Watch The Koenigsegg Jesko Test Car Dance On Ice During Egg Hunt

Much like its hypercars, Koenigsegg's marketing team is on another level. A spectacular car such as the Jesko deserves an action-packed promo, and "Egghunt" certainly delivers the excitement. Just ahead of Catholic Easter, the upcoming 1,600-horsepower machine served as a tool in an egg hunt on the icy roads of northern Sweden where the Agera RS replacement is being tested.

Arjeplog was the Jesko's playground with expansive frozen lakes, allowing Koenigsegg's new speed machine to test its rear-wheel steering. We also get to hear the marvelous music played by the flat-plane V8 engine, a twin-turbo 5.0-liter unit that revs up to 8,500 rpm. Those gear changes you're hearing are made by the nine-speed Light Speed Transmission, which promises to bring a boost in performance equal to that of the DSG launched in 2003 on the VW Golf R32.
