When
you think of a nearly $2 million supercar, a “spacious and practical
interior” probably isn’t the first image that comes to mind.
Swedish
sports car manufacturer Koenigsegg is looking to change that
perception, or at least offer an alternative, with the Gemera: the
company’s first-ever high-performance vehicle with enough room to seat
four people.
“Ultimate performance has belonged to the world of
two-seaters ... until now,” CEO and founder Christian von Koenigsegg
said in a statement.
Koenigsegg touts the new vehicle ideal for “family trips, in comfort, style and safety with never-before-experienced performance.”
On Tuesday, Koenigsegg
unveiled the 2021 Gemera, which will be produced in a limited run of just 300 cars that the
BBC reports will cost roughly $1.9 million each.
The Koenigsegg 2021 Gemera features two scissor doors that open to an interior with seating for four people.

Despite
the four-seater’s ability to fit “four large adults comfortably with
space catering to their carry-on luggage,” the Gemera is still a
performance sports car, according to the company.
The Gemera
features a two-liter, three-cylinder engine as well as three plug-in
electric motors — yes, it’s a hybrid — that can produce up to 1700
horsepower. The hybrid system allows the Gemera to accelerate from zero
to 62 mph in just 1.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 248 mph.
The car has a range of 590 miles when in hybrid mode, the company adds.
In the past, some of the
fastest four-seat cars
on the market have included the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera (with a
top speed of 211 mph) and the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso (208 mph), while
Bentley released the four-seat Continental Supersports in 2017, which
reached a top speed of 209 mph and accelerated from zero to 60 mph in
3.4 seconds, which was then
billed as the world’s fastest four-seat car.
In
addition to offering seating for four people, the Gemera’s interior
also features two infotainment display screens, one in the center of the
front dashboard and another in the back for the rear two passengers.
