Every car that leaves Koenigsegg’s factory in Ängelholm, Sweden is special but these three are more remarkable than most as they are the only cars that the firm has ever built with the full Koenigsegg Naked Carbon (KNC) finish.
The hypercar manufacturer spent several years developing its naked carbon fiber finish and it is unlike any other on the market. You see, whereas there are other car manufacturers that offer their vehicles with carbon fiber finishes, Koenisegg’s offering is special because the thin layer of epoxy used in the production of carbon fiber has to be sanded off each panel by hand to give the carbon its unique ‘naked’ look.
Koenigsegg created its first full naked carbon fiber car in late 2018 with a Regera and since then, has built both a One:1 and a Jesko with the same finish. Recently, all three were gathered together for an epic photoshoot.

Starting with the Jesko, it is the track-focused version known as the Attack. It has a keen focus on maximizing downforce and this is most evident with the huge rear wing that is seamlessly connected to the central shark fin. The owner of this Jesko also opted to have some parts given a bright red finish, including the badges, brake calipers, and the lower section of the wing mirrors.
Then there is the Koenigsegg One:1. For some time, it was the brand’s flagship, building upon the Agera R with more aero-focused parts, extra carbon fiber, and alterations to the 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that increased grunt to 1,341 hp at 7,500 rpm and 1,011 lb-ft (1,371 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm. Working alongside this engine is a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that drives the rear wheels.
