Koenigsegg Jesko: The “Fastest Father” In The World

6 March 2019 Redazione News

Let’s start with the name: Jesko von Koenigsegg is the father of the founder of the homonymous brand, constantly beyond the limit of the most unthinkable performances. The Jesko itself is a further evolution of the already absurd Agera RS and the ultimate tribute a son could make to his dad. Among the 5 fundamental aspects that make the Jesko what many already define as a step beyond being a “simple” hypercar we have:

1. THE ENGINE: a 5-liter twin-turbo V8 capable of producing 1,280hp (with standard petrol) and even 1,600hp on E85 biofuel
2. The new 9-speed GEARBOX, called LST (Light Speed Transmission), able to manage and exploit such power
3. Advanced AERODYNAMICS capable of producing up to 1,000kg of downforce
4. STEERING REAR AXLE that sharpens the handling and makes the Jesko sharp on the track and even on the road
5. Redesigned carbon fiber FRAME providing more space and visibility for occupants
