    Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Ready To Hit 330 MPH (532 KM/H) in Theory

    Just 125 examples of the Jesko will be built.

    We know Koenigsegg is keen to have a go at the magical 300 mph mark and their Jesko Absolut will be the weapon of choice when they decide to do so.

    The exact top speed remains unknown but according to company founder Christian von Koenigsegg, they will be ready to find out within a year. He is not sure where to do it though as the closed Nevada highway they previously used for the Agera is not smooth enough for the speeds the Jesko Absolut is capable of hitting.

    While talking to Road & Track on the phone, Christian had the following to say;

    “If you run the numbers, you take the frontal area, the cd, the power, the gear ratio, the power curve… the simulations say 532 km/h (330 mph), or something like that. It’s of course a theoretical number, but that’s what simulation tells us. We don’t really have the ambition to drive that fast. The end result will be location, driver willingness, and car’s capability. But theoretically, it looks extremely fast.”

    The publication asked if Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds would be suitable to which he said “It’s perfect, apart that it’s not long enough. We can go maybe 85 percent of the car’s top speed there.”

    The best facility to try this would of course be VW’s Egra-Lessien proving grounds but Koenigsegg does not have access to this for rather obvious reasons.

    If you are worried about tyres being tortured and becoming unsafe at these speeds, you will be glad to know that they have test spun the tyres used on the Agera RS to 330 mph for a minute without an issue. “Michelin, when they were there during our testing, they didn’t believe their eyes. How kind our cars are to their tyres.” Koenigsegg engineers will verify that the Absolut’s tyres will be able to handle the speeds if the opportunity to test comes up, but Christian isn’t worried.

    Just 125 examples of the Jesko will be built, and Koenigsegg said he doesn’t yet know how many customers will go for the Absolut, as the configurator was just sent out recently.

    Time will tell if we see Koenigsegg grabbing the title from Bugatti but no matter what the result is, they will be leaving the top-speed chase.

    “This is the fastest Koenigsegg we will ever endeavour to make,” Koenigsegg said at the car’s reveal.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
