Ängelholm, Sweden –
In the rarefied air where physics blurs and billionaires get competitive, Koenigsegg has just unleashed a four-wheeled ballistic missile with a horse’s name and a gladiator’s attitude. Meet Sadair’s Spear—a hypercar so extreme, it makes the Jesko look like it just came from finishing school.
Celebrating not only Swedish horsepower but also actual horse heritage, Christian von Koenigsegg has once again dipped into the family vault—this time naming his carbon-clad rocket after his father’s favourite racehorse. It’s touching. It’s terrifying. It’s also got 1,625 horsepower and an appetite for racetrack records.
A Thoroughbred Born for War
The Spear doesn’t gently gallop; it lunges straight for the apex with three key advantages: less weight, more power, and a body sculpted like it was wind-tunnel tested by Thor himself.
- A new top-mounted double-blade rear wing slices the air like it’s prepping sushi.
- Enlarged front canards and Gurney flaps add just enough aggression to make a Boeing jealous.
- Lightweight 7-spoke carbon wheels (with turbine styling, no less) look like they belong on a spaceship or a Bond villain’s escape pod.
It’s not just faster—it’s smarter. It understands airflow better than your average meteorologist.
Heart of a Beast, Brain of a Genius
Beneath that elongated, aerodynamically refined shell lies Koenigsegg’s twin-turbo V8, paired with their flywheel-free Light Speed Transmission—capable of 46,000 rpm/s shifts, or roughly what a caffeinated squirrel would sound like if it were an engine.
On regular fuel: 1,300 horsepower.
On E85: a glorious, eco-friendly 1,625 horsepower, which is either an ode to sustainability or a polite apology to the ozone layer.
Weight? Trimmed by 35 kilograms, partly by removing sound insulation—because who needs silence when your soundtrack is V8 thunder at full chat?
Inside: Race Car Chic
Minimalism is in, and Koenigsegg has turned it into an art form. The racing seats are lighter. The console is smarter. The sound insulation is gone (we assume it took the radio with it). Optional six-point harnesses are available if your idea of comfort involves straps and a G-force survival strategy.
Of course, the tech stays posh. Touchscreens, inductive phone charging, even Koenigsegg’s party trick “Autoskin” system that makes the doors open like it’s auditioning for Transformers 7: Swedish Edition.
Already Breaking Records—And Wallets
During shake-downs at Gotland Ring, Sadair’s Spear beat the Jesko Attack’s lap time by 1.1 seconds—a margin that, in Koenigsegg’s world, is the equivalent of Usain Bolt winning a sprint while texting.
Only 30 units will be made. All sold before the public even saw them. If you have to ask about the price, you’re probably not on Christian’s speed dial.
Koenigsegg’s Final Word
In the words of Christian von Koenigsegg:
“Sadair’s Spear is not just a car. It’s a family heirloom that punches through the air like it’s got somewhere to be and no time for traffic.”
Well, that sums it up nicely. A car born of nostalgia, engineered for supremacy, and named after a horse—because in Sweden, horsepower still means something.
Long live the Spear. Just don’t stand in front of it.
