While there were so awesome reveals at the Geneva Show (Aston, Lamborghini, Bugatti) there was definitely a justifiable buzz around the Koenigsegg booth with the reveal of the all-new Jesko.
Key Points:
- Redesigned 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 8,500 RPM limit (1280 hp on pump gas, 1600 on E85 Ethanol) with a curb weight of 1,420 kgs (3130lbs).
- Nine-speed (Light Speed Transmission) a proprietary DCT trans that lets you skip to the ideal gear, regardless of speed for optimum acceleration. Example, in 7th, and need 4th, it goes down to 4 without having to pass 6 or 5.
- Active Aero provides over 1,000kgs )2204lbs) of downforce.
- Active rear-wheel steering
- New chassis for more head-room and leg-room.
- Named after Christian's father, Jesko, obviously. A really neat gesture in my book.
