Koenigsegg JeskoKoenigseggāsĀ new Jesko hypercar ā named after his father who helped him start his company ā claims over 300 mph as its top speed.
There are two different versions of the car; Koenigsegg designed one for top speed excursions to achieve 300 mph, and other with some serious downforce specifically tailored for the racetrack. No matter the variant, you get a new carbon fiber and aluminum chassis, new suspension setup, redesigned engine, and a special gearbox.
The car comes with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8. The company worked on the engine to make it more powerful and lighter than any other V8 it has produced. Itāll make 1,600 hp on E85 biofuel and 1,280 on regular gasoline. Torque numbers sit at 1,106 lb-ft. The car comes with a special 9-speed multi-clutch gearbox the company builds in-house.
Thanks to the huge front splitter, the big wing at the back, and the bodyās overall aerodynamic shape, the car produces a whopping 2,200 pounds of downforce at 170 mph. At the vehicleās top speed it makes over 3,000 pounds of downforce.
Koenigsegg plans to build 125 Jeskos over the course of the next few years. If youāve got your heart set on one youāll need just under $3 million. As always, Koenigsegg is expected to have at least one entrant in theĀ current hypercarsĀ market.
