The cost of this car is incredibly expensive in Absolute form (a cool $4mill) and some of the extras are mind blowing in price.
Koenigsegg Jesko: configurator, price
- 08/17/2020
The carbon rims of the Koenigsegg Jesko cost more than an AMG C 63
The carbon rims of the 1600 hp Koenigsegg Jesko cost over 88,000 euros and are not even the most expensive extra on the hyper sports car!
There are super sports cars and there are hyper sports cars : while a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ or a Ferrari 488 Pista already costs several hundred thousand euros, there are hypercars such as Bugatti , Pagani and Co generally not under a million euros.
Anyone who thinks that the prices include all extras is wrong. This is shown by the configurator of the new Koenigsegg Jesko, which is only accessible to future owners of the 1600 PS !
In his latest video, real estate investor and life coach Manny Khoshbin gives an extensive insight into the configurator of the 1600 hp Koenigsegg Jesko.
In the USA, the Jesko, which is limited to 125 pieces, has a base price of 2.84 million US dollars, in Germany the base price is probably just under 2.8 million euros. Khoshbin, who owns several Bugatti, a Pagani, a McLaren P1 and other hyper sports cars, also had the Koenigsegg RS Phoenix, a one-off that he sold after just six months for a profit of around 1.5 million euros.
Paintwork for over 50,000 euros
The golden stripes are made of real gold leaf and cost the equivalent of around 37,000 euros.
In the course of the next one to two years, a Koenigsegg Jesko should move into his garage. In a first configurator session, Khoshbin tries to find out exactly what the 1600 hp Jesko should look like. Let's start with the painting: standard colors such as black or white are free of charge. Metallic costs the equivalent of 11,720 euros (13,900 US dollars) extra, while pearl effect paints cost 20,900 euros (24,800 US dollars).
The two candy colors "Apple Red" and "Sweet Mandarin" are even more expensive and cost an extra 53,400 euros (63,300 US dollars).
It gets completely crazy with the carbon finish. The body of the Jesko is of course completely made of carbon - if customers want the car to be made of "normal" carbon fiber, the equivalent of 246,000 euros (292,000 US dollars) will be due. Colored carbon costs 291,000 euros (346,100 US dollars). The colors green, blue, red and purple are available.
But it can be even more expensive: The special KNC finish costs an unbelievable 374,000 euros (443,400 US dollars). KNC stands for Koenigsegg Naked Carbon and describes a carbon finish invented by the Swedes in which the carbon is left as untreated as possibleand thus has a "wet" effect. Those who cannot find the right color among these numerous options naturally also have the option of having Koenigsegg mix their own personal shade.
Rims cost more than an AMG C 63
But the detailed configurator offers many other customization options such as central stripes in gold leaf for an inexpensive 37,000 euros (43,700 US dollars) or to put it in Manny Khoshbin's words: "Only 43,700 dollars, not bad." Compared to the rims of the Jesko, however, the gold leaf stripes are almost a bargain.
If you want to have the real carbon wheels for your Koenigsegg Jesko, you have to plan around 88,000 euros (104,900 US dollars) for them. This means that the rims cost more than a brand new Mercedes-AMG C 63!
Jesko Absolut for around 500,000 euros extra
The extras in the interior, however, are not quite as expensive. Customers can choose from all the leather / Alcantara colors offered at no extra charge - but special requests are also extra here. Control elements and ventilation nozzles made of black aluminum cost 13,000 euros (15,700 US dollars), harness belts are available for 6500 euros (7700 US dollars) and an individualized badge costs just 2360 euros (2800 US dollars).
In the end, Manny Khoshbin's configuration costs just under 2.9 million euros (3.42 million US dollars), although the Jesko is probably a bit more expensive in Germany. Alternatively, he could also drive the theoretically 531 km / h fast Jesko Absolut order, at 3.45 million euros (4.08 million US dollars) it costs over half a million euros more!
