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, the father of company founder Christian von Koenigsegg. The car was designed to be the fastest production car in the world, with a theoretical top speed exceeding 330 mph (531 km/h), though it has never been officially verified.

The engine is an internally developed twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 that delivers 1,280 hp on standard gasoline and up to 1,600 hp on E85. The transmission is a nine-speed automatic called the Light Speed Transmission, which enables extremely quick gear changes. The Jesko also features active aerodynamics, including a large rear wing that generates up to 3,086 lb (1,400 kg) of downforce.

Production is limited to just 125 units, all already sold. The starting price was around $3 million. The car is built from carbon fiber, with a dry weight of only 3,130 lb (1,420 kg). Among its innovations are a steering wheel with a touchscreen display and rear-wheel steering to improve stability at high speeds.

The Jesko represents the pinnacle of Swedish automotive engineering, combining lightweight construction, extreme power, and cutting-edge aerodynamics. While no official speed record exists, it is estimated to surpass the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, potentially becoming the fastest production car ever made.
