Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut: Swedish hypercar aiming for top speed record with a twin-turbo V8 producing 1,600 hp.

About this subject

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is an ultra-aerodynamic, high-speed variant of the Jesko, unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Unlike the standard Jesko, which prioritizes downforce for cornering, the Absolut eliminates the rear wing and adopts a drag-optimized design, achieving a remarkably low drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.278. Its twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine, developed in-house, uses E85 fuel to produce up to 1,600 horsepower and 1,500 Nm of torque, paired with a nine-speed Light Speed Transmission (LST) for near-instantaneous gear changes.

Production of the Jesko Absolut is limited to just 125 units, all sold out before manufacturing commenced, with an estimated price exceeding $3 million. Koenigsegg also developed a direct and indirect injection system, along with a turbocharger featuring ultra-fast response technology, to ensure linear power delivery across the rev range. The Swedish company designed the car to surpass the 500 km/h barrier, although the official top speed has yet to be confirmed through independent tests.

To achieve such speeds, the Jesko Absolut features a carbon fiber body, active suspension, and carbon-ceramic brakes. The minimalist design includes strategically placed air intakes and lightweight, low-inertia wheels. Although it is a road-legal car, its focus is clearly on extreme performance, competing with models like the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport and the Hennessey Venom F5. Koenigsegg continues its tradition of innovation, using cutting-edge materials and engineering to create one of the fastest cars in the world.
