Gemera [Official] Koenigsegg Gemera (a.k.a. 4-door Koenigsegg?)

How many people need 4 cup holders for the front seats??

Cold: Soft drink
Hot: Cup of fries

On a weekly basis, the average American eats at least one meal in a car.

Should have had the CC850 manual gearbox instead of those cupholders. Sheesh.

Konigseggs do nothing for me. I admit I’ve never seen one IRL but I’ve not been impressed from all the pics/ articles etc I’ve read.

That said, I’ve seen a P1 and a Huyara together, a Chiron and a Huyara together and the P1 and the Chiron were way more desirable.. A Utopia on the other hand would be quite something to behold.

These boutique manufacturers exist but do hardly anything to give me the fizz. I might be old school in my thinking over here but if I’m spending that much money I’d rather have a product from a big name brand like VW/ Daimler/ BMW etc that do all of the requisite testing before bringing a product to market…

Finally I met a single human just like me lmao. God bless you. Koenigseggs are a hit or miss with design too. That Jesko is atrocious and doesn't have any sort of elegance to it. The "Attack" is the track focused one, with the big wing but people who've driven it said its more comfortable than the Absolut but even the Absolut which Christian said is a "GT version of the Jesko" looks nothing like a GT car at all. + The build quality is extremely subpar, a friend of a friend has a CCX that is consistently in Sweden. The Chiron, for example, often joked about that its heavily influenced by Volkswagen Group is actually built like a tank. The thing is made to go over 500k miles. The tourbillon, should also have the same exact type of build quality probably even better. Idk they're just quite minimalistic and don't carry the same beauty aspect a $3-5m car should have IMO but hey to each their own.

Then the CC850 wouldn't exist, it'd be redundant to even create the CC850 haha

As I’ve said elsewhere, if money was no object I’d have a Chiron Pur Sport, a Super Sport and a Mistral. Add a Carrera GT, a 918 spyder for good measure and top it off with an SLR 722 (just for that sound) and an Utopia in a pastel color and I’d die a happy man

The Gemera and CC850 would still be vastly different car if they had the same gearbox. Your comment makes no sense, and why don't you just go hate Koenigsegg in another corner of the internet?

Or are you just one of these sad fanboys who hate them for being faster than your favorite brand.........and quite frankly anything else??

Speaking of the CC850 BTW......the best looking new hypercar atm. Something else the fanboys can't seem to stand. Tough times.

Nah not really, the gearbox being different is the only thing that would be different compared to a Jesko and CC850 outside a different body. The engine is the same. Suspension setup is practically similar. That doesn't warrant the same car. Christian said in his own interview with Top Gear the CC850 is a homage to the Jesko lmaoo but go off bra

So a Purosangue and 12 Cilindri are the same car too then. Ok, got it!

3 cylinder is no more.

The World Won't Get a Three-Cylinder Koenigsegg Because Rich People Are Lame

The "Tiny Friendly Giant"-equipped Gemera would've made 1,400 horsepower. But the V8 crowd always gets its way.

No rich people wanted to pay $1+m for a three cyclinder, who'd have thunk it?

If they weren't given a v8 option I'm sure they would have bought the 3 cylinder.

I'm not so sure. They likely changed it because the customers didn't want a three pot and weren't going to order one.

 

[Centurion]

No one wants to be a beta tester by buying a 3pot variant with an engine that might severely struggle when the car is low on battery. Furthermore it’s not like a customer of a $1-2m car need to save fuel on a vehicle which will likely do less than 2000 miles per year.

 

[iamlegend007]

It's also a production series car even though limited. First question anyone who comes across the car in person will ask the owner, 'V8? V12? V10? V16?'. Imagine you replying "3 cylinder" Lol. If this was a 1 off technological showpiece then someone would bid for it just to own a piece of history and engineering masterpiece. This car should've been a V8 from the beginning. I read that the brand is making a 'more affordable' supercar, so hopefully the engineering/R&D behind the 3 cylinder can be applied there.

Alternatively they could consider selling the designs of the engine to another car manufacturer.

"That technology is still interesting, we’re still working on it,” he added. “We might eventually do it in the Gemera one day in some version."

Tell us when it's done.

How many Koenigsegg factory tours has JWW done by now? Like 15? If we put him and Shmee together, it's probably in the hundreds.
