The Koenigsegg Jesko will be one of the fastest vehicles on the planet when customer deliveries begin and these renderings showcase a stunning one-off example that will be among the planned production run of 125 units.
Dubbed the Koenigsegg Jesko Hydra, this
example has been ordered by a young entrepreneur in the U.S. and gets its name
from the Lernaean Hydra, a serpentine water monster in Greek and Roman
mythology with nine heads. This name was chosen because the Jesko has a
nine-speed transmission.
The exterior finish is the first thing
that stands out. We’ve seen automakers like Koenigsegg perfect the art of
colored carbon fiber in recent years but the Jesko Hydra goes one step further
and rather than having colored carbon fiber, instead has gloss carbon fiber
with purple flakes. It looks pretty amazing in these renderings and we’re sure
will be even more spectacular in person.
Elsewhere, the Jesko Hydra includes some
accents that have been painted purple, including the brake calipers and on the
rear wing endplates. Speaking of the rear wing, the car includes the same
roof-mounted wing as other Jesko models but also features a carbon fiber shark
fin to add to the wild looks.
Inside, the personalization continues with
purple stitching across the seats and headliner. There is also a unique Hydra
emblem on the headrests and purple accents on the steering wheel. It remains
unclear just how much a Jesko with this many custom touches will cost but it
will probably exceed US$ 4 million and not arrive for another two years.
