How much does a Koenigsegg Jesko cost?

Koenigsegg did not publish a Jesko price. At the March 2019 Geneva reveal, Top Gear reported prices starting just under $3 million plus local taxes, and Motor1's 2026 price ranking lists the Jesko at $3.0 million. The cheapest Jesko is therefore a base-specification car at roughly that figure; neither Koenigsegg nor the outlets published a separate base price for the Absolut.

Options are expensive. Motor1 reported from an owner's configurator session in 2020 that a bare carbon-fibre body cost $443,400, a tinted carbon body $346,100 and a clear-coated carbon body $292,000.[6][5][11]

Jesko Attack vs Jesko Absolut

Both versions share the 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft and 8,500 rpm limit, and the nine-speed Light Speed Transmission with seven wet clutches. The Attack is the track version, with up to 1,400 kg of downforce. The Absolut removes the big rear wing, cutting downforce to 150 kg, and adds a longer tail and wheel covers for a drag coefficient of 0.278 Cd.[1][7][2]

Jesko records

The Jesko Absolut set a 0–400–0 km/h time of 27.83 seconds in June 2024 and cut it to 25.21 seconds in August 2025 at Örebro, Sweden, both verified with Racelogic equipment. In June 2026 Koenigsegg reported a standing quarter mile in 8.54 seconds at 190 mph and a half mile in 12.76 seconds at 232 mph. The Jesko Attack lapped Laguna Seca in 1:24.86 in August 2024.[12][9][13][3]
