Koenigsegg also wants to beat Bugatti's record
Literally, the Molsheim brand "upset the chicken coop" a few days ago when a modified Chiron broke the speed record on a track in Germany. The Chiron Sport Longtail exceeded the 300 miles per hour (484 km / h) mark, reaching a maximum speed of 490.4 km / h.

The response of the other manufacturers did not wait. The first to jump on stage was Hennessey who "congratulated" Bugatti, while promising that its F5 would exceed the 500 km / h barrier.

And, although that record cannot be considered official, because the Guinness record book specifies that to be considered the fastest production car in the world, it is necessary that the model takes a round trip on the same circuit, and the modified Chiron only made his one-way career.

Even with all this controversy, Koenigsegg also took the time to “congratulate” Bugatti for achieving this achievement, while they launched what for many is a declaration of war, talking about the benefits that his Jesko will have in an interview they had with the top gear team.
“We've said it before and we'll say it once again now, our high-speed version of the Jesko should be fully capable of reaching 500 kilometers per hour without any problem”, Commented the Swedish brand team during the interview.

If you're wondering what they mean by "Jesko high speed", We remind you that during the debut of this model at the Geneva Auto Show 2019, Christian commented that a version called Jesko 300 would be released, a model that did not give details but promises to be even more powerful than the conventional model, which will arrive equipped with 1,600 horsepower.
If you are doubting the veracity of these words, think twice, remember that Koenigsegg currently has the official speed record for a production model, as its Koenigsegg Agera RS He was able to complete his round trips on the circuit, with an average speed of 447 kilometers per hour.
