Koenigsegg Tells Owners Of Jesko To Stop Driving Their $3M Hypercar After One Burst Into Flames
Koenigsegg Automotive tells owners of Jesko not to drive their $3 million Hypercar after one burst into flames.
Luckily, the driver and the passenger were able to safely exit before the $3 million hypercar burned down.
Swedish-based Koenigsegg plans to build just 125 units of the 1,600-HP Jesko hypercar, which starts at $3 million.
The Do-Not-Drive order affects 27 Jesko owners who have taken delivery of their hypercar.
Koenigsegg Automotive has issued a Do-Not-Drive Order (DNDO) for owners of Jesko after one of the flagship hypercar suddenly went up in flames over the weekend while participating in the 6to6 Motor Europe Tour.
“Don’t yet know the cause of the incident”, Swedish-based Koenigsegg Automotive said in an email to owner’s of the $3 million hypercar, which was made available to Egg Registry by a Jesko customer.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we ask all Jesko owners and drivers to hold off on driving their cars until we have had a chance to understand the situation better.”
Koenigsegg plans to build just 125 units of the 1,600-HP Jesko hypercar, which starts at $3 million. The Do-Not-Drive order affects 27 Jesko owners who have taken delivery of their hypercar.
This Jesko isn’t the base variant but a bespoke track-focused creation called Jesko NÜR Edition, which boasts a $443,400 unpainted carbon fiber body accented by 24-carat gold trim details.
This nearly brand new $3 million-plus Koenigsegg Jesko hypercar with less than 200 kilometers (124 miles) on the odometer had just been delivered to its Spanish owner a couple weeks before the incident.
Luckily, no one was injured in the fire accident, including the driver and the passenger who were able to safely exit the Koenigsegg Jesko before the $3 million hypercar burned down.
