Named After Christian von Koenigsegg’s Father The Jesko is named after Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of the company’s founder, Christian von Koenigsegg, in honor of his support in launching the brand.
Twin-Turbocharged 5.0L V8 Producing Up to 1,600 HP The Jesko’s 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 produces 1,280 hp on regular fuel and up to 1,600 hp on E85 biofuel, making it one of the most powerful production cars in the world.
The Jesko Absolut Aims to Break the Speed Record The Jesko Absolut, a high-speed version of the Jesko, is designed to break the world’s top speed record, targeting speeds over 500 km/h (310 mph).
Features the World’s Lightest V8 Crankshaft The Jesko's flat-plane crankshaft weighs just 12.5 kg (27.5 lbs), allowing the engine to rev up to 8,500 RPM, making it one of the highest-revving turbocharged V8s.
Equipped with the World’s Fastest Transmission The Jesko features Koenigsegg’s proprietary Light Speed Transmission (LST), a 9-speed multi-clutch gearbox that allows instantaneous gear shifts without lag.
Active Aerodynamics Generate Over 1,400 kg of Downforce The Jesko Attack version is built for track performance, generating up to 1,400 kg (3,086 lbs) of downforce, ensuring extreme cornering grip and stability.
Monocoque Chassis with Increased Space The carbon-fiber monocoque chassis is 40 mm longer and 22 mm taller than the Agera RS, improving cabin space while maintaining exceptional rigidity and safety.
Koenigsegg’s Triplex Suspension on Both Axles Unlike previous Koenigseggs, the Jesko has a triplex suspension system on both the front and rear axles, improving high-speed stability and handling.
Production Limited to Just 125 Units Only 125 Jesko units will be produced, and all were sold out within days of its reveal at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.
One of the Most Expensive Hypercars Ever The starting price of the Jesko is around $3 million, with customization options pushing prices significantly higher, making it one of the most exclusive hypercars in the world.

The Koenigsegg Jesko is a 1,600hp (on E85), aerodynamic masterpiece. The fastest Koenigsegg ever built (targeting 300+ mph) and a hypercar redefining engineering limits. With only 125 units planned (including Attack and Absolute variants), it’s rarer than a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport and twice as technologically advanced.
1. Price Ranges (EUR, Mid-2024)
Standard Jesko (Coupe & Attack)
Early Delivery/Resale (New, Unregistered): €3.5M – €4.5M(First allocations sold at €2.8M—now trading at huge premiums.)
Low-Mileage (Under 500 km): €4.0M – €5.0M+(Full factory warranty, never tracked, delivery spec intact.)
Special Editions
Jesko Absolute (Top Speed Variant): €5.5M – €7.0M+(Limited to ~40 units, optimized for 300+ mph.)
One-Off "Koenigsegg Naked Carbon" Spec: €6.0M+(Fully exposed carbon, no paint—only for VIP clients.)
2. Key Factors Affecting Value
✅ Exclusivity & Performance
Each Jesko is built to order—no two are identical.
Attack vs. Absolute: Track-focused vs. top-speed king (+€1M+ difference).
✅ Options That Add Mega Value
Titanium Exhaust (3D-Printed): +€200K
Full Naked Carbon Body: +€500K
Custom "Ghost" Inscription (Owner’s Signature in Headlights): +€300K
✅ Mileage Sensitivity
Every 1,000 km reduces value by ~€500K.
Over 2,000 km? Requires €1M+ drivetrain recertification.
⚠️ Critical Watch-Outs
Non-Koenigsegg Servicing (Voided warranty = 50% value drop).
Missing "Unobtanium" Parts (e.g., 3D-printed titanium pedals).
US Imports (EU taxes + modifications = €1M+ extra costs).
3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Official Channels:
Koenigsegg Factory (Ängelholm, Sweden)
Exclusive Dealers (e.g., Koenigsegg Munich)
Private Sales:
RM Sotheby’s Private Treaties
Hypercar Collector Groups (Discretionary Listings)
Pro Tip: The Absolute model is the better investment—its 300+ mph potential is unrepeatable in future hypercars.
4. Market Trends
📈 Instant Appreciation
First deliveries (2023) already reselling for 2x MSRP.
Absolute models will likely surpass €10M by 2030.
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Bargain" sub-€4M cars are usually scalper flips with hidden fees.
Non-factory modifications destroy Koenigsegg’s engineering balance.
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical:
9-Speed LST Gearbox Test (World’s fastest-shifting transmission).
E85 Fuel System Integrity (Critical for 1,600hp output).
📄 Paperwork:
Koenigsegg "One:1" Digital Ownership File (Blockchain-verified).
No Liens (These cars are collateral in high-finance deals).
Fun Fact: The Jesko’s rear wing generates 1,400kg of downforce. Enough to drive upside-down in a tunnel at 250km/h!
