Overview

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut and Attack both were launched in 2022 alongside the first 4-seater hypercar, the Gemera. What differentiates the two is the amount of downforce the latter generates. Other than that, both the Absolut and the Attack are almost identical.

The 2022 Jesko Attack is a good-looking vehicle and boasts futuristic styling. From the designers Christian von Koenigsegg, and Joachim Nordwall, the aerodynamics of the car are on point. This helps the car to deliver top-class handling dynamics. The V8 engine is impressively powerful and delivers excellent performance figures. On the inside, there are premium wrappings all around with functional features within the reach of the occupants. The electrically adjustable seats are comfortable. The standard infotainment system of the Jesko Attack comes with several utility features, which some brands forget to put in this particular segment. The top rivals of the 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack are the Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster and Bugatti Chiron Supersport.

The 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack offers similar power and torque delivery as compared to the Bugatti Chiron Supersport. The Chiron Supersport is quicker as compared to the Jesko Attack and Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster in terms of 0-60 MPH and quarter mile timing. The top speed of the Jesko Attack is about 330 MPH which is impressive as compared to the segment.

2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack Ride and Handling

The 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack also uses Regera active rubber mounts to decrease engine vibrations inside the car. This particular version of the car was specially constructed to provide high downforce. Furthermore, it comes equipped with Koenigsegg's 'Triplex' dampers at the front and rear. Also, the conventional Ohlins dampers are also placed there with it. During strong and sudden acceleration, a horizontal rear damper keeps the rear a bit away from the ground. The front dampers keep the car stable at high speeds, whereas the dynamic rear-wheel steering of the car adds to the overall stability. The car remains nimble while cruising around corners. It experiences minimal body roll and curbs almost all the outside noises coming from outside.

2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack Braking Performance

The 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack comes with self-ventilated carbon ceramic brakes on all four of its wheels. Depending on how you drive this beast, the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack’s brake pads last about 25,000-50,000 miles. It comes with 16.1-inch rotors and 15.6-inch in front and rear respectively. The vehicle has every essential braking feature, including Brake Assist, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), EBD, etc. One can opt for lighter carbon fiber wheels that are known to perform better when it comes to braking.

The 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack comes with a bigger size of brake rotors as compared to the Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster. The size of the brake rotors of the Bugatti Chiron Supersport is not yet available. The overall curb weight of the 2022 Jesko Attack lies between the Venom F5 Roadster and the Chiron Supersport. This reduces the momentum that the car carries while cruising at high speed. Thus, it helps in deceleration during abrupt braking.

Fuel Economy

The buyers of such a car don’t really bother about the gas mileage. The exact data on the fuel economy for the 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack is not yet available. To compare, the Agera RS is something the Jesko was based on. That car was able to offer an efficiency of around 11 MPG in a city, 18 MPG on a highway, and 13 MPG combined. The Koenigsegg Jesko Attack comes with a fuel tank capacity of 19 gallons.

The exact gas mileage figures from EPA for the 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack and Venom F5 Roadster have not been released yet. The Jesko Attack, sadly, comes with a smaller fuel tank capacity than the Chiron Supersport. We certainly expect the Chiron Supersport to lead in terms of the overall range of travel due to the fact that its tank is substantially larger.

Interior

The 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack offers better headroom, shoulder room, and legroom, thanks to the redesigned monocoque. The interior is functional and provides every essential feature within the reach of the driver. The seats are large and comfortable and feature premium upholstery. The hydraulic Autoskin door system opens up in a surreal, yet cool fashion. The entire cabin is a mix of leather, aluminum, Alcantara, carbon fiber, and glass. The noise insulation is on point which helps to block even the slightest of vibrations that the engine makes.

Exterior

The 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack resembles its predecessor, the Agera. The fighter jet-like appearance of the car with sporty contours enabling aerodynamic merits looks appealing. There are a few tweaks that the brand has undergone with this new beast, making it slightly taller and longer. It also gets a new wing, front splitter, and rear diffuser which helps the Jesko Attack to generate an ample amount of downforce. This helps the car to stabilize during sharp turns, similar to what you can experience in an F1 car. The side profile of the car is enhanced by the 20-inch front and 21-inch aluminum lightweight wheels.

The exterior design of all the cars is attractive and sporty. As per dimensions, the 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko is longer than the Chiron Supersport. It is, however, less broad and shorter than the rival. It comes with the smallest wheelbase among the three competitors. In our view, the subtle and well-balanced design profile of the 2022 Jesko Attack stands out in the segment. The fighter jet-like exterior is also a USP of the car.

Some standout exterior features include:

  • 20-inch aluminum front wheels
  • 21-inch aluminum rear wheels 
  • Aerodynamic design
  • LED headlights
  • New front splitter
  • LED tail lights

Safety

The carbon fiber body frame of the Koenigsegg is known to sustain heavy forces to prevent the powertrain and occupants altogether. The material is tough, durable, and lightweight to aid the overall driving dynamics as well. Although the brand has not launched an exact list of safety features, we are pretty sure that the Jesko Attack gets four airbags, advanced traction control, stability control, a reverse camera, front and rear parking sensors, and LED headlights. Being a super expensive race car, the NHTSA and IIHS have not been crash tested yet. It is also unlikely that they will do so in the future.

Some of the major safety features available with the 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack include:

  • Advanced traction and stability system
  • Parking sensors
  • LED headlights
  • Four airbags
  • Carbon fiber body frame
  • Reverse camera

Competition

2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack vs 2022 Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster

The 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack comes with a cheaper price tag as compared to the Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster. The latter features a much more potent engine than the rival. It leads in terms of overall power and torque delivery, Furthermore, as per the 0-60 MPH mark and quarter-mile timing, the Jesko is also a quicker car than the Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster. On the outside, both cars look futuristic and modern. However, the subtle design orientation is something that we found more appealing than the outright aggressive style of the Venom F5 Roadster.

2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack vs 2022 Bugatti Chiron Supersport

The 2022 Bugatti Chiron Supersport is known for its unrivaled driving dynamics in the race car segment. The straight-line performance of the Chiron Supersport dominates over the Jesko Attack. Speaking of numbers, both the Jesko Attack and the Chiron Supersport provide the same power output. The torque delivery of the latter is more. Furthermore, the Chiron is quicker to reach the 60 MPH mark. It also leads in terms of quarter-mile timing. The exterior of both automobiles looks attractive but if you prefer a bulked-up exterior, go for the Chiron Supersport then.

Final Verdict

The 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack is a performance-oriented vehicle that replaces the Agera with pride along with its sibling, the Jesko Absolut. The engine performance is on point. The power and torque delivery, throughout the rev range, is impressive enough to excite the fans. It is quick and provides nimble ride quality. The stability of the vehicle due to additional downforce becomes evident around the corners, which helps it to cruise at high speed with ease. On the inside, the car is functional and comfortable for most of the parts. The essential features are present within reach and all the useful information can be viewed on the screen. The safety features are sufficient to save you in case of an unforeseen happening. The chances of getting a new one are impossible as all units have been sold out and hence, you’d have to pray that one of the owners sells their car or the order slot sometime soon in order for you to even stand a chance to get one.
