Factory test driver (and overall awesome guy) Markus Lundh drove the Jesko Absolut to a new world record on August 7th. This latest record smashed the previous benchmark of 27.83 seconds made in 2024 -- even though the exact same car was used. This was made possible by new and improved software strategies dubbed “Absolut Overdrive" which will also be made available through over-the-air software updates to customer cars.

Times were recorded and verified using industry-standard timing equipment from Racelogic with verification of the data by Racelogic Ltd HQ.
