The Koenigsegg Gemera is the world’s fastest family car

The Gemera is powered by the company’s camshaft-less 2.0-litre, three-cylinder twin-turbo Freevalve engine, nicknamed the TFG or ‘Tiny Friendly Giant’. This alone produces 600bhp and 600Nm (442lb ft) of torque. Three electric motors – one for each rear wheel and another on the engine’s crankshaft – take total outputs to 1,700bhp and 3,500Nm (2,580lb ft).

This means four people, each with heated and cooled cupholders, in-car internet, front and rear infotainment, wireless phone charging and memory foam seats can be shot to 62mph in 1.9 seconds on the way to 248mph. Zero to sixty-two in one point nine seconds. All-wheel-drive, torque vectoring and rear-wheel-steering are all on hand to rein in and direct the surfeit of power.

Recognisably a Koenigsegg from the fighter-pilot style wraparound windscreen, floating roof and general air of otherworldliness. Koenigsegg’s trademark doors are also present but are extra-long in order to provide access to the back seat and dubbed Koenigsegg Automated Twisted Synchrohelix Actuation Doors (KATSAD).

Just 300 Koenigsegg Gemeras will be built. Surely there can’t be a more economical and faster way of propelling you and your family towards the horizon?
