YouTube, and we're commemorating with the one you've all been awaiting … vs Carwow drag race! Mat and the group have flown out to Dubai to get their hands on these remarkable hypercars, and they're about to go head-to-head as they race over the quarter-mile for the chequered flag. But which will triumph? Let's take a more detailed look at the stats. Beginning with the , it's the , which comes with an 8-litre quad-turbo W16 that produces 1600hp and 1600Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels by means of a 7-speed dual-clutch automated gearbox, and the cars and truck weighs 1,995 kg. Following numerous interior & outside adjustments, the car we have here is valued at ₤ 5,000,000. Together with it, we have the Attack.

This is powered by a 5-litre twin-turbo V8, and this develops 1280hp and 1000Nm. This power is sent out to the rear wheels just through a 9-speed multi-clutch gearbox, and it weighs a lot less than the Bugatti, tipping the scales at simply 1,420 kg! But similar to the , it has a price tag of ₤ 5,000,000. So the Bugatti is well up on power, however it weighs half a tonne more than the Koenigsegg! Could the weight difference prove definitive? There's only one method to find out for sure … LET'S RACE! Mat's sports car option: Red Bull F1 Automobile v McMurtry Spéirling v Rimac Nevera: Modification your cars and truck with Carwow:

      The second drag race is fake. The jesko is rear wheel drive, and is in sandy condition yet pulls a 9.6? The agera from a previous video did a 10.4 with 1250 hp and this with 1280 and worse conditions does 9.6?
      The next thing is that the jesko’s wing is in high downforce mode at the end of the drag race, which only happens when the car is slowing down… to be put simply, they engineered a photo finish…

      @@scammmer-ze9sd Fixed-wing downforce, or any car that has a wing relative to the size of the one on the Jesko, won’t aerodynamically come into play until that 155-160mph mark. You have to remember the Jesko is lighter and more aero efficient than the Chiron. Plus. The Agera RS and the Jesko are not the same car. Christian said himself the Jesko is practically a brand new car in comparison. Which means the engine, drivetrain, suspension and electronics are all brand new and will be more effective, obviously. And no other Koenigsegg bar the CC850 and Absolut, and I think the Gemera, have that new gearbox.

      @UzairW

      Exactly! In fact I strongly believe the quarter mile drag race and 0 to 100 km/h tests are outdated. Modern cars have so much power the majority of them are traction-limited, and why even the 1000+ HP Koenigseggs will have similar 0 to 100 times as a tuned BMW or Audi that costs a hundredth. For horsepower monsters I believe 0 to 200 and even 0 to 300 would be much better tests.
