The 2024 Koenigsegg Gemera is something genuinely special in Forza Horizon 6. It sits at the very top of the Koenigsegg S2 lineup by PI, brings the only AWD drivetrain the brand offers in the game, and combines speed with handling in a way that makes it genuinely competitive across every type of road event. If you want one car that does everything in S2 Class better than almost anything else, the Gemera is the answer. This guide covers every stat, what it excels at, how to get it, and where it fits in the wider S2 hypercar landscape.
Forza Horizon 6 Koenigsegg Gemera – Car Overview
The Koenigsegg Gemera is unlike any other car the Swedish manufacturer has ever built. It first appeared as a concept in 2020 and entered production as a 2024 model. On the outside, it looks like a dramatic low-slung hypercar. On the inside, it has four full seats, eight cupholders, heated and cooled storage, three-zone climate control, and wireless charging for front and rear passengers. Koenigsegg calls it the world’s first four-seat megacar.
The powertrain story is equally extraordinary. While the original concept used a 2.0-litre three-cylinder hybrid engine, every production customer ordered the optional HV8 version. So Koenigsegg made the 5.0-litre twin-turbo “Hot V” V8 — an adapted version of the Jesko’s engine with the turbochargers repositioned between the cylinder banks — the definitive production powertrain. Paired with Koenigsegg’s “Dark Matter” electric motor, a novel Raxial Flux unit producing 800 horsepower, the combined output is 2,300 horsepower on E85 fuel and 2,750 Nm of torque. This makes the Gemera the most powerful fully homologated production car ever built. Power is delivered through a 9-speed Light Speed Tourbillon Transmission (LSTT) — a refined version of the Jesko’s LST — to all four wheels with torque vectoring.
In Forza Horizon 6, the Gemera brings that same identity: AWD grip, explosive performance, and the versatility to compete everywhere.

Forza Horizon 6 Koenigsegg Gemera – Performance Ratings
The Gemera carries a PI of 900 — tied with the Koenigsegg CCGT as the highest in the entire Koenigsegg S2 lineup, and one of the highest in the full S2 class. Multiple community sources confirm its Speed, Acceleration, and Launch stats are described as exceptional, with its overall balance across all five stats placing it firmly in S-Tier. Confirmed individual figures from verified sources are as follows:
| Category | Rating |
|---|---|
| Speed | Very High (confirmed top-end competitive) |
| Handling | Very High (strongest AWD handling in Koenigsegg lineup) |
| Acceleration | Very High (described as absurd by community sources) |
| Launch | Very High (AWD traction advantage at standstill) |
| Braking | Strong |
| Overall PI | 900 (highest Koenigsegg in S2) |
The Gemera’s key advantage over every other Koenigsegg is that AWD layout. Every other Koenigsegg in FH6 is rear-wheel drive at stock. AWD means the Gemera puts its power down cleaner from a standing start, stays more predictable in wet conditions, and requires less driver skill to manage at full throttle out of corners. It is — as multiple sources put it — the easiest Koenigsegg to live with while still being one of the fastest.
Forza Horizon 6 Koenigsegg Gemera – Tier Rating
The Koenigsegg Gemera holds an S-Tier overall rating in Forza Horizon 6. It is consistently named as the best all-round S2 car for actual road racing — not just top-speed runs — because it combines the highest Koenigsegg PI with AWD traction and handling that works on technical circuits. Multiple tier lists rank it as the top pick in S2 when versatility matters. For the best cars in every class in FH6, the Gemera is the headliner at S2.
Forza Horizon 6 Koenigsegg Gemera – What It’s Best For
Road Races and Circuit Events
The Gemera’s combination of AWD traction and top-tier handling makes it the strongest Koenigsegg for mixed circuit and road race events. Where the Jesko demands careful throttle management on RWD and can step out on corner exits, the Gemera simply grips and goes. On Japan’s flowing road circuits — mountain passes, coastal routes, and expressway loops — it is consistently one of the most competitive cars available at S2.
Speed Traps
The Gemera’s high speed rating and competitive acceleration make it a strong speed trap car. It will not match the outright peak velocity of the Speed-10 Koenigseggs on the very longest approaches, but for most speed trap events it comfortably hits three-star scores. For a full breakdown of which car suits which trap type, see the best cars for speed traps and speed zones guide.
PR Stunts
Speed zones, danger signs, and speed traps all suit the Gemera well. Its well-rounded stat profile means it handles varied PR stunt types without needing separate cars. See the PR stunts guide for tips on three-starring every challenge type.
The Goliath and Long Mixed Races
For long endurance-style races like the Goliath that mix open roads with tighter sections, the Gemera’s balance is a major asset. It does not need a specialist tune for one section at the cost of another. It competes everywhere on the lap. See the Goliath race guide for route-specific car and strategy tips.
Open World and Expressway Driving
The Gemera is also one of the most enjoyable open-world cars at S2. It is fast enough to dominate Japan’s expressways and mountain routes, but the AWD layout and strong handling make it far more forgiving than pure RWD hypercars at extreme speeds. For the best roads to explore, check the best roads, mountain passes, and expressways guide.

Forza Horizon 6 Koenigsegg Gemera – Full Koenigsegg Lineup Comparison
Seven Koenigsegg cars appear in Forza Horizon 6. Here is how the Gemera fits within the brand’s complete S2 roster:
| Car | PI | Drivetrain | Rarity | Key Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 Koenigsegg Gemera | 900 | AWD | Epic | Best all-round S2 racer |
| 2008 Koenigsegg CCGT | 900 | RWD | Legendary | Best handling and braking in lineup |
| 2020 Koenigsegg Jesko | 870 | RWD | Legendary | Best all-round top-speed Koenigsegg |
| 2015 Koenigsegg One:1 | 890 | RWD | Legendary | Prestige collector’s car, Speed 10 |
| 2017 Koenigsegg Agera RS | 890 | RWD | Legendary | Best value Speed-10 Koenigsegg |
| 2016 Koenigsegg Regera | 886 | RWD | Legendary | Grand touring, smooth power delivery |
| 2011 Koenigsegg Agera | 810 | RWD | Legendary | Most affordable, best tuning headroom |
The Gemera and CCGT sit at the top of the PI table, both at S2 900. They are very different cars though. The CCGT is a pure circuit racer with near-perfect handling and braking but lower top speed. The Gemera is the complete package — fast in a straight line, strong in corners, and accessible for all skill levels thanks to AWD. For pure circuit racing with maximum grip, see the Koenigsegg CCGT stats guide. For the best top-speed Koenigsegg, see the Koenigsegg Jesko stats guide.
Forza Horizon 6 Koenigsegg Gemera vs Other Top S2 Cars
The Gemera does not just compete within the Koenigsegg lineup — it competes with the best S2 cars from any brand. Here is how it sits against the most relevant rivals:
- Mercedes-AMG ONE: The AMG ONE has a perfect Acceleration score and is the better pick for tight technical circuits where corner-exit speed is everything. The Gemera has a higher PI and stronger top-speed credentials. Both are AWD. The choice depends on whether you prioritise circuit racing or mixed high-speed events. See the Mercedes-AMG ONE stats guide.
- Porsche 918 Spyder: The 918 Spyder maxes both Launch and Acceleration but has lower handling. The Gemera is the better all-round racing car; the 918 is the better drag and sprint specialist. See the Porsche 918 Spyder stats guide.
- Koenigsegg Jesko: The Jesko leads on top speed and pure straight-line credentials. The Gemera leads on overall PI, AWD traction, and ease of use. For most road race events, the Gemera’s AWD advantage is significant.
Forza Horizon 6 Koenigsegg Gemera – Tuning Tips
The Gemera is already one of the strongest stock cars in S2. Targeted upgrades can push it further while preserving what makes it special:
- Tires: The Gemera’s AWD layout benefits enormously from better rubber. Upgrading to Semi-Slick or Race tires raises the already-strong handling further and improves both lateral grip and traction on corner exits. This is the highest-priority upgrade.
- Suspension: A race suspension setup refines the balance. With AWD, you can run slightly stiffer springs than you would on RWD — focus on keeping the car flat through fast sweepers where speed is highest.
- Differential: The AWD center differential is the most important tuning point on the Gemera. A mild rear bias on the center balance sharpens corner exits and reduces any understeer the AWD system introduces. Keep the rear differential acceleration setting high to maintain the strong launch character.
- Aero: Adding moderate rear downforce improves high-speed corner stability. The Gemera’s speed credentials mean it will be travelling very fast on Japan’s expressway sections — a little extra rear downforce prevents the car from feeling nervous at the top end.
- Brakes: Upgrading to race brakes adds to an already strong braking stat and gives you later braking points on technical circuits where the Gemera’s PI advantage should be decisive.

Forza Horizon 6 Koenigsegg Gemera – Real-World Car Facts
The real 2024 Koenigsegg Gemera is produced in Ängelholm, Sweden. Originally revealed in 2020 with a 2.0-litre three-cylinder hybrid powertrain producing 1,700 horsepower, every single customer who ordered one requested the optional HV8 engine instead. As a result, Koenigsegg made the 5.0-litre twin-turbo “Hot V” V8 — the same engine architecture as the Jesko, but repositioned with the turbochargers between the cylinder banks for a more compact layout — the standard production powertrain for the Gemera.
Combined with the “Dark Matter” electric motor producing 800 horsepower, total system output is 2,300 horsepower and 2,750 Nm of torque on E85 fuel. This makes the Gemera the most powerful fully homologated production car ever built. Power is sent through the 9-speed Light Speed Tourbillon Transmission to all four wheels with torque vectoring. Claimed acceleration from 0 to 62 mph is 1.9 seconds, and top speed is targeted at 248 mph. Despite all of this, the Gemera seats four adults comfortably, includes eight cupholders, three-zone climate control, and wireless charging — amenities that no other car at this performance level comes close to offering.
Forza Horizon 6 Koenigsegg Gemera – Is It Worth Getting?
If you have the Car Pass or are considering it, yes — the Gemera is one of the strongest arguments for buying it. A PI of 900, AWD drivetrain, and S-Tier all-round performance make it the most complete Koenigsegg in FH6 and one of the best S2 cars in the game regardless of brand. It is the rare hypercar that wins on circuits, speed traps, sprint races, and open-world driving without needing separate tunes for each.
If you are building a Koenigsegg collection, the Gemera is the natural endpoint — the highest PI, the newest model, and the most usable car in the lineup. Pair it with the Jesko for top-speed work and the CCGT for precision circuit racing, and you have the full breadth of what Koenigsegg offers in FH6 covered completely.

Final Thoughts
The 2024 Koenigsegg Gemera in Forza Horizon 6 is the most complete hypercar the Swedish brand has ever put in an open-world game. The highest PI in the Koenigsegg lineup, the only AWD layout, and an S-Tier overall rating combine to make it the default recommendation for any S2 race where versatility matters as much as raw speed.
It is a Car Pass exclusive — that is the one barrier. But for players who have the pass, claiming it should be the first thing they do. Nothing in the Koenigsegg garage is more capable across more event types. And given what the real car is — the world’s most powerful production vehicle with four seats and a cupholder for every passenger — it carries a story no other hypercar on Japan’s roads can match.
