Koenigsegg Jesko

The Jesko is Koenigsegg's successor to the long-running Agera, and it carries a family name: it honours Jesko von Koenigsegg, father of the Swedish company's founder. It reached production in 2020, and the entire allocation was spoken for within days of the car's public debut. Mounted behind the cabin is a twin-turbocharged V8 built around a flat-plane crankshaft, a lighter, higher-revving design than the engine it replaced.

On pump petrol the V8 is already ferocious, but it is on E85 biofuel that it reaches its headline output of 1,600 hp. Power runs through a compact nine-speed multi-clutch gearbox that Koenigsegg calls the Light Speed Transmission, engineered to jump straight to any ratio rather than shifting sequentially. In total, Koenigsegg capped the Jesko at 125 cars, split across its two distinct body styles.

Buyers chose between two temperaments. The Attack is the track specialist, crowned by a towering rear wing and tuned for maximum downforce and cornering grip. The Absolut inverts that brief, shedding aerodynamic drag in pursuit of pure velocity; Koenigsegg calls it the fastest car it will ever build, with simulations pointing well beyond 300 mph. Between them, the Jesko distils the company's twin obsessions, grip and speed, into a single platform.
