The Koenigsegg Jesko is a Swedish hypercar combining extreme engineering with advanced aerodynamic design, capable of exceeding 300 mph.

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 twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 that, on E85 fuel, delivers an astonishing 1,600 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque. The transmission is the innovative Light Speed Transmission (LST), a nine-speed multi-clutch gearbox enabling near-instantaneous shifts.

Active aerodynamics are a key feature. The Jesko features a large rear wing and front flaps electronically controlled to generate up to 3,080 pounds of downforce at high speeds. The body is made of carbon fiber, keeping dry weight around 3,130 pounds. The suspension system uses double wishbones with adjustable dampers, ensuring stability even in tight corners.

Production is limited to 125 units, all sold out before manufacturing began. The base price exceeds $3 million. The Jesko can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds, and its theoretical top speed exceeds 330 mph, though never officially recorded. The car is equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires developed specifically for the model.
