Kimera Debuts K-39 Hypercar With Koenigsegg V8 at Villa d’Este

It marks the first time Koenigsegg has provided its V8 to another brand.

Overview

  • Kimera unveiled the K-39 during the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, presenting a street‑legal Stradale and a wilder Pikes Peak version.
  • The car uses an adapted 5.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 from Koenigsegg, reported at roughly 1,000 hp and about 1,200 Nm, in a first‑ever engine supply to an outside company.
  • The clean‑sheet build features a carbon monocoque, a mid‑engine, rear‑drive layout, and a Cima seven‑speed manual with no hybrid system.
  • Dallara supported development and aero work to pursue low weight and sharp, track‑focused handling.
  • Official performance numbers have not been released, and Kimera says a tiny run—cited as 20 cars—was already reserved at the premiere.
