Deep Dive: Koenigsegg Gemera’s drive train

As the first four -seater of the car manufacturer, the Koenigsegg Gemera proved not only in terms of performance, but also the packaging, as CEO Christian von Koenigsegg is explained in a video about this Gemera’s drive train.

The Gemera uses a variation of the light speed transmission from the Koenigsegg Jesko. This 9-speed transmission switches off synchros and a flywheel so that it can switch from any equipment to another, even if you cannot get out of the sequence numerically while the engine is overturned as quickly as possible.

The Light Speed ​​Tourbillon, the Gemera transmission, was developed with the lessons of Jesko and transfers many of the same internals. But it had to be re -packed to fit into the rear part of the four -seat without affecting a passenger or cargo dream.

Koenigsegg’s solution was to essentially wrap the gear. It is between two interpreters that calls from Koenigsegg. “Cassettes“Which is diverted to the wheels over a number of clutches to the wheels, which also provided torque vectoring and eliminate the need for a differential. This arrangement enables the upper limit of the crankshaft to the wheel medium lines and lowers the focus of the car.

The Light Speed ​​Tourbillon still has nine forward devices such as the Light Speed ​​transmission of the Jesko, but since it was designed for use with a hybrid drive train, there is no reverse equipment. This is treated by the electric motor on the front axle. This single engine can also supply the rear wheels for fully electric driving.

A carbon fiber shaft sends electricity from the engine to the front axis, where you are distributed with the front electric motor and its inverter in a Koenigsegg assembly by a few couplings (which also enable torque vectoring). Bulldog Because of the amount of strength, it uses its size.

This drive train was originally intended for use with a 2.0-liter turbo-3, which should work with three electric motors (including two on the rear axle) to create a combined 1,700 hp. But shortly before the start of production last year, Koenigsegg announced an available 5.0-liter twin-turbo-V-8, which increases the performance to 2,300 hp. Then it dropped the 3-cylinder engine, a step by Koenigsegg said I was driven by customer demand.
