The first KNC Gold Leaf Jesko Attack delivered to Australia

Celebrating three decades of the company, Koenigsegg has unveiled a special edition of its Jesko hypercar, the KNC Gold Leaf Jesko Attack. It is a one-of-a-kind car built and delivered to a customer in Australia.

The car was commissioned by 35-year-old Australian billionaire Adrian Portelli and cost around $2.9 million. It features Triplex suspension, a naked carbon fiber (KNC) body, and right-hand drive, giving the car its unique look. There is also a massive air dam that extends through the front hood to create downforce at the front, while an active rear wing is added for downforce at the back, and the Koenigsegg ghost logo in 24-carat gold leaf accents.

The KNC Gold Leaf Jesko Attack is powered by a 5.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 1,600 hp (1,195 kW) and 1,106 lb-ft (1,500 Nm) of torque, using E85 fuel. This powerful car recently posted a lap time of 1:24.86 at Laguna Seca.

Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut holds four speed records

In July 2021, Koenigsegg revealed the first pre-series production Jesko, and only 125 units are planned to be produced. Recently, the Swedish company presented a special version of this model, Jesko Absolut, which became the owner of several records, including the fastest production car that reaches a speed of 400 km/h.

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is powered by a 5.0-L bi-turbo V8 engine with 1,622 hp (1,209 kW) and 1,106 lb-ft (1,500 Nm) @ 5,100 rpm (on E85). The engine is paired with a 9-speed Koenigsegg Light Speed ​​​​Transmission (LST). Unlike its Jesko sibling, the Absolut was fitted with a cage and seat from a Koenigsegg One:1.

This version is built primarily for speed racing and does not use active aerodynamics. The car was tested at an airport in Sweden, where it set four world speed records. It is now officially the fastest production car to reach a speed of 400 km/h (18.82 seconds), and the fastest car to go from 0 – 400 km/h and back to 0 km/h, in 27.83 seconds (almost a second faster than Koenigsegg Regera). It also has the fastest acceleration from 0 to 250 mph (19.20 seconds) and the fastest car to go from 0 – 250 mph and back to 0 mph (28.27 seconds).

It should be noted that the car was driven by Markus Lundh, and after setting the record, founder Christian von Koenigsegg said: “This record confirmed the accuracy of the Jesko Absolut’s simulated and calculated performance, which gives us great confidence in its ability to be the fastest fully homologated production car in the world .”

A collection of 13 super cars worth over $50 million

We don’t often see large collections of expensive cars, because they are hidden from the eyes of the beholder. However, one collection of 13 super sports cars worth over $50 million is parked at the Los Angeles airport.

Driving by the airport, vlogger “effspot” recorded a video showing 13 cars hidden under nylon. It is not known who owns the collection, nor why the cars were left outside. Is the current owner transporting them to a new location or are they on their way to a new owner?! Either way, we hope they will not stay out in the open for long.

The collection consists of some of the best super sports cars such as Porsche 918 Spyder, two McLarens (Sabre and Speedtail), Porsche 911, Pagani Huayra, Lamborghini Centenario, Ford GT, Ferrari LaFerrari, Bugatti Chiron, Aston Martin One-77 and several

models .
