Kimera K-39 Debuts With Bespoke 1,000-HP Koenigsegg V8

A formal Koenigsegg partnership delivers bespoke tuning, cloud updates, plus a path to global certification.

Overview

  • Kimera unveiled the K-39 on Friday at Lake Como, showing a road car and a Pikes Peak racer in Martini colors.
  • A dedicated twin‑turbo Koenigsegg V8 targets 1,000 hp with 885 lb‑ft, revs to 8,250 rpm, and uses smaller turbos for quicker response.
  • Beyond the engine, buyers get Koenigsegg Cloud diagnostics with over‑the‑air updates plus market‑specific calibration, with Kimera working toward worldwide approval.
  • Production will be very limited, with more than twenty allocations already made, with the first ten offered a Pikes Peak‑inspired aero package.
  • Kimera plans a 2026 showcase at Spa, Le Mans, Goodwood’s Festival of Speed, Monterey Car Week, and a Las Vegas concours, while dialogue with Dallara continues and the gearbox choice is still unconfirmed.
