Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, where we even interviewed the brand's founder, Koenigsegg Jesko was the protagonist of a short video that appeared on the Swedish brand's Instagram.
In this one we have the opportunity to see a prototype of the Jesko at the brand's premises while the engineers are fine-tuning it and, above all, we could hear the roar of the 5.0 l twin turbo V8 that will bring it to life.
In case you don't remember, this engine delivers 1280 hp with regular gasoline or 1600 hp with E85 (mixes 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) at 7800 rpm (the limiter is at 8500 rpm) and 1500 Nm of maximum torque at 5100 rpm.
