\n\tA Koenigsegg Jesko<\/a> burned to the ground last year, prompting the Swedish hypercar company<\/a> to issue a recall and tell owners to stop driving the model. Koenigsegg<\/a> also said at the time it would make things right with the owner of the burned car, and now it has with the Koenigsegg Jesko N\u00fcr Revenge, a replacement that feels even more special than the original.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Jesko N\u00fcr Revenge was revealed on Instagram<\/a>, covered in \u201cnaked\u201d carbon fiber just like the original. The car also has \u201cgold leaf\u201d details, which are the same options that the original burned-up vehicle had. The burned-up Jesko, though, was one of just four with the carbon fiber body and gold leaf accents, making the N\u00fcr Revenge the fifth, with still only four surviving. That means that it\u2019s just as rare as the original, and also genuinely unique, given the backstory.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe N\u00fcr Revenge is also more special because it has more gold than the original, including in the wing endplates, and more gold-colored bits, like the brake calipers and the gold thread stitching in the interior, according to Road & Track<\/a>. Perhaps the owner of the burned Jesko decided that for the second go-around the car needed more gold, or perhaps Koenigsegg added more as an apology, but, as a whole, the new auto looks stunning. The car is also adorned with a Jesko N\u00fcr Revenge nameplate.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original car cost in the neighborhood of $3 million, and the replacement would likely be similarly priced if not for the circumstances. Like the original and other Jeskos, the Jesko N\u00fcr Revenge makes 1,280 horsepower from a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine that\u2019s mated to a nine-speed multi-clutch transmission. The massive downforce generated by the Jesko\u2019s aerodynamics is the other headline attraction, making it one of the fastest and grippiest street-legal cars on the planet. <\/p>\n

\n\tKoenigsegg had planned to build just 125 Jeskos, including the variations Jesko Attack<\/a>, Jesko Absolut<\/a>, and Sadair\u2019s Spear<\/a>. The Jesko N\u00fcr Revenge is now the 126th, and maybe even the last Jesko, though it wouldn\u2019t be a shocker if the brand decided it needed to make a few more between now and eternity. A car as special as the Jesko lends itself to that.<\/p>\n
