Koenigsegg was always going to have trouble following up the Agera, but the Jesko has done an able job living up to the reputation of the its predecessor. The aggressive coupé is powered by a rear-mid-mounted twin-turbocharged V-8 that produces 1,280 hp and 738 ft lbs of torque. Fill the the tank with E85 instead of regular pump gas and those numbers balloon to 1,600 horse and 1,106 ft lbs of twist. It’s little wonder the Jesko is currently the world’s fastest accelerating car. Of course, performance isn’t all the vehicle has to offer. It also has a beautiful shape that allows it to slice through the air and a tall rear spoiler that increases downforce. A targa top and dihedral doors are pretty cool details as well.
