We have recently written about the gauges Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut to break the speed record among cars produced “for the road.” The hypercar designed to develop the highest possible speed on the straight has proven itself in battle. And Koenigsegg itself announces that nothing faster modern technology allows them to produce.
Koenigsegg, a company known to any fan of really fast cars, is currently on a grand mission to break the most important records in the automotive world. Their latest creation, the Jesko hypercar, is setting new standards, setting the bar at a level that no one has reached before. Koenigsegg claims that Jesko is their magnum opus and they will never create anything faster.
How is the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut constructed?
Jesko is already impressive on paper. Weighing about 1,390 kg, this hypercar is built on a self-supporting (monocoque) carbon fiber chassis. This lightweight and extremely strong material provides structural rigidity while minimizing weight. Lightweight and durable.
Technical and material innovations
It conceals a newly designed twin-turbocharged V8 engine, generating 1,280 horsepower, and as much as 1,600 horsepower in the E85 version available in some markets. The Jesko is equipped with an advanced Light Speed Transmission (LST), which allows for lightning-fast gear changes, enhancing the vehicle’s overall performance.
The aerodynamic body design is optimized for stability at ultra-high speeds. The coefficient of drag (Cd) is just 0.278, an impressive result. Active aerodynamic elements, such as the rear wing and front splitter, dynamically adjust to provide optimal downforce and minimize drag.
The record so far
The previous record for production car speeds belongs to the SSC Tuatara, which reached 508.73 km/h. Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut intends to break this record. The car, according to rumors, can accelerate up to 531 km/h. If these speculations are confirmed, it will become the fastest production car in the world.
Is the new Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut record unique?
The records set by the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut are remarkable for several reasons. First, breaking the record of accelerating to 400 km/h and coming to a full stop in 27.83 seconds is an achievement that requires not only tremendous engine power, but also excellent aerodynamics, advanced traction control systems and precise brakes. Second place was 28.27 seconds. The Jesko Absolut accelerated to 400 km.h in 18.82, and braked in 9.01.
Second, reaching 531 mph would be a significant step forward in the automotive field, highlighting the ability of Koenigsegg engineers to push the boundaries of technology and design.
Limits of technological possibilities
The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is an exceptional piece of engineering. It has not only broken current records, but is also setting new goals for future car builders. Its successes show that boundaries in the automotive world are constantly being pushed. Are the technological possibilities almost limitless?
