Description:

Koenigsegg has once again claimed the coveted 0–400–0 km/h world record for homologated road cars at Örebro airfield on August 7, 2025. Factory test driver Markus Lundh piloted the Jesko Absolut to an astonishing new time of 25.21 seconds, surpassing both the company’s own previous benchmark from June 2024 and everyone else. This latest achievement was made possible by new and improved software strategies applied to the same Jesko Absolut used in last year’s record run. Dubbed “Absolut Overdrive”, these refinements will be rolled out to customer cars, ensuring every Jesko Absolut owner benefits from the advancements made during Koenigsegg’s continued pursuit for technical excellence and software development. “This run demonstrated the power of cross functional teamwork and exceptional communication between our in‑house developed drivetrain systems,” said Christian von Koenigsegg, Founder and CEO. “It’s a testament to the synergies between our engineering & development teams, our cutting‑edge software architecture, and avant garde class leading mechanical solutions.” 0-400-0 km/h – 25.21 seconds 0-400 km/h – 16.77 seconds 400-0 km/h – 8.44 seconds 0-250-0 mph – 25.67 seconds 0-250 mph – 17.18 seconds 250-0 mph – 8.49 seconds

We're back again, same location, same car.

The control we have today over the engine and the transmission equals the control electric cars have over their electrical motors.

Our software engineers have been tweaking and adjusting the light speed transmission software and also introduced a torque control system in the car that reduces the need for traction control intervention.

We are now competing straight against electrical motor torque control with a combustion engine.

And how do we know we're good at it?

Well, we managed to beat absolutely everyone in the genre of 0-400 in a straight line with only two-wheel drive and no electrification.

That is the proof, and that is absolutely unbelievable.

We call this new software tune-up Absolute Overdrive.

to create this technology, these algorithms, this software here in Engelholm, mostly done at home on our test track, is just a testament to what an incredible team we have and what incredible talent we cater within Koenigsegg's four walls.

I'm so proud of this effort.

It's just amazing and I'm so grateful.

Just watch this space for the future.
