Koenigsegg jesko angle

The Koenigsegg Jesko is a Swedish hypercar that combines extreme engineering and advanced aerodynamic design to achieve speeds exceeding 480 km/h.

About this subject

The Koenigsegg Jesko was unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show as the successor to the Agera RS. Its name honors Jesko von Koenigsegg, father of founder Christian von Koenigsegg. The engine is a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing up to 1600 hp on E85 fuel and 1280 hp on regular gasoline. The nine-speed transmission, called Light Speed Transmission (LST), enables near-instantaneous gear changes thanks to a multi-clutch system.

The Jesko's design heavily focuses on active aerodynamics. The large rear wing and front flaps automatically adjust to balance downforce and drag. The carbon fiber body keeps weight low, while the monocoque chassis ensures exceptional torsional rigidity. The front double wishbone and rear multi-link suspension provide stability at high speeds.

The Jesko aims to break the top speed record, expected to exceed 480 km/h. Koenigsegg also developed the Jesko Absolut, a version optimized for maximum speed without large aerodynamic devices. Only 125 units will be built, all already sold, cementing the model as one of the most exclusive and technically advanced hypercars in the world.
