If ever there was a car that could give something
like the Bugatti Chiron a run for its money, it would probably be the
Koenigsegg Jesko with its incredible combination of performance and uniqueness. It is the official replacement of
the Agera RS, yet it stands as being considerably more technologically advanced
thanks to features like its Light Speed Transmission technology – a gearbox
that doesn’t use traditional sync rings.
This Jesko Cherry Red Edition is being brought to us
by a new luxury network appropriately dubbed LuxuryAndExpensive and as you can
see, it’s quite stunning. The shiny red exterior works in contrast with the
dark carbon fiber elements to create a dual-tone aesthetic that many hypercar
lovers will surely appreciate.
The wheels are carbon fiber and weigh no more than
6.7 kg at the front and 8.4 kg at the rear, with the
entire hypercar tipping the scales at a mere 1,320 kg dry. Step inside the Jesko and you’ll
find all types of conveniences such as climate control, a modern infotainment
system, adjustable seats and steering wheel, leather or Alcantara upholstery
and loads more. Also, let’s not forget the doors, which can be operated simply
by using a button.
Then there’s the performance. The Jesko is powered
by a twin turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine, producing 1,252 HP on
regular unleaded, and 1,578 HP on E85. You also get 1,500 Nm of torque, enough so as to propel you to a top speed of 482
km/h. As for the price, be ready to spend at least
2,350,000 euros without taxes, so roughly US$ 2.8 million.
