With the new Sadair's Spear, Koenigsegg presents the sharpest production model in its history - a tribute to tradition and a technological exclamation mark at the same time. Named after the favorite racehorse of Jesko von Koenigsegg, the father of company founder Christian, the new car is not only an emotional gesture, but also a statement of engineering skill.
Tradition meets technology: the story behind the name
The name "Sadair's Spear" goes back to the racehorse that Jesko von Koenigsegg rode in his last horse show in 1976. After Christian dedicated the "Jesko" model to his father, Sadair's Spear is now another emotional tribute - this time in the form of a superlative road-legal racing car.
Technical highlights and performance

Drive: 5.0-liter V8 biturbo with the revolutionary Light Speed Transmission (LST ), 46,000 rpm/s torque increase
Weight reduction: 35 kg lighter than the Jesko Attack - thanks to new carbon technology, reduced insulation and optimized mechanics
