Is a Koenigsegg Jesko faster than a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport in a straight line? Well, considering both hypercars cost at least $3-million USD direct from the factory, seeing them on any track is a rare sight, but Mat Watson of CarWow managed to set up a drag racing showdown between the two in Abu Dhabi.
First up, the 3,130 pound Koenigsegg Jesko draws power from a twin-turbocharged 5.0L V8 engine that makes 1,280 horsepower on gasoline or 1,600 horsepower on E85 and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 9-speed, multi-clutch transmission. Next, the 4,398 pound Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is powered by a 16-cylinder, 8.0-liter, quad-turbocharged W-16 engine producing 1,578 hp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

That high speed active aero on the Jesko looks wild, spoiler tilting like crazy.. and keeping up with 1600hp whilst running on 1280 is mad,” said one commenter.
