The last Koenigsegg Jesko is a champagne-gold one-off Absolut
Koenigsegg has handed over Jesko 125, the last of the 125 Jeskos it sold out in two weeks at Geneva in 2019. It's a one-off Jesko Absolut in champagne-gold Skumpa paint with a green carbon stripe, and two outlets report it went to tennis star Daniil Medvedev.

Jesko 125, the last of 125 Jeskos.
That's it. The Koenigsegg Jesko is done. Koenigsegg has built and delivered Jesko 125, the final car of the 125-car run it announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019. Staff lined the production line in Ängelholm, Sweden, to applaud the car out of the factory, and Koenigsegg confirmed on Instagram on Nov 11, 2026, that "Jesko 125 has been delivered to its owner, marking a milestone in Koenigsegg history."
The last one is a low-drag Jesko Absolut, the version built for top speed, and it's a true one-off. Koenigsegg hasn't named the owner. The Supercar Blog and Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport both report that it's Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev, who collected the car at the factory. Gazzetta notes that Alexander Zverev already owns an exposed-carbon Absolut, so two of the Absoluts now belong to tennis stars.
Twin fins instead of a wing: the Absolut's low-drag tail.
Brown and beige leather with green-tinted carbon seats.
Bronze accents, including the Absolut script.
What makes Jesko 125 special
Koenigsegg's description of the car, which matches reporting from AutoNext, Supercar Blondie, The Supercar Blog and News9:

Paint: a bespoke finish called Skumpa, Swedish slang for sparkling wine. It's a champagne-gold metallic.
Stripe: a green-tinted carbon fiber center stripe inspired by the Regera, plus bespoke bronze accents.
Cabin: brown and beige leather, green-tinted carbon fiber seats, rose-gold-toned metal finishes and custom embroidery. Gazzetta reports "125" plaques throughout the interior, and the number also sits on the rear fins.
Hardware: the standard Jesko recipe, a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at 1,280 hp on regular fuel and 1,600 hp on E85, driving the rear wheels through Koenigsegg's nine-speed Light Speed Transmission.
Seeing the final Jesko in front of us was something special. Even after 125, that feeling never gets old.

Seven years from Geneva to the last car
Koenigsegg revealed the Jesko on March 5, 2019, and said on March 19 that all 125 build slots were taken. The car is named for Jesko von Koenigsegg, the founder's father. Getting the cars built took far longer than selling them. Buyers configured their cars from 2020, Koenigsegg showed the first pre-series car in July 2021 and promised deliveries for spring 2022, but the first customer car wasn't handed over until June 2023. AutoNext works out that the run from that first delivery to Jesko 125 took about 41 months, roughly three cars a month.
You may have read about "the last Jesko" before. In July 2026, Koenigsegg Canada announced that it had delivered the final Jesko Attack allocated worldwide, and several outlets called it the last Jesko of all. The Jesko owners' registry pushed back in September, saying all 125 cars had been built but about 10 were still waiting to be delivered. Both were right. The Canadian car closed out the high-downforce Attack, and Jesko 125 now closes out the Absolut and the whole run.
The two versions share the drivetrain but not the body. The Attack wears a huge rear wing for downforce. The Absolut swaps it for two fins and smoother bodywork to cut drag, and Koenigsegg has always pitched it as its fastest car. It has the records to back that up. It ran 0-400-0 km/h in 25.21 seconds in August 2025. Then on June 6, 2026, at Koenigsegg's airfield in Ängelholm, factory test driver Markus Lundh covered the quarter mile in 8.54 seconds at 189.76 mph (305.39 km/h) and the half mile in 12.76 seconds at 232.31 mph, steering with one hand and filming with the other. Motor1 and Road & Track report that Racelogic verified both trap speeds as production-car records, set with rear-wheel drive on street tires and an unprepped runway. It was the first production car past 300 km/h at the quarter-mile mark, beating its own earlier 8.88-second pass at 291 km/h. Better still for owners, Koenigsegg said the software behind that run would roll out to every Absolut over the air.
The electric Rimac Nevera R still wins the quarter mile on elapsed time at 7.90 seconds, Road & Track notes, but it crosses the line a few mph slower than the Jesko. The big one, a top-speed run, still hasn't happened. Gazzetta reports Koenigsegg is still looking for tires that can survive it, and Christian von Koenigsegg told duPont Registry he believes the Absolut could go "way north of 500 kilometers per hour." The target has moved since the car was announced: BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme hit 503.17 km/h in a one-way run in Abu Dhabi on Nov 1, 2026.

The Jesko driveline lives on
The Jesko's count is closed, and Koenigsegg hasn't confirmed a direct successor, as Carscoops and France's Sport Auto both point out. At 125 cars, Carscoops counts it as Koenigsegg's highest-volume two-seat hypercar ever, ahead of the Regera (80), the Agera family (65), the CCX family (49), the CCR (14) and the CC8S (6). Its hardware isn't retired, though. The remaining CC850 and CCGT1 cars still to be built use the Jesko's carbon fiber monocoque and twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8. The track-focused Sadair's Spear, revealed in June 2025 and limited to 30 cars, uses the same V8 at up to 1,625 hp on E85 and the same Light Speed Transmission, with deliveries following the regular Jesko run. The four-seat Gemera uses a nine-speed gearbox adapted from it, and its HV8 version runs a V8 based on the Jesko's. The first customer Gemera was spotted in Switzerland this week.
Analysis
Market perspective
Car and Driver put the Jesko at about $3 million new, before options. With every car now in owners' hands, the only way into one is the resale market, and public results are thin. In our US auction records, a 192-mile 2026 Jesko Attack crossed the block at Mecum Monterey in August 2026 (Lot S104) and didn't sell at a high bid of $5,000,000. That tells you the seller wanted more than $5 million, but a no-sale isn't a price.
What it means for buyers
Now that production is over, supply is fixed at 125 cars. Jesko 125 is the headline car of the run: the last one built, a one-off Absolut, with a famous reported owner. If it ever comes up for sale, it will be judged as a one-of-one, not against regular Jeskos. For everyone else, the Attack and Absolut are different cars with different appeal, so compare like with like. Results and current listings are on our Koenigsegg Jesko price page.
What to watch
Koenigsegg's next deliveries are the remaining Sadair's Spears, CC850s and CCGT1s, plus the Gemera, which is just reaching customers. Still open: whether the Jesko Absolut will finally get its top-speed run and take a shot at 500 km/h, what eventually replaces the Jesko at the top of the range, and whether Koenigsegg or Medvedev will confirm who owns Jesko 125. Medvedev's ownership is so far reported by The Supercar Blog, Gazzetta, Carscoops and MotorBiscuit, based on factory video and social posts, not by Koenigsegg.
Correction Nov 13, 2026We first gave the Absolut's 2026 quarter mile as 8.88 seconds. That was an earlier run. The record set on June 6, 2026, is 8.54 seconds at 189.76 mph.
Nov 13, 2026Corrected the Absolut's quarter-mile record and added its half-mile record and over-the-air update. Added that Koenigsegg hasn't confirmed a direct successor, the Jesko's place as Koenigsegg's highest-volume two-seater, and the CC850 and CCGT1 that still use its tub and V8. Added new sources.
The most talked-about new supercars of 2026 share something old-fashioned: a clutch pedal. Here's what's real and what's simulated, what they cost, how few will be built, and what the market says analog cars are worth.

A Dutch startup just showed a track-only single-seater that puts the driver on their stomach, like a superbike, in front of an 800-horsepower Judd V10. The first customer car is not due until 2030, and Sanrivatti has not set a price.
The Toyota GR GT3 completed its first two races in Japan this past weekend, bringing fresh attention to the road-going GR GT, a 641-plus-horsepower V8 flagship expected around 2027.
