5 Small Car Engines With Impressive Horsepower Output – SlashGear

If you’re an ultra-high net worth individual and want a hypercar, but also want to take your family with you when you drive, then you no longer have to pick between a two-door or a sedan — you can get the best of both worlds with the Koenigsegg Gemera, powered by Koenigsegg’s own TFG, or “Tiny Friendly Giant,” twin-turbo engine and three electric motors.

When combined, you get over 1,700 hp out of the Gemera, but what’s more impressive is its gasoline engine. The TFG is just a 2-liter inline-three, but it can push out 592 hp and 443 lb.-ft of torque with the help of two turbos, delivering an eye-popping 296 hp/L. What’s more impressive is that you don’t have to limit yourself to high-performance fuels. Instead, you can put in Gen 2.0 ethanol, E85, or even other more eco-friendly fuels, and the engine will happily speed along.

When you combine this over 500 hp engine with the three electric motors on the Gemera, you get an absolute beast that can seat a family of four. And with its 3.5-second 0-60 mph record and top speed of 268 mph, you wouldn’t believe that a small three-cylinder engine sits inside it to help its electric motors move along.
