KOENIGSEGG Jesko Absolut _ 0-400-0 km_h - NEW WORLD RECORD

And all that's left is pure as gold And we'll never break We know what's at stake Eyes are wide awake Yeah, yeah, oh So why is this type of record interesting? Basically, it condenses all the hard work during six, seven years We put everything to the test Since I'm a mechanic from the beginning I have a good understanding of what needs to be checked before doing these kind of runs Everything needs to be perfect Tires, suspension, the gearbox, the clutches The engine, the aero, the wheels, the brakes Maximum stress Because it is a big performance challenge in one very short period of time There is no other test like this That's what makes it exciting Yes, you feel everything The RPM is way higher It's just screaming I can't really compare it to another street car rhythm It's just another level So these type of scenarios I kind of dreamt about A new world record We beat ourselves again Which has sort of become a thing for us To be able to step out of the car And just on a record Hugging my colleagues and so on That's something you dream about We will keep on pushing Every time, every year Racing the bar So here we are again At Örebro airport in Sweden On a sunny day Almost exactly a year ago Since we set the Regera world record For 0 to 400 kilometers per hour Back to zero again And 0 to 250 miles per hour And back to zero again But this year we're here with the Jesko Absolute A completely different car There is no batteries in this car Apart from 12 volts It's a V8 engine with 1600 horsepower Running on renewable fuel E85 It's got our LST 9-speed gearbox This is the low drag top speed version So it has an advantage going from 0 to 400 And 0 to 250 miles per hour And then it doesn't have any active aero flipping up Or a lot of downforce Creating extra drag when braking Or helping to brake So it's all mechanical braking So still this managed to beat our own record From last year We have a habit of beating our own records Which is quite interesting But we managed to improve the 0 to 400 And 0 to 250 miles per hour time So much that even though It was one second slower in braking Without all those aero helps And drag from downforce The total time still became substantially improved And what a day Markus, please come in Amazing Again, this is like déjà vu We're here a year ago doing exactly the same thing Exact same weather So I guess we need to come back next year What do you say? What are we bringing then? But how was your experience if you compare the two? You have all the gear shifting And then the high pitch V8 Just screaming in the back So it's more eventful More visceral So let's say Even though the times end up not too different It's a completely different experience With the Regera It's like a very relaxed Super fast Very competent Effortless This is visceral and more wild So I guess pros and cons in a way You feel like when you're reaching almost 400 This is way more slippery through the air It just keeps on going But braking You don't have that assistance of the drag from downforce Or the flip up wing But we all know what this is Supposedly is capable in top speed And then we need that setup And of course We want to talk about the top speed record as well And we have done a lot of preparation Now it's really down to the tires To have the tires approved for this speed Then we will be ready to go So we're hoping that can happen in the very near future as well So yeah Very exciting times Very impressive Very well driven And this is the first time ever A production car has done And a beautiful time of 18.8 to 400 And back down again to zero In 27.83 seconds Amazing Cheers guys
