This is the 2020 Koenigsegg Jesko Prototype ‘Attack’ (chassis 7258) finished in a color known as ‘Tang Orange Pearl’ with silver and carbon fiber accents, a nod to the companies 2006 CCX model. The Koenigsegg Jesko is a limited production mid-engine sports car currently being produced by Swedish automobile manufacturer Koenigsegg. The Jesko was first Introduced at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, succeeding the company’s Agera model. The name Jesko is a tribute to the company founder's father, Jesko von Koenigsegg, and underneath the hood lies a 5.1 L (5,065.48 cc; 309.1 cu in) twin-turbocharged V8 engine that when running on E85 fuel, can produce 1603 horsepower. Alongside the track-focused ‘Attack’ Jesko model is another variant known as the ‘Absolut’. This sleeker, more streamlined variant is a top speed version of the Koenigsegg Jesko which comes without the large wing, and wheel cover caps reducing the amount of air that travels between the wheel spokes. Interestingly enough, 125 total Jesko models are all that will be produced, however, the customer will get the option to choose between the track focused or the top speed version. The Jesko model was designed by Koenigsegg founder, automotive engineer and entrepreneur, Christian Von Koenigsegg alongside industrial designer, Joachim Nordwall. Notably, both variations of the Jesko utilize a unique gearbox system which is an in-house developed 9-speed multi-clutch transmission which is called the ‘Light Speed Transmission (LST)’. The transmission is controlled by an onboard computer which allows the system to gather road speed and engine data in order to correctly decipher which gear it should be in.
