The Koenigsegg TFG is an inline-3 engine. The TFG stands for "Tiny Friendly Giant." It is a Freevalve (camless piston engine), thus it does not have a camshaft.Instead it uses electro-hydraulic-pneumatic actuators that allow it to open each valve (both intake and exhaust) independently to maximise performance and minimise fuel consumption depending on driving conditions.
Camless valve trains have long been investigated by several companies, including Renault, BMW, Fiat, Valeo, General Motors, Ricardo, Lotus Engineering who developed electro-hydraulic valve actuation in the late 1980s as a spinoff of their active suspension program (both utilised similar electro-hydraulic actuation and control), Ford, Jiangsu Gongda Power Technologies, and Koenigsegg's sister ...
The solution, he said, was melding the automaker's camless "freevalve" combustion engine tech with electric assistance. You could cold-start the vehicle using pure alcohol, for instance.
Koenigsegg has also developed a camless piston engine which found its first application in the Gemera, which was introduced in 2020. [7] Koenigsegg develops and produces most of the main systems, subsystems and components needed for its cars in-house instead of relying on subcontractors. [8]
The Gemera is the first four-seater car built by Koenigsegg. It was announced that it would be powered by a compact engine weighing only 70 kg (150 lb). The engine was so small because it was supposed to be a camless piston engine using Koenigsegg's Freevalve technology, the first such engine announced for a production car.
Koenig Specials GmbH (known widely as Koenig) is a German tuning house based in Munich that specialised in modifications to European luxury cars but gained notability in the 1980s and 1990s for their performance modifications to Ferraris.
