Koenigsegg Jesko pushes the combustion "megacar" towards its absolute limit, targeting 300 mph

Loz Blain March 5, 2019

Beating some 1,600 horsepower out of a 5-liter twin-turbo V8 is no small achievement. Creating a new multi-clutch transmission that can skip instantly from any gear to any other is amazing. But the new King Koenigsegg also has its sights set on becoming the world's first 300mph production car.

A massive reverse-boomerang rear wing and squashed motorcycle helmet cabin are the Jesko's design signatures
