Opting for the V-8 lifts the output to as much as 2,300 hp when using E85 fuel.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"static-marker-video-player-primis\"\/><\/p>\n<p>According to von Koenigsegg, since the demand was so low, he managed to persuade the buyers wanting the 3-cylinder, dubbed the TFG (Tiny Friendly Giant) engine, to opt for the V-8. It means the 3-cylinder will be put on the shelf, though von Koenigsegg said future applications are planned, including potentially in the Gemera.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-cylinder engine, a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-3, is able to produce a peak 600 hp, thanks in part to a Koenigsegg&#8217;s own cam-less technology <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1106779_engineering-explained-tackles-koenigseggs-camless-engine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">known as FreeValve<\/a>.
