It is not every day that you get the chance to see a Koenigsegg Jesko with your own eyes. They are super expensive, super exclusive, and super rare. So, no wonder pedestrians in London stopped everything they were doing and stared at the car in wonder when they saw it roaming the streets.
The Koenigsegg Jesko looks like a predator that is out on a hunt in Mayfair, un upscale district in London. Everything about the car confirms that it is starving for attention. And it has the right to be.
What we are looking at is the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack "Vimana." It gets that label from the owner's private jet company. Ameerh Naran is also the founder and CEO of Naran Automotive, a company getting ready to roll out a revolution in the segment of the hyper GTs.
Naran has just got his hypercar delivered, and he is not planning to lock it in some temperature-controlled garage. By the way that engine is revved up on the streets of London, it looks like this car begs to be driven, and Naran is going to comply. And turn a gazillion heads while at it.
The model sports a unique spec, starting with the jaw-dropping green-tinted carbon fiber body with stripes in Sweet Mandarin, which is Keonigsegg's way of calling orange. It features aerodynamic Geneva-style fins, also painted in Sweet Mandarin.

The Jesko Attack cruising in London is equipped with the optional Carbon Wing Mirrors and rides on AirCore Carbon wheels with Sweet Mandarin brake calipers.
Cream Leather covers the seats, dashboard, and door cards, while the "Vimana" logo is embroidered on the headrests as well as on the dashboard in front of the passenger.
There is a contrasting black aluminum trim on board, and there is also a hand-made, old-school, analog G-Force Meter on board, sitting atop the dashboard.
The Koenigsegg Jesko is powered by a 5.1-liter (309-cubic-inch) twin-turbocharged V8 engine, mated to a nine-speed Koenigsegg LST multi-clutch transmission. The powerplant pumps out 1,280 horsepower (1,298 metric horsepower) when fed with petrol or 1,600 horsepower (1,622 metric horsepower) when on E85.
The Jesko sports a massive rear wing and a large carbon fiber front splitter, capable of generating as much as 800 kilograms (1,764 pounds) of downforce at 249 kph (155 mph), 1,000 kilograms (2,205 pounds) at 275 kph (171 mph), and 1,400 kilograms (3,086 pounds) at the top speed.
The Swedish automaker has never disclosed the top speed, though. They do, however, claim that the Jesko Absolute version can hit a top speed of 300 mph (483 kph).
The Koenigsegg Jesko Attack "Vimana," just another car in Naran's garage
The Koenigsegg Jesko, rated at around $3 million before checking any option boxes, is just one of the many cars that Ameerh Naran owns. Furthermore, his company, Naran Automotive, is working on the Naran hyper coupe.
It will come as a four-seater powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, steering power to all four wheels. The power plant should generate around 1,000 horsepower and run from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 kph) in 2.5 seconds.
The British businessman says the hyper coupe will feature in-house-developed flax hybrid carbon fiber wheels, while its specs will redefine the game. First reports about the model surfaced online back in 2021. However, there is no information on the exact release date yet.
