29 Jun KOENIGSEGG SADAIR’S SPEAR

In the world of hypercars, every model tells a story. For Christian von Koenigsegg, the stories are personal. First came the Jesko, a thunderous ode to his father. Now enters the Sadair’s Spear—a visceral, track-focused homage to his own youthful past as a jockey, named after the racehorse he rode in his final competitive gallop back in 1976.

Only 30 examples of this road-legal beast will ever exist. And every last one? Already claimed.

⚙️ Engineering Without Compromise

Beneath its sculpted shell, the Sadair’s Spear channels Koenigsegg’s signature fury via the brand’s twin-turbo V8, pumping out 1,300 hp on conventional fuel—and a staggering 1,625 hp when running on eco-conscious E85. That explosive output is harnessed through Koenigsegg’s innovative, clutch-by-wire Light Speed Transmission (LST), a system so advanced it operates without a flywheel, enabling near-instantaneous gear shifts that redefine driver connection.

🏁 Track-Dominant Aero, Road-Legal Drama

Aerodynamics are where the Spear earns its track-focused badge. At the rear, a top-mounted, dual-blade active wingdynamically adjusts to optimize downforce. Up front, the car features larger carbon canards, revised hood vents, and reworked wheel arch louvres—a symphony of airflow manipulation designed to increase cooling efficiency while pinning the car to the tarmac.

This isn’t just aggressive design. It’s a functional ballet of wind and carbon born from lessons on the circuit.

🧨 Minimalist Cockpit, Maximum Focus

Inside, the Sadair’s Spear strips away distraction. A new lightweight carbon center console, refined bucket-style seats, and optional 6-point racing harnesses signal its no-compromise intent. Yet despite the motorsport leanings, the cabin doesn’t abandon modern luxuries: inductive phone charging, parking assist, and digital instrumentation are present—because even gods of speed might need to parallel park.

🐎 Legacy in Motion

Sadair’s Spear isn’t just a new addition to Koenigsegg’s ultra-limited family—it’s a time capsule in carbon fiber, commemorating a lesser-known chapter in Christian von Koenigsegg’s life before horsepower meant pistons. The name is more than symbolic. It’s ancestral—a tribute not just to speed, but to the pursuit of it, whether in the saddle or behind the wheel.
