The terms “supercar” and “hypercar” describe vehicles capable of extreme speeds and premium performance. Plenty of sports cars on the road today offer spine-tingling power and precise handling. The 21st century has churned out some amazing vehicles, from the McLaren F1 to the Ferrari Enzo. But with so many options, it’s hard to distinguish which …

Hypercars, by definition, offer extreme levels of performance. Swedish company Koenigsegg, though, blends that kind of performance with more than a touch of unconventionality. Yes, hypercars like the Bugatti Divo can sprint at 200+ mph. But who else but Koenigsegg would make something like the four-seater Gemera? And as Doug DeMuro explains in his latest …
