The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is the fastest car in the world. This car can go up to 330 miles per hour! This is impressive because the previous top speed was 200 mph. The Jesko Absolut is a great model for future cars that want to achieve high speeds.

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut has already broken four world records with its speed and performance. The Koenigsegg set one record by going from 0 to 250 and back to 0 in 27.83 seconds. Only 125 Jesko Absoluts were ever made. This amazing car was sold for the price of $3 million.

The car’s speed is rooted in its 5.0 liter V8 engine. This engine is outfitted with two turbochargers to give it even more power. The Jesko Absolut’s jet-like design gives low air resistance letting the car go much faster.

Surprisingly, this car also has a nine-speed transmission that shifts so quickly that it's almost impossible to notice. People call it a light-speed transmission, saying its shift happens at almost light speed. The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut also has many lightweight parts which allows it to accelerate and travel faster compared to other cars.

These cars were designed to go fast. It is common for Jesko absolute owners to race and show off this well-designed vehicle. The Jesko Absolut has the speed crown with many miles per hour to spare against its rivals.
