Supercar maker to chase mind-blowing speed record

AutoExec Summary

Koenigsegg, the boutique Swedish hypercar manufacturer, is poised to challenge Bugatti’s top speed record of 490.484km/h with its upcoming Jesko model. The company’s CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg, indicated that the Jesko, equipped with a powerful 5.0-litre V8 engine, may surpass 300mph (483km/h). With four Jeskos already sold in Australia, the brand’s commitment to performance is evident. However, achieving such high speeds presents challenges, including track length and specialised tyres, which Koenigsegg is prepared to address.
