Why it matters

The Jesko was introduced at the 2019 Geneva show as the successor to the Agera RS and as Koenigsegg's track-focused road car. Its 5.0-litre flat-plane twin-turbo V8 and its nine-speed transmission were both designed in-house. Reports said all 125 build slots were sold within days of the debut.
