Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Review
[+] Pros
- Exceptionally low drag coefficient improves both speed and efficiency
- Genuine shot at the fastest production car top speed ever recorded
[-] Cons
- Far less cornering grip than the Attack due to minimal downforce
Verdict
The Jesko Absolut is Koenigsegg’s most singular statement of intent — a car built almost entirely around one number. It won’t out-corner the Attack, and it doesn’t try to, but as a pure expression of how fast a road-legal car can theoretically go, few production cars come close to matching it.

Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Description
The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is the top-speed-focused half of Koenigsegg’s Jesko lineup, built with a single obsession: outright velocity. Where the Jesko Attack piles on downforce for cornering grip, the Absolut strips virtually all of it away, smoothing the body into one of the slipperiest shapes ever put on a road-legal car. Koenigsegg has been open about the goal — a genuine shot at becoming the fastest production car ever built, with a theoretical top speed target north of 300 mph (500 km/h). Named after Jesko von Koenigsegg, father of founder Christian von Koenigsegg, it shares the same limited 125-unit production run as the Attack, with original pricing around $2.85 million before options.
Engine and Performance
The Absolut uses the same 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 as the Attack, with a flat-plane crankshaft producing 1,280 hp on regular petrol and up to 1,600 hp on E85 biofuel. Power runs through Koenigsegg’s 9-speed Light Speed Transmission (LST), a multi-clutch gearbox capable of skipping directly between gears rather than shifting sequentially — critical for sustaining acceleration all the way toward a genuinely extreme top-end speed.
Acceleration & Top Speed
This is where the Absolut separates itself entirely from the rest of the range. With a drag coefficient of just 0.278 — among the lowest of any production car ever built — the Absolut is engineered to keep accelerating well beyond the point where most hypercars run out of breath. Koenigsegg’s theoretical target sits above 300 mph, a figure that, if ever achieved in a verified run, would make the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut top speed the fastest of any production car in the world. As of now, that number remains a target rather than a confirmed record.
Design and Styling
Everything about the Absolut’s shape exists to reduce drag, not to look aggressive. The Attack’s towering rear wing and front splitter are gone entirely, replaced by a smoothed, almost minimalist body. In their place, two rear fins inspired by F-15 fighter jets sit at the back, providing high-speed stability with almost none of the drag penalty a conventional wing would add. The wheels are covered with aerodisc panels, closing off the spokes to further clean up airflow at speed.
Chassis and Handling
Unlike the Attack’s downforce-heavy setup, the Absolut runs a much lighter aerodynamic load — around 150 kg of downforce at speed, a fraction of the Attack’s 1,400 kg. That’s a deliberate trade-off: less aero grip in corners, but dramatically less drag holding the car back on a straight. The suspension is tuned accordingly, prioritizing high-speed stability over outright cornering aggression.
Wheels and Tyres
The Absolut’s wheels use aerodisc covers to smooth out airflow around what would otherwise be a major source of drag, paired with tyres specifically rated to handle sustained speeds far beyond what standard hypercar rubber is built for.
Braking System
Carbon-ceramic brakes with in-house calipers provide stopping power, engineered to shed speed reliably from velocities most road cars never approach — a genuinely difficult engineering problem when your car is built to go faster than almost anything else on the road.
Colours and Variants
The Absolut sits opposite the Attack in the Jesko lineup and shares the same extensive bespoke customization program, with buyers able to specify custom carbon finishes and colourways through Koenigsegg’s individual ordering process.

Koenigsegg Jesko FAQs
The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut top speed target sits above 300 mph (500 km/h), a figure Koenigsegg has openly stated as its goal for the car. This hasn’t been achieved or independently verified in an official record run yet, so it remains a theoretical benchmark rather than a confirmed number.
The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut horsepower output is 1,280 hp on regular petrol, rising to 1,600 hp when running on E85 biofuel identical to the Jesko Attack, since both variants share the same 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8.
The Absolut and Attack share a combined production run of 125 units total, with the exact Absolut-only split not officially confirmed by Koenigsegg. Both variants sold out well before deliveries began, reflecting the extreme demand for Koenigsegg’s flagship hypercar platform.
