Koenigsegg Tells Jesko Proprietors to Halt Driving the Supercar Since One Caught Fire
In case you own a Koenigsegg Jesko, nowadays it may not be the day to require it for a turn.
The Swedish automaker has asked proprietors of the $3 million supercar to stop it for the predictable future, agreeing to a few outlets. The reason:
the company needs to figure out why one of its vehicles caught fire in Greece over the end of the week.
On Saturday morning, video started circulating online of the Jesko (not the one envisioned over) immersed in blazes on the side of the street near the city of Marousi, agreeing to Motor1.com. The vehicle, which had been a member within the Six2Six Europe Visit supercar rally, was said to have been traveling at moderate speeds (in spite of the fact that there were clashing reports it was being driven forcefully) when the blast began. The driver and their traveler were able to escape without harm, but the car wasn’t so fortunate. By the time crisis groups quenched the fire as it were identifiable parts of the Jesko that remained its tires.
Within the wake of the occurrence, Koenigsegg issued a Do-No-Drive Arrange (DNDO) for proprietors of the brand’s lead show, concurring to Egg Registry. The arrangement, which was sent by means of mail, educated them of what had happened and asked that they not drive the vehicle until a source of the burst might be determined.
Koenigsegg did not immediately react to a ask for comment from Robb Report on Tuesday morning.
One would imagine that the Jesko owner, an unidentified Spaniard, was happy that they and their travelers got away the frightening occurrence unharmed. That said, they’re more likely to hurt over the misfortune of the supercar. Egg Registry distinguishes the illustration as the Jesko NÜR Version, a bespoke creation that highlights an uncovered carbon-fiber wrap up that includes $443,400 to the hypercar’s as of now sky-high cost tag. To create matters more regrettable, the proprietor reportedly only took ownership of the car a number of weeks prior and put fair 100 miles on the odometer.
To date, Koenigsegg has built fair 28 illustrations of the Jesko, which highlights a rear-mid-mounted twin-turbocharged V-8 that produces 1,280 hp. It plans to construct fair 125 before production of the vehicle closes.
The Unused Audi E-Tron Is the Marque’s Most Capable Generation Car Ever
Audi might not have chosen a better title for the unused RS E-Tron GT Execution.
The German marque has just revealed a unused range-topping form of its amazing battery-powered vehicle for 2025. The unused variation isn’t fair the company’s most effective EV, it’s its most capable generation car ever.
The RS E-Tron GT Execution debuts as portion of the model’s mid-cycle revive. Beginning following demonstrating year, drivers will have three flavors to select from:
the S E-Tron GT, the RS E-Tron GT, and the RS E-Tron GT Execution. The plan of the sedan’s outside has been beautifully much cleared out alone, the greatest distinction being a changed form of Audi’s ring symbol up front and a carbon roof. Premium add-ons incorporate a shrewd glass roof, 21-inch, six-spoke manufactured wheels propelled by those worn by the Avus Quattro concept from the early 1990s and a Bedford green wrap up that’s as it was accessible on the RS E-Tron GT Execution. The EV’s roomy cabin looks close to the same, despite the fact that it does presently include a squared-off controlling wheel, superior seats, and overhauled illustrations.
The greater changes for 2025 begin with the E-Tron GT’s overhauled (and lighter) dual-motor powertrain. The units within the S E-Tron GT and RS E-Tron GT offer a bounty of power—670 hp and 845 hp, respectively—but the bigger story here is the RS E-Tron GT Performance’s setup, which produces an amazing 912 steers. That figure makes it the most effective Audi street car however (in spite of the fact that it is still less capable than its cousin, the 1,019-hp Porsche Taycan Turbo GT). It’s small ponder the variation is the company’s to begin with EV regarded worthy of the Execution tag.
Beat speed may be a less shocking, but still amazing, 155 mph.
EV execution is almost more than fair brute quality and speed, in spite of the fact that. The E-Tron GT is getting an overhauled battery pack that ups usable capacity from 84 kWh to 97 kWh, while weighing 20 pounds less than some time recently (another way the vehicle has shed pounds). Much appreciated to the alter, the EV encompasses a extend of up to 378 miles, in spite of the fact that that number was decided using Europe’s more liberal WLTP testing cycle. Charging control has more been moved forward, so drivers will be able to require battery capacity from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes when associated with a DC quick charger.
The modern E-Tron GT will go on deal later this year. Audi has however to report US estimates, but in Europe the S E-Tron GT will start at €126,000 (around $135,300), the RS E-Tron GT at €147,500 ($158,400), and the RS E-Tron GT Execution at € 160,500 ($172,400).
