Overview
Remember a time when a hypercar named Agera RS which broke the record of being the world’s fastest car which was able to hit a top speed of 278 mph ? Well that beast was engineer by the Swedish hypercar maker Koenigsegg which is popular for making one of the rudest, rarest and powerful cars on the planet. And the company’s new Jesko, manages to honour its predecessor’s legacy pretty well. With it’s demeanour and vigorous looks and striking design language packing a twin-turbo V8 which is charge up to deliver a shattering 1280 hp which is harness by a fluid automatic gearbox which comes at a ridiculous price tag of a whopping $3 Million and a rarity which is seen in every Koenigsegg cars.
What’s New?
The Koenigsegg Jesko will be an all new model which will join the rest of the Koenigsegg lineup for this year and will be made exclusively with just 125 units of them which have already sold out.
Engine, Transmission, 0-60 mph, Top Speed & Performance
The new Koenigsegg Jesko will come with two drivetrain options with both of them featuring a 5.0 Litre twin-turbocharged V8. The base variant which makes 1280 hp and the E85 which makes a crazy 1600 hp and 1106 lb ft of torque and carries the world’s lightest crankshaft which weighs just 28 pounds crafted from a single solid steel billet. Harnessed by a fluid and courageous LST (Light Speed Transmission) nine speed automatic transmission built by the company itself which features a multi clutch design which is said to provide even more quick gear shifts and powers it’s rear wheels for the added performance thrill and can turn in the same direction as the front wheels helps in better cornering grip and improves stability.
And can blast off at a ridiculous 2.5 seconds from 0-60 mph. And can reach a top speed of an insane 300 mph claimed by the Swedish manufacturer and can theoretically reach a top speed of an absurd 350 mph under the right conditions. Man, that’s just beyond imagination and I’ll lose my mind by just visualising it. And thanks to its all carbon fibre and Kevlar body with a monolock cabin it generates a downforce of a crazy 3086 pounds which is even more than the Agera RS. You step foot on the gas pedal and then this beast can turn from a sweet looking hypercar to an absolute madness.
