Koenigsegg has unveiled a masterpiece to start 2025: a bespoke Jesko Attack finished in Koenigsegg Naked Carbon (KNC) with 24-carat gold leaf accents. Destined for Melbourne, Australia, this extraordinary hypercar is the first right-hand-drive KNC Gold Leaf Jesko Attack, set to be owned by 35-year-old billionaire Adrian Portelli.
The term “Koenigsegg Naked Carbon” (KNC) refers to the car’s uncoated carbon-fiber bodywork. Unlike traditional carbon finishes, which are sealed with lacquer or varnish, the Jesko’s carbon surface has been polished to remove the thin layer of epoxy, leaving a raw, industrial appearance. This finish allows light to interact directly with the carbon strands, creating a striking metallic effect that highlights the intricate craftsmanship.
To elevate its exclusivity, the car features 24-carat gold leaf accents, etched with Koenigsegg’s iconic ghost logo. This design element pays homage to the company’s origins: the ghost is a nod to the Ghost Squadron, a Swedish Air Force unit that previously operated out of the airfield where Koenigsegg’s factory now resides.
The Jesko Attack is more than just a work of art—it’s a track-focused hypercar with breathtaking performance. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine, it produces up to 1,600 horsepower on E85 fuel. Its cutting-edge aerodynamics and advanced suspension make it capable of astonishing lap times, including a blistering 1:24.86 at Laguna Seca.
Koenigsegg estimates the cost of this bespoke KNC Gold Leaf Jesko Attack to be over $2.9 million USD with options. For Portelli, who is no stranger to owning exclusive vehicles, this car is a pinnacle of performance and luxury—a fitting addition to his collection.
As Koenigsegg celebrates its 30th anniversary of pushing automotive boundaries, the KNC Gold Leaf Jesko Attack stands as a testament to the brand’s relentless pursuit of innovation and artistry.
