KOENIGSEGG JESKO
Christian von Koenigsegg, the visionary
founder of Koenigsegg Automotive,
began building supercars while still in his
twenties. Decades later, his progressive
company remains 昀椀ercely independent,
producing limited runs of cars with
absolutely staggering capabilities.
The Jesko, Koenigsegg’s latest
masterpiece, is available in two variants:
Absolut and Attack. The Absolut
prioritizes high-speed, low-drag stability,
while the Attack focuses on downforce
and track-optimized handling. Both
models are mind-blowingly fast –
accurate to the company’s strap line
‘Road Legal, Track Legend’ – and o昀昀er
eye-watering top speeds of 310mph, and
highly innovative technology, such as
the revolutionary 9-speed (LST) gearbox.
With production limited to just 125 units,
demand has far outstripped supply,
despite the $3 million starting price tag.
