The low-drag Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is targeting a record-breaking 310mph top speed, and this is the first prototype -

. Named after the father of company founder and CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg, the model features a revised carbonfibre tub, power plant and all-new gearbox, developed in-house. Though 'Attack' specification cars have already entered production, Koenigsegg has now revealed the first low-drag Absolut prototype, a variant with a focus on top speed.

One of the highlight features of the Jesko is its new nine-speed Light Speed Transmission . The brand claims it’s capable of ‘near light speed’ gear changes, due to the simultaneous opening and closing of clutches, allowing for ‘seamless’ acceleration and deceleration. Thanks to the trick multi-clutch system, Ultimate Power On Demand allows the gearbox to jump to the most effective gear, unlike a dual clutch system which has to run through all gears on the way.

Inside, leather, Alcantara, carbonfibre, aluminium and glass can be found throughout, alongside a new ‘SmartWheel’ that sees the integration of two small touchscreens in the steering wheel, allowing the driver to control aspects such as audio, ride height and cruise control. As found on the Regera, miniaturised hydraulics mean almost all hinges on the Jesko are also automated.
