The Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear is the Swedish hypercar maker’s most extreme track-focused machine yet — and yes, it’s still road-legal. Based on the Jesko, the Sadair’s Spear is lighter, more powerful, and pushes the limits of aero, tire tech, and chassis tuning. Limited to just 30 units, each costing around $5 million, it is named after the racehorse ridden by Christian von Koenigsegg’s father in his final race in 1976.
It features numerous aerodynamic refinements, including larger bonnet vents, wider louvres over the front wheels, and a dramatically enlarged front splitter. The centerpiece is a massive active twin-blade rear wing, paired with rear bodywork borrowed from the low-drag Jesko Absolut.
Powering the Sadair’s Spear is Koenigsegg’s 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8, delivering 1,300 horsepower on standard 95-octane fuel and a staggering 1,625 horsepower when running on E85. It’s mated to a flywheel-free Light Speed Transmission capable of shifting gears in just 0.2 seconds, and revs up to 8,500 rpm.
Top Gear’s Jack Rix caught up with Koenigsegg’s founder and CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg, for a deep dive into the car’s design philosophy. Watch the video to learn more about the fastest and most extreme Koenigsegg yet.
