This is the new Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear, the latest hypercar built by the world’s most famous Swedish hypercar manufacturer.
It’s based on the Koenigsegg Jesko, but it is even more extreme, which is interesting because we definitely wouldn’t call the Jesko tame or slow.
Production, as you can probably imagine, is limited.
And the reason behind the name is fascinating.

Sadair’s Spear is like a ‘regular’ Koenigsegg Jesko, but more brutal
The Sadair’s Spear is a street-legal hypercar inspired by the Jesko.
Thanks to revised tuning and improved airflow, it produces 1,300 horsepower on regular fuel or 1,625 horsepower (25 horsepower more than before) on E85.
On top of that, the Swedish hypercar manufacturer managed to shave off an extra 35 kilograms to a car that was already pretty lightweight, which means this car is capable of producing almost one horsepower for every kilogram of its weight.
Koenigsegg said it’ll only build 30 units, and they all sold out immediately ahead of the launch.
Color us shocked.
The price hasn’t been revealed yet, but the standard Jesko starts at around $3 million.
We would confidently add a few hundred thousand dollars, or maybe even an extra million, for the Sadair’s Spear.
The reason behind the name is interesting
The Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear is named after the horse that Jesko von Koenigsegg, the company’s founder’s father, rode in his final race in 1976.
The idea behind the name is romantic, but also indicative of the car’s purpose.
The Jesko is no slouch, but, according to Koenigsegg, the Sadair’s Spear is even more of a thoroughbred and even more race- and track-focused.
The Sadair’s Spear is a thoroughbred racer for the track and yet, despite the massive wing and stripped down interior, is actually street-legal.
Even though, as per usual, most customers will probably park it in an air-conditioned vault for the next few years.
