Chronology
PredecessorKoenigsegg Agera

The Koenigsegg Jesko is a limited production mid-engine sports car produced by the Swedish automobile manufacturer Koenigsegg. The car was introduced at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show and was completely sold out before the show ended.[4][5][6] Succeeding the Agera, the Jesko is named as a tribute to the company founder's father, Jesko von Koenigsegg.[7] There are two variations of the car, the "Absolut" and the "Attack".[8]

The automobile is named after Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of Christian von Koenigsegg
