Koenigsegg’s practical family car, the Gemera, has made its launch debut in Thailand, where it will be priced at an eye-watering 111,098,385 baht. The four-seater first made its debut back in March this year, and has all the facts and figures you’d come to expect of a Koenigsegg. Featuring a plug-in hybrid powertrain, the limited-production Gemera – only 300 units – is powered by a 2.0 litre three-cylinder engine with the company’s Freevalve camless technology. Called the Tiny Friendly Giant (TFG), the flex-fuel mill develops 600 PS and 600 Nm of torque, and is mounted midship to drive the front wheels via a Koenigsegg Direct Drive (KDD) transmission and a propshaft.
The single-gear KDD features the company’s
HydraCoup (hydraulic coupling) technology for a direct link from the engine to
the front axle, and is paired with an electric motor that is rated at 400 PS and 500 Nm. There are also two electric motors on the rear axle, with
each providing 500 PS and 1,000 Nm, so altogether, the Gemera has a
total output of 1,700 PS and 3,500 Nm of torque. With
just the electric motors in play, there’s still 1,100 PS on tap,
with power provided by an 800-volt, 16.6-kWh battery mounted under the front
seats.
In terms of performance, the zero to 100
km/h sprint takes just 1.9 seconds, zero to 200 km/h requires 4.9 seconds, and
the car will exceed 400 km/h. On electric power alone, the battery provides a
range of up to 50 km, while with just the internal combustion engine, it goes
up to 950 km – the total range is 1,000 km.
Getting into the cabin is achieved via the
company’s Automated Twisted Synchrohelix Actuation Doors (KATSAD), where you’ll
find four individual seats that can accommodate passengers of heights up to 202
cm in relative comfort. As demonstrated by company CEO Christian von
Koenigsegg, there’s also quite a bit of storage space available and a host of
other technologies.
Koenigsegg Bangkok is operated by General
Auto Supply Company Limited – the sole authorised importer and distributor of
Koenigsegg vehicles in Thailand – a subsidiary of Sharich Holding. According to
Headlightmag the price tag (based on prevailing exchange rates at the time)
includes Thailand’s import tax on CBU vehicles, which amounts to 2,998,000
euros before conversion.
