  • This is the new Koenigsegg Jesko, named after Christian Von Koenigsegg's father the Jesko is the ultimate expression of a track focused, road going Koenigsegg. Koenigsegg have developed their own gearbox in house, with the lightning shift speeds of a dual clutch transmission but the weight and size saving of a single clutch gearbox and capable of coping with 1500nm torque! The Jesko has moved the game on for Koenigsegg beyond anything I had imagined. The newly developed engine with a new flat plane crank for the twin turbo charged V8 is now capable of developing 1600hp and Koenigsegg believes this will be one of if not the fastest globally homologated supercar...ever.
    Big thank you to Michelin for the access to Koenigsegg at such a special time!

      its all well and good doing things like that that look fancy and you can show off about, but Christian is a real engineer, saving weight where it's not visible, where it can't be appreciated visually, only in the hunt for performance and pushing boundaries.

      I think you can’t really compare Koenigsegg and Bugatti. Bugatti wants to be unique in terms of the W16 engine and exquisite materials. They know the name Bugatti and the big engine are the biggest sellingpoints for them. And to super rich people that already have 15+ cars (most of them probably V8s) I can understand that they want their most expensive car to be very different to the rest. Koenigsegg actually wants to push limits and develop new technologies... But the Chiron is also a masterpiece and lightweight for having double the engine size of a Koenigsegg

Seeing that they just put out cars without gears, building all-carbonfibre rims etc. because it might be possible and efficient somehow makes me laugh about other OEMs existing for 3 times as long

      Remember that Ferrari and Lambo have indisputable gains in this segment meanwhile, Jesko is just a fantasy of a supercar one of the most expensive and fastest fantasies for the richest in the world. The question of servicing these cars in the future remains mysterious, meanwhile Lamborgini and Ferrari are often in second and third hands. So it is understandable that the fight for the client will be fierce and companies do not want to reveal their technologies. Both Jesko and Pagani will always be willing.

      thats because inspiring leadership with great passion for the business brings out the best from their employees too. Big companies just slowly milk the community and do not really try too hard because its easier that way. If you are an engineer and you want to kill your passion for what you do just join the largest manufacturers in the world. But if you want to have a job that feels like an exciting road trip you need to work for companies like Koenigsegg, tesla, spacex etc.

      I'm a child of the Enzo/Ferruccio (F40/Countach) era, and had those posters on my wall as a boy/teen. They were FOR SURE the benchmarks, at the time... but your generation is lucky to have Christian & Horacio, that's for sure. They are resetting all the benchmarks, and taking automotive engineering, CFD, design, automotive material science, to a whole new level, nay, dimension. It's a glorious time to be alive, if you're a car guy/gal. Happy your generation has stuff like this to put on your walls & screen-savers, and to populate your dreams. My dream of owning a Ferrari or top-notch Porsche has driven my professional ambition, and I'm close... really close. Wish i was younger, but if i was, i'd have wrecked it long ago. Older and wiser and safer driver now that i'm almost 50, so poking around at 65mph in a 911 Carrera Turbo, sounds just about right to me! Happy dreaming my friend... aim high. Maybe one day you'll have a Pagani or a Koenigsegg! Just think of what YOUR kids will have!?! The mind boggles. If automotive evolution progresses at the same pace, as it has between mine & your generation, I cannot even IMAGINE what's in store for us in the NEXT 20-30 years.

      The engine and transmission are always the most heaviest components on a car
      Example:
      Honda K20: 405lbs
      CHEVY LS: ~400lbs
      2JZ-GTE: ~600lbs
      Amazing how a V8 weights as much as a I4 and 200lbs less than a I6.

Down to earth...he represents his brand in such a way as to make every car he makes as exquisite and rare and valuable as his vision of that car being actually used not just sitting parked in a garage. From the ghost logo...to the Koenigsegg pedals, to the "naked carbon" surface, or the carbon wheel...the bending of the wing for more surface area to making this 300mph yet more stable and THIS vehicle meets the requirements of safety throughout the world making it street legal...Koenigsegg is on a completely different level!

    Amazing, amazing video, James! Next level stuff here, I'd say maybe even crazier than some of the stuff in the Valkyrie spec video. Thank you for sharing as always.
