It’s been a while since we got a garage update from Manny Khoshbin. In his latest video posted on YouTube, Manny reveals why he cancelled his Koenigsegg Jesko order, and no, it hasn’t got anything to do with reliability concerns voiced by some owners publicly on social media in the recent past.
Manny has cancelled his Jesko order simply because he is getting an upgrade. Since he is an old customer, Christian von Koenigsegg has agreed to allot him a Sadair’s Spear – a more exclusive, track-focused version of Jesko. It is lighter and more powerful than the standard version and is limited to just 30 units.
The hypercar features a more extreme aero package with an active, top-mounted double-blade rear wing, refined underfloor strakes, wheel arch louvres, larger canards and hood vents.
The twin-turbo V8 engine has been tuned to deliver 1625 hp on E85 fuel, up from 1300 hp. The car weighs 35 kg less than the standard Jesko, enhancing its power-to-weight ratio beyond 1:1.
The Sadair’s Spear holds the Goodwood Hill Climb record, completing the run in 47.14 seconds. It also held the lap record at Laguna Seca until the Czinger 21C destroyed it earlier this month.
