a technological breakthrough at goodwood
The revolutionary Dark Matter Raxial Flux 6-phase E-motor took center stage at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed. With its unprecedented 800 horsepower and a torque of 1250 Nm, while weighing a mere 88 pounds, it is celebrated as the most powerful automotive electric motor in the world. The six-phase technology it employs marks a significant advancement in electric vehicle engineering, far surpassing conventional three-phase motors.
This technical leap promises to radically transform hypercar performance, setting new benchmarks for what is achievable in electric mobility.
innovations and unmatched performance
The Dark Matter isn’t just any motor; it’s a revolution in electric vehicle technology. Succeeding the Quark motor previously used in Koenigsegg’s Gemera, it represents a significant leap forward in both technology and performance.
The innovative ‘raxial flux’ design—a fusion of radial and axial flux motors—delivers both high power and substantial torque thanks to its optimized magnetic configuration. This innovation allows the Dark Matter to stand out with its compact size (13.15 inches wide, 11.93 inches high, and 4.41 inches deep) paired with phenomenal power output.
- High power density
- Compact size
- Optimized magnetic design
By integrating these motors, Koenigsegg is setting new standards for the future of electric vehicles.
