In June of last year, Koenigsegg reclaimed the 0-400-0 km/h world record from the electric Rimac Nevera with their Regera.
The Regera set a new world record by completing the feat in just 28.81 seconds, an impressive achievement for a decade-old hypercar. But on June 27th, Koenigsegg broke their own record using the Jesko Absolut.
The Jesko Absolut, powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 1,600 horsepower on E85 fuel, features a special lightning-fast gearbox with seven clutches for smooth, rapid gear changes. With less drag due to the absence of a big wing, it’s a straight-line speed demon with incredible acceleration.
Driven by Markus Lundh, the Jesko Absolut went from 0-400-0 km/h in less than 30 seconds, achieving an official time of 27.83 seconds over a distance of 2144 meters. Remarkably, this was done without the help of electric motors or spoilers to aid braking. Want to see it in action? Check out the YouTube video below!
