I am not a fan of the colour. 

[XTN]

At the front there are standard rims with six double spokes, at the back there is a print with five spokes... Seriously?

[Zerobricks]

There's a 12 tooth door next to the door - I suspect an opening mechanism?

[Jurss]

Pretty OK for the scale.

I agree that detail is horrifying in my opinion

Or working steering wheel?

No, it's directly connected to the door's axle

For small cars enthusiasts I hope you are right Mr. kitty.

I like that shorter mudguard panel

And it has finally a differential

Maybe to ensure it stays open?

Can be, or to rotate while pulling out the door.

That looks like a nice DBG parts pack! It does not even look bad for the scale (in itself, don't know how it compares to the real one), the panels cover nicely without holes, and it's a good mix of studless/studful parts.

The real car has wheel covers only on the rear wheels. Still looks somewhat weird.

Yes, most likely.
There is a mechanism like that on RB already, in three different sizes, I just can't find it anymore, only have the lxf files resting on my pc.

I agree with every point, except for the count of system bricks, imho there are to many of these.
Mb the Jesko just isn't the perfect car for resembling it in Technic in that scale.
But as a generic supercar or hypercar it looks fine (not the headlight stickers!) and the parts are promising for alts or mods. I already think of using a bunch of the panels for a generic supercar in Mack scale, using tires like in 42165.

The front box art isn't presenting the most flattering angle, but it sure looks great in the other images. Certainly more appealing than last year's Huracan, and about time we got a differential. Was this model also going to be re-released later this year in white?

Could have done better at the frond but Im a fan of the rear

Better aero on the rear, but still good cooling for the higher braking loads in the front, I guess? Sounds smart

[dhc6twinotter]

Not a bad set.  From what I’ve seen thus far, this might be the only 2024 set I buy.

IS it confirmed that a white version will come later??

[msk6003]

For me, this set is MUCH better than huracan. At least I can see koenigsegg from this set. Unlike stupidly ugly huracan.

Based on the set photos, I tried to recreate what I believe the mechanism will look like. It allows the door rotate 90° by sweeping outward and upward at the hinge.

 Hats off, well done! I wouldn't have figured it out myself..

Brilliant reverse engineering and ofc a very good design by the designer! It's nice to see additional value and functionality even in such small models.

EDIT. Does Jesko use the shorter version of the 3x19 frame? I think a normal 19 stud long frame would collide with the door mechanism.
