Becoming the fastest
Every surface element is constructed to reduce drag or surrounding turbulence while increasing high-speed stability. Just as powerful as its track-focused sibling, the Jesko Absolut is the more seamless and stealthier of the two.
With a drag coefficient value of only 0.278 Cd in combination with a frontal area of 1.88 m² and a minimum power output of 1600 bhp, the Jesko Absolut is destined to achieve higher, more extraordinary speeds than any Koenigsegg or any other fully homologated car before it. How fast? Time will tell. Looking at the math and our advanced simulations – it will be unbelievably fast.

The Jesko Absolut will be powered by a 1280 bhp (1600 bhp on E85), twin turbo charged V8 engine, featuring the world’s lightest V8 crankshaft that weighs just 12.5 kg. This flat-plane 180-degree crankshaft produces more power with greater efficiency while achieving a high 8500 rpm rev limit. Its design allows even firing across engine banks, creating a visceral engine sound. Koenigsegg has also designed super-light connecting rods and pistons to counter the tendency of greater vibrations in flat-plane engines.
The CFD team meticulously went over every inch and design detail of the car, defining the elements needed to get to the drag coefficient even lower than the target of 0.28 Cd, to just 0.278 Cd. Most obvious when looking at the Jesko Absolut, is the removed massive rear wing. The wing is removed to reduce downforce and drag – dropping downforce from 1400 kg to 150 kg.
The peak pressure area is in the front radiator, but the rest of the car has a significantly reduced downforce. More modifications were also done to the Jesko Absolut, such as more streamlined front splitter winglets, replacing its front louvers with smoother ones and the addition of removable wheel covers. Every surface finish is intended to be as slick as possible for air to glide effortlessly over.

Inspired by
Fighter jets
Removing these drag-causing elements and streamlining the new surfaces in the rear, the Jesko Absolut has a different profile to the Jesko. It is seamless and sleek – almost like a land-based fighter jet.
Over 3000 hours
invested in
fluid dynamics (CFD)
A rigorous exercise in smoothing out surfaces to remove drag-causing elements while adding rear volumes to streamline airflow. Over 3000 hours have been invested in fluid dynamics (CFD) and aerodynamics analysis, alongside over 5000 hours of design and engineering for the Jesko Absolut, and that's on top of the hours spent designing and engineering the original Jesko.

This mix of changes and technological improvements raises the engine’s rev limit to 8500 rpm – and increases the power to 1600 bhp on E85 fuel. When running on regular gasoline, the engine produces 1280 bhp. The Jesko Absolut features Koenigsegg’s most powerful engine , which is also the world's fastest revving engine.
