For the Koenigsegg from OG Seasons 1 and 2, see Torpedo.
The Javelin is a limited-time vehicle in Jailbreak. Released on November 4th, 2022, it was featured as the fifth and final vehicle of the 5 Days of Vehicles Update and was only available to obtain for 48 hours. It was modeled by oof_ed.[2]
The Javelin was seen in front of the 1M Dealership when it was still available for purchase. As it has now gone off-sale, the only way to obtain it is through trading.
The Javelin has the fourth-highest top speed among land vehicles, and the fifth-highest top speed of all vehicles, only bested by the Torpedo, Brulee, Scorpion, and the Jet Ski.
Overview
The Javelin is a two-seater hypercar based on the Koenigsegg Jesko. It was modeled by oof_ed. With clean topology, smooth curves and small details like a shifter, air conditioners and cup holders in the interior, it is among the most detailed models in the game. Oddly enough, unlike the Snake, the Javelin lacks an animated airbrake, contrary to its real-life counterpart. It does, however, have animated doors and windows. The windows automatically roll up when a player enters the driver seat, and roll down when the player exits the driver seat. The vehicle also has a visible engine bay.
Performance
The Javelin is among the best-performing hypercars in the game. With a phenomenal top speed and reverse speed, quick launch and acceleration, incredible handling and off-roading capabilities, as well as decent brakes, the vehicle outperforms most land vehicles in the game. It beats every car on the main map in-game, even the Torpedo & Brulee despite those cars having higher top speeds. It is only bested by the Roadster, Volt, Proto-08, & Stormrider in short distances, and only beaten by Scorpion in long distances. It as well can compete with Concept, Aperture & Eclaire. The Javelin can reach 60 MPH in 0.84 seconds, 120 MPH in 2.82 seconds, 240 MPH in 12.42 seconds and 300 MPH in 21.55 seconds. Moreover, it has a turning speed of 1.54, a 10% increase over most other vehicles, which have turning speeds of 1.4.
The Javelin has the ability to climb steep slopes, like the Snake, Beignet and the Torero. For example, it can climb up the Museum hill without using roads, which is convenient for escaping from police officers or chasing down criminals.

| The launch speed is amazing. It can reach 70 MPH in one second, which is slightly better than the Airtail and Eclaire. | The Javelin's acceleration is very quick, being better than the Torpedo (up to 240 MPH), and comparable to the Eclaire. It takes 8 seconds to reach 200+ MPH and 14-15 seconds to reach 270 MPH. It is slightly worse then Aperture and Concept. |
| Handling
|
Off-roading
  |
| With a fast turning speed and sharp turning radius of 1.54, the Javelin is very easy to handle. It is still controllable at speeds as high as 280 MPH, though less so at speeds over 300 MPH. Its handling ability is only beaten by a few vehicles, like the Parisian and Bloxy. | The off-roading capabilities of the Javelin are good, being able to climb hills, but struggling to pass train tracks without monster suspension. |
| Braking
|
Durability
  |
| It takes around 1.5 seconds to stop at almost any speed, including speeds as high as 300 MPH, which is pretty impressive. Comparable to the Torpedo. | The Javelin has 75 HP and a disable duration on 7.5 seconds, which is below average. It is comparable to cars like the Concept and Torpedo. |

Trivia
- There is an image of the combination of Shrek and the Grinch's head (he refers to it as the Shrinch) behind the driver seat of the Javelin, which is a reference to oof_ed's twitter profile picture.
- This is the same for vehicles like the Jackrabbit and the Snake, also modeled by oof_ed.
- This vehicle has the shortest obtainability period of any Jailbreak vehicle to date, with an availability of only 2 days, beating even the 6-day-availability of the Agent by 4 days.
- This is the first vehicle with carbon fiber parts, confirmed in a tweet by asimo3089.[3]
- The vehicle's name, having no connection to Koenigsegg, is likely a reference to either the javelin spear or the anti-tank missile system known as the Javelin, in a similar fashion to another in-game Koenigsegg - the Torpedo - which is named after a type of underwater missile.
- Unlike the real-life counterpart of this vehicle, the animated doors on The Javelin sweep directly upwards at a 90-degree angle, as opposed to dihedral synchro-helix doors typically swinging outwards towards the side of the fender as the angle of the door swings upwards.
- Due to this, the Javelin's doors appear to merge into the fender in the open position. This is probably due to the Javelin lacking hinges so making its doors swing outwards would make them look like they are levitating in the air.
- This is the only vehicle with its price tag not being a round number. Instead, the price ends in 929.
- The carbon texture on the Javelin body was accidentally deleted on February 12, 2023.
- It returned 5 days later, on February 17, 2023.
