Koenigsegg's track and top-speed hypercar (2019+). 5.0 V8 making 1,280 horsepower. Designed for 300+ mph top speeds.

The Koenigsegg Jesko is a hypercar produced from 2019. The Jesko was named after Christian von Koenigsegg father (Jesko von Koenigsegg). The 5.0L twin-turbo V8 makes 1,280 horsepower on E85 fuel (1,600 horsepower with extended fuel pressure). The car is designed for both track use and top speed records. Two main Jesko variants exist. The Jesko Attack is the focused track variant with aggressive aerodynamics generating 3,000+ pounds of downforce at speed. The Jesko Absolut is the top-speed-focused variant with reduced drag for theoretical top speeds projected to exceed 330 mph. Limited production globally. The Jesko represents the engineering peak of Koenigsegg modern hypercars. Pricing starts around $3 million. On WhipJury, Jesko submissions are extremely rare but reliably top voting.

Frequently asked questions about Koenigsegg Jesko

How fast is the Jesko Absolut?
Theoretical projections exceed 330 mph based on aerodynamic calculations. No production-trim verified record has been set yet. Real-world top speed depends on tires, conditions, and driver skill. The Jesko Attack is designed primarily for track use; the Absolut for top-speed records.
What is the difference between Attack and Absolut?
Different focuses. Attack has aggressive aerodynamics for maximum downforce (3,000+ pounds at speed) for track lap times. Absolut has reduced drag for top speed (no aggressive aero, focused on minimal aerodynamic resistance). Same powertrain; different aerodynamic approach.
How much does a Jesko cost?
New: starts around $3 million. Limited production. Used Jesko pricing has not yet developed extensively since the model is recent. Pricing is competitive with Pagani Utopia and recent Bugatti products.
Is the Jesko reliable?
Too new for definitive long-term data. Initial production has been generally reliable. Common issues are typical for high-performance hypercars: occasional electronic concerns, scheduled service intervals. Koenigsegg provides specialist service.
Why is it named Jesko?
After Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of Christian von Koenigsegg (founder of the company). Christian named the car in honor of his father. The naming is part of Koenigsegg personal connection to the company products.
