What happens when two of the fastest hypercars in the world go head-to-head in a drag race? We take the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport and the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack to the track to find out.

Meet the Contenders

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport boasts an 8.0L quad-turbo W16 engine, producing a staggering 1,600 horsepower and 1,600 Nm of torque. With an all-wheel-drive system and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, it rockets from 0-100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds. The price? A whopping £5 million.

On the other side, the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack is powered by a 5.0L twin-turbo V8, churning out 1,280 horsepower (or up to 1,600 hp with E85 fuel) and 1,000 Nm of torque. Unlike the Chiron, it has a rear-wheel-drive setup and a 9-speed multi-clutch automatic gearbox. At just 1,420 kg, it’s significantly lighter than the Chiron.

The Drag Race Showdown

We put these two monsters to the test on the track. As expected, the Bugatti’s all-wheel-drive system gave it an early traction advantage, but the Jesko's lower weight and superior aerodynamics helped it catch up in the rolling race.

The Results

• Standing quarter-mile: Bugatti Chiron won by a narrow margin.
• Rolling race: Koenigsegg Jesko dominated after gaining traction.
• Brake test: Bugatti Chiron stopped in a shorter distance, winning the test.

Both hypercars delivered jaw-dropping performances, proving their status as engineering masterpieces. Whether you're a fan of the brute force of the Bugatti or the high-tech finesse of the Jesko, one thing is certain—this was one of the closest and most exciting drag races ever!
