Yeah, it’s weird to post a winter test video in mid-April, in the same way that it’s a bit weird that the temps are 38 degrees in parts of the Midwest this week. We can do without the weather, but we’ll be shooting a video, and here’s another one – a counterpoint to one from a week ago. Rimac provided our last ride to northern Sweden, Croatia hypercar the manufacturer is there to test the Nevera in temperatures colder than 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Two hours east, the Swedish hypercar maker Koenigsegg trying its Jesko in frozen. The Swedes call their video Egg Hunt for obvious reasons, but not much of a hunt, just a guy collecting giant neon eggs in the woods until the trail leads him to Jesko . Looks like Sweden’s Easter bunny might be cooler than us.
What’s interesting about these two videos is that they ask, “How do you like your ice dance?” With four motors making 1,914 horsepower and 1,741 pound-feet of torque to move 4,960 pounds and emitting a soft whine that’s barely audible above the soundtrack? Or with the 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 1,600 horsepower and 1,107 lb-ft for 3,130 pound-feet of power, and the Battlestar Galactica wing, which emits a roar that the Easter Bunny should have apologized to every bear in front of him. hibernate and rethink your egg hunting strategy? Take your time to decide, there are no wrong answers. By the way, that wing and the power number mark this as the standard Jesko on the E85. The standard gasoline-powered Jesko produces only 1,200 horsepower.
Jesko and Nevera will soon find their way to their first customers. Maybe the next time the two go on vacation in northern Sweden, they’ll go together. That will be a video.
