With a starting price of $3 million, the Koenigsegg Jesko is a hypercar built only for the very elite. But a group of ragtag automotive builders in Vietnam have created their own replica of the Swedish masterpiece to the tune of just $100. No, that number isn't missing any zeros.The team used a plain Toyota Corona's chassis, powertrain, and drivetrain for this creation. Yes, that means the Jesko replica won't be going anywhere near 250 mph. Instead, this thing has about 160-horsepower on tap. But let's be honest: almost no Jesko will ever be pushed anywhere near its performance limits.
YouTube channel NHET TV documents the efforts of these builders, who are known for creating replicas of supercars and hypercars from scratch on tight budgets.
That body you see is custom made out of fiberglass, taking the Vietnamese team a year to fabricate. They poured considerable effort into the work, but it looks pretty good, especially at a distance. While nobody who knows the Jesko well will be fooled, you can't help but be impressed by the results.
After all, the active rear spoiler and dihedral doors function just like on a real Koenigsegg. A lot of fabricators would be pulling their hair out trying to figure those parts of the hypercar out, but these guys nailed it.
You'll note the interior isn't anything like a real Koenigsegg Jesko. It's no wonder why, considering the real thing is loaded with expensive materials like carbon fiber. That said, the team does get the seats and center console shockingly close to the real thing, just like the body.
Watch the video and you'll see these guys are having the time of their life fabricating their own budget Koenigsegg Jesko. Can you really blame them? They have some serious skills and seem to love what they do.
