adults, and cargo space for luggage is a combination only seen on SUVs. This time though, it somehow fit into a mid-engine two-door supercar silhouette. To accomplish that, Koenigsegg re-engineered a number of components and invented others.

Its infamously cool LightSpeed Transmission was flipped over to create what it calls the Tourbillon Transmission. “We could not resist exploring the possibility of incorporating these remarkable features and benefits into the Gemera production model, leading us down an exciting new development path — the Light Speed Tourbillon Transmission (LSTT),” explains Christian.

Adding to the innovation, Koenigsegg developed a new Radial Flux E-motor it calls Dark Matter. As the world’s first six-phase automotive-grade E-motor, it develops 800 hp (596 kW) and 921 lb-ft (1,250 Nm) of torque. Buyers get the choice of combining the Dark Matter motor with either the Tiny Friendly Giant, a three-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine, or Koenigsegg’s 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 mostly borrowed from the Jesko.

We say mostly because the standard V8 from the Jesko wouldn’t really fit so Koenigsegg reworked the turbos and the exhaust into a “hot-vee” configuration. As a result, the exhaust exits out of the rear decklid and total power is brought up to 2,300 hp (1,715 kW) and 2,028 lb-ft (2,750 Nm) of torque.

Of course, the TFG isn’t really a slouch unless you’re comparing it to its big brother. It’ll make a very modest 1,400 hp and 1,364 lb-ft (1,850 Nm) of torque. Those are still astonishing figures for any vehicle that looks like this, fits four people, and carries all of their luggage. We can’t wait to see one fully loaded in action on a track somewhere.
