The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, equipped with a 1,600-horsepower V-8 and Light Speed Transmission, set a new speed record of 359.83 km/h in a standing half-mile run.
In the quarter-mile sprint, the Jesko Absolut outperformed the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon with a time of 8.88 seconds, making it the fastest gas-powered production car in that category.
With a 0-62 mph time of 2.79 seconds, the Jesko Absolut demonstrates remarkable acceleration despite being rear-wheel drive and lacking hybrid assistance.
CEO Christian von Koenigsegg hints at attempting a top-speed record run with the Jesko Absolut, claiming it could reach speeds of up to 330 mph, but a suitable location has yet to be found.
