When it comes to engineering and development of cars, many people think that Elon Musk as the genius of our generation, I feel a little different this is Christian von Koenisegg, and this guy does the impossible. From his fully automatic and manual transmission, to his insane hyper cars, this man knows how to build amazing cars. Now today we will take a deep dive on yet another insane thing build and designed by his company, this is the is the Koenigsegg Gemera and it’s a hybrid 4 seater hypercar, now the electric engines make a 1100HP, but that’s not the part I want to focus on, as it’s a hybrid it also feutures an ice engine. Specifically a little 3 cylinder 2.0 twin turbo engine.
This 2.0-liter twin-turbo three-cylinder powerplant delivers an astonishing 600 horsepower, setting new standards in specific output for road cars. Now this engine is nicknamed the Tiny friendly giant or TFG. Now What makes the TFG even more fascinating is its camless design, employing cutting-edge technology from Koenigsegg's sister company, Freevalve. Let's delve into the engineering and technology behind this remarkable engine and explore how Koenigsegg used this free valve tech, aswell as its genius sequential turbo design to make 600HP out of a 2.0 powerplant.
First lets start by explaining why he chose a small 2.0. you see The TFG was specifically designed for the Gemera, aiming for a compact, lightweight engine with substantial horsepower. Koenigsegg, known for its innovative approach, chose to reverse the power distribution seen in the hybrid Regera, where the internal combustion engine plays a primary role. In the Gemera, most of the power is generated by electric motors, with the TFG contributing propulsion and serving as a charging unit for the hybrid drivetrain's batteries. To fulfill these requirements, Koenigsegg opted for a 2.0-liter, three-cylinder configuration, maximizing power-to-weight ratio while ensuring ample space within the vehicle.
Despite being a three-cylinder engine however, the TFG packs a punch. The engine feutures a bore of 95mm and a stroke of 93.5mm, the TFG exhibits a big-bore, big-stroke design that delivers a distinctive and powerful exhaust note, reminiscent of a Harley with an additional cylinder. Just take a listen. The engine's exceptional valve engineering allows for higher revs, with peak power achieved at 7500 rpm and a redline set at 8500 rpm. Remarkably, this engine doesn’t just produce high end power, the TFG also generates substantial torque, delivering 600nm from below 3000 rpm up to 7000 rpm, ensuring impressive midrange performance.

Koenigsegg, they are such a grand company. Too bad it's not for the masses.
👍💪✌
These guys need to participate in formula 1 starting 2026
Fast Forward to today...The Gamera will have a 400k dollars option to add a TTV8 and one E-Motor which will produce a total of 2300hp
Freevalve for me will change the way we design engines, it will allow them to have higher rpms, higher compression ratios, resulting in more power and efficiency for less fuel. Add this to mild hybrid tech, like CISGs, electrified turbochargers and you'll have engines that can rivalize with fuel cells in terms of efficiency!
question is if it even matters? The EU has gone complete boner for EVs and doesn't seem to want to listen to anything regarding ICE.
@@PeteTheL337 Well, they approved to ICEs to run on e-fuels, so yes, this matters and A LOT!
This tech is only good for super car. It should have no reliability at all. Otherwise the chinese car company which demonstrated a cocept car with Freevalve equipped engine should have been mass produced. So far none. The project goes nowhere. There must be some reason that the Freevalve engine has not yet been mass produced.
@@catchnkill Camles technology is not new in itself. Costs has scrapted similar project by other automotive manufacturers. But costs is not the concern of Koneigseggs customers. What Koenigsegg does different from others is the use of solenoids. A late '90 technology brought over by engineers from SAAB. I have no data on reliability but I don't think Koenigsegg would risk to tarnish their name just by chance. Also, Freevalve has been in developement for over 20 years. It gotta mean something.
U failed to mention the gemera also comes with a 1440 hp v8 tt and an electic motor for a total of 2300hp!!!!
Amaizing Engineering
Nice
Skilled in cylinders count (3) & mostly in narration !
Yep the motor sound is actually grotesque ! Some ajustement needed, as he says.
Man dont compare Elon fake mask vs best high IQ Koenigsegg technology is top of best right now.
First of all, 2.0L is not a tiny 3 cylinder engine.
My shitty 1.5L 3 cylinder begs to differ
If you downsize this to a single cylinder engine. To be used in a family car, and mass produce this.
He would be a genius that was a part of changing the world.
A single cylinder might have a bit too much of a dead phase? Mated to a pancake style electric motor in stead of a flywheel could be great. But how much mileage does the 3-cyl engine even manage?
Will Tesla ever deliver the roadster? Not in 2023 for sure, maybe in 2032?
Don't trust Tesla anymore, nearly 5 years I've lost all hope in them. Before, they were cool, now, it's like a cult, like Apple.
Jup😂
@@ChrisVSCars just saw the video of the Regera, it topped the 0-400-0 record from the Nevera, who could have imagined that? Koenigsegg is the ultimate drivers car!
Musk Is a genius? How?
Tricking people to throw money at his vaguest idea is genius.
He's a banker first and second, and likes various other projects a distant 100th. World Economic Forum special agent obviously. Climate and free speech are just modern brand that fool people into outsourcing their thinking to him and his masters.
Being the Einstein of cars only for this generation definitely goes to Christian and not Elon. Elon is a very smart guy but if we're talking about cars only Christian is basically God 😅
How is Elon a very smart guy?
@@gottliebdee263 He successfully managed to outmanoeuvre the original board and founder of Tesla and take over the company. Its gotta count for something, right?
You sound like someone who speaks Afrikaans.
