Koenigsegg is again the holder of the 0-400-0 km/h-crown after his Jesko Absolut has posted a time of 25.21 seconds on August 7, 2025 in an airport in Örebro, Sweden. This is only a few weeks after Rimac announced a month earlier that it was possible to set up a world record time of 25.79 seconds with the Nevera R.
According to the Swedish car manufacturer, the performance was made possible by new and improved software strategies that were applied to the same Jesko Absolut used in last year’s Recordrun. Dubbeds ‘absolut overdrive’, it said that these refinements will be rolled out to customer cars, so every Jesko Absolut owner benefits from progress.
Just as with last year’s Recordrun, business test director Markus Lundh returned behind the wheel of the updated Jesko Absolut for the last attempt, this time on drying asphalt after previous rainfall. In addition to the time of 25.21 seconds to come from 0-400-0 km/h, other times are mentioned in the release of the company:
- 0-400 km/h in 16.77 seconds (17.35 seconds for the Nevera R)
- 400-0 km/h in 8.44 seconds
- 0-250-0 MPH in 25.67 seconds (26.2 seconds for the Nevera R)
- 0-250 mph in 17.18 seconds (17.71 seconds for the Nevera R)
- 250-0 MPH in 8.49 seconds
The Jesko Absolut is powered by a 5.0 liter Twin-Turbo V8 petrol engine that develops 1,625 PS (1,600 hp or 1,195 kW) and 1500 Nm torque on E85-Ethanol fuel. It is not as powerful as the Nevera R with quad engines that make 2107 PS (2078 hp or 1,550 kW), but the electric vehicle (EV) has a curb weight of more than two tons compared to the internal combustion engine (Ice) car at 1,390 kg.
“Deze run toonde de kracht van cross-functioneel teamwerk en uitzonderlijke communicatie tussen onze interne ontwikkelde aandrijflijnsystemen. Het is een bewijs van de synergieën tussen onze engineering- en ontwikkelingsteams, onze geavanceerde software-architectuur en Avant Garde-klasse toonaangevende mechanische oplossingen,” zei oprichter en oprichter van het bedrijf en de oprichter van het bedrijf en de oprichter van het bedrijf en de oprichter from the company and the founder of the company and CEO Christian von Koenigsegg.
Mate Rimac went to the performance of Koenigsegg in Stride, posted on Instagram to congratulate the Swedish car manufacturer and to swear that “they come back.” The CEO of Bugatti Rimac even had a powerpoint ready to document back and forth between the two companies. If you need a summary of the battle for the 0-400-0 km/u title, Koenigsegg has set a time of 31.49 seconds at the Regera in September 2019.
A few years later the original never broke that record in May 2023 with a time of 29.93 seconds. The Regera would go back in June the same year with 28.81 seconds, with the Jesko Absolut taking over in July 2024 with 27.83 seconds. A year later, Rimac came swanting with a time of 25.79 seconds set by a Nevera R, with the Jesko Absolut now at the time with 25.21 seconds.
