Recently, a Koenigsegg Jesko Attack, the more track-oriented version of the Jesko, showed its impressive capabilities at the iconic Top Gear track Dunsfold.
Two variants
Jesko is available in two different designs: Absolut, where top speed is prioritized, and Attack, which is optimized for maximum lap times and a more balanced ride.

Absolutely world-class performance
Under the hood of the Jesko Attack we find a 5-liter V8 engine that, with E85 as fuel, delivers an incomparable 1,600 horsepower. This power makes it possible to reach a theoretical top speed of close to 500 km/h.
The power is distributed to the wheels via a ground-breaking 9-speed dual-clutch box that ensures both speed and precision.
