Step-by-Step Challenge Walkthrough
Step 1: Secure the Crown Jewel
The first step is simple: hop into the 2024 Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut. If you don’t own it yet, it’s currently available in the Autoshow for 2,800,000 Credits. Once you’re behind the wheel, drive a short distance in Free Roam to trigger the completion of Chapter 1.
Step 2: Break the Sound Barrier
Head over to the Neon Touge or the main highway Speed Trap. To earn 3 stars, you’ll need to clear the trap at roughly 300+ mph. If you’re struggling, check out our Forza Horizon 6 car list and tuning guide for a max-downforce setup that keeps the Jesko glued to the road.
Step 3: Win on the Mean Streets
Filter your map for Street Scene events. You must win the race on Expert difficulty or higher. Pro-tip: Use a RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive) tune to maximize your launch off the line, as the AI in FH6 is notoriously aggressive in the first 20% of the race.
Step 4: Ultimate Velocity
The final task requires 3 “Ultimate Speed” skills. The best place for this is the Abandoned Airfield or the main Highway. Simply hold your speed above 250 mph for several seconds to trigger the skill. Do this three times to officially become the King of the Road!

FAQs
What if I can’t afford the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut?
You can occasionally find it at a discount in the Auction House, or you can earn it as a reward by reaching Tier 20 in the current Seasonal Progression.
Do I need a specific tune to complete the Speed Trap task?
While the stock Jesko is fast, an S2-998 or X-Class “Speed Grip” tune is highly recommended to ensure you hit the 3-star speed requirement with ease.
