Markus Lundh

Swedish Koenigsegg prototype technician and factory test driver, hired as a production assembler in 2015, who drove Jesko prototypes and later the Jesko Attack's Laguna Seca lap and the Jesko Absolut's 2024–2026 straight-line records.

Lundh grew up in Utvälinge, the son of a truck driver, building Lego cars, drawing models and reading motorsport magazines that his mother used to quiz him on horsepower. After a three-year vehicle-mechanic education just up the road from Koenigsegg he worked at a Volvo dealership. A friend already at the factory, who had been tuning One:1 and Regera cars, urged him to apply. In 2015 Koenigsegg hired him to assemble bonnets, doors and interiors.

After a year on the line he rode with the five-person test team, then drove, and spent three years on pre-delivery testing of customer cars before moving into prototype work. He has said he is not from a racing background. Early Jesko development meant weekly Light Speed Transmission changes — in and out of the gearbox, then uprights, wishbones, seats and aero — with no buffer between driver and engineer. Koenigsegg named him the Jesko prototype driver in July 2021.

On 18 August 2024 neither Lundh nor the Jesko Attack had been to Laguna Seca. He recorded a 1:24.86 lap on the 3.6-kilometre circuit, timed by Racelogic, then a homologated-production-car record. On 4 November 2025 he returned in a Sadair's Spear fitted with an extra muffler for a 90 dB limit and lowered the mark to 1:24.16.

Lundh also drove the Jesko Absolut in its 2024 and 2025 acceleration-and-braking record runs at Örebro. On 27 June 2024 a standard-condition car reached 412 km/h and returned to rest in 27.83 seconds. On 7 August 2025, on drying tarmac after rain, the same car and new software cut 0–400–0 km/h to 25.21 seconds, Racelogic-verified. On 6 June 2026 he added 8.54 seconds at 305 km/h over the quarter-mile and 12.76 seconds at 373 km/h over the half-mile at Ängelholm.
