You may be familiar with Koenigsegg, the Swedish car manufacturer that's known for its outlandish and excessive supercars. Not only do Koenigsegg's cars go really fast, they make use of groundbreaking technology, such as the single-gear transmission found in the Regera, and now, its new Raxial Flux electric motor it plans to use on the upcoming Gemera supercar.
A Raxial Flux motor, as they're calling it, combines the best of both worlds when it comes to radial flux and axial flux motors. Now, I'm no engineer, but some digging on the good old internet states that radial flux motors are known for producing loads of power, while axial flux motors prefer bottom-end torque. With Koenigsegg's Raxial Flux technology, I'm guessing it provides bucketloads of both power and torque in a compact package, and that's exactly what it is. The image above is that of the company's newest electric motor, and it's placed beside a 330 ml beverage can for perspective.
