Koenigsegg Gravel World Record: Fossil Motor Breakthrough
- The summary is made with artificial intelligence (KI) from Openai.
- It is usually 0-100 km/h we are talking about, when it comes to cars' acceleration.
- For the Swedish hyperbil Koenigsegg Jesko, it is about far higher speeds.
It is usually 0-100 km/h we are talking about, when it comes to cars’ acceleration. But for some, it gets too puzzled, or it goes so fast that it is hardly measurable.
For the Swedish hyperbil Koenigsegg Jesko, it is about far higher speeds. Recently, it was properly put to the test at Örebro Airport, and driver Markus Lindh was able to record a new world record on a somewhat unusual speed. It writes the Swedish website Carure.

New record – with fossil car and two -wheel drive
The car started at 0, accelerated to 400 km/h in 16.77 seconds, before slowing down to 0 again. It was all done in 25.21 seconds, which is more than half a second faster than the current world record.
It was the electric car Rimac Nevera that held, a four -wheel drive hyber truck, more electric motors and total performance of more than 1900 horsepower.
Koenigsegg Jesko, on the other hand, is not an electric car, but a car with a 5-liter V8 1625 horsepower petrol engine-with only operation on the rear wheels.
The two vehicles have knife about this and several other world records for some time. It is now one year since Koenigsegg had this record, also it set with the Jesko model.

Finely adjusted: The margins count when seting a world record. Small changes in the car’s software and gearbox can make a big impact.
Fine -tuned gearbox and software
But since then, the engineers have made various optimizations, including in the software and in the gearbox – to thin out the little extra required to take back the record.
-Our software engineers have fine-tuned and adjusted Light Speed Transmission & Engine Management system, and have introduced a new torque control system that handles grips like never before, says Koenigsegg-founder Christian von Koenigsegg in a comment.
Tempted with electric hyberbil: – zero interest
Mean “truths” need to be rewritten
He adds that it is remarkable that a petrol-powered car with V8 engine beats four-wheel drive electric cars.
– That we achieve this level of performance with a production car that uses a combustion engine with only rear -wheel drive – and beats all four -wheel drive electric cars in a straight line – is almost magical and shows that “truths” can be rewritten, says Koenigsegg.
The record should be verified by racingogic, which has industry -standardized equipment for these types of measurements. Regardless, the last chapter of this “duel” is hardly written in a long time yet.
