Thought the Jesko Attack was peak Koenigsegg? Not quite. There’s a new Swedish speed missile in town, and it's called the Sadair’s Spear — a lighter, sharper, and more track-focused evolution of the Jesko. It’s essentially what happens when someone at Koenigsegg looks at a 1,578bhp road-legal hypercar and says, “Needs more.”
And yes, that name is real. Turns out Sadair was the name of a racehorse ridden by Jesko von Koenigsegg — Christian’s father — in his final competitive race. So this isn’t just a car, it’s a tribute. To a man. On a horse. With a spear. Obviously.
The Power Bit
Under the carbon bonnet sits the same 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 found in the Jesko, hooked up to Koenigsegg’s bonkers 9-speed Lightspeed gearbox. No flywheel, so it spins to 8,500rpm in what feels like zero time. Thanks to updated engine calibration, new intakes and better cooling, the power now rises to 1,603bhp when running on E85 fuel. That’s 1,282bhp if you're filling up at your regular Indian petrol pump.
Torque? Not officially stated yet, but expect a figure north of 1,500Nm. Performance numbers remain under wraps, but considering the Jesko is theoretically capable of over 482kmph, you can guess this one isn’t exactly sluggish.
It already smashed the lap record at Sweden’s Gotland Ring by 1.1 seconds, dethroning the Jesko Attack in the process. And that was just during shakedown testing.
The Aero Game
It’s all about airflow here. There’s a new top-mounted double-blade rear wing, more aggressive front canards, louvres, and aero-tuned hood vents. The bodywork has been stretched at the back for added high-speed stability, while the front works overtime to keep things planted.
Underneath sit new 7-spoke Aircore carbon-fibre wheels, exclusive to this model, wrapped in even wider track tyres. The brakes? Carbon-ceramic with upgraded pads. The suspension? Now with lighter springs and clever self-levelling trickery.
In total, it’s 35kg lighter than the Jesko Attack. Mostly thanks to lighter seats, 2.6kg worth of removed sound insulation, and the kind of obsessive weight-saving you usually see in cycling teams.
The Inside Story
Despite the wild specs, the Sadair’s Spear still offers a few creature comforts. There’s a digital driver display mounted on the steering column, a stereo, and even wireless charging. Optional six-point harnesses are available if you enjoy looking like a GT3 driver at the toll booth.
Price and Production
Now brace yourself. Each car costs £3.8 million, which converts to a neat ₹40 crore in India, give or take taxes, duties, and the will to live. Only 30 cars will be made. And no, you can’t have one. They’ve all been sold to existing Koenigsegg customers already, via private viewing. Lovely for them.
Final Thoughts
The Sadair’s Spear isn’t about subtlety. It’s a rolling manifesto — all fury, minimal filters. Built to bend time and tarmac, and possibly rearrange your spine. Christian von Koenigsegg calls it “a natural progression.” We call it absolutely barmy.
Just the way it should be.
