    Koenigsegg Jesko Production Starts With Tang Orange Pearl Stunner

    The Koenigsegg Jesko was revealed to the world at the Geneva Motor Show in 2019 and now more than two and a half years on, we get our first look at the jaw-dropping hypercar in production guise.

    Strictly speaking, this is a pre-production unit and to mark the start of production, the Swedish manufacturer has released these gorgeous images of a Tanr Orange Pearl example driven by the man himself, Christian von Koenigsegg. While you will notice some silver and carbon fibre accents, the paint choice is actually a nod to the Koenigsegg CCR of 2004.

    “We are very excited to showcase this pre-series Jesko in conjunction with the start of production of the 125 Jesko and Jesko Absolut customer cars,” said CEO and founder Christian von Koenigsegg. “As part of our gradual expansion, the Jesko’s pre-assembly begins at an extended 10,000 square metre facility.”

    Customer deliveries are set to start around the 2nd quarter of 2022 with customers being able to choose between one that maximises performance on the track, and an Absolut version tuned to break the 300 mph barrier.

    A fully loaded Jesko Absolut can cost upwards of $4 million, making it one of the most expensive production cars ever made. It’s powered by a twin-turbo 5.0-litre V8 producing as much as 1,578 hp (1,177 kW) and 1,500 Nm (1,106 lb-ft) on E85 fuel.

    The most impressive aspect of the new ‘Egg is the engineering masterpiece of a gearbox. It makes use of no fewer than seven wet, multi-disc clutches and is officially dubbed “Koenigsegg Light Speed Transmission (LST)”. It is able to switch between the nine forward gears “at near light speed,” prompting the company to say the Jesko delivers “seamless acceleration and deceleration.”

    Inside, the Jesko runs a SmartCentre infotainment touchscreen, with a SmartCluster instrument display integrated into the steering wheel. The display is programmed to correct for steering lock while driving, making it easier to read while cornering.

    The Jesko Absolut certainly has the right ingredients to become the worlds fastest production car but we will have to see how that all plays out in the future. Maybe we will see this pre-production prototype going full send on some closed off Las Vegas tarmac soon?

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

It also packs a full Supersprint exhaust so you will certainly hear it before you see it coming.
