Jesko Absolut Makes His First Debut as The Fastest Car Koenigsegg Will Ever Make

Yes, that’s correct. This Koenigsegg is faster than any other.

Koenigsegg had announced plans to unveil a 300-mph version the Jesko at the Geneva Motor Show a year ago. The Jesko Absolut was unveiled by the Swedish hypercar brand, GIMS.

Although a top speed has not yet been determined, the company claims it is the fastest Koenigsegg and will continue to be the speed king till the end of the world. But how fast is it actually? “Looking at the math, our advanced simulations – it will be unbelievably quick.” This could indicate that it will travel faster than the 304.77mph (490 km/h) achieved by the Bugatti Super Sport 300+. Jesko Absolut’s heart and soul is a twin-turbo, 5.0-liter V8 that produces 1,280 horsepower and 1,000 Newton meters (738 pound-feet), when it runs on regular gasoline. E85 increases the output to 1,600 horsepower and 1,500 Nm (1.106 lb-ft). The nine-speed automatic transmission, which can change gears in a matter of seconds, channels all that power to the road.

Koenigsegg worked tirelessly to make the Jesko Absolut run as fast as possible. He lowered the drag coefficient from 0.278 to make it look impressively slim. More than 3,000 hours were spent on aerodynamic analysis and 5,000+ hours were spent designing and engineering the car. This is in addition to the work that the company did on the standard Jesko.

The technical specifications go beyond what the engine and gear shifts can deliver. Thanks to its lightweight construction and carbon fiber monocoque, the car is only 1,320 kg (dry). You can also remove the top and place it in the front. Koenigsegg claims that the Jesko Absolut can be used as a daily driver, even though it is a hypercar. The suspension is more flexible, making it easier to drive during normal driving.

Koenigsegg doesn’t promise a top speed run at the moment, but it does say it will “take the crown” if the opportunity presents itself.
