Koenigsegg has raised the bar yet again. On November 4, 2025, the Swedish hypercar manufacturer set a new benchmark at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, where the Sadair’s Spear established a new lap record for a homologated production car.
The achievement is impressive on its own — but the conditions make it extraordinary. The track was enforcing its stringent 90 dB noise limit, forcing Koenigsegg to equip the Sadair’s Spear with an additional, unusually heavy muffler mounted behind the car. Despite the increased weight and compromised aerodynamics, factory test driver Markus Lundh delivered a stunning 1:24.16 lap, a time independently verified by Racelogic.
With very limited on-track preparation, the result underscores the potency of Koenigsegg’s latest flagship and showcases the brand’s confidence in its own engineering. Even burdened with the “pendulum effect” of the auxiliary muffler, the Sadair’s Spear demonstrated performance levels typically reserved for fully stripped-out track specials.
Koenigsegg founder and CEO Christian von Koenigsegg praised both the car and the team behind it: “We knew that the Sadair’s Spear had the potential to beat the lap record. To achieve this feat with the added muffler behind the car shows the potential for even greater performance on a less noise-restricted day. That the everyday-usable and livable Sadair’s Spear — with Autoskin, electric seats, sound deadening, amplifiers, and more — can outperform stripped-out track cars is a true testament to the depth of engineering that goes into our creations. I am very proud of our results and achievements, made possible only through solid and passionate teamwork.”
With this new lap record, Koenigsegg once again proves its ability to redefine what a production hypercar can achieve — even under restrictions. All eyes now turn to what the Sadair’s Spear might accomplish when unleashed without limitations.
