The 2023 Helix Poke is a Swedish hypercar in Driving Empire that was originally added on December 4, 2020 as part of the Wayfort to Driving Empire Update. It put on sale for $1,950,000 until its removal over a year later on December 24, 2021. The vehicle, however, made a return in the Halloween 2022 Event as one of the featured vehicles at the Circus Dealer (Cryptic Circus) for 9,200 candies. The vehicle was then sold as a limited for only 24 hours on November 6, 2022 with a price tag of $7,317,800 after the removal of Spookfest. As a result, only 1,648 of them were sold.
The vehicle is based on the 2021 Koenigsegg Gemera, a hybrid GT hypercar that was unveiled on March 3, 2020, at an online broadcast by Koenigsegg at the cancelled Geneva Motor Show. One of the most unique characteristics of this car is its lack of a B-pillar. This gives the vehicle the ability to seat up to 4 people. Besides that, its two large dihedral doors open forward which allow easier access to the cabin. The car is powered by 3 electric motors with 2 of them near the rear wheels and then 1 on the crankshaft. The car produces 1,100 hp from these electric motors and an additional 600 hp from a twin turbocharged, 2-liter, 3-cylinder internal combustion engine, making 1,700 hp in total.
Performance
In-game, it's average on Drag, one of the fastest on Highway, Circuit and Cross Country. Luck is however, a must when using this car, especially if you want to get that 1 second quicker in Circuit. It has above-average top speed and brakes and average acceleration and handling yet bit buggy. Because of that, it's semi-easy to use and it saves more time in Cross Country.

TBD. Coming Soon.
