    The King's Egg is Gold! (dark gold)

    Battery requirements aside, imagine what might happen if you fitted a bike with a motor smaller than a stock GS750 that produces almost ten HP per pound..... 86 pounds = 800 HP!!

    Koenigsegg has a new electric motor, they call "Dark Matter" that actually fits this description !!

    Koenigsegg has reinvented the wheel when it comes to efficient e-motors. How is the Dark Matter so different and why is this important?


    how it works: (maybe)

    Koenigsegg has developed one small electric motor before, however its new 800-horsepower "Dark Matter" unit is particularly impressive.

      It might appear that way, but there will be a huge amount of hydrocarbons used/burned in generating the energy needed in the production and transportation of the various components and then .of the motor itself.

        I saw mention of a V8 in the article, to pair up with the motors.
        Mmm.... hydrocarbons.
