We’ve just hit 10 million subscribers on YouTube, and we’re celebrating with the one you’ve all been waiting for… Bugatti vs Koenigsegg Carwow drag race!
Mat and the team have flown out to Dubai to get their hands on these awesome hypercars, and they’re about to go head-to-head as they race over the quarter-mile for the chequered flag. But which will come out on top? Let’s take a closer look at the stats.
Starting with the Bugatti, it’s the Chiron Super Sport, which comes with an 8-litre quad-turbo W16 that produces 1600hp and 1600Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and the car weighs 1,995kg. Following several interior & exterior modifications, the car we have here is valued at £5,000,000.
Alongside it, we have the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack. This is powered by a 5-litre twin-turbo V8, and this creates 1280hp and 1000Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 9-speed multi-clutch gearbox, and it weighs a whole lot less than the Bugatti, tipping the scales at just 1,420kg! But just like the Chiron Super Sport, it has a price tag of £5,000,000.
So the Bugatti is well up on power, but it weighs half a tonne more than the Koenigsegg! Could the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
