The Koenigsegg Jesko has some of the most extreme aerodynamics of any road car. With a single goal of “blistering on-track performance” (Koenigsegg’s words), you will be equally likely to see a Jesko idling around Lake Como as you will whisking the innards of its owner on a racetrack.

In order to do that hypercar thing of going fast on a track and that Koeniggsegg thing of going fast in a straight line, it needs active aerodynamics that allow it to either grip or slip the air. One of the main aero elements is the front splitter. It is the deepest splitter ever fitted to a Koenigsegg and even in the care carbon fiber finish it looks rather large. The front splitter has large active flaps that open and close to help manage over and understeer. Apparently, they have also found that they can release downforce during high-speed braking events to preserve the front splitter. I wonder if they found that the nose would scrape without releasing the downforce while testing it on the track or through simulations. I would imagine even Jay Leno would be scraping this chin every once in a while, despite his familiarity of driving supercars with deep front splitters. It isn’t easy having that large of a chin.
