If you’re one of the few 125 customers who were able to purchase a Koenigsegg Jesko at a base price of $3,000,000, you’re probably not too worried about adding a few more options to this already very extreme hypercar, then this would be yours First choice It would be better to go for either the Attack or the Absolut edition as this will improve the situation with this 5-litre twin-turbo V8 beauty that puts out 1,600bhp via a 9-speed gearbox The rear wheels are already dramatically changed in the Attack version of the Jesko. It is intended more as a race track weapon with additional downforce thanks to the deep front splitter and the massive rear wing that is installed. However, if you want absolute top speed performance, go for the Absolut version, which can reach a theoretical top speed of 300 480 km/h per hour thanks to the absence of a rear wing, which significantly reduces drag.
But that $3,000,000 price tag is before you start adding options to the Koenigsegg Jesko, and one of the most expensive options in the automotive world will set you back almost $500,000, the bare carbon fiber body option, but the extremely impressive one Koenigsegg Jesko Odin We’re talking about the “clear carbon fiber” bodywork, where the visible fiber particles are given a glossy finish, which in itself costs “only” $300,000. However, this model has another option requested by the owner: please add gold particles in the top coat for a truly mesmerizing look:
And to make the options list even longer, the owner had details on the exterior of his (or her) Koenigsegg Jesko Odin decorated with real gold leaf, so I’m sure we’re talking about an inflated total exterior options cost of $500,000, but you know what they say: “If you have to ask the price…”
I guess the owner was inspired by a very special 2019 Koenigsegg Agera RS called “Phoenix”, a car ordered by Manny Koshbin in the United States and at the time the most expensive Agera RS ever, with MSRP from a reported $2,200,000 in 2019, he ended up selling it for $4,100,000 after lowering his asking price from $5,000,000 and I guess the buyer made a good investment, since an Agera RS goes for anything between $5,000,000 for a “normal” one and up to $10,000,000 for the special examples.
And the gold leaf option wasn’t just limited to the exterior either, for the interior the car was ordered with Desiato Alcantara and additional gold stitching in the beautiful “drift pattern”, of course the Jesko logo was also embroidered in gold and the air conditioning vents received beautiful gold embellishments to complete the look. To ensure you get all the information you need behind the wheel, this Jekso Absolut is equipped with the optional G-Force meter directly in front of the driver, just in case…
It appears that this car is chassis number 7509 of only 125 examples, and in addition to the gold flakes mixed into the clear coat over the visible carbon fiber, we look at the following options, finished in a real gold leaf finish. Finish available are: the Slingshot stripe, the Apex stripe, the Pebble Beach stripes, the Engelholm fins and of course the large end plates on the massive rear wing, which is tailor-made for the Absolut edition of the Koenigsegg Jesko. This particular car also comes with the optional AirCore carbon fiber wheels, side mirrors, gold plated badges on the exterior and even gold center locks on the wheels.
The owner didn’t opt for gold calipers, instead opting for a more subtle black caliper option with gold lettering. You have to draw the line somewhere, right? But the mounting points for the carbon fiber rearview mirrors have been given the “Midas touch”, so they are gold in color anyway.
Koenigsegg introduced the Jesko in 2019, but the first customer cars were only delivered in June 2023, four years later, and not all of the 125 examples have been built yet, so there could be another Jesko in the line later could beat the price of this detailed 24-karat gold beauty, which, let’s not forget, was designed and outfitted two years ago by British design house @lmm23design in collaboration with the owner. At the beginning of 2021 they showed a first digital rendering of this car.
I’m sure this will become a very famous car once it’s spotted on the road or at an event. The Koenigsegg Jesko “Odin” was recently delivered to Koenigsegg Spirits of Speed in Barcelona, Spain.
