It’s advanced aerodynamics makes over 1000kg of downforce and the car also uses active rear-wheel steering
Jesko is named for Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of company Founder and CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg.
Koenigsegg was awarded a Guinness World Record for its successful effort at engine development. The CC8S replaced the McLaren F1 as the car with the most powerful production engine in the world.
At the core of the newly designed engine is the world’s lightest V8 crankshaft. Weighing just 12.5 kilos, Koenigsegg’s new flat-plane 180-degree crankshaft allows the hypercar to produce more power. That too with greater efficiency, while achieving a higher 8500rpm rev limit.
