Geneva (CNN) Swedish automaker Koenigsegg claims its recently unveiled Jesko supercar should be able to achieve speeds of 300 miles per hour. While the company hasn't been able to prove it yet, if true, that would make the Koenigsegg Jesko the fastest street legal production car in the world — by a wide margin. The starting price for the Jesko, which Koenigsegg unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this week, is roughly $2.8 million. The car is named for the father of Koenigsegg's founder and CEO Christian von Koenigsegg. Christian credits Jesko von Koenigsegg, now in his 80s, with supporting the company, both financially and with his business acumen, in its early years.
