Bugatti Divo vs Koenigsegg Jesko: DRAG RACE

This video was movie in December 2025.

We 'd like to state a huge thank you to the Abu Dhabi government, Al Ain Municipality () and Tilal Swaihan () for providing the incredible drag strip, developed to the greatest requirements to make sure safe racing and automobile showing far from the general public roadways.

Thanks, too, go to Super Cars Majlis () for welcoming its fantastic members along and offering the vehicles you see in our videos, and Student of Fate for its support ().

Also, a huge thanks goes to Ryan Griffiths at Syvecs () for his big aid in organising these races!

A couple of months back, Mat and the team flew over to Dubai to arrange a whole load of insane drag races. They only had two days to find the best automobiles, organise the races, and encourage the owners that this was really a great concept! With this in mind, it's time to go behind the scenes to see exactly what occurs when the Carwow
team attempt to establish a load of hypercar drag races on another continent! From the showroom at Pupil of Fate Motors to the insane Tilal Swaihan drag strip in Abu Dhabi, the pressure was on. The group had to manage a convoy of 23 trucks and a massive collection of hypercars, all while hoping the owners would actually let Mat and Sam support the wheel. Picture owning a ₤ 10,000,000 hypercar and letting someone else assailed it down a drag strip!!! Thankfully, everything paid off! We finally settled the"incorrect Jesko"dispute with a rematch between the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut(working on E85 for 1,600 hp )and the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Plus, we staged a fight of the W16 engines in between the Super Sport and the ultra-rare Bugatti Divo. However that's not all! We likewise hit the track with a load of other cars and trucks, including a Ferrari SF90 XX, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, Koenigsegg Regera, Ferrari Purosangue, and the definitely gigantic Yangwang U8! It was total mayhem, from overheating transmissions to lacking high-octane fuel, however we managed to movie some of the best drag races we have actually ever run! Stick with Mat and the group to see what occurred on the shoot!

      Carwow is not the same carwow like before. 1st they removed side by side stats. Then I miss the simple starting with the sound test, drag race, rolling race. After that brake test. They are just completely random now. Starts with a rolling or brake test. They don’t care about the subscribers anymore.

    This department of Carwow is closing in on the type of reach that peak Top Gear had, where they can just go anywhere and things can be arranged through pure love for car enthusiasts without bias.

      When all your cars are like these you get used to it and stop caring too much. It is not like you have saving money all your life to buy one car and then keep it like gem.

      @mn4mn33 right! the jealousy across the comments is pitiful and is a clear reflection of what is wrong with society. How about we appreciate what humans have been able to do, just the fact these cars exist is a celebration of that and we should appreciate it.

    How crazy is it that a channel that was only ever meant to be publicity for a website for people to sell their normal family cars is now putting on the greatest drag races on the planet.

      The channel lost it’s face. They should do a separate channel where they make only car reviews. Those drag races with cars worth more than 20 years median salary are ridiculous.

      @jackcostello2016 A Chinese fridge falling from a balcony is even faster. I still don’t care. But I understand they pay a lot of money to dump their overproduction in the West. Without this their whole EV economy goes bankrupt.

      Definitely YES and why shouldn’t they be ignoring rebodied and overpriced Murcielago’s and Aventador’s when they have proper hypercars in their vicinity?! It’s a no brainer to ignore such cars.
