P... The result is a three-cylinder 2.0-litre engine that develops 400 Nm of torque from just 1700 rpm and produces maximum torque of 600 Nm, making the TFG the most powerful engine per cylinder and volume to date, putting it way ahead of any other current production three-cylinder engine.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE( AI) The design and operation of an internal combustion engine( ICE) involves a great many variables, including the complexity of achieving maximum �erformance, efficiency, reliability and safety, along with minimum fuel consumption, emission, size and cost.
The Freevalve system makes it possible for the internal combustion engine to achieve new heights, by creating many more variables to consider and tune. These can include NOx, CO 2 emissions, fuel consumption, HC / NMOG, power and torque, all competing for priority in a cycle.
Then there’ s fuel types, lubricants, temperatures, component wear and tear, alongside the Freevalve liberation, so clearly it becomes virtually impossible for humans to tune each parameter for optimum results. Given this, Koenigsegg has decided to use artificial intelli�ence in
order to optimise the TFG for different conditions and situations, having chosen to partner with SparkCognition, the world’ s leading AI company, to leverage the development of the Freevalve equipped TFG.
EXHAUST SYSTEM Of course, a high-powered mega car needs to sound the part, and the TFG’ s 2.0-litre three-cylinder engine not only gives lag-free response but also comes with an evocative and deepthroated growl, thanks to the use of a custom titanium ��ra�o�i� e�haust system. Belying its small displacement, it still has a big and‘ thumpy’ sound as a result of its large bore and stroke, combined with the‘ open’ sound of Freevalves. While normally producing a‘ deep, throaty, responsive and alluring’ engine sound, it can also be smooth and refined, as the e�haust notes can be tuned and balanced by the Freevalve system.
TRANSMISSION Impressive though its internal combustion engine is, we mustn’ t for�et that the �emera also benefits considerably from its combination with the three electric motors, and the patented Koenigsegg Direct Drive
( KDD) transmission with its single gear direct drive, providing lower weight and hi�her efficiency than any other hybrid solution.
During normal use on the open road, the KDD reduces drivetrain losses compared to traditional transmissions or CVT by 3 to 5 per cent, as there is no step-up or step-down gear working in series with the final dri�e � �ust direct power from the engine to the wheels with the torque-converting HydraCoup locked up.
Acceleration to extreme speeds in one gear is facilitated by the torqueconverting HydraCoup which converts the combined 1100 Nm coming from the TFG and front e-motor to almost double its torque up to 3000 rpm. Consequently, the Gemera has 3500 Nm of torque available from standstill and can accelerate all the way up to 400 kph( 0-250 mph) in a single gear.
It can also be driven, in completely silence, up to 300 kph( 186 mph), with the powerful but lightweight 800V battery giving a range of up to 50 km in EV mode and an additional 950 km at highway cruising speed in hybrid mode, totalling a 1000 km range before needing a recharge. The immense torque of the... P
