At many shows featuring supercars, I don’t pay them much attention. They don’t evoke the same emotions in me as a beautifully modified car or a youngtimer. But for this Koenigsegg Jesko Attack, the first on Dutch plates, I’m more than happy to make an exception. Because right now, this is the epitome and definition of a hypercar, or should we call it a megacar?

This car churns out a staggering one point one nine megawatts (1.19 MW) from its twin-turbo V8, which translates to 1600 horsepower, provided you fill it up with E85. This fact is clearly highlighted when you peek through the massive spoiler – there’s a plaque detailing what this car is capable of. Mind-boggling figures, especially when you consider that the Chiron Super Sport boasts the same horsepower. It just needs twice the number of cylinders (W16) to achieve it.
