On Sweden’s National Day, the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut rewrote the record books at our home airfield.
Piloted by factory test driver Markus Lundh and verified by @vbox_motorsport , the Absolut set new all-out production car top speed records over the quarter-mile AND half-mile – plus new non-EV production car time records for both.
1/4 mile: 8.54s @ 305 km/h (190 mph)
1/2 mile: 12.76s @ 373 km/h (232 mph)
Both are the fastest top speeds ever recorded for a production car. And for the first time in history, a production car has broken 300 km/h over the quarter-mile – with margin to spare.
The kicker? Unprepped surface. Production tires. Rear-wheel drive only.
All unlocked by new software, rolling out to the entire Absolut fleet via OTA update.
