If the car has an engine capacity of 700 HP, this supercar. 1000 HP and more – hypercar. But as it was necessary to christen Koenigsegg Jesko, whose creators make the most of a 5 litre Twin-Turbo V8 1600 HP and dispersed their offspring up to 450 km/h? While stopped on a variant “megakar” — and it is possible that this model will go in the series.
The power plant uses the world’s lightest crankshaft entirely machined from a solid ingot of steel to the Swedish Dievar. It weighs 12.5 kg and can rotate with a speed of 8500 rpm, with the active support absorb all vibration. Special compressor and a carbon fiber tank can pump air under a pressure of 20 bar to provide instant otkliki turbine. Torque reaches the beyond 1500 Nm, in each cylinder set of innovative sensors, and the combustion process is controlled in real time.
The car has received a classified transmission with 9 speeds and almost zero latency when switching between them. It was created to help drivers hungry for maximum speeds in the here and now, therefore, the computing unit analyzes the behavior of the machine and generates a script to achieve maximum acceleration.
Housing Koenigsegg Jesko made in the format carbon monocoque, 21×12-inch wheels also made of carbon fiber, it is the largest and most lightweight wheels for production cars. The vehicle has an adaptive active system steering of the rear wheels, which can rotate the wheel by three degrees for added maneuverability. Suspension works on the wishbone-style F1 cars with electronic damping Ohlins on the rear suspension installed and active damper Triplex.
For high speeds, need good downforce and the whole design of the Koenigsegg Jesko worked to achieve this goal. Even side mirrors are added to 20 kg of effort, and at the peak downforce of up to 1400 kg! But if you want to drive safely, you can remove the roof and get a peaceful and comfortable Roadster. On the other hand, Koenigsegg Jesko may be the first production car, which will reach speed of 483 km/h, for which it was created.
It is planned to create 125 Koenigsegg Jesko, with a price tag of $3 million per car.
