Koenigsegg unveils Koenigsegg Jesko at GIMS 2019

Owned by Christian von Koenigsegg, this Sweden based Koenigsegg brand too stands for supercars of the fastest kind.  Koenigsegg 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.

This car comes with a re-designed 5.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine producing 1280hp on standard gasoline and 1600hp on E85 biofuel. Maximum torque increases to 1500 Nm at 5100rpm with 1000+ Nm available anywhere between 2700 to 6170rpm. The engine is mated to a revolutionary new 9-speed Koenigsegg Light Speed Transmission (LST) and has an advanced aerodynamics offering over 1000kg of downforce with active rear-wheel steering.

The Jesko comes with re-designed carbon fibre chassis with more legroom, headroom and greater visibility. Jesko is named for Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of company Founder and CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg.

Jesko’s new Light Speed Transmission – designed in-house at Koenigsegg – is a 9-speed multiclutch unit that does away with traditional synch rings and makes changes between ANY gear possible at near light speed.
