On Sweden’s National Day, June 6, the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut delivered another historic performance at Koenigsegg’s home airfield in Ängelholm, Sweden.
Piloted by factory test driver Markus Lundh and verified by Racelogic, the Jesko Absolut set new all-out production car top speed records for both the quarter-mile and half-mile, as well as new non-EV production car records for both distances’ times – covering the quarter-mile in just 8.54 seconds at 305 km/h (190 mph), and the half-mile in 12.76 seconds at 373 km/h (232 mph).
Both top speeds are the fastest ever recorded for a production car.
This remarkable run also marks the first time in history that a production car has exceeded 300 km/h over the quarter-mile – and the Absolut did so with a healthy margin. All of this on an unprepped surface, on production car tires, and with power going to the rear wheels only.
The performance was made possible by new software advancements that will be rolled out via OTA update to the entire Absolut fleet.
Absolutely Remarkable!
Results: 1/4 mile: 8.54 seconds @ 305 km/h (190 mph) and 1/2 mile: 12.76 seconds @ 373 km/h (232 mph)
Recorded at Koenigsegg Test Track, Ängelholm, Sweden.
The run was verified using industry-standard www.vboxmotorsport.co.uk @vboxmotorsport (Racelogic) equipment and the recorded data was verified by Racelogic themselves.
