The Quest for the Fastest Car
Koenigsegg is known for pushing the boundaries of speed and engineering. In 2020, the Swedish hypercar manufacturer unveiled the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolute, which is designed with a single mission – to become the fastest production car in the world. Unlike the Jesco Attack (track-focused), the Absolute is built entirely for dominance at top speed, with aerodynamics and power adjusted to perfection.
The story behind Koenigsegg Jesko Absolute
The car is named after the company’s founder Christian von Königsegg’s father, Jesko von Königsegg, in honor of his influence and inspiration.
Its goal is to cross the 500 km/h speed limit.
Koenigsegg has announced that the Jesco Absolut is designed for speeds in excess of 500 km/h (310 mph), with the aim of breaking world records and redefining hypercar performance.
The main features of the design of the Jesco Absolute
Aerodynamic Excellence
The Absolute has a slippery body design with a drag coefficient of only 0.278 cd, which helps it achieve extreme speed.
Smooth rear fins
Instead of the large rear wing like the Jesco Attack, the Absolute has two smaller fins inspired by fighter jets for better stability.
Lightweight carbon fiber body
The entire body is made of lightweight carbon fiber, which increases strength while reducing weight.
Performance and Engine Power
A twin-turbocharged monster
The Jesco Absolut is powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers up to 1,600 horsepower on E85 biofuel.
Lightning-Speed Gearbox
It features Koenigsegg’s revolutionary 9-speed Light Speed Transmission (LST) for seamless power delivery.
Estimated maximum speed
Under the right conditions, Koenigsegg claims the Absolute can surpass 330 mph (532 km/h), making it the fastest production car ever built.
Koenigsegg Jesco Absolute Price and Specifications
The Koenigsegg Jesco Absolut starts at around $3 million (about ₹25 crore), but has limited production. Only a limited number of cars will be built, ensuring its exclusivity among collectors and hypercar lovers.
