Bugatti Chiron Super Sport and Koenigsegg Jesko Attack head-to-head at 1/4 mile

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport and the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack are high-performance supercars that are the pride of their manufacturers. However, if you were wondering who is faster in the 1/4 mile, the guys at CarWow have the answer. They put these two cars on the line and created a fierce battle.

The Koenigsegg Jesko Attack is powered by a 5.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 1,280hp (1,600hp on E85) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque, paired with a 9-speed Light Speed ​​Transmission (LST) that sends power to the rear wheels. That’s enough to propel the 1,420-pound car to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.3 seconds.

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport has a bit more power than its rival. It is powered by an 8.0-L quad-turbo W16 engine with 1,600 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque with launch control, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all four wheels. It weighs 1,995 kilograms.

In the first race, the Chiron Super Sport flew like a rocket through the 1/4 mile, leaving the Jesko Attack far behind. The reason for the Jesko Attack’s bad start was a problem with the traction control, so they repeated the race. In the second attempt, the Jesko Attack was much better and kept up with the Chiron Super Sport, but in the photo finish, the Bugatti was still faster.

In the rolling race starting at 10 mph, the Jesko Attack had a better start, but after a few seconds the Bugatti’s power came to the fore. It crossed the 1/4 mile line first and continued to increase its lead to the finish (1/2 mile).

In the race starting at 100 km/h in third gear, the Jesko Attack did what the Bugatti did in the first race. It took off like a rocket and maintained its lead until the finish (1/2 mile). In the braking test at 150 km/h, the Bugatti was better.

In this battle, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport was the winner, but it should be noted that the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack did not use E85 fuel, which increases its power to 1,600 hp.

This is the sound of the Bugatti Tourbillon’s engine

In June 2024, Bugatti unveiled its first completely new Bugatti in the last 20 years, the Bugatti Tourbillon. It is a powerful car that the company, which is owned by the Rimac Group, is entering a new era. Its engine sound leaves you speechless.

Mate Rimac posted a video on his Instagram profile with the caption: “What a car… What a car! I don’t think we understand what we have built yet. This will be one for the history books. Here’s to the team! Keep pushing – the world is waiting.”

The car in the video is a prototype covered in camouflage, and Rimac also said that this is how the production car will sound, and that he hopes to keep it without soft limiters.

The Bugatti Tourbillon is powered by a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter cross-plane V-16 engine with 986 hp (735 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque combined with three electric motors (789 hp/ 588 kW) with a total power of 1,775 hp (1,324 kW). The new engine allows the hypercar to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in two seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in less than 5 seconds, while the speed of 300 km/h (186 mph) reaches in less than 10 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 446 km/h (277 mph).

First Bugatti Bolide delivered to customer

In October 2020, Bugatti unveiled a very powerful two-seater based on the Chiron model, the Bugatti Bolide. Many believed that the concept would never go into production, but just a year later, Bugatti announced that it would produce 40 units. A few days ago, the first cars were delivered to customers in the United States.

One of the examples is finished in black with contrasting blue details on the front splitter, roof, rear fenders, aerodynamic fin and the sides of the large rear wing. The owner of this car is collector and real estate dealer Manny Khoshbin, who took his Bolide from Bugatti Newport Beach.

The second Bolide in the photos is finished in a combination of black and blue, and after taking it over, the owner tested it on the Circuit of the Americas track in Texas.

Speaking of design, the X-shaped lights at the front and rear make the car look straight out of a Sci-Fi movie. It’s only 995 millimeters (39.1 inches) tall and sits on a super-light and super-stiff carbonfibre monocoque. Carbon fiber is also used in the front end and underbody, and Bugatti claims that the tensile strength of carbon fiber is equal to that used in the aerospace industry. The suspension is made of titanium pushrods with horizontal shock absorbers, while welded stainless steel controls are designed as wing profiles.

It is powered by a turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine with 1,578 hp (1,160 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. That’s slightly less than the base concept model which has 1,825 hp and 1,365 lb-ft of torque. It also weighs 462 lb (210 kg) less than the base model, which weighs 3,200 lb (1,451 kg).
