Seven and a half years after the model’s 2019 debut, the 125th and final* Koenigsegg Jesko has been unveiled. Configured as an Absolut and adorned with “125” badging inside and out, chassis #7360 is a swan song for the Jesko as production winds down.
The car has been delivered to Russian professional tennis player Daniil Medvedev, who visited the Koenigsegg factory in Sweden recently for a special handover ceremony. Medvedev, formerly ranked as world #1 in men’s singles by the ATP, has won 25 ATP Tour-level singles titles and is considered one of the best players of his generation.
Medvedev has chosen an incredibly classy specification for his 1,600 horsepower megacar. It is painted in Skumpa, a champagne gold metallic paint, which is paired with a wide green-tinted carbon fibre centre stripe inspired by the Regera, as well as bespoke bronze accents, including a central pinstripe and badging.
Like every Jesko Absolut, this car wears AirCore Carbon wheels. It has also been optioned with the Carbon Wing Mirrors.
The interior is two-tone brown and beige leather, with the carbon fibre bucket seats optioned in green-tinted carbon. There are also rose gold-toned metal finishes and custom embroidery, including “125” on the passenger dash. Each seat features a custom “125” plaque instead of the standard “Jesko” badging.
Medvedev is not the first professional tennis player to buy a Jesko, with current ATP men’s single #1 ranked player Alexander Zverev having also purchased a Jesko Absolut. Both Zverev and Medvedev’s Jeskos were ordered through Lucerne, Switzerland-based dealership Carage.
Sharp-eyed readers will have noticed the asterisk in the opening sentence of this article beside the word “final”. This car is the 125th of 125 Jeskos to be produced, making it the final example of the model. However, there remains a Jesko Attack with a highly bespoke, and complex, specification that has been delayed in production that will likely not be delivered until 2027. Therefore, though this Absolut is “Jesko 125”, it is not, in the most precise sense, the final Koenigsegg Jesko to leave the production line.
As solace to those dismayed to hear of the end of Jesko production, it’s hardcore sibling built on the same platform, the Sadair’s Spear, is well underway in its production, with one customer delivery so far and plenty more incoming in the next year. Stay tuned for coverage!
