The Koenigsegg family only recently grew
to three members with the unveiling of the Gemera and already, the Swedish
automaker has imagined a fourth model, albeit only in the virtual world.
The epic three-seater you’re looking at
comes courtesy of RAW Design House, launched by Koenigsegg designer Sasha
Selipanov and now an official part of the Koenigsegg brand. Responsible for the
design of the concept, dubbed ‘RAW by Koenigsegg’, is Esa Mustonen, an artist
that made this intriguing hypercar for his graduate thesis. The car was
designed under the supervision of Selipanov and Christian von Koenigsegg.
Compared to the Koenigsegg Regera and
Gemera, the concept you see is absolutely tiny. It has been designed around a
hypothetical 3-seat carbon fiber monocoque. Sitting directly behind this
passenger cell would be the same 3-cylinder Freevalve engine as the Gemera.
This explains why there is virtually no rear overhang as the engine and exhaust
are so compact the car can be drastically shortened. Power would sit at 700 hp
while the car would weigh just 700 kg.
The overall design of the concept is quite
different than Koenigsegg models we’re familiar with. While it continues to use
the marque’s recognizable wraparound windshield and double-bubble roof, the
front-end is dominated by sharp lines, vertical headlights, and a horizontal
LED light bar. Spin around to the rear and you will notice a gaping-wide
diffuser, twin exhausts, and an LED taillight.
Inside, the three-seater layout allows the
driver to sit right in the center, much like the McLaren Speedtail.
