The Jesko Absolut is the fastest car Koenigsegg will ever make. The vehicle is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine which produces 1600 horsepower while running on E85 fuel at 2.2 bar boost pressure. But it's really clever trick is having an exceptionally low drag coefficient. Compared to the track-focused Jesko, the Absolut appears fairly similar, but there are quite a few aerodynamic changes in order to reduce the drag coefficient. This includes removing the rear wing, removing the hood ventilation, smoothed out the fender louvers, which actually still have holes in them, but with reduced drag. They’ve removed the front dive planes and winglets, altered the front splitter, and taken out the added downforce from the side vents by straightening the air’s flow. They’ve added dished wheels, which is a removable piece, for reducing the rear tires aerodynamic drag, and the rear of the body has been reshaped with a sharp cutoff, further reducing drag, as well as the overall body length being longer. The ride height has also been slightly lowered, and since it doesn’t have as much downforce, it also has a softer suspension. You may wonder why the fins remained on the car; Koenigsegg found they actually reduce drag, rather than increase it, by redirecting the vortex generated behind the car. The car still needs some downforce for stability, peaking at 150 kg, about a tenth of the Jesko’s maximum downforce at 1400 kilograms. Combined with the Jesko, there will only be 125 made.

I'm a little sad to realise that this car loses more horsepower through the drivetrain than any vehicle I have ever owned has at the engine.
These mathematics are better than my online classes, Yayson
I mean if you wanna lose views because you insist on saying the name wrong that's all you buddy 😂
Math was decent 😂😂
This man is a genius 😱
Ha it look like this video was made last year and the Jesko is still not a proven vehicle meaning physically getting out on the road and driving over 300 miles an hour so at this point the steel height and the Bugatti is steal the real car that actually did it
Theoretical Top Speed (7:27) 533 Km/h 331 mi/h 148 m/s
Now this is the real 331 mph record......not like tuatara
Any new car on Earth : **Exists** Jayson : Let's do some maths !
When Physics teacher are boring I come here to watch interesting things. Thanks for making physics interesting
less downforce means more need for break power so its all about the top speed on the Jesko whereas the RS was a beast on 0-400-0. These breaks are gonna catch fire on the absolute lol.
I like saying Jesko too
SSC go brrrrr
Considering most of the buyers of this vehicle will be from the english speaking market, then making your car hard to pronounce for those buyers is just contemptuous and narcissistic

Bruh they can name their car whatever they want. You are the narcissist thinking that most people who can afford or buy this are English speaking. Lmaoo narcissist
Not complaining, but if you can say Koenigsegg that easy, then Jesko should be even easier :) But okay, im just Danish, so how would I know, don't understand any word of Swedish, even though the language has many recemblence to both Norwegian and Danish.
Please don't write ”kph”. It's ”km/h” and it doesn't take much longer to write. The most important thing is left out in ”kph”, that is the ”m”. The ”kph” abbreviation could mean just about anything. Kilo-whatever per hour, or just ”thousands per hour”, or even kilo-grams per hour”… The ”m” (for meters, not miles…) just HAS to be there! Also, ”km/h” is how we, who actually use the unit in a daily basis, write it. I like the video anyway, though. :)
What program is this where I can plug in numbers cause I can’t figure out how you got some numbers cause you’re just giving numbers and formulas I’m just a simple man o need basics
Meet the Bugatti Bolide my friend it'll show the Jesko whatever way home 😁😁😁
So, a little bump and it will fly.
I love Yay-son
I have a doubt the rear wheel of the jesko it turns like the front?
Which part of car body is cover in 1.88m^2 please 🙏🙏reply
A bit counter-intuitive to multiply DownForce x Gravity, but then, DownForce is defined here as a weight(mass) and not as a Force. So.... i guess it’s ok?
So the theoritical speed of this car is slower than the Tuatara
I hope they do a run and prove it on the track
Is it really a coincidence that SSC "hit" 331 mph?
Hey! Following the SSC Tuatara controversy, could you do the math on the Tuatara in a similar way like this one? Now THAT would be interesting!

He did, 4 hours ago. Spoiler: 348mph.
Pfft. You or Sir Christian are off by one kilometer per hour. Whom do I unfollow. ;D
Ahhh math... 🚶🏽
Do the math has so much more meaning after the ssc tuatara discussion in recent days. Amazingly the tuatara is claiming 331 mph. Would love to see yasons take on it
331... very similar to some company that might fake a top speed run....ssc ahem
Well I guess this is the car to beat Bugatti since SSC faked their record.
Please make a video on SSC tuatara in similar approach
😂 I love how SSC claims the tuatara can go as fast as the Jesko absolut.

We don't know how "fast" this car is. It's not in production and hasn't been delivered or tested or verified. So no.
Same speed as the tuatara “broke” huh weird

It's crazy how the tuatara do 532kph
This is so cool because the SSC just reached 331, but you could easily tell it was still pulling strong. I bet it could hit around 350 considering how much more power it has than Koenigsegg while having the same drag coefficient.

Get up to date. SSC didn't do any of that.
Great video but I can't find an actual videos of a top speed run where they get that fast and the SSC Tuatara has tied their theoretical top speed of 331MPH but has actually done it real world. So the throne has been taken, rip. Always interesting to see these three companies (Koenigsegg, Bugatti, and SSC) trading the torch back and forth.
It will cover an American football field in 0.618 seconds! 331 mph x 5,280 ft/mi = 1,747,680 ft/hr. 1,747,680 ft/hr ÷ 60 min/hr = 29,128 ft/min. 29,128 ft/min ÷ 60 secs/min = 485.467 ft/sec. American foorball field is 100 yards or 300 feet long. 300 feet ÷ 485.467 ft/sec = 0.618 seconds to travel 300 feet. Almost like a jet at zero altitude!
The SSC Tuatara just did a max of 331.15, so it beats the "Yesko" by 0.15 mph. Thats a WIN! (Heh heh!)
New world record by the SSC Tuatara. What speed? 331Mph. Math never lies.

I dunno, this thing only needs to go 278 to get the world record for cars that actually went the speed they claimed ☺ The SSC only got the "we slapped a number on a screen" record and the Fiat Punto I crashed in 2007 had a 500mph sticker on its speedo so they're miles behind that still.
Let’s see the Jesko do it the Hennessy and the tuatara already did it will have to see
I came here after watching SSC Tuatara brake the speed record at 331 mph.

The car wasn't really accelerating anymore at lets say 328 mph, it needed fairly long to get those 3 mph.... But I am not trying to take away something. Although the driver was straight away lying about the acceleration of the Tuatara.... He said: "before hitting 331, the car accelerated 32 km/h (20 mph) in the last 5 seconds". I checked that. And you can see that in the last 5 seconds before hitting 331, it accelerated roughly 14 km/h which is not even half of what the driver said

@Michael Avaliani Only reason SSC did 301 mph in uphill run was because driver let his foot off the gas cuz the car almost got fucked by wind pushing the car to the gravel, the car could have done much more than 301 mph, nothing else
Michael Avaliani

SSC can do 316 only. 331 mph was achieved because of some factors like wind or incline helping the car. IF what koenigsegg says is true, then jesko can do 331 without any assistance

@The RBG , when it hit 331 mph the Tuatara had an entire gear left, on top of that the car wasn't being pushed as hard as it could have been, the crosswinds were the reason.

316 was its top speed because they have to calculate the speed down the road and back.... it may have hit 331 on its first run but on its run back it only hit 303 so it’s top speed is only 316..... the difference with the Jesko is that these numbers are based upon the top speed on a flat surface... down hill this car could easily hit 345
Who else came here after watching Tuatara's video?

A fake record ?? Nahhh
Yeah so I was subscribed to the channel and now Im out. So like I should say your name correctly, you should do the same. What do I care about America and misspelling european names? Find a video, hear the pronunciation and stick to it. Also stick to the mechanical part and drop the math. Like people said - Show beats tell so when I see it I'll believe it. Also what car manifacturer drops the fastest car race all of a sudden. I always thought Koenigsegg is just putting some turbo on the previous versions and new fastest record. But turbo runs out at some point and I guess the moment is now. I always admire Bugatti more because they create new car that can reach suck speeds which I can state now that even if Jesko beats 490 mark, Bugatti will eventually go higher.
If I could buy any it would be Jesko-absolut based on looks only.
I love koenigsegg they use metric
Your logic about the pronunciation makes no sense and seems very arrogant. If you need to spell it “Yesco” so your brain can understand then I suggest you do that instead.
Thank you for explaining, I didn't understand a single word
Hello Việt Nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
I don’t know much abt downforce, but if a car is exceeding 500 kph wouldn’t a downforce of 40 kilos be too little. Like wouldn’t the car just go flying.

No it wouldnt fly but probably it wont feel as nice to drive. Less downforce means less drag but also less capacity to transfer the power to the ground. Cheers

You do know maths are a thing in 2020 right ?
I could be wrong...but, isn't the Bugatti a production street car and not a "track" version of it's model? If so, that is a very impressive accomplishment...imagine if they did the heavy modifications to it that they have the absolut.
But as of now that’s all theory. Even tho it was proven by math😂😂😂 it has to actually do it tho
I thought that "velocity" was the speed of something that is NOT changing direction...?
