Koenigsegg ends Jesko production with 125th and final car

The last car is a one-off low-drag Absolut, and the Jesko finished its run without the official top-speed record many expected.

Koenigsegg announced on Nov. 11 that Jesko production has ended, with car number 125 already delivered to its owner, CarBuzz reports.

The last car is a one-of-a-kind, low-drag Jesko Absolut, not the track-focused Attack with its large rear wing. CarBuzz says all Jeskos share a 5.1-liter twin-turbo V8 and a nine-speed Light Speed Transmission. Output is 1,280 horsepower on pump gas, and it rises to 1,600 when the car runs on E85.

The record that never came

Koenigsegg engineers said the car is capable of well over 330 miles per hour, according to CarBuzz. No official top-speed record was set, because a suitable place to run it was hard to find.

The current production-car claim belongs to the Yangwang U9 Xtreme, with a 310 mph one-way run in Abu Dhabi. By Koenigsegg's preferred two-way method, the SSC Tuatara's 282.9-mph average from 2020 remains the benchmark.

CarBuzz credits the Jesko with a quarter mile in 8.54 seconds, a record for a production car that isn't electric, and a half-mile run in 12.76 seconds. For the Absolut, Koenigsegg's own page gives a drag coefficient of 0.278 Cd. Koenigsegg has not said whether it will try for an official top-speed record.

Earlier reports named another last car

The first customer Jesko was delivered in June 2023. In July 2026, Koenigsegg Canada announced the final Jesko Attack, and some outlets reported that car as the last Jesko.

CarBuzz says the one-off Absolut is the car that closed out the run at number 125. If you are shopping for a Jesko, ask the seller which variant it is.

Used Jesko prices remain a blank

We have no Jesko listings with asking prices to report today, and CarBuzz's story does not say what used cars are worth. What used Jeskos sell for, and what Koenigsegg builds next, are not known yet.

If a Jesko does appear, today's best deals across every brand and cars cut in the last 30 days are where to watch for listings moving.
