Koenigsegg Jesko
Koenigsegg has unveiled an all-new megacar – the Koenigsegg Jesko – at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show. Jesko inherits the mantle left by the Agera RS as the leading track-focused, road-legal car for those looking for the ultimate in vehicle performance.
Jesko von Koenigsegg was a key presence at Koenigsegg Automotive during its formative years. His considerable business acumen helped steer the company through many early challenges. Now retired and in his 80’s, Jesko von Koenigsegg and his wife, Brita, were on-hand at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show to see his namesake vehicle introduced to the world.

The new Koenigsegg Jesko is unapologetically designed to be the most capable track-oriented car ever made for the road. It is engineered for prodigious speed – both straight-line and lateral – with total driver control. That doesn’t mean one has to be uncomfortable, however. Jesko is equipped with a full suite of creature comforts and a level of convenience more befitting a grand tourer than your typical track weapon. The simple push of a button on the elegant Koenigsegg remote control operates Autoskin, the pioneering body opening system first shown on the Regera. Minituarised hydraulics that were initially designed to operate aerodynamic systems now engage to open the car’s doors and hoods, allowing true touchless entry.
The shape is instantly familiar and there are a number of design cues that tip their hat in respect to the outgoing Agera. The dip between the rear lamps, for example, which is present, but done in a more modern way. The wraparound windscreen is there, too, but now has more of a fighter jet stance thanks to a taller roof line. The headlamps were given a more dynamic approach, morphing closer to the Regera shape but retaining an identity of their own. Cues from the Regera do not stop there. Jesko has a similar design at the rear with an open design for increased airflow and an exhaust reminiscent of the inverter heat extraction outlet on the Regera. The air ducts at the front wheel are also similar.
• Re-designed 5.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine producing 1280hp on standard gasoline and 1600hp on E85 biofuel (in some markets)
• Revolutionary new 9-speed Koenigsegg Light Speed Transmission (LST)
• 4 valves per cylinder, flat-plane crankshaft, double overhead camshafts, dry sump lubrication
• Gasoline: 955 kW (1280 hp) at 7800 rpm, redline at 8500 rpm. E85 (in some markets): 1195 kW (1600 hp)
• Torque: 1000 Nm from 2700 to 6170 rpm Max torque: 1500 Nm at 5100 rpm
