Koenigsegg Jesko Production has officially come to an end, and the final car is a showpiece worthy of the finish line. The 125th and last unit, a Jesko Absolut, has been delivered to its owner. It closes a chapter that redefined what a Swedish hypercar can do on the road and at the limit.

Koenigsegg Jesko Production Final Chapter
Finished in Skumpa, the Jesko Absolut wears a green-tinted carbon center stripe borrowed from the Regera. Bronze detailing runs through the bodywork, giving the car an unusually warm presence for a machine built around brutal aerodynamics. Inside, brown and beige leather meets green carbon seats and rose-gold metal trim.
Mechanically, the story is about purity and control. Its lineage traces back through the CC850, but the Jesko carries the brand’s most ambitious driveline. Power comes from a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 1,600 horsepower on E85, routed through the Light Speed Transmission. That gearbox is the real star, offering rapid shifts that keep the rear tires loaded through every apex.
| ⚙️Engine / Powertrain | 5.0L Twin-Turbo V8 |
| 🐎Power Output | 1,600 HP (E85) |
| ⚡Peak Torque | 1,500 Nm (1,106 lb-ft) (est.) |
| ⏱️0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) | 0-60 mph in 2.5s (est.) |
| 🚀Top Speed | 330 mph (531 km/h) (est.) |
| 🔄Drivetrain / Gearbox | 9-Speed Light Speed Transmission / RWD |
| 💰Starting Price / Est. | $3,900,000 (est.) |
Still, the numbers only tell half the story. Koenigsegg’s engineers focused on chassis composure, lateral grip and brake stability at speeds most road cars never see. The Jesko Absolut is engineered for 330 mph (est.) top speed, a figure that demands respect from anyone who hopes to drive it near its limit.
Light Speed Transmission Defines the Legacy
On paper, the Jesko’s place in history is secure. In reality, its real legacy is the Light Speed Transmission, a gearbox that proved a hypercar could deliver instant shifts without sacrificing engagement. Ultimately, the brand’s commitment to analog connection is what separates this car from its rivals.
Pricing sits at roughly $3.9 million (est.) for the Absolut. Even so, expect this final unit to appreciate faster than most. Collectors will hunt for a car that closes a production run with this level of bespoke finishing, and I predict it becomes a benchmark for enthusiast value.
