The Koenigsegg Jesko has reached one of those moments collectors tend to remember.
On August 15 at Mecum Monterey 2026, a Jesko will cross the auction block for the first time, giving the market its first public test of one of the most extreme modern hypercars from Ängelholm.
This isn’t just any Jesko, either. The car is a Jesko Attack, the high-downforce version built for maximum circuit intent rather than top-speed bragging rights.
At a glance
- A Koenigsegg Jesko Attack will be offered at Mecum Monterey 2026 on August 15.
- The car features exposed Dark Purple carbon fibre, yellow accents, a white cabin and the Attack high-downforce aero package.
- Koenigsegg built 125 Jesko examples in total, with only a small number believed to be in the United States.
A rare Jesko reaches the public auction stage
The Jesko already sits in rare territory, with total production limited to 125 cars across the model line.
That scarcity matters more now that Koenigsegg has completed production, with the final Jesko delivered to a customer in Canada.
For collectors, that changes the conversation from allocation to acquisition.
There’s no waiting for a new build slot, no tailoring a car through the factory, and no hoping one quietly trades hands behind closed doors.
This car, chassis no. 7302, brings the Jesko into a more visible arena, where bidders can measure appetite for one of the defining hypercars of the last decade.
Dark Purple carbon and Attack aero
The specification gives the car real presence before the engine is even considered.
Its exposed Dark Purple carbon fibre exterior is paired with yellow accents, a combination that suits the Jesko’s technical bodywork without making the car feel anonymous.
Inside, the white interior provides a sharp contrast to the darker body, making this example more visually distinctive than a conventional carbon-over-black specification.
As a Jesko Attack, it carries the more aggressive aerodynamic package.
The most obvious element is the large active rear wing, which also functions as an air brake.
Additional front canards help complete the high-downforce setup, underlining the Attack’s focus on grip, braking stability and track use rather than the lower-drag philosophy associated with top-speed variants.
The 1,600 hp V8 remains the centrepiece
At the heart of the Jesko is Koenigsegg’s 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8.
On E85, it produces 1,600 hp, sent to the rear wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission.
That figure still places the Jesko among the most powerful production hypercars ever built, but the number alone doesn’t fully explain its appeal.
Koenigsegg’s reputation is built on the way it approaches engineering as much as output, and the Jesko is one of the clearest expressions of that philosophy.
This example shows just 117 miles, making it a low-mileage car in a configuration that’s unlikely to pass unnoticed in Monterey.
