Andrew Tate's Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Breaks Down In Traffic
Read the full story on Backfire News
Controversial figure Andrew Tate owns quite the car collection, but his recent ordeal with his ultra-expensive Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut shows not everything is roses for the guy. After he fled Romania when he had the chance, like a dog with its tail between its legs, the guy has faced adversity here in the US, including his Swedish hypercar failing in the middle of traffic.We have no idea why the Jesko Absolut broke down, but people on the internet have commented on the video with all kinds of theories. They range from the Koenigsegg being a piece of junk to Tate being a dumb piece of trash and everything in between.
While we can't weigh in on whether the car suffered a genuine malfunction or if this was user error, we do find one thing odd. In the footage shared to Facebook, we can't see the hypercar's hazard lights activated.
That's weird because the Koenigsegg appears to be sitting in a lane of travel at an intersection. Did Tate just forget to activate the hazards or did the malfunction render them inoperable? It's a great question we unfortunately can't answer.
It's not like Tate's volunteering information, either. Curiously, there doesn't appear to be any statement made on his social media accounts about the 'L' moment, which is funny since the guy talks about how all he does is win.
Instead, in the video we see him walking away from the $4 million Swedish hypercar while starting at his phone like some screentime-obsessed 16-year-old boy. After all, the guy has more supercars and hypercars to play with and he has a packed schedule of telling teenage boys how to be even more self-centered and shallow.
Life sure is magical for Tate, who obviously only wins all the time. Here's to hoping the Jesko Absolut isn't too broken.

Jet-Set CEO's $3M Koenigsegg Jesko Ticketed in London While Dining Nearby
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A £2.2 million Koenigsegg Jesko hypercar, owned by private jet mogul Ameerh Naran, was slapped with a parking ticket this week after being left on a Kensington street while its owner dined nearby. Naran, the CEO of luxury aviation brokerage Vimana Private Jets, parked the ultra-rare Swedish hypercar on Derry Street, just outside the trendy Dishoom restaurant in West London. Moments later, a Kensington and Chelsea traffic warden issued a bright yellow parking charge notice (PCN), placing it squarely on the carbon-fiber bonnet of the car—an image quickly shared online. With a fine of up to £160 (reduced to £80 if paid within two weeks), the penalty is a small price to pay compared to the Jesko's jaw-dropping $3 million valuation. Powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8, the Jesko produces 1,280 horsepower on standard fuel—or up to 1,600 hp on E85—and is capable of reaching 62 mph in under three seconds. According to his Instagram posts, Naran, 39, was enjoying lunch at the nearby Rooftop Gardens while the parking incident unfolded. Originally from Zimbabwe, the entrepreneur built his jet charter empire after studying automotive design, and later launched his own hypercar company, Naran Automotive. Despite his aviation focus, cars have remained central to Naran's identity. A former aspiring racing driver, he once told Forbes that he dreamed of building supercars since childhood. His clients—ranging from royals to ultra-high-net-worth individuals—spend up to $1 million a month on private travel, and often shop at elite brands like Harrods, Ferrara Diamonds, and Asprey London. This isn't the first luxury car to run afoul of Derry Street's strict parking rules. Comedian Michael McIntyre had his £195,000 Mercedes-AMG GT R towed from the same location in May after parking in a police-only zone. In a city where even multi-million-dollar cars can't escape traffic enforcement, it seems not even the most elite wheels are above the rules. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Disneyland Autotopia Car Crashes Off The Track
Read the full story on Backfire News One of the cars at the Disneyland Autotopia ride in Anaheim, California went off the track, crashing in the dirt and foliage. We've been on the ride ourselves many times and never imagined such a thing was even possible with all the guardrails and such, but there are photos and video to prove it Disney and theme park aficionado Laughing Place posted the photos and video of the crash aftermath to X. While he was just as shocked as we were, he did note it didn't appear anyone was injured in the freak incident, which is a good thing. After all, we can't have any tragedies in the happiest place on earth, right? While we would think this is a first in the ride's 70 year history, it's apparently not even close. Another X user called The Infernoman who claims to have been at one point a trainer and working lead for the Autotopia ride confirmed this sort of thing has happened in the past. Saying it was 'very rare,' the guy said he has seen a car go completely off the tracks in the past, noting the off-road part of the ride is where it's most likely to occur. He goes on to explain that if one of the cars is hit hard from behind in the area where you make a U-turn, it could in fact get knocked off the track. That might be why workers at the ride emphasize not ramming into the back of the car in front of you. The ride was immediately shut down and everyone in the cars had to get out and walk to the exit with help from employees. Disneyland had the ride up and running again soon after the incident, so whatever happened it must have been an easy fix. Just remember next time you go on Autotopia to not ram into your friends or family members driving right in front of you. Image via laughing_place/X
