Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear hypercar unveiled: 1625 horsepower and a cost of over $5.2 million (11 photos)

Koenigsegg has unveiled a new hypercar called Sadair's Spear. It is positioned as a separate model, although, in fact, it is an even more extreme and track-oriented modification of the Jesko model. Only 30 of these cars will be assembled, and the company officially announced that they were all sold out during a closed presentation. According to Top Gear, the starting price for each was 3.8 million pounds, or almost 5.2 million dollars.





The new car retained the signature five-liter twin-turbocharged V8. However, the engine was recalibrated for its new purpose, and the cooling and air supply system was also modernized. As a result, the maximum engine output increased by 25 hp — up to 1625 hp, but it is achieved using E85 fuel. On regular gasoline, the engine will provide 1300 hp. The amount of generated thrust is from 1000 to 1500 Nm.

The hypercar was additionally lightened by 35 kilograms. This was achieved, for example, by abandoning some of the noise insulation, increasing the proportion of carbon in the design and other similar measures. Also among the differences from the platform donor, the redesigned aerodynamics are named: the body kit was optimized to generate maximum downforce at speeds typical for race tracks. It included, for example, an active wing, enlarged canards in the front part, optimized louvers in the wheel arches and revised air intakes. At 250 km/h, the package will provide 850 kilograms of downforce, at maximum speed - up to 1765 kilograms.

Koenigsegg does not provide any dynamic characteristics of the new product, except for the estimated maximum speed of 360 km/h. The potential of Sadair's Spear can only be judged by the lap time on the Gotland Ring track on the Swedish island of the same name: the new product was already able to set a track record during the first test runs, beating the previous record holder by 1.1 seconds. Before that, the fastest car on the track was considered to be the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack. It is separately noted that the new product is completely legal for public roads.

It is noteworthy that if Christian von Koenigsegg named his previous creation Jesko in honor of his own father, then Sadair's Spear also has a direct relation to it. This is the name of Jesko von Koenigsegg's last racehorse: he was a famous jockey in his youth and last raced in 1976.
