Koenigsegg\u2019s first effort at engine development was so successful it saw the company awarded a Guinness World Record. The Koenigsegg CC8S replaced the McLaren F1 as the car with the most powerful production engine in the world.<\/p>

The next Koenigsegg engine achieved a similar feat when the CCR took the world production car top speed record, again from the McLaren F1. In 2014, we announced the Koenigsegg One:1 with a twin-turbo V8 producing 1,360 hp, enough to make the One:1 the first production car in history with a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio. With 1 megawatt of power, the One:1 was the world\u2019s first Megacar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

That Record-Breaking Tradition Continues\u2026\u2026<\/strong><\/p>

Jesko \u2013 the all-new megacar from Koenigsegg \u2013 is powered by a newly designed, 1280hp (1600hp on E85), twin-turbocharged V8 engine that benefits from significant changes to the Agera engine it replaces.<\/p>

At the core of the newly designed engine is the world\u2019s lightest V8 crankshaft. Weighing just 12.5 kilos, Koenigsegg\u2019s new flat-plane 180-degree crankshaft allows Jesko to produce more power, with greater efficiency, while achieving a higher 8500rpm rev limit.<\/p>

The crankshaft is milled by small manufacturing house located in southern Sweden. It is made to Koenigsegg\u2019s in-house design from a single solid steel billet.<\/p>

The flat-plane design allows even firing across engine banks and an even more visceral engine sound. Koenigsegg has countered the tendency that flat-plane engines have towards greater vibration by designing new super-light connecting rods and pistons.<\/p>

The connecting rods were designed by Koenigsegg\u2019s engine architect, Dr. Thomas Johansson. The connecting rods are made from premium Swedish steel. At just 540g \u2013 including bolts \u2013 they\u2019re as light as previous generations made from titanium, but even stronger.<\/p>

The piston\u2019s curved face shapes the combustion chamber in such a way so as to reduce peak pressure while maintaining high average pressure. The ceramic coating on the face of the piston prevents hot spots and detonation when the engine runs at maximum power. The piston weighs just 290 grams. Minimal weight is important because Koenigsegg engines have a very long stroke and at 8500rpm, efficiency of movement becomes critical.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Light Speed Transmission (LST)<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Koenigsegg Jesko features an all-new 9-speed, multi-clutch transmission \u2013 the second transmission to be 100% designed and built in-house at Koenigsegg, following the Direct Drive system designed for the Regera.<\/p>

The Koenigsegg Light Speed Transmission (LST) represents a scale of evolution not seen since the development of modern dual-clutch technology at the turn of the century.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

LST comprises nine forward gears and several wet, multidisc clutches in a compact, ultra-light package. The LST is capable of upward and downward gear changes between gears at near light speed thanks to the simultaneous opening and closing of clutches that allows for totally seamless acceleration\/deceleration.<\/p>

That LST gear changes can occur in virtually zero time between adjacent gears is impressive.<\/p>

What takes LST from impressive to evolutionary, however, is that these shift-time benefits apply when changing between ANY forward gears.<\/p>

UPOD \u2013 Ultimate Power On Demand<\/strong><\/p>

The key to this functionality is found in both the transmission\u2019s unique design and Koenigsegg\u2019s intelligent \u2018UPOD\u2019 technology \u2013 Ultimate Power On Demand. UPOD is the brain that instantly selects and engages optimum gearing for maximum acceleration.<\/p>

While modern dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) enjoy millisecond shift times, they can only pre-select for a fast shift in one direction. DCT\u2019s are designed to predict and pre-select the next gear based on inputs from the driver. If that prediction is wrong \u2013 e.g the driver wants to shift from 5th gear to 4th, instead of the presumed and pre-selected 6th gear \u2013 the driver will experience G-force losses and a slow shift response.<\/p>

In addition, DCT\u2019s only work in single-gear intervals. From 7th gear to 6th, to 5th, to 4th, for example. If the driver is in 7th gear and wants 4th for maximum power, the DCT cannot pre-select 4th gear directly. The driver has to pass through 6th and 5th gears, wasting time and power.<\/p>

The Koenigsegg LST overcomes this via its unique multi-clutch design and UPOD technology, which selects the optimum gear for maximum power with a light speed gear change, regardless of whether that gear is 1, 2 or even 5 gears away.<\/p>

UPOD uses vehicle speed and engine speed to determine the correct gear for maximum power and directs the LST to engage that gear, no matter its relationship to the current gear. If you are in 7th gear and 4th is the optimal gear for maximum acceleration, UPOD can bypass downshifts to 6th and 5th gear and put the car directly from 7th to 4th \u2013 in light speed.<\/p>

The effect is instant, prolific power that\u2019s always optimised and always available, allowing maximum acceleration for overtaking, corner exits, etc.<\/p>

Koenigsegg has a long history of developing innovative, in-house solutions aimed at optimising vehicle performance. Near-enough is never good-enough. This no-compromise philosophy inspired the development of Aircore carbon fibre wheels, Koenigsegg Direct Drive, Triplex suspension geometry, the RocketCat catalytic converter, Autoskin technology, and much more. LST is the latest in a long line of Koenigsegg innovations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A Strong Core<\/strong><\/p>

At the core of every Koenigsegg is its carbon fibre monocoque.<\/p>

Jesko uses an all-new monocoque, designed with the experience of vehicles past but with the requirements of our future customers in mind. The new tub is 40mm longer and 22mm higher, which allows for more legroom, headroom, a more spacious cabin feel and a clearer view through the wrap-around windscreen.<\/p>

The tub retains its industry-best torsional rigidity, at 65,000 Nm per degree. The Koenigsegg chassis has long proven to be an outstanding base for chassis tuning. It\u2019s also extremely strong and safe, with both the Agera RS and Regera passing crash tests for both EU and USA homologation in recent years.<\/p>

The monocoque is a carbon fibre and aluminium sandwich construction with integrated fuel tanks, rollover bars and reinforcement using Dyneema \u2013 the strongest fibre in the world \u2013 an industry first. It is assembled in our factory in \u00c4ngelholm, Sweden.<\/p>

Tripl Extended<\/strong><\/p>

Koenigsegg developed the Triplex Suspension system for the Agera in 2010. A third, horizontal damper added at the rear allowed the car to employ natural physics to combat squat \u2013 the tendency for the car\u2019s rear to lower itself under hard acceleration.
Jesko is equipped with a second Triplex unit in the front suspension, extending this capability to the front of the car.<\/p>

Jesko has over 1,000 kilograms of downforce available. The forward Triplex unit helps to keep the front of the car level, maintaining optimal ride height during high aerodynamic loading without compromising grip and handling at lower speeds.<\/p>

Active Rear Steering<\/strong><\/p>

Koenigsegg has equipped Jesko with an adaptive, active rear steering system that increases responsiveness and heightens the senses at both high and low speeds.<\/p>

Using inputs such as speed, throttle and brake positions, steering and slip angles and other parameters, the steering system can turn the rear wheels up to three degrees in either direction for quicker cornering and increased stability.<\/p>

At low speeds, the system counter-steers the rear wheels. This gives Jesko a faster turn-in, effectively shortening the turning circle of the car.<\/p>

At high speeds, the rear wheels turn with the front wheels, a virtual lengthening of the wheelbase. This improves cornering performance on the track and provides increased stability on the road.<\/p>

The result:<\/p>

Faster cornering, better maneuverability, improved steering feel, more grip and increased confidence.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The all-new koenigsegg jesko is the successor to the agera line in the koenigsegg portfolio and has inherited not only a place in the lineup, but a rich design heritage, as well.<\/p>

Joachim nordwall, design director:<\/strong><\/p>

Even though the agera turned out to be a road monster, there was a level of simplicity and humility to its design, something that reflects the character of both koenigsegg as a company, and our founder, christian von koenigsegg. This design ethos is also present in jesko. It\u2019s both humble and assertive, but not angry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The shape is instantly familiar and there are a number of design cues that tip their hat in respect to the outgoing agera. The dip between the rear lamps, for example, which is present, but done in a more modern way. The wraparound windscreen is there, too, but now has more of a fighter jet stance thanks to a taller roof line. The headlamps were given a more dynamic approach, morphing closer to the regera shape but retaining an identity of their own.<\/p>

Cues from the regera do not stop there. Jesko has a similar design at the rear with an open design for increased airflow and an exhaust reminiscent of the inverter heat extraction outlet on the regera. The air ducts at the front wheel are also similar.<\/p>

Jesko looks smaller than the agera and regera, thanks to it having more shape around the wheels. It\u2019s actually 30mm taller and 40mm longer than the agera, which allows for better ingress and egress, a more spacious cabin and better visibility.<\/p>

It also looks more agile. We adopted a \u2018shrinkwrap\u2019 approach to skinning this car, using crisp angles and lines to eliminate empty spaces and make the design as effective as possible.<\/p>

I\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve achieved with this car. It\u2019s new, but it\u2019s also classic koenigsegg.<\/p>

Aerodynamics<\/strong><\/p>

The koenigsegg jesko features aerodynamics designed with one goal in mind \u2013 blistering on-track performance.<\/p>

As jesko is an all-new vehicle, koenigsegg went back to the drawing board and designed an all-new rear wing, new front splitter and new rear diffuser. These form the core of an active aerodynamics and airflow package that maximises downforce while minimising drag.<\/p>

The signature, airplane-like wrap-around windscreen stays intact, albeit improved for visibility. The koenigsegg wrap-around windscreen has always played a crucial role in the aerodynamic performance of koenigsegg cars, as no other windscreen solution can offer the same drag efficiency and high-speed stability. It also reduces upper body lift and delivers high quality airflow to the rear wing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The simple push of a button on the elegant Koenigsegg remote control operates Autoskin, the pioneering body opening system first shown on the Regera. Minituarised hydraulics that were initially designed to operate aerodynamic systems now engage to open the car\u2019s doors and hoods, allowing true touchless entry.<\/p>

Koenigsegg\u2019s signature dihedral synchro-helix door hinge has also been re-designed. It now opens slightly outwards and upwards compared to the original. This provides even more room for ingress and egress, and reduces the danger of scraping high curbs. The Autoskin system includes sensors to protect both automated doors from opening where an obstruction is detected.<\/p>

The interior is swathed in luxury materials \u2013 leather, alcantara, carbon fibre, aluminium and glass.<\/p>

Jesko\u2019s electrically operated seats can be finished in the customer\u2019s choice of leather or alcantara, with an almost endless variety of colour and contrast options. The sport bucket seats are built around a carbon fibre seat shell, resulting in a seat that is both extremely light and comfortable. Controls for seat position and heating are available via the SmartCenter touchscreen. Drivers can find the perfect driving position by matching their seat position with the fully adjustable steering column and pedal box.<\/p>

Smartwheel Added To Koenigsegg\u2019s Smart Architecture<\/strong><\/p>

Koenigsegg has developed new driver controls using touchscreen technology built into both the new SmartCenter and SmartWheel.<\/p>

SmartWheel sees two small touchscreens embedded into Jesko\u2019s steering wheel, making a suite of features accessible with just a touch or a swipe. The screens\u2019 default configurations enable functions such as audio control, phone control, ride height control and cruise control. The screens are context sensitive, however, and other options may show or be configured into the system. SmartWheel\u2019s screens feature haptic feedback, allowing ease of use without the need for constant visual connection.<\/p>

Jesko features a new, racing-inspired and very compact SmartCluster instrument screen. The screen is mounted directly behind the steering wheel and turns as the steering wheel turns. The new 5-inch SmartCluster is extremely compact \u2013 it measures just 108mm x 64.8mm \u2013 but it contains all the information the driver needs in a neat, logical layout.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
