Koenigsegg is getting ready to deliver the first example of the Jesko to a customer, almost four years after the hypercar was first unveiled.
This particular Jesko was spotted testing outside the automaker’s factory in Ängelholm, Sweden and is finished in a simple shade known as Battle Grey. It has also been equipped with a set of orange brake calipers and was spotted with protective tape across the sides to ensure the paint remains in tip-top condition for when the keys are handed over to the buyer.

A set of twin five-spoke wheels have also been fitted to this Jesko but these are simply wheels being used for testing and will be replaced with different ones for delivery. While the owner has decided to go with a relatively restrained exterior finish, the same cannot be sad of the interior as it is clad in Lava Orange leather that will make riding inside this Koenigsegg a really unforgettable experience.
As a refresher, the Jesko is powered by a mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 that pumps out 1,578 hp and 1,106 lb-ft (1,500 Nm) of torque when running on E85 fuel and 1,262 hp on regular gas.
Coupled to this engine is Koenigsegg’s revolutionary Light Speed Transmission (LST) that sends power through the rear wheels. The Swedish automaker has also equipped the hypercar with its triplex damper front suspension and a host of active aerodynamic components.
The massive rear wing of this Jesko denotes it as being the track-focused ‘Attack’ variant but Koenigsegg also offers it ‘Absolut’ guise that is focused on top speed. While Koenigsegg hasn’t tested the car’s top speed, it has claimed that it should be capable of exceeding 310 mph (500 km/h).
