Koenigsegg Jesko (Agera Successor)

Can someone explain the advantages of that to me? In which situation would it be preferable to skip a gear?

Accelerating from low speed, possibly?

Considering the car has 1600hp, smashing the throttle at low speed while going through the gears sequentially probably sounds like hell for the tyres.
 
Forza, Forza Horizon, NFS, Asphalt, Drive Club i don´t now which other games have Koenigsegg in there, but why never in GT i think this it´is not for license issues

surely that wing produces more than 44lb of downforce?

Uh yeah, why wouldn't it? They said the car generates like 1700-2000lbs of downforce from 155mph on up and I'm pretty sure that wing is a big part of it.
 
My eyes either skipped over the "mirrors" part, or the article was sneakily edited. either way, i'm glad i can serve a full buffet on that wing.
 
It has 7 clutches :lol: This thing is insane! Are all of the images we've seen so far of the track version, or are some the street model? Do we even know what that will look like yet?

I wonder why cars like this stir not a single emotion in me.

I mean, apart from shaking my head at how pointless it is. If you live near Nardo, maybe you can take it for a high speed run every once in a while. Other than that you might just set a new record for how quickly it drains the fuel tank.

We've hit a point where all these fast cars look very alike and are too fast for most humans (if not all). That plus they're priced stupidly and are only bought by investors. So these cars only see the road while being tested and reviewed.
 
The aero development of this thing is going to be nuts. Koenigsegg usually shows off a car and over time, small aero additions are added to make the car even crazier.

All the images of the Jesko are of the street-legal version. The car was developed with a lot of focus towards the track as well.

What about the one that was on display at the show? I ask because Shmee was saying that was the track version and wondered if he had his info mixed up...
 
First Koenigsegg I like exterior wise. The tech is simply incredible here. Someone need ask Kaz what's up with lack of eggs' in GT.
 
This Koenigsegg Jesko is not as gorgeous as the Agera and One:1 and such, but sign me up- always excited for a Koenigsegg! It is a pretty extreme machine; but then if you're replacing something like the Agera, you don't want its replacement to be vanilla. So this is a very cool car looking to do as much damage as almost any other Koenigsegg before it.

Taken from the official site:

The key to this functionality is found in both the transmission’s unique design and Koenigsegg’s intelligent ‘UPOD’ technology – Ultimate Power On Demand. UPOD is the brain that instantly selects and engages optimum gearing for maximum acceleration.

While modern dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) enjoy millisecond shift times, they can only pre-select for a fast shift in one direction. DCT’s are designed to predict and pre-select the next gear based on inputs from the driver. If that prediction is wrong – e.g the driver wants to shift from 5th gear to 4th, instead of the presumed and pre-selected 6th gear – the driver will experience G-force losses and a slow shift response.

In addition, DCT’s only work in single-gear intervals. From 7th gear to 6th, to 5th, to 4th, for example. If the driver is in 7th gear and wants 4th for maximum power, the DCT cannot pre-select 4th gear directly. The driver has to pass through 6th and 5th gears, wasting time and power.

The Koenigsegg LST overcomes this via its unique multi-clutch design and UPOD technology, which selects the optimum gear for maximum power with a light speed gear change, regardless of whether that gear is 1, 2 or even 5 gears away.

UPOD uses vehicle speed and engine speed to determine the correct gear for maximum power and directs the LST to engage that gear, no matter its relationship to the current gear. If you are in 7th gear and 4th is the optimal gear for maximum acceleration, UPOD can bypass downshifts to 6th and 5th gear and put the car directly from 7th to 4th – in light speed.

The effect is instant, prolific power that’s always optimised and always available, allowing maximum acceleration for overtaking, corner exits, etc.

Its crazy to think that this car puts out double the power of the already fast CCX and nearly double the torque.

Don't you ever skip a gear when you're driving? You don't always need every gear going up or down the box.

Real life is becoming more and more like GTA every day. I presume this also comes in bright pink with $ wheels? :)
