# Jesko

Downforce through nine gears

The Jesko Attack is for circuit work: 1'400 kilograms of maximum downforce, a 9-speed multi-clutch transmission and a 1'600 hp E85 calibration. The 125-car allocation is shared with the low-drag Absolut.

2020 onward · 125 planned with Absolut · Ängelholm

## The price and the proof

Indicative road-car band $3.2M–$5M. Modeled values are not observed sales. Nothing here is investment advice.

Confidence: estimate. Editorial estimate anchored to the roughly $3 million launch price, the existing catalogue value and the shared 125-car allocation. No documented public auction sale of a Jesko Attack was found.

Attack and Absolut allocations, specification cost, delivery market and delivery status make private asking prices poor substitutes for completed sales.

## The Agera replacement turns toward the circuit

Koenigsegg unveiled the Jesko at Geneva in March 2019. Christian von Koenigsegg named it for his father, Jesko von Koenigsegg, who had backed the company during its early years.

Pre-series production began in 2021. The silver-and-green Attack specification retained the active wing and full aero package; the separate Absolut specification removed drag-producing surfaces for straight-line work.

In August 2024, factory test driver Markus Lundh recorded a 1:24.86 lap at Laguna Seca in a Jesko Attack. Racelogic recorded the run; a later Koenigsegg model has since lowered the production-car benchmark there.

| Highlight | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Any gear, without stepping through | The 90-kilogram Light Speed Transmission uses several wet clutches rather than one conventional gear path. Its control system can select the required ratio directly instead of shifting through every intermediate gear. |
| Aero load near curb mass | Koenigsegg quotes 700 kilograms of downforce at 250 km/h, 1'000 at 290 km/h and 1'400 at the aerodynamic maximum. The wing, splitter and underbody flaps are active parts of the package. |
| One run, two specifications | The 125 announced customer cars cover both Jesko Attack and Jesko Absolut. Koenigsegg has not published a final split between the two, so an Attack-only production count would be false precision. |

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Engine | 5.0L twin-turbo V8 |
| Power | 1'600 hp on E85 |
| Drive | Rear-wheel drive |
| Allocation | 125 with Absolut |
| Launch price | ~$3M |
