It's only a couple of months since Swedish hypercar manufacturer Koenigsegg reclaimed the much coveted 0-400 kilometre-an-hour record from Rimac with their absolutely insane Jesko Absolut.
And now they've done it again. According to Top Gear they've beaten their own records through two benchmarks; the fastest quarter-mile and fastest standing half-mile (the official measurements are British miles here, apparently).
Test driver Markus Lundh piloted the Jesko Absolut to a quarter-mile time of 8.54 seconds, crossing the line at 305 kilometres and hour. The car then continued to an astonishing 373 kilometres an hour in the standing half-mile, completing the run in just 12.76 seconds.
The Jesko Absolut has been specifically engineered for straight-lined speed, so it comes as no surprise. Maybe Rimac will attempt to beat it?
