The Koenigsegg Gemera is an incredibly complex vehicle. At the rear wheels are two electric motors, each rated for 500 horsepower and 1000 newton meters of torque, and they each have a single-speed gearbox before sending power to the rear wheels independently.
Sandwiched between the motors is the Tiny Friendly Giant or TFG, a 3-cylinder longitudinally placed engine. It's good for 600 horsepower and 600 newton meters of torque, and mounted to the end of its crankshaft is another electric motor, good for an additional 400 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque.
Total system output is about 1700 horsepower, as the battery has limits to how much power it can supply, and motors and engines make peak power at different times.
The engine and third motor actually send power to the front wheels exclusively, so this is Koenigsegg’s first AWD model. Power is sent through a carbon fiber torque tube, then passes through a torque converter, then through a simple ring and pinion to split power between the front wheels. On each side of the ring and pinion are wet multi-plate clutches, so either front axle can be completely locked up or detached, allowing for torque vectoring.
With independent rear motors, the rear also has torque vectoring, and each motor also has a wet clutch to detach completely, meaning for highway cruising it can operate as FWD only for optimal efficiency. All wheel drive. All wheel steering. All wheel torque vectoring. Powering all of the electric motors is a 16.6 kWh, 800V battery pack. The pack is good for 50 kilometers or 31 miles of electric only range, and can be charged using the engine, or through regenerative braking. Total combined range is 1000 kilometers, or about 620 miles. Enjoy the video for the full details of this very cool engine!

*CORRECTION!* The individual cylinder volume for TFG is 666.7cc, NOT 66.67cc as shown in the video. Same for the V8, 625cc, not 62.50cc. Oops! 🤦♂️Hope everyone's staying safe & social distancing!
You forgot one thing. This engine can also work as a 2-stroke.
Yes I'm social distancing... I'm married.

"I drive a 3 cylinder hybrid"
"Very reasonable, doing my part to save the planet."
@@EngineeringExplained But, it's not a Prius...
The first gen honda insight is a naturally aspirated 3 cylinder hybrid.
I'm happy with Mitsubishi Marige 3 cylinders
BMW i8?
We officially live in a world where a Koenigsegg's engine has one less cylinder than a Prius
Before the Gemera I believe the most expensive 3 cyl. car was the BMW I8 PHEV at ~150K €.
it has %25 less cyclinders xD
Cylinders are a thing of the past
@@mcplutt as is displacement since decades. Just a view individuals are stuck to medival engines
@@dom3827 The notion of there being no replacement for displacement still holds true though. Charging an engine is basically tricking it into thinking it's got more displacement than it actually has. Isn't modern technology great.

He's a genius
Thats where I'm coming from.
seriously haha. What a dude!
And open sources it!
he said his is a little less complex and a little less advanced cuz he cant vary valve lift IIRC
Christian Von Koenigsegg is truly a living automotive legend.
I'd say his team is. Probably not him.
@@sridharsinghal1232 I would say him (I’ve met him, I work at a car manufacturer too). He had a dream as a small boy to build race cars and from that dream he built this company, in Sweden, where no one dares to stick out.
Wish I could have had a rich daddy to help me pay engineers to develop my dream car in my name and then get credited for it
Hes as much a automotive legend as Donald Trump is a real estate construction legend.
@@dcam1760 He had already had his company for several years when his dad lent him some money. If you see some interviews with him, you will also notice that he's HEAVILY involved in the engineering also. I think is the interview that Rosberg did, he says he comments on engineering drawings many times a day. (he says this while they discuss his famous fondness of MS-Paint, haha)
Koenigsegg literally threw the book out of what an engine could be and started again. All he kept is that there are pistons and bearings. He's redesigned everything
beautiful, isn't it?
When cost is no object, many unusual things get done.
@@geot4647 similar engine is in Qoros (1.6T freevalve) and it's a basic sedan

I love it
I wonder if he is a pink floyd fan.. There must be some mistake,
I didn't mean to let them take away my soul,
am I too old, is it too late?
It's the ghost squadron motto
TFG also is their first engine that has the Ghost on it. None of their previous V8 has the symbol if I am not mistaken.
@@bgd73 I think "The show must go on" is more commonly associated with Queen, but that's me. However, It's a reference to the fire that destroyed their factory.
They also put their crest on the front of the axle @1:51. They put a lot of the crests in spots that’ll never even be seen like a faberge egg it’s incredible!
Even by hypercar standards, this engine is amazing. Koenigsegg has achieved some awesome things, and these results are definitely not easily achievable by other hypercar manufacturers.
that's bc koenigsegg is owned by enthusiast who's obsessed with innovative perfection and other hypercar manufacturers owned and managed by shareholders who's interested only in making money out of trademark.
They make almost every part of the cars in house. I have such a crush on Koenigsegg
I have been teaching motor mechanics and auto electrics for 25 years so I can say that you are the best teacher !!!!
pcp IS OVERATED
This video will always be close to my heart. I remember I did a project in my Engineering days about VVT, VVD and VVL in a single system using pneumatic and electromagnetic actuators 8 years back. My professor degraded that project proposal saying it's practically non-feasible and this won't happen in a production car for at least next 20 years. Koenigsegg just proved a heady Ph.D wrong and I couldn't be happier.
Send him the vid
He should be fired for his lack of insight.
I've heard a number if stories about how "that won't work, change your thinking" and the student does it anyways and it works. From engineering schools no less.
To be honest, what Koenigsegg did was actually innovative and my projects approach was a bit different but aiming at same result. Since this was only meant for performance cars and had no place in mass market cars, the prof would have rejected it. But they should encourage student to do what's never been done before rather than what would sell...
@@vishverma420 Koenigsegg said a couple years back, they would implement the freevalve system in a mass production car. They had a cooperation with a chinese car maker "QOROS" which should sell cars under the "qamfree" label.
When someone say "That is impossible!" they are wrong.
Koenigsegg just haven't done it yet.
This is the cool stuff I love about technology and modern machining, adding up the highest tech in all fields :) super cool!
Definitely the coolest video and best tech I've seen all year. Even cooler than Nissan's variable compression tech
Hahaha, yup
@@JOutterbridge Hey, it's just march, the guys at Koenigsegg still have more than 8 months to beat themselves :)
I'm actually more surprised this wasn't already a thing. This is pretty much how I thought engines worked before I learned how they really worked.
Never mind the car, we need that in a motorcycle!
KTM, one engine with wheels and a handlebar, please!
I want it in a plane. That engine is more than 3 times as powerful as what you'd find in a Skyhawk and easily a quarter of the weight.
If Koenigsegg could team up with some and make Planes and Motorcycles... Holy. They really, really should.

4:53 - Geek-out level: maximum
In all seriousness, this vehicle represents the pinnacle of what automotive technology has been able to achieve in nearly a century and a half. Very impressive.
I like cars!
YEah but. F1 engines dont reach the 15000 RPM. Max 13500 RPM. That is beacuse flow rules witch are at const maximum when u go over 10500 RPM. So effective m/s in that case is lower// Calculated 23,85 m/s So very impressive. State of the art tech indeed. F1 are efficiency driven by rulebook and manufacturers will not go to max RPM beacuse that is wasted energy for to much material wear and less MPGs.
not really, its all been done before
@@ssaini5028 Perhaps, but in a single vehicle?
Until Koenigsegg's next car.
I love your videos. I wish I could have you when I was in high school. These engineers are amazing. What goes into these motors is crazy. I so respect these guys and the hours that goes into this.
Just brilliant videos! I very much appreciate your engineer's perspective presented in a way I can understand. And what amazing engines you showcase on your channel. Keep up the great work!
Engine makes more HP in a cylinder than my entire car
this is the most useless car ... ironically ...
and it has less cylinders than 3/4 of my cars.
i do have a geo metro 3cyl though lmfao, thing has 55hp factory HAHAHA
Your Geo Metro three cylinder will last a lot longer with less horsepower. Fact!!!
In the future, one cylinder engines will have 500 horsepower. Lawn mowers will have ECUs and variable valve timing.
Israel Sved You forgot a lot less mass.
How tf does this guy explain so clearly more than teachers in school.
not just parroting facts, actually understands what he's talking about.

Thanks for a well put together video. You are very good in explaining stuff. Good job!
Thanks again for breaking this all down! You are a real pleasure to watch and listen to, your mind works so efficiently, i would dare compare you to the Koenigsegg's two litre/ 600 hp beast, yet I think you would give it a great run!

I've watched most of your videos Jason and I think you might have baited me into going for a mechanical engineering degree. So I'll go to university probably this October, mostly because of you. You made me passionate about the mechanics of anything car related and I thank you for that.
Wow! Well I wish you all the best. I wrote this article fresh out of college, reflecting back on it. You may find it helpful: www.howdoesacarwork.com/p/should-i-become-mechanic-mechanical.html
Also one of the reasons I’m studying mechanical engineering right now. It’s tough but very fun
@@EngineeringExplained Oh boy, Automotive Engineering here I come. Finding a job later on won't be too big of a problem I hope, because I am fairly sure I'll have assets to open up my own shop right away after uni, so the choice just boils down to what will give me the most knowledge and qualifications in cars. I will have some manual labour in the meantime, like the engine swap of my daily car this summer I have planned. The rest of my history you'll hear in a couple of years, when I start making the plans a reality, hope you're still doing your videos by then, because I will for sure be watching them :)
Engineering Explained I wish I had read this article before becoming an engineering student, watching your videos also got me into engineering. I was on track to be a finance major from HS and at the end of my jr year I decided I wanted to be a mechanical engineer after watching your videos and other you tubers explaining how car engines work, and plane engines. I am now finishing up my sophomore year at NJIT and so far I am loving it but that article would have been a great recourse, I still learned all those things from the article but it would have been nice to get a heads up. I still watch your videos because I live seeing the big ideas that go into a project. Thank You for being an inspiration!
If you can handle the math DO IT! I wish I had gone that route myself.

You have such a great way of explaining and you have so much engineering knowledge..Thanks and keep up the good work.😎
I think it's great that your using the metric system more. Keep up the good work love your videos.
It would be pain to make those calculations in freedom units.
Get ready to crucify me next week. 😂 I'm pretty comfortable with both, and switch often. I do my best to include metric where possible, but when it's an American focused car I often leave it alone.

What an absolute work of art and marvel of engineering... Wow.
Koenigsegg truly embodies the idea of "where there's a will, there's a way"
Or rather, "where there's a will, there is just no way your car won't live at the repair shop with that many moving parts...."
Hey, RedBull, here is your new engine supplier!
F1 rules probably already prohibit this engine, or if they don't, then they would be immediately changed to ban it. F1 is about equalising the competition more than it is about encouraging pioneering developments.
Killer video; keep them coming.
If I had a ton of cash I'd buy it.
The technology behind it is insane
@@KevAlberta Ikr! Would be a great daily :D
They’ve already sold out and they aren’t even built yet, just like every other model Koenigsegg ever made. They are building 125 Jesko’s and sold out of them the day after it was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.
Wszystko Jedno Ferrari and Lamborghini can kiss it.
The underlying notion behind this type of success is that being bold makes huge strides. The LED wasn't brought about by making candles burn more efficiently.
That's an amazing amount of horse power to weight ratio. That's a real super car.
Great class on explaining the ratios. You simplify it using the math I understand. Great job.
Those pistons are really moving. The highest-revving road engine I myself own is a 750 cc, twin cylinder motorcycle engine with a 66 mm stroke and a 9k redline. I'm only getting 19.8 m/s for that engine.
EDIT: I recently started teaching myself calculus, and now graphs like you were showing for valve lift have taken on another dimension.
I remember those days when Hennesey had "metaphorical" altercations with Mr. Koenigsegg because of the top speed record. I think he was aiming a little too high when you realize how amazing Mr Kristian is. Everytime they reveal an all new car, its always an engineering feat.
Feels like koenigsegg are 10 years ahead of everyone else
Not exactly, just charging 10 times more for their cars than other manufacturers. That helps!
They're about 5yrs behind tesla.
@@lefuedebout They do make nearly everything themselves. The leather, the bolts, the carbon, the engine,... Al of it. Plus the research/development costs are insane.
They also have a very low production number since they make everything by hand. This high price is the only way for Koenigsegg to continue.
It's not like Ferarri or Lamborghini that has factory lines for the production of 'cheap' models
@@EnlightenedSavage they're about 37 years behind of bmw (see bmw m12/13)

Never in my life have I been interested with crunching numbers like this guy did props to the neat and clean explanation.
The ECU programming on this engine must be fascinating.
Wait until it crashes, or better still until a bit flips
> blowing up a 600hp engine by blasting it's ECU with 100W of EM-Radiation.
Actually its probably a lot more predictable, with without throttle position. Cam profiles are never direct inputs, that I've seen, instead tuning plays with fuel injection based on O2 results in emissions vs. based on input parameters of knowing exactly what the given volume of air is based on controlled valve position, boost and known lag times for changes to valve position.
How do I get this engine in my Golf SEL?? Prolly more than I am thinking. I didn't see any mention about milage. Isolating the engine itself.
I hate to be _that guy_ but I wonder if they could use machine learning to determine the proper valve positions...
then again I don't know what goes into regular ECU programming... but it seems like a lot of variables to juggle with a simple procedural algorithm. then again... maybe not.
no, probably not. ML usually makes things worse lol
As a swede I could not care less how our international friends prononciate Swedish, kudos for trying! I think it's rather fun that a lot of people around the world "speaks" Swedish every time they talk about IKEA furniture or Koenigsegg cars :)

Still want to hear this engine..
they put a lot of time into making a nice akrapovic exhaust so that you would still have nice sound even though you only have 3 cylinders
I've been trying to find a video clip of it running ever since the aborted Geneva Motor Show but no luck thus far. Quite frustrating considering Christian's emphatic claims the exhaust note is very befitting its performance and pedigree. We'll see.
James Aron they never run it on the show. They even forgot to put wires to ignition coils. Ran on pure electric haha.

Would breeding smaller horses be a viable way of increasing an engine's horsepower?
plenty of duck sized horses around
It's easier to build a 100 horsepower car and identify as a 2,000 horsepower car.
Noooooo. It would only increase torque!!
Once you get under 13 hands you end up being stuck with a Ford....Pony power for you non equestrian enthusiast.
The Chinese already do that with electric motors as their stated horsepower is generally way more than what they actually make so I'm convinced that they must use smaller horses for the measurement. :-)

That's freakin illegal - is Koenigsegg even real?
With 4 full size carry ons and 8 hot and cold cup holders, only 2 doors and full seating for tall people.
I think it's most about "0-60mph uses 1.9sec" since the battery can last 50 kilometers only.
actually they claim it can run carbon negative - on e85, the air coming out will be cleaner than the air going in.

They are actually considered MEGACARS.

I'm a huge automotive fan, have been all my life. And I'd like to think I have a certain knowledge about internal combustion engines. But I swear, everytime I watch these videos, I realize I don't know a goddamn thing.
Corey Class go watch faye hadley
With exceptions, we only stop learning when we're dead.
Well, to be honest, those koenigsegg guysare doing insane things which most people who work on an avarage civic will not come across for a long time
To be fair to yourself, he's an engineer. My college textbooks are written in the same way. Diesel student.
Get yourself to engineering school young man
Awesome breakdown!!
Great video! Really delivers on basic understanding of how an ICE engine can work in a car using a hybrid drive train. The pneumatic pump for the valve operation must be one great pump! Also it must use an accumulator for the thing to work under changing engine rpm; no?
Sooo 1 cilinder has double the power my 4cilinder engine has in total? 🥺
Yes
Yeah but it’s 3 times more expensive

As a Swede, I wasn't even thinking of his pronunciation of "Gemera" as being wrong... I was just thinking of the giant turtle from the Godzilla films.
I mean the real way to pronounce it would be jemera
Great video ...there’s alot of science behind the design of this engine
Great job Thank you for your service sir 🙏
7:24 the small "The show must go on" detail is so nice.
6:57 so with konegseigg freevalve vtec is always kicked in. 😂
YO
Although great vedio , and really explaining everything in detailed very easily
WOW ...THIS IS THE MOST ADVANCED ENGINE,I HAVE EVER HEARD....ALSO THE EXPLANATION IS EXCELLENT...
2020: tons of videos on CZcams doing LS swaps
2030: tons of videos on CZcams doing 3 cylinder engine swaps
If F1 cars also use 3 cylinder engine that will be cool
@@GF-mf7ml F1 cars use 6 cylinders tho, don't think they'll go lower than that anytime soon
People are jumping from the big v8s now to straight 6s.. but I don't think I3s that put out this much power are going mainstream
2030 no ICE
@@phantomstratocaster I highly doubt that will be the case, especially with engines like this.
The amount of work and research that is put into these videos is incredible, truly remarquable
Absolutely incredible. They are just on a different level!
Amazing stuff! I did see a video of old mate talking about free value.
That's freaking INSANE!!! I still remember when "1 HP per cubic inch" was a worthy goal... Then we strived for and obtained a reliable "100 HP per litre". This just blows passed those goals!! This engine has more horsepower in one litre than an entire early 4.6 litre Ford modular block V8!!
I guess the free Valve system could also enable awesome engine braking, just set it to run like a jake brake. Admittedly not required in a car with regen braking but still possible
0:19 is one of those moments that makes Jason’s videos so entertaining 😂
Thanks for every single explanation you are amazing .
Engineers: "So how linear do you want to have the power delivered?"
Christian: "Yes."
Can’t wait to see what this thing sounds like going flat out. Hearing the turbo spooling along with the exhaust note plus the wine of the electric motors spinning like crazy what a racket.
Absolutely bonkers. Brilliant engineering!
I like how the free valves are tied to the turbos no cams and also the ability to tune the valves electronically for air flow wonder how a similar concept would work for a propellor airplane the HAL effect type ignition is a big huge deal in older engines as well as new ones just to compare concepts thank you nice presentation stuff like this has a way of getting around.:)
