Koenigsegg does not do issues conventionally. The Swedish hypercar maker’s creations are house to all kinds of surprising, ingenious engineering options. That is true of the Gemera, Koenigsegg’s first four-seater and its first all-wheel drive automobile. As founder Christian von Koenigsegg explains on this video, the Gemera does not have a differential.

Effectively, not a standard differential as such.

On the rear, the Gemera has a mid-mounted twin-turbo V-8 paired with the corporate’s distinctive Mild Velocity Tourbillon (LST) nine-speed transmission. As an alternative of utilizing straight CV joints popping out of a differential, as you’d anticipate with a transaxle, this transmission has two “cassettes” on both aspect, which transfer energy ahead to the wheels. As an alternative of turning energy 90 levels from the output shaft, the LST turns energy 270 levels, which permits room for the V-8.

At every cassette, there is a hydraulic clutch that regulates energy to the wheel. So, you’ve a system that capabilities like an digital locking differential, however with components exploded out reasonably than being housed in a single unit. 

It took me some time to grasp it, too.

That is an all-wheel drive automobile, too, so the LST has an output shaft operating to the entrance axle as nicely. On the finish of that, there’s an electrical motor, and one other differential-that’s-not-a-differential mechanism, with a bevel gear and hydraulic clutches for every wheel.

All fairly loopy, and it permits for distinctive prospects. As Koenigsegg factors out, that is the one automobile that has a single electrical motor, however totally variable four-wheel torque vectoring in EV mode. And so as to add to all that, the Gemera has brake torque vectoring as nicely.

The video is nicely price a look ahead to perception right into a system solely Koenigsegg may provide you with. There’s really nothing prefer it.
