It's lastly taken place … We have actually got our hands on a Koenigsegg for a carwow drag race!!

We've got Mat lining up in the Koenigsegg RST, and he's about to go head-to-head versus a Tesla Design S PLAID and a supercharged Suzuki Hayabusa!

So let's see how these three beasts compare, and naturally, we have actually got to start with the Koenigsegg! It's powered by an amazing 5-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers an eye-watering 1,360 kg and 1,573 Nm of torque. It's equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and sends all of its power to the rear wheels. It's likewise incredibly light, tipping the scales at 1,395 kg, and it's easily the most expensive automobile Mat has ever drag-raced, with an approximated value of β‚€ 3,500,000!!

Along with it, we have the Tesla . It's geared up with three motors, and they integrate to put down 1,020 hp and 1,420 Nm, with all of this power being sent out to all 4 wheels. Naturally, being electrical, it's weighed down a bit by the batteries and motors, and as an outcome, it weighs in at 2,190 kg.

Then finally we have the Hayabusa. However this is no usual Suzuki Hayabusa! It's had a supercharger fitted to it, and as an outcome, its 1.3-litre 4-cylinder engine produces 385hp and 280Nm of torque! This power is sent out to the rear wheels, and naturally, it's oh-so light, weighing in at 257kg.

So how will this one play out – will the electric power of the Tesla move it to triumph? Or will either the Koenigsegg or Hayabusa sneak it? There's just one way to discover … LET'S RACE!

Mat's quickest 1/4-mile EVER:

      Please dont use assetto fiorano pack sf90 or 296gtb in drag races,because of too much downforce and fixed multimatic dampers from race car category; these track focused ferraris are not good for straight line drag racing and hard accelerations; instead use regular sf90 and 296 gtb

      Tbf it’s not completely unexpected, they’ve gotten an F1 car, Rimac, Bugattis etc on here in the past but a Koenigsegg was still sick to see

      @SmallPercs It would be amazing if Matt would have driven the Chiron alone, without the other guy.

    The most epic bike race on the channel – insane for it to win the drag race but sadly disappointed for not running another rolling race… sometimes things like this don’t make sense…. But still happy for an epic race πŸŽ‰

      I dunno man I think he’s babying it. Stock 1000 be just as fast with a fast rider on it in fact way faster on the 50 roll. The busa should be gone

      @markhopton1531Β  that’s the problem with most of these races. Ppl have no idea how fast a turbod bike is with someone who can extract the performance its totally different level

      Not true mate if the rider was very skilled the busa would be far gone. He’s got balls to ride that thing though

      @MrLeeson660 I agree and see what you mean, that rear tire and swing arm should have been stretched and he would have won every time.

    This was the most enjoyable race
    First we have Yianni and Mat together
    Then we have Mat in an Agera
    Then we have a supercharged busa
    Just some more rolling races would’ve been better but still the most enjoyable

    That Hayabusa definitely needed a 2nd rolling race.

      Thought exactly the same. Not saying it would have won but definitely a delayed reaction at the start

      You think 2nd gear for the Hayabusa puts it at a disadvantage? Not sure how it’s geared.

      @Liquidatedraccoon It will do almost 100mph in first on stock gearing

    If you consider 911 turbo S time, the Koenigsegg would’ve lost the drag race (with 2x power). That’s insane!
