Koenigsegg has created the Dark Matter e-motor, delivering 800 horsepower and 1,250 Nm of torque while weighing 39 kilograms. This power-to-weight ratio exceeds most V8 engines in a package roughly the size of a pizza.
The motor employs six-phase technology instead of the standard three-phase systems used in current electric vehicles. This configuration uses two independent three-phase windings, providing smoother power delivery, reduced vibration, and enhanced reliability. The design incorporates a proprietary "raxial flux" configuration that combines radial and axial magnetic flux patterns, maximizing power density while maintaining compact dimensions.
Carbon fiber construction throughout the rotor, stator, and housing reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity under extreme loads. The motor operates at up to 8,500 RPM and integrates with a silicon carbide inverter capable of handling 1,300 amps at 850 volts.
In the Gemera hypercar, this single motor replaces the originally planned three-motor setup, pairing with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 to produce a combined 2,300 horsepower. The motor enables electric torque vectoring and contributes to the vehicle's 850-volt architecture. Koenigsegg positions this as the world's most powerful automotive-grade electric motor, with patent-pending technology that establishes new benchmarks for electric propulsion systems.
