Koenigsegg, the Swedish hypercar manufacturer synonymous with breaking boundaries, has unveiled its latest innovation – the Dark Matter e-motor. Revolutionizing electric propulsion, this in-house designed marvel was developed to complement the redesigned Gemera drivetrain. Despite space constraints allowing for the use of only a single e-motor, Koenigsegg’s R&D team delivered an exceptional solution that combines compactness, lightweight construction, and raw power into one game-changing unit. Producing 800 horsepower and an astonishing 1250 Nm of torque, the patent-pending Dark Matter stands as the most powerful automotive-grade e-motor in the world, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
At the heart of the Dark Matter lies cutting-edge 6-phase technology paired with a unique Raxial Flux design, which blends radial and axial configurations for unmatched efficiency and power delivery. This innovative approach not only enhances compactness but also unlocks a higher degree of engagement and versatility. With a peak rotational speed of 8,500 RPM, the e-motor’s performance is further amplified by its remarkable weight of just 39 kilograms. Such lightweight construction contributes to less drivetrain mass, ensuring the Gemera achieves greater responsiveness and agility while upholding Koenigsegg’s reputation for excellence in both engineering and aesthetics.
Beyond its sheer power, the Dark Matter is a testament to Koenigsegg’s commitment to evolving electric propulsion. It represents the intersection of cutting-edge technology and sustainable performance, addressing the growing demand for electrification in the hypercar segment without compromising on thrill or reliability. By incorporating this unparalleled e-motor into their lineup, Koenigsegg has not only elevated the Gemera’s driving experience but has also cemented its leadership in advancing the future of automotive innovation. The Dark Matter is an evolutionary leap that underscores the possibilities of what e-mobility can achieve when paired with visionary engineering.
