    Koenigsegg Jesko Has The Fastest-Revving Production Engine In The World

    The Koenigsegg Jesko named after Christian von Koenigsegg’s father has entered production and with a starting price of $2.85 million, you know it is something special.

    They have fitted the Jesko with a revised version of the company’s twin-turbo 5.0-litre V8, where they have managed to reduce the powertrain inertia, creating one of the fastest accelerating engines in the world.

    The boss himself recently shared a new video (seen below) to show off just how impressive the V8 is. Thanks to the lightweight engine components as well as the new Light Speed Transmission, which lacks a traditional flywheel and clutch, it can redline from idle in 231 milliseconds.

    Christian claims it’s one of the fastest accelerating engines he’s ever seen. The low-inertia engine makes up to 1,600 horses (1,193 kW) and 1,500 Nm (1,106 lb-ft) of torque. The revised engine received a new 180-degree flat-plane crankshaft, larger turbochargers, and a tweaked intake.

    They are planning to build 125 examples of the Jesko with some of them being the Absolut model. This model is expected to break the 300 mph (482 km/h) barrier, which will be the fastest model Koenigsegg ever builds.

    Electric Koenigsegg’s are also not far around the corner but thankfully the combustion engine will not be going quietly into the night.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
