Yes yes, hypercars are silly and none of us will ever own them. I have a soft spot for Koenigsegg though, mainly because of all the cool things they try and the development work they do. They're not just buying an engine from someone and slapping a pretty body around it.
They have apparently set 4 new world records. From C&D:

"Koenigsegg test driver Markus Lundh was selected to pilot the Jesko Absolut for the record attempt. He clocked a time of 27.83 seconds, beating out the Koenigsegg Regera's 2023 time of 28.81. If one world record wasn't enough, Lundh blew past the 400-km/h mark and on to a top speed of 256 mph (412 km/h), setting three additional records in the process.
With the Jesko's twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 all hopped up on E85 fuel and pushing 1600 horsepower, Lund rocketed to 400 kph in 18.82 seconds, to 250 mph in 19.20 seconds, and 0–250–0 mph in 28.27 seconds. Incredibly, the reported top speed of 256 mph shows that the Jesko Absolut has even more time in the bank."
