Top Gear is no stranger to hypercars, but the Koenigsegg Jesko just might be the quickest one they’ve tested yet. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 5.0L V8 engine that makes 1,281 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque on normal petrol, or up to 1,603 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque on E85 biofuel. Power is sent from a bespoke 9-speed Light Speed Transmission (LST) to the rear wheels, enabling it to hit 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds.
