It’s a hybrid, powered by two available combustion engines as well as a single, powerful electric motor known as the “Dark Matter.“ How is it so small and so powerful? We don’t have extensive details of the device, but we can tell a lot by what Christian Von Koenigsegg, the company’s founder, has had to say about it.
