Enjoy the New Year
The KNC bodywork is achieved by grinding carbon fibre to its purest state, which not only makes the body more scratch-resistant, but also lighter than other painting methods because it removes rather than adds material. The weight of this body is about 20 kilograms lighter than that of a normal painted body, which is very important for a car that is looking for extreme speed. Königsegg estimates that Jesko Absolut can reach a top speed of more than 530 km/h, but of course this has yet to be proven by actual tests.
In addition to the KNC bodywork, the Jesko Absolut has a number of other customization details that make it a one-of-a-kind supercar. On the hard top, Koenigsegg's signature motif – the Soul of Performance – is ghosted, which stretches from the front to the rear, revealing the sleek lines of the body. On the brake calipers, mirrors and rear aerodynamic disc covers, there are also orange accents that add a touch of color to the bodywork.
The owner of this Jesko Absolut is most likely Carage Luzern, the official Koenigsegg dealer in Switzerland, a high-end car dealer who not only sells these exquisite supercars, but also collects them. The KNC bodywork seems to be their favorite, and three of their Koenigsegg models – the Jesko, Regera and One:1 all feature this unique exposed carbon fiber look. This Jesko Absolut is their latest collection, which can be seen below.
In August 2023, only these three cars are known globally to have a KNC body in Koenigsegg models. And now, they have one more in their collection. Although the KNC body is popular, there is also one reason why it is so rare, and that is its. The latest** KNC bodywork is a whopping $443,400 compared to regular metallic paint, which is more expensive than a brand new Rolls-Royce Gust.
Even for the world's super-rich, a body livery of more than $440,000 is a high **. Of course, the KNC bodywork also has its benefits. First of all, it is more unique (after all, Koenigsegg models are rare in their own right), which means that these models will be worth more in the future.
From a practical point of view, it is less prone to scratching. Moreover, it is lighter, about 20 kg lighter than a normal painted body. This is very important for a car like the Jesko Absolut because it is designed for extreme speed.
