This is the fastest car in the world, capable of speeding 541 km/hour
A number of automotive manufacturers continue to carry out various innovations to produce cars that are not only the best, but also the fastest cars in the world. If a few years ago the name Bugatti Veyron was very attached to being the fastest car in the world with a maximum speed of 407 km per hour, now the crown has changed hands.
So, talking about the fastest car, do you know who this title is currently won by? According to Autoblog, the fastest car which is said to be capable of traveling at speeds of up to 330 mph or 541 km per hour is achieved by the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut.
The toughness of the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is believed to be thanks to the embedded 5.0 liter V8 engine plus twin-turbocharged. With this engine the power produced reaches 1,600 PS and torque of 1,500 Nm.
This extraordinary power is also what makes the engineers at Koenigsegg deserve thumbs up, because they succeeded in making a car that produces extraordinary power.
With the title of fastest car, the Jesko Absolut is claimed to have a wind resistance or drag coefficient of 0.278 Cd, which is also assisted by a nine-speed transmission.
Well, Koenigsegg says that the distribution of power from the engine to the wheels is very precise because it uses a Light Speed Transmission (LST), so the gear changes feel light.
Fastest Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Car Price
As is known, every car made by the Koenigsegg automotive manufacturer looks special and this is also offered at Jesko Absolut. So apart from now being the fastest car, why is the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut so special?
This is because the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which was launched in 2020, was only made in 125 units and only 50 units are sold each year. Well, reportedly with a price tag of around USD 3.4 million or around IDR 53 billion, this car has been sold out.
However, it is not impossible because quantities are limited, even though the price is high, used models will soon appear with a price tag that is even more expensive than when it was launched.
Fast Cars Apart from Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut
Even though the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is now considered the fastest car, in fact there is another car that is no less fast, namely the Bugatti Bolide.
It is known that the Bugatti Bolide is equipped with a quad-turbo W16 engine with a capacity of 8.0 liters, capable of producing 1,847 horsepower and 1,365 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the Bolide's top speed can reach 311 mph or 500 km per hour.
The price of the Bugatti Bolide is also more expensive than the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, namely around US$4.4 million or the equivalent of IDR 69 billion.
It's just that the Bugatti Bolide, a car that has the basic structure of the Chiron, is illegal to use on the road, because it is only allowed to drive on race tracks or circuits. Apart from that, the Bugatti Bolide tends to be more exclusive because only 40 units were made.
