Koenigsegg’s Most Extreme Hypercar Yet:

Koenigsegg Just Dropped Its Wildest Hypercar Yet: The Jesko Sadair’s Spear

Move over, Jesko Attack and Absolut—there’s a new king in Koenigsegg’s hypercar lineup. Meet the Sadair’s Spear, a track-honed monster that somehow still passes as street-legal. With insane aero, more power, and a weight-saving diet, this thing is pure automotive adrenaline. But before we dive into the specs, let’s talk about the emotional backstory behind that name.

A Tribute to a Legend (and a Legendary Horse)

Christian von Koenigsegg originally named the Jesko after his father, Jesko von Koenigsegg, a passionate jockey. The Sadair’s Spear takes it a step further—it’s a nod to the horse Jesko rode in his final race back in 1976. While this special edition drops the "Jesko" badge, it’s still a heartfelt homage to Christian’s dad.

Aerodynamics on Steroids

If the Jesko Attack was aggressive, the Sadair’s Spear is downright ferocious. It packs a double-blade active rear wing, extended bodywork for better airflow, and redesigned intakes to keep things cool when you’re pushing it to the limit.

Even More Power (Because Why Not?)

Under the hood, Koenigsegg’s 5.0L twin-turbo V8 gets a bump to 1,300 hp on pump gas—20 hp more than the standard Jesko. But if you really want to wake the neighbors, fill it with E85 ethanol, and output jumps to a mind-bending 1,625 hp (that’s 25 hp more than before).

Lighter, Faster, Sharper

Koenigsegg’s engineers went full weight-watchers mode, stripping out 77 lbs by ditching sound insulation and swapping in lighter parts. The result? A dry weight of just 2,910 lbs. Exclusive carbon-fiber turbine wheels cut unsprung mass, while wider Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires (275 up front, 335 in the rear) keep it glued to the tarmac. Need even more grip? There’s an optional Cup 2 R upgrade.

Oh, and the brakes? Upgraded carbon-ceramics with high-performance pads for eye-popping stopping power. Put it all together, and the Sadair’s Spear shaved 1.1 seconds off the Jesko Attack’s lap time at Gotland Ring.

Track-Ready, But (Barely) Street-Legal

Inside, you still get a few creature comforts like wireless charging and USB ports, but Koenigsegg also offers six-point harnesses (where legal) for serious track junkies. And thanks to 5.7 lbs less sound-deadening, the cabin is louder—which, let’s be honest, is exactly how it should be.

Too Late—They’re All Gone

Bad news if you were already dreaming of parking one in your garage: all 30 units are sold out. Koenigsegg revealed it to buyers privately, and the entire run got snapped up instantly.

The Verdict? Pure Koenigsegg Madness

This isn’t just another hypercar—it’s Koenigsegg’s most extreme creation yet, blending race-track brutality with just enough civility to (technically) drive on public roads. A fitting tribute to speed, family legacy, and engineering insanity.
