Koenigsegg, the Swedish automaker and manufacturer of some of the world's fastest land vehicles, has announced the Koenigsegg Gemera, a four-seat hypercar. The Gemera boasts four engines, three of the automaker's proprietary 'Quark' engine, and one internal combustion engine (ICE). The car will feature one Quark for each rear wheel and one Quark dedicated to the crankshaft, while the ICE engine will do the remainder of the heavy lifting.
The Quark features an 800V, 15 kWh battery pack that can recharge at a rate of 200 kW. The Gemera features a 50km propulsion range off of its electric motors and a 950 km range off of its ICE, combining for a total of 1000 km, so for short drives and cruising, very minimum amounts of gas fuel need to be consumed due to the car's proprietary technology. On top of this, the Gemera offers an astonishing acceleration rate of 0-62 mph in 1.9s and a top speed of 250 mph.
