Key insights

• 🚗 The Koenigsegg Gamera features a powerful three-cylinder engine and two electric motors, making it the world's most powerful three-cylinder engine that is road emissions compliant. It has a complex powertrain with 2000 horsepower, but due to battery limitations, the peak combined output is around 1700 horsepower. The vehicle is all-wheel drive, with power distributed through a carbon fiber torque tube and torque vectoring capability.
• ⚙️ The three-cylinder engine is powerful, with 600 horsepower and 600 newton meters of torque, achieved through high revving and boost pressure. It's the most powerful road-going 2-liter engine and weighs only 70 kilograms, despite its large cylinders.
• 🔧 The new engine has faster-moving pistons than the Honda S2000 and has pistons that move as fast as F1 engines. It uses Koenigsegg's free valve technology which allows for more airflow and power. The engine has advantages in varying valve lift, timing, and duration.
• ⚡ The Koenigsegg engine offers fully variable valve timing, lift, and duration, optimizing efficiency, power, and emissions. It provides immense flexibility and control, allowing for various operational configurations. However, the system comes with drawbacks such as high cost and complexity. The engine is energy-intensive, using electronic, hydraulic, and pneumatic components.
• 🔩 The engine uses free valve technology to control exhaust gases, enabling the twin turbochargers to spool up at different RPMs and produce significant torque. The absence of multiple gears and the unique layout optimize power distribution.
• 🔥 The Koenigsegg engine has impressive torque and gear ratios, which allow for insane acceleration and a top speed of 250 miles per hour.
• 💰 The new engine produces 9,610 newton meters of combined torque, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 1.9 seconds with an average acceleration of 1.49 gs. The vehicle is expensive but impressive.
• 🏎️ Hydraulic coupling allows for torque multiplication up to 11,000 newton meters at peak, and low gear ratios enable high wheel torque and a top speed of 250 miles per hour.
