Koenigsegg announced that its longest-running current model, the Jesko, set new production car speed records earlier this month.

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut set a new quarter-mile record of 8.54 seconds on Sweden's National Day, with factory test driver Markus Lundh at the helm.

Despite being only rear-wheel drive, the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut broke the half-mile speed record after reaching 190 mph (305 km/h).
