If you thought the Jesko was crazy, Koenigsegg just made it crazier. Meet the Sadair's Spear - a more extreme, lightweight, and angry version of the Jesko Attack. Released on June 25, this hypercar hopes not to brag about big numbers but give pure driving experience, unrestrained, designed to break records, and absolutely break your neck. Oh, and by the way, all 30 of them are already sold to private collectors.
For the rest of us who will never own it, here is a breakdown of what makes this vehicle so crazy.
A Track Monster in a Street-Legal Shell
Koenigsegg probably built this car more for the racetrack than for regular roads, making it their most extreme one yet. Designed to stick to the asphalt like glue, the Sadair's Spear was built with one purpose in mind: Crush lap times.
What's changed?
- Huge, double-bladed, active rear wing
- New front aero bits and vented arches
- It produces over 3,891 pounds of downforce, which is even more than the car itself weighs!
- On the GotlandRing track, it managed to clock a lap time that was 1.1 seconds faster than the Jesko Attack.
It's road legal, yes, but don't expect to take it to Costco. This thing is essentially a race car with license plates.
More Power, Same Legendary V8
They didn't develop a new engine from scratch; instead, Koenigsegg enhanced the one they already had. They’ve modified (retuned) the same 5.0L twin-turbo V8 that is in Jesko to give it more power and more efficient cooling. It’s matched with the brand’s extremely rapid Light Speed Transmission (LST) that shifts gears in the blink of an eye, with no lag at all.
Power stats:
- 1,625 hp on E85 biofuel
- Around 1,300 hp on regular gas
- Lighter flywheel-less construction = instant power delivery
- Nine-speed LST with multiple shift modes
This doesn’t just accelerate, this is a launch. And when this car reaches a corner, it sticks like a slot car.
Lightweight, But Still Livable
Koenigsegg went deep into the details to shed every ounce that it could. To put that into perspective, the Sadair's Spear weighs about 77 lbs less than the Jesko Attack. But while it discarded the fluff, it did not go full "bare-bones race car."
Inside the cockpit:
- Ultra-light carbon bucket seats.
- Optional six-point harnesses.
- Retains A/C, airbags, stereo, and phone charging.
- Carbon wheels, thinner glass.
It's not exactly plush, but you're not going to be suffering, either. This strikes a very nice balance between savage and civilized.
Sorry, You Can’t Buy One
The real tragedy? You had your chance. Only 30 cars will be made—and all spoiled available before the public show. The vast majority was offered to Koenigsegg’s exclusive community of collectors.
Exclusive society:
- Each car will be around $5.2 million
- Offered as through private invites
- Most buyers will probably never use it to its full potential
- A few are guaranteed to go into private museums
So, yeah, its rarefied air. Though, watching a few videos of this beast blow by on YouTube would be enough to give any car nut goosebumps.

Conclusion
While we won't ever drive an Sadair's Spear, vehicles like this one help us understand why we love performance vehicles. They remind us that it's not just more horsepower that engages us as enthusiasts, but passion, precision, and exploitation of the limits of every facet. Koenigsegg aren't merely building cars, they are building statements. And this one is telling us that records are meant to be smashed.
