Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear
Koenigsegg has revealed a new limited-production model called Sadair’s Spear. The car features increased power, reduced weight and a track-oriented setup, while remaining fully road legal. Only 30 units will be produced. According to Koenigsegg, all units were sold immediately following a private unveiling. During testing at Gotland Ring, the car recorded a lap time 1.1 seconds faster than the Jesko Attack.
Sadair’s Spear is named after a racehorse once ridden by Jesko von Koenigsegg, father of company founder Christian von Koenigsegg. The name follows Koenigsegg's earlier tribute, the Jesko, named in honour of Jesko on his 80th birthday.
