The Koenigsegg Gemera already occupies an uncommon spot within the supercar world. For starters, it is precisely as uncommon and characterful because the Swedish firm’s different choices, together with the dihedral doorways and minimalist exterior design. However it’s additionally Koenigsegg’s first plug-in hybrid, its first automobile with all-wheel drive, and its first four-seater (in addition to considered one of only a few mid-engined four-seaters in historical past). However simply in case you are involved the Gemera is merely a spacious grand tourer – i.e., the supercar definition of a grocery getter – Koenigsegg will now supply the F10 aerodynamics package deal to offer it even higher efficiency.
The F10 Brings Undisclosed Modifications
Sadly, particulars are gentle on the Gemera’s new F10 package deal. The automaker introduced the equipment on social media Saturday morning, revealing the identical metallic-gold automobile it confirmed throughout Monterey {Car} Week cruising round WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca – though with out the custom-designed roof rack and modern cargo field seen within the video under. Koenigsegg merely copped that the F10 pack would deliver elevated downforce courtesy of a brand new aerodynamics package deal.
The obvious change is a set swan-neck rear spoiler on the decklid, which takes inspiration from the bygone Regera as a substitute of the present Jesko, which has a modern empennage trailing again from the passenger cabin. The F10 package deal additionally clearly consists of extra dive planes and a extra aggressive splitter on the entrance bumper, in addition to bolder carbon fiber aspect skirts and larger fins. Koenigsegg would not acknowledge how a lot faster – if in any respect – the Gemera F10 would lap Laguna Seca, however now we have to imagine it is received to be grippier than its modern, non-enhanced variant.
Moreover, it is not clear if the F10 pack reduces the four-seat supercar’s claimed 249-mile-per-hour high pace. The aero-optimized Jesko Assault is designed extra for monitor days than straight-line pace, and because of this, it is slower on the high finish than the modern, record-breaking Jesko Absolut. We presume the identical is true of the Gemera F10, which could “solely” hit 230 mph or so.
No Adjustments To The PHEV V8
It does not sound like Koenigsegg will do a lot to the Gemera other than the extra aggressive aerodynamics. The dual-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 stays, making 1,479 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet all by itself, whereas a “Darkish Matter” electrical motor with hybrid axial- and radial-flux windings contributes one other 789 hp and 922 lb-ft. Due to decimal rounding, whole output rests at a staggering 2,269 horses and a couple of,028 torques, which is able to assist the Gemera hit 60 mph in underneath 2.0 seconds flat.
As we have reported earlier than, the V8 was a late addition to the Gemera, nevertheless it proved to be a extremely popular one. A lot of the firm’s 300 allotted orders for the automobile had been for its optionally available V8, fairly than the “Tiny Pleasant Large” twin-turbocharged inline-three that was slated to be the Gemera’s sole engine possibility. Because of this, Koenigsegg pulled the plug on the smaller mill. The TFG would’ve produced much less energy – 592 hp and 443 lb-ft – however it might’ve been lighter, and we’re unhappy to see its novel camshaft-less design left on the reducing room flooring. Hopefully Koenigsegg will discover one other residence for its three-banger quickly.
