Ängelholm, Sweden – The Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear has set a new lap record for homologated production cars at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, achieving a verified time of 1:24.16 on November 4, 2025. The record was established by Koenigsegg factory test driver Markus Lundh, and verified by Racelogic.
Record-Breaking Precision Under Restrictive Conditions
The achievement is particularly impressive given Laguna Seca’s strict 90 dB noise limit, which forced the team to install a temporary auxiliary muffler behind the car. Despite the added weight and aerodynamic impact, the Sadair’s Spear delivered flawless performance — highlighting the depth of Koenigsegg’s engineering capabilities.
With minimal setup time on track, the car showcased its stability, traction, and aerodynamic efficiency, outperforming previous record holders under challenging acoustic restrictions.
Engineering Excellence
The Sadair’s Spear is the latest expression of Koenigsegg’s in-house innovation, combining advanced aerodynamics, electric-assist systems, and lightweight construction with the brand’s signature Aeroskin active bodywork and Autoskin functionality.
Christian von Koenigsegg praised his team’s achievement:
“We knew that the Sadair’s Spear had the potential to beat the lap record. To achieve this feat with the added muffler installed shows how much more performance lies within the car. The fact that our fully road-legal Sadair’s Spear — complete with electric seats, sound insulation, and comfort systems — can outperform stripped-out track cars is a testament to the passion and precision behind every Koenigsegg creation.”

A New Benchmark for Production Hypercars
The lap time of 1:24.16 redefines what a street-legal hypercar can achieve at one of the world’s most demanding circuits. According to Koenigsegg, the result demonstrates the synergy between aerodynamics, chassis control, and hybrid technology that characterises the new generation of Koenigsegg hypercars.
The company hinted that future tests under less restrictive noise regulations could lead to even faster times.

Conclusion
With its record-setting run at Laguna Seca, the Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear continues the brand’s tradition of pushing beyond limits. Combining Swedish precision, innovative hybrid engineering, and real-world usability, it cements Koenigsegg’s position as the world’s benchmark in high-performance automotive design.
