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.

Drag race: Tesla Cybertruck v F-150 Raptor R v Lamborghini Urus

Drag racing has been popular for a long time, but lately there are more and more powerful new production cars competing. One such “fight” was organized by the guys from the YouTube channel Carwow, putting the Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 Raptor R and Lamborghini Urus on the line.

Although the Tesla Cybertruck looks weird at first glance, it is a really powerful car. It is offered in three versions of the powertrain, and the most powerful has three electric motors with a total power of 845 hp (630 kW) and 686 lb-ft (930 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph).

The Lamborghini Urus is a powerful sports SUV powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive it reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph).

The Ford F-150 Raptor R is a powerful pickup powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine with 700 hp (522 kW) and 640 lb-ft (868 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in about 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 114 mph (183 km/h). Power is sent to all wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Cybertruck vs Urus

At the standard 1/4 mile, on the newly constructed road next to Tesla’s GigaFactory, the Lamborghini Urus stood no chance against the Cybertruck. In every race, the Tesla car was too fast for the Urus, even though the drivers switched cars. The Tesla Cybertruck covered the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds, while the Lamborghini took 12.3 seconds.

From 30 mph, over the same distance, the Tesla was again unbeatable. As well as from 40 mph, even when the Urus started one second before the Cybertruck. Braking was the advantage of the Urus. From 70 mph the Urus managed to stop in a shorter distance than the Cybertruck which needed a few more meters even though it was using mud tires.

Cyberturk vs Ford F-150 Raptor R

At the standard 1/4 mile, the Cybertruck showed its power and left the F-150 Raptor R far behind. The Raptor R was in line with the Tesla in the first ten meters, but after that it had no chance. The Tesla Cybertruck covered the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds while the F-150 Raptor R took 12.4 seconds. From 20 mph, the Tesla was far faster than the Raptor R. From 70 mph, the Tesla managed to stop in a shorter distance than the F-150 Raptor R, which needed 20 meters more.

Tesla Cybertruck has shown that it is a very good car, but also why over 2 million units have been ordered so far.

The car has a fully built engine, fully built gearbox, fuel system, drive shafts, clutches, differential, turbos, etc.

In the first 1/4 mile race, Nevera had a better start and finish, crossing the finish line first. In the second attempt, the Huracan had a better start, but the Nevera was still faster. And the third attempt was also unsuccessful for the Lamborghini Huracan. A good start, but the time of 8.7 seconds was insufficient. Rimac nevera covered the 1/4 mile in 8.5 seconds.

In the 1/2 mile race at 30 mph, the Lamborghini held on well for most of the race but still not enough to cross the finish line first. In the race at 50 mph, Nevera was much faster. In the brake test at 100mph, the Huracan finally did better.

Although we expected better results from the Lamborghini Huracan, the Rimac Nevera showed why it is one of the fastest cars in the world.
