New Koenigsegg Alert! This is the £3.8m, 1,603bhp Sadair’s Spear, built to smash records

Thought the 1,578bhp, bewinged Jesko Attack was as extreme as road-legal Koenigseggs could get? Christian von Koenigsegg begs to differ, because here is the new Sadair’s Spear, a lighter, more powerful, more downforce-y and therefore more track-focused take on Koenigsegg’s hypercar, designed to wreak havoc on your concept of fast and rearrange your internal organs.

First, that name. You may recall the Jesko was named after Christian’s father for his 80th birthday, to say thanks for his help with the company in its early years. Beats a pair of socks. You probably didn’t know Jesko was a keen jockey, nor the name of the horse he rode in his final race in 1976. Yep, Sadair’s Spear.
