Say hello? Ha! It’s more like wave as it flies by. With a limited production of 125 vehicles and a price tag of nearly $3-million, there’s absolutely no way that I’m getting close to the Jesko. Nevertheless, with a top speed of 310 mph, I couldn’t help but dig a little deeper into this Swedish masterpiece. Powering the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is a 5.1-liter, twin-turbo V8 designed and engineered in-house by Koenigsegg. It features a flat-plane crankshaft milled from a solid chunk of billet steel. The crankshaft weighs just 28 pounds and allows the V8 to rev to 8,500 rpm. Lightweight Read More

Greetings racing fans and welcome to the most beautiful racing venue in the world. The 2019 Supercar Owners Circle is coming at you from the Chedi Andermatt in Ambri, Sweden. The upscale event has historically drawn some of the most extravagant supercars in existence. It is likely that 2019 will not be the exception. This video will focus on the $1.9-million Koenigsegg Regera. Built in Sweden, the Regera (Swedish for “to reign”) is a high-performance hybrid hypercar. Powered by a 5.0-liter V8 internal combustion engine and three electric motors, the Regera is capable of producing 1,500hp. This plug-in hybrid can Read More

In proving that their product is up to the 0-400-0 challenge, Swedish automaker Koenigsegg gained exclusive access to an airstrip (and the largest solar farm in Scandanavia) in Vandel, Denmark. This was done for the sole purpose of testing their newly updated supercar, the Agera RS, in a 0-400-0 timed trial. This timed trial is not just for kicks and giggles. Christian von Koenigsegg, not being the type of individual to accept anything less than excellence, wanted to see the Agera RS best the world record 0-400-0 time of 41.96-seconds, set by Juan Pablo Montoya in a Bugatti Chiron (September Read More

This could be billed as the most complete showdown of supercars ever compiled – with a few exceptions. The Bugatti entry is noticeably absent, there’s no Nissan GT-R, the Corvette Z06 was overlooked, the Dodge Viper ACR is nowhere to be seen, and what about Tesla? One more honorable mention might be the Koenigsegg Agera but that’s probably advancing into a different realm of automobiles. Nevertheless, this list is quite impressive and the video will leave any car enthusiast feeling as if they need to climb into the cockpit. The backdrop is a sunny RAF airstrip somewhere in the United Kingdom. The Read More

Get a load of this Swedish missile as it cranks up – then tears up the track – eating-up mere mortal supercars along the way. This is one amazing car to look at and it sounds like a beast, too. It’s very rare so don’t miss this sighting from the legendary TT Circuit in Assen, Netherlands. The Koenigsegg Agera R (meaning “take action” in Swedish) is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine. In factory trim, the Agera R makes 1,140hp and an astounding 88 lb.-ft. of torque. It can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in only 2.8-seconds, has Read More

The Koenigsegg One:1 (pronounced one-to-one) is referred to as a “mega-car” instead of a supercar. In this clip, from the VMAX 200 Hypermax event near London, England, you will observe it taking on supercars from all over the globe and winning at speeds of around 225 mph. While it is not the quickest from the line, its winning power-to-weight-ratio eventually overcomes most competitors near the quarter-mile mark. As the name implies, this mega-car is the only production car in existence to boast one megawatt of horsepower. A megawatt of power indicates that the One:1 produces one pferdestarke (.986 hp) per Read More

The Koenigsegg Agera N, shown in this video, has been modified from stock. It features Read More
