This is the wingless Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut - according to Christian von Koenigsegg: “The name Absolut comes from the fact that this is the absolute fastest Koenigsegg we will ever make.” Yikes.
The engine is a flat plane crank 5.1-litre twin-turbo V8 that for the most part feels naturally aspirated and always very angry indeed. It produces 1,578bhp and 1,106lb ft of torque, can rev from idle to 8,500rpm in 0.2 seconds, 0-62mph takes around 2.5 seconds and top speed in this Absolut version is theoretically the scary side of 310mph. We say theoretically, because no one’s found the space, or the brass balls, to find out yet...
Only 125 will ever be built costing around £2.3m each, though deep pockets won’t help here - they’re all completely sold out.
Allow Top Gear magazine's Jack Rix to be your guide on the fastest Koenigsegg ever.

The thing about Christian is that he always improve, not like other brands that make 6 versions of 1 car and they all have 5 hp of difference each, but Christian break records and limits with each car, what a real man and a company should strive to, improvements.

@The_Situation Жыл бұрын

Other brands have massive restrictions and many variables to consider when creating standard cars. They have to make them safe, economical, attractive looking, etc etc but most importantly, affordable; contrary to what you're saying, they do all this whilst constantly improving what's on offer compare a Ford, BMW, or VW from now and 20, or even 10 years ago and they have come on leaps and bounds. Christian is not bound by these restrictions. I'm not taking anything away from Christian, I'm just saying you can't really compare a hypercar company with your average car manufacturer.

@EpicNoob99 Жыл бұрын

@@The_Situation only thing I'd agree with you on is affordability. They worry about every other thing you mentioned. Though it may not be as economical with it's twin turbo v8 as say a prius, every car they make is also tuned to run on bio fuel. As for safety, they always try to get their cars homologated for every country and standard. And the carbon fibre monocoque is a lot more sturdy than you'd think (though it would be a shame to crash it). And as a hypercar producer they obviously have to worry about the styling of their vehicles

At this rate, the latest Huracan will still be a thing in 2060 and McLaren will still be using the same old V8 and the same headlights in their 965 LT maybe. Ferrari was using the 458 platform till the F8. None of these companies make their own gearboxes, they have specialist companies doing that for them. But those companies too haven't invented anything new since the Dual Clutch transmission arrived. I am surprised why no engine manufacturer tried camless when Koenigsegg is doing it out of a garage shed. Koenigsegg has literally invented the wheel.

Wrong decision, being a hypercar doesn't mean only speed, it's about the quality, the design, the engine, the stability.. Koenigsegg makes light weight cars with a maxed out V8. the Agera had a good looking exterior but Jesko?!? Wth!? It looks so ugly af.. No doubt Koenigsegg makes good cars and I have respect for Christian Von Koenigsegg but it doesn't make Koenigsegg any better than Bugatti. if Bugatti wanted to make just fast cars, they would have reduced the weight and quality of the chassis and everything and could have crossed 350 mph. Bugatti is an epitome of Hypercars , it defines what a hypercar is.. Edit: I grew up.,Koenigsegg makes really fast, beautiful and mouth watery cars. I used to hate a bit on Koenigsegg but now i don't. I love Koenigsegg. Specially the AGERA RS and the REGERA. those are real beauties. I mean you can literally jerk off to those two beauties. Now Bugatti. Let's talk about Bugatti. So Bugatti is still my fav Hypercar brand and I'll simply not put a Bugatti against a Koenigsegg because "If comparable, It's no longer a Bugatti". 🗿 Peace

But somehow they did it - and all this in spite of regulations closing in on them, soon shutting the window on the internal combustion engine for good. Without going the hybrid route, you don't actually see any car companies raising the bar anymore and Koenigsegg, with the Jesko program, is the one exception as far as I can tell.

The amount of innovation such a small, relatively “up-start” company has made in such a small amount of time is incredible. Koenigsegg is leaps and bounds ahead of “established” supercar manufacturers.

The transmission in this just "never" gest the praise it really deserves. It is a engineering marvel and a very clever design. It can handle as much torque as a Bugatti dual clutch, shifts faster and more flexible on gear choice, and weighs a lot less. Just brilliant engineering bu such a small company as Koenigsegg.

It's a good looking car, both variants. Love the Saab 900 style wraparound windscreen that they've adhered to. The level of engineering is out of this world.
