• A Koenigsegg Jesko Attack burned to the ground in Greece just weeks after delivery.
  • Today, the event triggered a stop-driving order for 28 cars from the automaker itself.
  • He investigates what caused the fire and what, if anything, he should do to make sure others don’t suffer the same fate.

Supercars and hypercars alone attract a lot of attention. Collect several of them and they will turn even more heads. Set one on fire and the whole world will know. This is what happened recently in Greece and it caused shock waves in the Koenigsegg community.

The incident occurred on June 15 at around 10 a.m. local time during an event dubbed “6to6 Europe Tour 2024.” It included several supercars, but few of them were as customized as the Jesko Attack in question. Called the Jesko NÜR Edition, it leaves the factory with bare carbon fiber and gold inlays on the exterior.

As of this writing, it is unclear what caused the fire, but both occupants safely got out of the car before it burned. Video evidence of the fire itself and its aftermath shows the damage that resulted. Even the most discerning car enthusiast might have trouble determining exactly what it once was. Parts of the rear X-brace are still visible, as is the exhaust tip, but almost nothing else remains.

According to EggRegistry, one of its members forwarded a message from Koenigsegg to the 28 Jesko owners. “Out of an abundance of caution, we ask all Jesko owners and drivers not to drive their cars until we have had the opportunity to better understand the situation,” it reads. Obviously, the automaker does not yet know the reason for the fire.

There is no doubt that he is resolving this issue and will inform owners of his findings in due course. Until then, Jesko owners will just have to take their Bugatti thresher wherever they need to go. In reality, the cause could be unrelated to other cars or even related to the delivery mileage still present on the car in question.

According to witnesses, the driver was not really monitoring the car despite the high temperatures in the area and again, very few miles on the vehicle itself.
