Koenigsegg Jesko Attack Review
[+] Pros
- 1,600 hp on E85 biofuel delivers genuinely extreme performance alongside the extra grip
- Generates up to 1,400 kg of downforce — among the highest of any road-legal car in existence
- Rear-wheel steering adds genuine agility despite the car’s extreme performance envelope
[-] Cons
Verdict
The Jesko Attack isn’t trying to win a top-speed argument — it’s built for drivers who care more about lap times than headline numbers, and on that front it delivers in a way few road-legal cars can match. If the Absolut is Koenigsegg’s answer to “how fast can a car go,” the Attack is its answer to “how hard can a car corner,” and it’s arguably the more technically impressive of the two.

Koenigsegg Jesko Attack Description
The Koenigsegg Jesko Attack is the track-focused half of Koenigsegg’s Jesko lineup, built around one clear philosophy: forget top speed, chase cornering grip instead. Where its sibling, the Jesko Absolut, strips away every drop of drag in pursuit of a record-setting top speed, the Attack goes the opposite direction entirely — a towering active rear wing, an aggressive front splitter, and aerodynamics engineered to physically press the car into the road. Named after Jesko von Koenigsegg, father of company founder Christian von Koenigsegg, the Attack is built in extremely limited numbers as part of the 125-unit combined Jesko production run, with original pricing around $2.85 million before options.
Engine and Performance
The Jesko Attack is powered by a 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, producing 1,280 hp on regular petrol and up to 1,600 hp when running on E85 biofuel. Power runs through Koenigsegg’s own 9-speed Light Speed Transmission (LST), a multi-clutch gearbox that can jump directly between any two gears instead of shifting sequentially, keeping the engine locked into its optimal power band regardless of how aggressively you’re driving.
Acceleration & Top Speed
Straight-line performance is still ferocious, but it’s not the Attack’s reason for existing. Unlike the Absolut, which is chasing a theoretical 300+ mph top speed, the Attack is deliberately tuned to sacrifice some of that outright pace in exchange for cornering ability — its massive wing and splitter add drag that caps top speed well below the Absolut’s target, in exchange for grip the Absolut simply doesn’t have.
Design and Styling
The Attack is instantly identifiable by its towering active rear wing and aggressive front splitter, both functional rather than decorative — every visible aero element exists to generate downforce, not to look dramatic for its own sake. Exposed carbon-fibre weave across the body is common on customer cars, with Koenigsegg offering extensive bespoke finishes, including fully exposed carbon paintwork that alone has been optioned at over $440,000 on some builds.
Chassis and Handling
This is where the Attack earns its name. At speed, it generates up to 1,400 kg of downforce — roughly equal to the car’s own weight — pressing it into the track with a force most road-legal cars never come close to. The front suspension adds an extra Triplex damper specifically to control squat under that extreme aerodynamic load, a detail borrowed more from prototype racing cars than anything you’d find on a typical hypercar.
Wheels and Tyres
The Attack rides on hollow carbon-fibre wheels weighing under 7 kg per corner, dramatically reducing unsprung weight and improving both acceleration and cornering response compared to conventional forged wheels.
Braking System
Carbon-ceramic brakes with in-house designed calipers handle stopping duties, engineered specifically to cope with repeated hard braking from extreme speeds without fade — a genuine necessity given how the Attack is actually driven on track days.
Technology and Features
Inside, the cabin is deliberately sparse but genuinely usable, centred around a portrait touchscreen and, on 2026-model cars, an updated rotating SmartCluster digital display. It’s a minimalist approach that prioritizes function over luxury, in keeping with the Attack’s track-first identity.
Colours
The Attack sits opposite the Absolut in the Jesko range and is offered with effectively unlimited bespoke colour and carbon finish options.

Koenigsegg Jesko FAQs
The Attack is built for downforce and cornering with a large rear wing, generating up to 1,400 kg of downforce, while the Absolut removes the wing and smooths the body for minimum drag and maximum top speed.
The Attack prioritizes downforce over top speed, so it doesn’t chase the Absolut’s theoretical 300+ mph target — exact figures aren’t officially published by Koenigsegg.
Original pricing was around $2.85 million before options; on the current resale market in 2026, prices range from roughly $4 million to $5.7 million.
1,280 hp on regular petrol, rising to 1,600 hp when running on E85 biofuel.
