The Koenigsegg Gemera is a 1700bhp hypercar with four seats, but why?

All cars are meant to fulfill a purpose, some are bigger issues like the ability to carry seven people in comfort while some are smaller ones like making the fastest seven seater around the Nurburgring. The Koenigsegg Gemera is fulfilling a purpose that no one really asked to be fulfilled — it has more power than a Bugatti Chiron, more torque to play with than god himself and it will be able to carry your immediate family and their luggage too. The question is why, and why has nobody else done this before?Let me answer the latter first. Technology.

In order to make something as powerful as the Gemera you would probably need a 16-cylinder ICE engine, which takes up space.

Surface Transforms plc (LON:SCE) are experts in the development and production of carbon-ceramic materials and the UK’s only manufacturer of carbon-ceramic brakes for automotive use. Koenigsegg nominated SCE as a tier one sole supplier on their Gemera car.
