Published on
Koenigsegg has done it again! The Jesko Absolut just set a new 0-400-0 km/h world record, beating the Rimac Nevera R.
In 2024, the Jesko Absolut completed the acceleration and deceleration run from 0-249-0 mph in 27.83 seconds. The Rimac Nevera R destroyed this record last month, setting a time of 25.79 seconds.
Koenigsegg couldn’t just sit still after getting beaten by an EV. So, they summoned their official test driver, Markus Lundh, to bring back the crown.
On August 7, Lundh piloted the Jesko Absolut to an astonishing new time of 25.21 seconds. According to Koenigsegg, this was made possible by new and improved software strategies dubbed “Absolut Overdrive”.
