This is the new Koenigsegg Gemera, and it is a family car. Indeed, we know this because it has four seats, hot and cold cupholders, front and rear seat infotainment, wireless phone charging and the ability to store four adults’ carry-on luggage.

Also, this is the new Koenigsegg Gemera, and it is absolutely mind-blowingly nuts. It has 1,700bhp, 2,580lb ft of torque, the ability to go from 0-62mph in 1.9s and up to 250mph in “record matching pace”.

What else would you expect from Koenigsegg? Boss Christian von Koenigsegg himself describes the new Gemera as “a completely new category of car where extreme megacar meets spacious interior and ultimate environmental consciousness”.

Prepare then, to have thine puny brains fried and served with a side of disbelief. The new Gemera features three electric motors – one on each rear wheel, and one on the crankshaft – that alone deliver 1,100bhp simultaneously. In EV, rear-drive mode, the Gemera can hit 186mph, and its 800V battery gives up to 31 miles of range.

To this, Koenigsegg has added something called a Tiny Friendly Giant, which isn’t what you think it is, in more ways than one. It is a three-cylinder, twin-turbo 2.0-litre ‘Freevalve’ internal combustion engine that drives the front wheels, able to run on ethanol, or CO2-neutral methanol which makes it “at least as CO2-neutral as a pure electric car running on a ‘good’ electric source”.

This little scrapper makes 600bhp and 443lb ft of torque on its own. Yes, Koenigsegg says it offers “a lighter, more efficient cradle-to-grave solution” compared to other combustion engines. But once more for the cheap seats: six hundred horsepower from a three-cylinder.

Koenigsegg says until those advanced fuels become more readily available, you can stick E85 in there, or even in the “worst case” – whisper it – petrol. Urgh. In any case, that all adds up to the magic 1,700bhp figure, delivered via all-wheel-drive and with all-wheel torque vectoring on offer.
