Additionally, the Jesko Absolut also set new records as the fastest production car to reach 400 km/h, achieving this mark in 28.27 seconds, 18.82 seconds, and 19.2 seconds respectively. All tests were conducted by factory test driver Markus Lundh on an airfield in Sweden.
The Jesko Absolut is equipped with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine producing 1600 horsepower, and uses Koenigsegg’s Light Speed Transmission (LST), a nine-speed gearbox with seven clutches for extremely rapid shifts.
For these tests, the car was running on E85 fuel and featured only minimal modifications such as a safety cage and a special seat. Without the large rear wing and focusing on drag reduction, the Absolut version of the Jesko is optimized for straight-line speed, and founder Christian von Koenigsegg believes the car could reach up to around 530 km/h under ideal conditions.
