Revving Up the Resistance: Super Cars Stand Firm on Hybrid Technology

newautopost Views  

Sticking to the engine until the end
Hybrid models released

Many supercar brands, such as Lamborghini and Ferrari, have recently electrified their vehicle lineups. Meanwhile, some automobile manufacturers are still developing supercar models powered by internal combustion or hybrid engines.

Since supercars can be said to be the last pride of internal combustion engine vehicles, it would be natural for many supercar manufacturers to insist on internal combustion engines until the very end. Let’s look at three supercars that are not scheduled to launch as pure electric vehicles.

Koenigsegg’s 4-seater supercar Gemera is equipped with a V3 engine enhanced with a hybrid system

Gemera is the first four-seater supercar made by Koenigsegg. It was initially scheduled to be unveiled at the 2020 Geneva International Motor Show, but the event was canceled due to the coronavirus and was released online. The vehicle is scheduled to be released in late 2024, and consumers are expected to receive the car in early 2025. A hybrid system with a 2.0-liter powered Gemara turbocharged V3 engine and three electric motors. However, in 2023, Koenigsegg unveiled the Hot V8 edition, replacing the V3 engine with a V8 engine.

The Gemera Hot V8 Edition can be selected as an option. It is equipped with a 5.0L twin-turbo V8 engine, producing 1,479 horsepower. Combined with an electric motor, it produces 2,269 horsepower and 280 kgf.m of torque. Additionally, thanks to its compatibility with carbon-neutral fuels, the Gemera 2nd generation can become a zero-emission vehicle using ethanol, CO2-neutral methanol, or 3rd-generation biofuels.

The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS is equipped with a mild hybrid system

Next is the new Porsche 911 GT2 RS. The model, scheduled for release in 2026, is also the model that Porsche boasts will be the fastest 911 ever released. A prototype 911 GT2 RS was spotted testing at the Nürburgring, featuring a sizable rear wing and massive side intakes.

The new 911 GT2 RS will be equipped with a mild hybrid powertrain for 400V. The exact output figure is unknown, but it is estimated to produce more than 700 horsepower.

In addition, Porsche engineers predicted that they would increase driving efficiency by installing the battery behind the rear seat and installing the electric motor inside the gearbox to distribute weight appropriately.

Bugatti Chiron successor model to be unveiled in June 2024

The last model is the successor to the Bugatti Chiron. The model is scheduled to be unveiled in June 2024 and is the first to be produced after the merger of Bugatti and Rimac in 2022. A hybrid system will power the vehicle with a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V16 engine.

Only 16 mass-produced vehicles have been powered by a V16 engine, including the Cadillac Series 452, Cadillac Series 90th generation, and Mormon.

Bugatti has been working on the design of the successor to the Bugatti Chiron since 2021. The last vehicle designed by Achim Anscheidt, who led Bugatti design for 20 years and retired in 2023, is said to be the successor to the Bugatti Chiron.
