On The First Of The Month,

I made a post about a super fast Road Rocket, 


image credit Bugatti it was the the newly announced Bugatti Tourbillon, the post is here, but even with a performance of figure of from 0-62mph in 2.0 seconds it is still so slow compared to Koenigsegg,

image PistonHeadthat has surpassed it with a Jesko Absolut, the car will outsprint the Bugatti Tourbillon to 250mph and that is not all, it has made an insanely fast new world record, from a standstill to 400 KPH back to a standstill, in under 30 seconds! Actually it took 27.83 seconds that’s the Racelogic-verified time for the Koenigsegg to have accelerated from stationary to 400 clicks (248.5mph) and brake back to a stop again, breaking the company’s own record of last year

and here is the record breaking run, if you look carefully as the car is making its run a clock on the right hand side shows the speed as the car accelerates and deaccelerates, it could go even faster, too, Christian von Koenigsegg said of the Jesko run: “This record run validated the accuracy of the simulated and calculated performance of the Jesko Absolut, which gives us great confidence in its ability to outright be the fastest, fully homologated production car in the world. Now it is all down to tire testing, development, and approval, before we finally can make an attempt at that record.” when this car comes into production I can imagine there will be a very long line of people waving cheque books in the air!
