Koenigsegg Jesko Attack breaks record for fastest lap at Laguna Seca

Koenigsegg Jesko Attack

Koenigsegg has successfully broken the latest record for the fastest lap at the Laguna Seca circuit using the Jesko Attack.

The hypercar circuited the Laguna Seca Raceway with a time of 1:24.86, consequently surpassing the previous record holder, the Czinger 21C (1:25.44).

This is an impressive achievement considering that Koenigsegg test driver Markus Lundh had never set foot on the famous track before.

In fact, this was also the first time the performance of the Jesko was tested at the Laguna Seca circuit.

The Koenigsegg Jesko is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine capable of producing a staggering 1,600 hp using E85 fuel.

In comparison to the Absolute variant, which prioritizes top speed, the Attack variant used in this lap record has a more aggressive aerodynamic package, along with specific suspension tuning and shorter gear ratios.

For comparison, several high-performance production cars also recorded their fastest lap times at the track, including the McLaren 765LT (1:27.50), McLaren Senna (1:27.62), and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT (1:27.87)
