Koenigsegg has just introduced a unique Chimera, but the company is not neglecting the old promise it made for the model Jesko. Although the maximum speed has not yet been reached, the calculation looks good. A bench test showed that it was Jesko Absolutely reached speed in ninth gear 500 km/h, before it reached the rev limiter. This means that even more speed can be achieved just waiting to be unleashed.
The disclosure was made by the company boss himself Christian von Koenigsegg during the podcast Top Gear. Why has the top speed not yet been measured with a real car? Two reasons: the right tires and a long enough empty road for Jesko Absolutely. The head of the company said he hoped it would happen "soon", but did not give a more precise timetable. When it debuted in March 2020 Jesko Absolutely, Koenigsegg said it will be the fastest car the Swedish brand will ever produce. The exotic brand promised to push the envelope 300 miles per hour (483 km/h) and may have exceeded the speed limit 490 km/h model Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Although the maximum performance of the car has not yet been tested, it already has several records on its account. It is the fastest production car to reach speed 250 km/h and 400 km/h. In addition, no other vehicle can beat it in the 0-250-0 km/h and 0-400-0 km/h tests.
Christian von Koenigsegg he did not want to reveal where Jesko Absolut can release its 1.578 hp and 1.500 Nm of torque. However, he hinted that it would likely be a closed section of public road. Maybe a highway? A few vehicle races have already been held on this famous highway Bugatti Chiron with speed 257 mph (413 km/h), while the highway was not closed. Of course, it is much more difficult to reach almost 500 km/h. Koenigsegg he must also obtain permission from the German authorities to have part of the highway for himself.
Remember that it is Agera RS reached speed on a public road in 2017 459 km/h. The buyer's vehicle is locked between two trips 11-kilometer section of the Nevada highway with a factory driver Niklas Liljo achieved an average speed of 277,9 miles per hour (447 km/h) behind the wheel.
Chiron SS, which was driven by Andy wallace, is in 2019 on the Volkswagen test track in Ehra-Lessien reached speed in Germany 490 km/h. We must emphasize that this is not a Guinness record, as the fast ride was carried out in one direction. In any case, it is unlikely that the company will Koenigsegg made its test area available.
