"Before you ask, it's pronounced "YES-koh".
One of the most requested cars has made its way to the Festival and it defies expectations. This surprisingly road-legal car kicks out 1600hp when fueled with E85, utilizing the latest version of Koenigsegg's twin-turbo 5L V8 and a nine-speed gearbox that somehow has seven clutches.
It was unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Auto Show as the successor to the Agera RS named for the founder of the company's father, Jesko von Koenigsegg. The version unveiled in Geneva features a large active rear wing and air intakes, designed to emphasize downforce to keep the car under control at ridiculously high speeds. The Jesko is a huge milestone for a company that already puts out some truly incredible hypercars – this car is intended to break the 300mph barrier, and pave the way for more accessible Koenigsegg hypercars in the future."—Official description[1]
The 2020 Koenigsegg Jesko is a RWD extreme track toy by Koenigsegg featured in Forza Horizon 4 since Update 30.

Synopsis
The Koenigsegg Jesko is a track-focused hypercar that debuted at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show to replace the Koenigsegg Agera.
Named after the company founder's father, Jesko von Koenigsegg, the Jesko features a redesigned V8 engine capable of 1600 hp (1193 kW), a compact nine-speed transmission and an aero kit that produces more than 2200 lb-ft of downforce at 170 mph (274 km/h), underlining the car's classification as a megacar.
Engine and drivetrain
The five liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine was developed from the Koenigsegg Agera RS. It is fitted with a 180° "flat-plane" crankshaft for a lower weight that was developed alongside new connecting rods and pistons that reduce additional vibrations from the flat-plane design. To spool up the turbochargers more quickly for a quicker engine response, they are supplied with 290 psi (20 bar) of pressurized air that comes from a 20 liter carbon-fiber air tank on demand.
The Jesko is depicted in the Forza series running on gasoline, as evident by a power output of 1280 hp (954 kW) and torque rated at 883 ft·lb (1197 N·m). When running on E85 biofuel, it is officially claimed to output 1600 hp (1193 kW).[2]
New to the Koenigsegg line-up is the car's light nine-speed, seven-clutch automatic transmission that is 50% shorter than the seven-speed transmission in outgoing Koenigsegg models. Officially called the "Light Speed Transmission" (LST), it requires only 20 to 30 miliseconds per shift, thanks to the multi-clutch setup that enables a simultaneous opening and closing of the clutches.[3]
Platform
The Jesko inherits the mid-engine, rear-wheel drive design from previous Koenigsegg cars, targeting a low weight and maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
Using a deep front splitter with active flaps, a large rear diffuser and massive boomerang-shaped active rear wing, the Jesko produces 2200 lb (998 kg) of downforce at 170 mph (274 km/h), which is 30 percent more than the Koenigsegg One:1, Koenigsegg's previous recordholder. Due to the extreme downforce, a "Triplex" horizontal damper was installed at the middle of its front suspension to keep the car level under acceleration.[4]

Trivia
- The Jesko is the first 2020s car to appear in the Forza series.
- In Forza Horizon 4, there are a few inaccuracies with the Jesko:
- The accelerometer does not move and the tachometer does not self-level as the steering wheel is rotated.
- The centre braking light from the production model is missing.
- The centre reverse light does not fully illuminate and is incorrectly used as a centre braking light.
- Upgrading to the Race Turbo raises the power output to 1600HP. This is the same output the real car is claimed to receive when running on E85.
