The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut continues to break speed records for a production model, and this time it reached 359.8 km/h in half a mile, which is just over 800 meters.
The achievement was made at Koenigsegg’s test track and was revealed on social media by Christian von Koenigsegg, the strongman of the Swedish brand.
This new record achieved by the Jesko Absolut is yet another milestone for the super sports model, which is equipped with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine capable of producing 1600 hp and 1500 Nm of maximum torque. It accelerates from 100 to 200 km/h in 2.74 seconds and takes only 3.96 seconds to go from 200 to 300 km/h. It can accelerate from 0 to 400 km/h and back to 0 in 27.83 seconds, which is about 1 second less than the previous record of 28.81 seconds held by the Koenigsegg Regera, achieved in 2023.
A record-breaking track record for the Jesko Absolut, which, despite being a rear-wheel-drive supercar from Koenigsegg, is capable of putting all the power of the twin-turbo V8 onto the asphalt in an impressive manner.
