Koenigsegg Press information GENEVA: March 3, 2020 The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut: The fastest Koenigsegg ever forever The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut has been unveiled. It is the fastest Koenigsegg ever made and the company will never endeavor to make a faster series-production road car ever. Customers will be able to choose between the Jesko Absolut and the more track-oriented Jesko version that was presented a year ago. ?The Jesko Absolut with its shockingly low drag coefficient of 0278 Cd, combined with its high?speed stability optimized aero features, daily drive friendly characteristics and luggage space, make the Jesko Absolut a land?based rocket?ship determined to reach unheard?ofspeed in record?setting pace?, says CEO and founder Christian von Koenigsegg. Reduced drag Every surface element on the Jesko Absolut has been purposefully constructed to reduce drag or surrounding turbulence around the car while increasing high?speed stability. Althoughjust as powerful, the Jesko Absolut is a more seamless and stealthier interpretation ofthe Jesko, its track?focused sibling. The Jesko Absolut has a drag coefficient value of only 0.278 Cd. The low drag in combination with a frontal area ofl.88 m2 in combination with a power level of minimum 1600 bhp, make the Jesko Absolut destined to achieve higher, more extraordinary speeds than any Koenigsegg or any other fully homologated car before it. How fast? Time will tell. Looking at the math and our advanced simulations it will be unbelievably fast. Inspirations taken from the sky The dramatic streamlining ofthe Jesko Absolut and the lack of a massive spoiler, gives the Jesko Absolut a sleek appearance. The two fins that replace the rear spoiler take inspiration from the fighterjets that come equipped with similar and iconic double vertical stabilisers. The two standing twin fins give the Jesko Absolut the ability to clean up airflow over the rear end, which stabilizes the Jesko Absolut at high speeds and surprisingly also reduce total drag. Even the main body ofthe Jesko Absolut resembles the fuselage of a fighterjet, with its elongated rear hood. Extreme streamlining meets extreme power At the heart ofthe Jesko Absolut is the 1600 (when running on E85 fuel), twin?turbocharged V8 engine fitted with a 180?degree crankshaft that enables an 8500?rpm rev limit. The engine is connected to the Koenigsegg?developed and produced nine?speed Light Speed Transmission (LST) system that enables gear changes in virtually zero time from any gear to any other gear regardless of how many gears are skipped. Ultimate Power On Demand (UPOD) a predictive gear?change technology that ensures instant, proli?c power and always available in the correct gear for maximum acceleration, is part ofthe control strategy for LST. The Jesko Absolut has an extended rear hood, covered rear wheels, lowered ride height, and removed front wheel louvres and front hood closed air duct compared to the track focused Jesko. All these adjustments are made to reduce drag and downforce; resulting in super high?speed stability, modest tire?friendly downforce and a very low drag coefficient of only 0.278 Cd. Daily Driver Given that the front suspension is more compact than the track focused Jesko and that front hood air dam is removed in order to reduce down force and drag It is possible to stow the roof in the front of the Absolut. As the down force is less, the suspension could be made a bit softer, which makes the Absolut very fun and forgiving around a race track and truly comfortable and ?streetable? One:1 Both versions ofthe Jesko are capable of reaching a One:1 weight to power ratio. Not only curb weight wise which the Koenigsegg One:1 was the first production car in the world to achieve, but also with a full tank of fuel, luggage and two persons on board! This is a new benchmark when it comes to fully homologated sportscars. Technical specification See press information called ?Technical specification".

They usher in an era of compact, high-output engine performance and set new standards in gearbox technology and aerodynamics. Whether as a track-oriented version or as a high-speed version, these cars are designed to dominate and to accept no compromise. ?Both Jesko versions are truly masters in their own right", says CEO and founder Christian von Koenigsegg. ?The Absolut version with its shockingly low drag coefficient of 0278 Cd, combined with its high?speed stability optimized aero features, daily drive friendly characteristics and luggage space, make the Absolut a land?based rocket?ship determined to reach unheard?of speed. The track?oriented version ofthe Jesko features extreme active downforce combined with an active chassis, a super responsive race?like engine with lightning?fast gear shifts. All in all, features that make this version ofthe Jesko the ultimate track weapon.? The world?s lightest V8 crankshaft Both the Jesko (track?oriented version) and the Jesko Absolut (high?speed version) will be powered by a 1280 (1600 on E85), twin turbo charged V8 engine, featuring the world?s lightest V8 crankshaft that weighsjust 12.5 kg. This new flat?plane 180?degree crankshaft produces more power with greater efficiency while achieving a higher 8500 rev limit. The flat?plane design allows even firing across engine banks, creating a visceral engine sound that gives more power. Koenigsegg?s engine architect, Dr. Thomas Johansson has also designed super?light connecting rods and pistons to counter the tendency of greater vibrations in flat?plane engines. Aerodynamics The Jesko is designed with a double?profile boomerang?shaped rear wing placed as far back as possible for maximum downforce and increased control. It also features Koenigsegg?s deepest and longest ever front splitter. These contribute to its active aerodynamics and airflow package that maximizes downforce while minimizing drag. What these all add up is a downforce payload of 800 kg at 250 km/h at the car?s most aggressive setting. That figure rises to 1000 kg at 275 km/h before reaching a maximum of1400 kg. The Jesko Absolut, on the other hand, presented a rigorous exercise in smoothing out surfaces on the car to remove any form of drag?causing elements while adding rear volumes that streamline the airflow. Over 3000 hours have been invested in fluid dynamics (CED) and aerodynamics analysis, alongside over 5000 hours of design and engineering for the Jesko Absolut on top ofthe Jesko. The CED team meticulously went over every inch and design detdil ofthe cor, defining the elements needed to get to the coefficient even lower than the target of 0.28 Cd, tojust 0.278 Cd. l\/lost obvious when looking at the Jesko Absolut, is the removed mdssive rear wing. The wing is removed to reduce downforce dropping downforce from 1400 kg to 150 kg. In place of 0 rear wing there are two redr hood fins that are designed to enhance the high?speed stability of the Absolut. Furthermore, the front splitter side winglets are removed, and the front wheel louvers ore replaced with smoother ones. Every surface is and optimized for the air to glide ds effortless as possible over, under and through the body. The Jesko Absolut shdpe wos redssessed with minimal in mind. This meant elongdting the cor, giving it more tedr?dropped shape. The redr extension ofthe Jesko Absolut makes it 85 mm longer than the Jesko and the dished rear wheels, really change its appearance. A re?designed fuel injection system The fuel injection system is re?designed. Added derdtion means 0 cooler cylinder, cledner combustion, and less strain on the engine dt the top of its power range. The cylinders in the twin?turbo V8 engine ore fitted with the world?s first individudl in?cylinder pressure sensor system for serial production. This dllows the in?house designed produced Engine Management System to monitor and operate each cylinder at maximum efficiency and achieve ultimdte flexibility and control. This mix of changes and technological improvements raises the engine?s rev limit to 8500 increases the power to 1600 on E85 fuel. When running on regular gdsoline, the engine produces 1280 bhp. Torque is incredsed to 1500 Nm. The Jesko Jesko Absolut fedture Koenigsegg?s most powerful engine to date. At the some time it might also be the most powerful internal combustion engine in the history of homologoted production cors. Nine-speed, multi-clutch transmission 100% designed and built by Koenigsegg The Koenigsegg Light Speed (LST) represents 0 scale of evolution not seen since the development of modern dudl?clutch technology (DCT) at the turn ofthe century. LST is Koenigsegg?s ldtest gedrbox innovotion comprising nine forword gedrs severdl wet, multi?disc clutches in ultrd?light package. It is capable of gear changes between any gear, at near light speed. This is thanks to the simultdneous opening and closing of clutches, which make the driving experience so sedmless that it feels like the driver and cor dre symbioticolly connected. Equally revolutionary is the size and weight ofthe LST. Modern high?performance DCTs can easily weigh well in excess of 120 kg, yet the nine?speed Koenigsegg LST transmission weighsjust 90 kg, including ?uids. The package is also halfthe size ofthe previous Koenigsegg transmissions. This small size keeps the weight closer to the center ofthe car, improving weight distribution and handling. UPOD Ultimate Power On Demand Standard modern dual?clutch transmissions (DCT) are designed to predict and pre?select the next gear based on inputs from the driver. However, ifthat prediction is wrong, the driver will experience G?force losses and slow shift response. In addition, DCTs only work in single?gear intervals. The LST, on the other hand, overcomes the normal DCT?problems via its unique multi?clutch design and technology Ultimate Power On Demand. UPOD is the brain that instantly selects and engages optimum gearing for maximum acceleration. lt selects the ideal gear for maximum power with a light? speed gear change, regardless of how far away the gear is. UPOD uses vehicle and engine speed to determine the correct gear for maximum power and directs the LST to engage that gear. The effect is instant, available power that?s always optimized in RPM range and RPM reach, allowing maximum acceleration for overtaking, corner exits and smooth overtaking. In a world of instant gratification, this is power on demand like never experienced before. Dual-mode shift The LST comes with two ways ofshifting gears manually Single?increment gear changes or UPOD gear changes (multi jump gear change). Press the desired paddle or central shifter to the first notch and the transmission instantly changes one gear. Press the paddle or the central shifter beyond that first notch and the transmission chooses the next optimal gear directly regardless of how many gearjumps it is. The transmission?s intelligent UPOD system will instantly detect optimum gear and engage that gear. Flexible shift Modern sports car drivers are already accustomed to steering wheel paddles and will feel perfectly adept to gear shifting with dual?notch paddles located behind the steering wheel. But, the Jesko also offers an old?school alternative with a short?throw ?stick?shift? fitted with the same dual?notch operation. Handling Koenigsegg uses the industry?s longest front and rear wishbones, more akin to Formula 1 racing than the typical road car. Enlarged wheel bearings in lightweight housing provide an unrivaled mix of responsiveness and stability. The Jesko features adjustable dampers that are manufactured by the Swedish specialists at Ohlins and then customized with active control electronics at the Koenigsegg factory in Angelholm. The dampers are adjustable for both bump and rebound damping, as well as spring ratio and ride height, with suspension management modes available at the driver?s fingertips. The Jesko Absolut features a tuned suspension setup that is more tailored to extreme high speeds and less downforce. The front hood air dam, as well as the front triplex system is removed as they are needed for the Absolut. These modifications give the opportunity for a larger front luggage space in the Absolut. The roof can be stowed there like on previous Koenigsegg models and the softer suspension gives a more comfortable ride apart from saving luggage space. Both variants ofthe Jesl
