Koenigsegg has built a new car that looks like its oldest one. Welcome to the CC850: a 1,385hp hypercar with a very complicated manual/automatic gearbox, all clothed in the timeless design of Koenigsegg’s first ever production car. That’s the CC8S, providing ample proof of its ageless design concept because it looks just as fresh today as it did back in 2002. This new car celebrates 20 years since it first took flight, as well as the boss' 50th birthday. The CC850 achieves a 1:1 power to weight ratio with 1385hp (on E85) and a 1385 kg kerb weight. Oh, and did we forget to mention the perfect 1385 Nm @ 4800rpm for a full house? Join Top Gear magazine's Jack Rix and Christian von Koenigsegg for a guided tour around number 1 of 70 under the roof of the company's new factory.

This is the wingless Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut - according to Christian von Koenigsegg: “The name Absolut comes from the fact that this is the absolute fastest Koenigsegg we will ever make.” Yikes. The engine is a flat plane crank 5.1-litre twin-turbo V8 that for the most part feels naturally aspirated and always very angry indeed. It produces 1,578bhp and 1,106lb ft of torque, can rev from idle to 8,500rpm in 0.2 seconds, 0–62mph takes around 2.5 seconds and top speed in this Absolut version is theoretically the scary side of 310mph. We say theoretically, because no one’s found the space, or the brass balls, to find out yet... Only 125 will ever be built costing around £2.3m each, though deep pockets won’t help here – they’re all completely sold out. Allow Top Gear magazine's Jack Rix to be your guide on the fastest Koenigsegg ever.
