When it comes to hypercars, you have some choices to make on which one to spend your millions, because let’s face it, none of them are cheap, most of them are over $3,000,000 while some go as far as $5,000,000 and more, and one of the more interesting hypercars these days is made in Sweden, the Koenigsegg Jesko, but even if you have the bank account stacked with at least $3,000,000 and you know you want a Jesko, you are still facing a decision … do you go for the Jesko Attack at $3,000,000 or opt for the Jesko Absolut which adds another $400,000 on top of that … and that is before options, which can be carbon fiber wheels and even a completely exposed carbon fiber body, both at a considerable additional cost.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Koenigsegg Jesko comes with a twin-turbo V8 with a 5-liter displacement with a maximum torque of 1,500 Nm at 5,100 rpm and an impressive 1,280 hp on regular gasoline … but get this, that number goes up to 1,600 hp when you fill up with E85, but the big difference between the Jesko Attack and the Jesko Absolut is visible on the exterior, both cars have very different aerodynamic styling, the Attack version is created with a more track-focussed customer in mind, while the Absolut is made to offer the best of two worlds, be more seamless and stealthy.<\/p>\n

But how do they drive, and is the $400,000 premium for the Absolut worth it, which let’s face it is nearly a 14% price increase compared with the Attack version, and I even heard from actual customers that have a Koenigsegg Jesko on order right now who are still in doubt between the two, so why not see if Ollie Marriage from Top Gear<\/a> can answer this question in his ‘First Drive’ of the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack:<\/p>\n
