Koenigsegg wasn’t precisely in bad type last year with both the Jesko as well as Gemera making their debuts. However, via a cryptic publish on Instagram, the Swedish brand has declared its new year’s resolution for 2022 to be “More ultimate performance with clever engineering as well as ideal design”, hinting that a new design might be revealed later this year.

While enhancements to the existing variety of Koenigsegg hypercars is definitely exciting, the brand’s insurance claim was gone along with by a profile picture of what might be a new design set to join the brand’s range.
New Koenigsegg Gemera is a four-seat, 1,700bhp, £1.4m hypercar
The only picture issued by the Swedish firm shows a fairly compact-looking design with a simple, streaming shoulder line as well as a carefully arcing roof.
This silhouetted shot as well as the brand’s strong promise hints at a new addition to the extremely special line-up 20 years after Koenigsegg very first provided its CC8S supercar, while one more possible hint to a new design is that the vast majority of Koenigseggs only stay in production for a extremely short period of time, as well as the Regera has been with us since 2017.
With plug-in hybrid innovation being utilised on the Gemera to enhance both performance as well as its environmental credentials, this has provoked further conjecture of when the very first fully-electric Koenigsegg will make an appearance – taking the fight to other electric hypercars such as those made by Rimac – as well as with its success in producing a ‘tiny, friendly giant’ in the Gemera, it is progressively a concern of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ Koenigsegg makes the switch to completely electric. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect this to occur soon, either.
Of course, this is all only conjecture at this stage, however with such a strong reputation to uphold as well as a history of private engineering innovations, it’s unlikely that Koenigsegg will stop working to online as much as its new year’s resolution in one method or one more – it’s just a concern of exactly how strong it means to be.
