    How the Jesko Absolut Did It

    Koenigsegg attributes this breakthrough to software and hardware refinements. There are also updates to the Light Speed Transmission, Engine Management System, and a new torque control strategy that allowed the hypercar to maximise grip while it manages traction in less-than-perfect conditions.Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Rear Side View

    The Koenigsegg’s 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 powers the machine, which is being paired with an ultra-low drag design. This, together with cutting-edge traction control, helped the car outperform even four-wheel-drive electric hypercars in a straight-line test.

    What It Means for Customers

    The best part of this record is that it is not limited to factory prototypes. They once again used the very same Jesko Absolut that set last year’s time. But, this time, they enhanced it with the new “Absolut Overdrive” package. These updates will be rolled out to all customer cars to ensure owners of the 2026 Jesko Absolut enjoy identical benefits.

    This move shows how committed Koenigsegg is to its buyers, who receive cars of speed that can't be matched and also get continuous improvements that keep their vehicles at the cutting edge.

    Enthusiasts in the Kingdom, with the global spotlight now on the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut price and its rollout in the market, are already eager to know details of the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut price in KSA.Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Rear Side View
