Over the weekend, Koenigsegg released a pair of teasers of what appears to be a more extreme variant of its already extreme Jesko. To recap, the Jesko, which debuted in 2019 and priced from $3 million, is available across two production variants: the wingless Absolut, optimised for straight line-speed (Koenigsegg claims over 300 mph), and the Attack, which is designed to take on the race track.
Going by the teasers, the model set to debut on June 25 could be an even more track-focused variant of the Swedish hypercar. The first teaser reveals a rear wing, which bears a striking resemblance to the Jesko Attack’s dual-plane spoiler, suggesting that this variant could be all about lap times.
The standard Jesko already produces 1,400 kg (3,086 pounds) of downforce at 170 mph. Other interesting details seen in the teaser include a vertically mounted stop lamp and a flush-mounted NACA duct upfront, ideal for cooling components like the radiator and brakes, with minimal aerodynamic disturbance.
While the exact performance numbers are still under wraps, the current Jesko packs a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that produces 1,280 horsepower (1,600 horsepower on E85) and 1,106 pound-feet of torque. Paired with Koenigsegg’s 9-Speed Light Speed Transmission, power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels.
Now, with this upcoming new track-oriented variant, expect lower top speed but faster lap times. Could this be a stripped-out, limited-run special with more grip, more cooling, and a chassis dialed in for surgical precision, perhaps dubbed the Jesko Attack+? Whatever Koenigsegg has in store, we’ll find out in a few days from now. Watch this space.
