Bugatti Chiron Vs 2,000-HP Nissan GT-R Drag Race Isn't Even Close (2024)

FAQs

Can Nissan GTR beat Bugatti Chiron? ›

The built GT-R absolutely destroyed the Chiron right off the starting line. It wasn't even close and it made the French supercar look so slow despite completing the sprint even quicker than before at 10.02 seconds. In fact, the tuned GT-R clocked in 8.94 seconds for the quarter-mile.

SSC Tuatara – 295mph

While the Bugatti Chiron's complicated W16 engine is mightily impressive, sometimes you just can't beat a whopping great V8 with a couple of turbos strapped to it.

The top speed of a Bugatti is quite a lot higher than an F1 car, so if you just set off and go in a straight line, the F1 car will out accelerate the Bugatti, but eventually the Bugattis top speed would overcome the F1 car.

During a test in the Nevada desert, the Koenigsegg Agera RS hypercar produced an average speed of 277.9mph - beating the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport's record of 268mph, set in 2010.

Advantages of the Aventador

Those advantages are then given a more visible representation in the second half of the table, which shows the Aventador can hit 60 miles per hour 0.2 seconds faster than the GT-R and run the quarter mile 0.6 s faster. In other words, the Aventador blows the GT-R out of the water.

1. Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut—330 mph (Claimed) The Swedish manufacturer's 5.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine is mated to a novel Light Speed gearbox that can handle its prodigious output, which can reach 1,600 hp when running on E85 biofuel.

It was a similar story in the next head-to-head, a half-mile race starting at 50 mph. The Tesla pulled away quicker initially, but at high speeds, it's no match for the Bugatti, which ripped from 120 mph to 210 mph without breaking a sweat. It's wild that this is even a contest.

However, Koenigsegg typically has the edge in this area. Koenigsegg vehicles are designed for speed and performance, and they often have more powerful engines than Bugatti vehicles. As a result, Koenigsegg vehicles are typically faster than Bugatti vehicles.

Why can't supercars like the Bugatti Chiron be used in an F1 race? The answer is simple - Bugatti is SLOW. Well, it might be extremely fast vehicle on paper, but in real life it sucks badly compared to vehicles that cost 20 (or more) times less. Reason is simple - this behemoth of a car weights almost 2 metric tons.

Is anything faster than F1? ›

While this is certainly fast, F1 cars aren't quite the fastest single-seaters – that accolade goes to IndyCar.

The GT-R NISMO is rated for 600 hp and 481 lb-ft of torque¹, with significantly enhanced engine responsiveness. Complementing NISMO's improved power and grip are Brembo® brakes with enlarged, carbon-ceramic rotors measuring 16.1 inches in the front and 15.3 inches at the rear.

It makes power equivalent to 10 of those. Gulp. That's 1100+bhp and a quarter-mile time of 9.7 seconds, making it the fastest time ever at the Valley Run drag races. And by the time you read this, it has beaten it's own record, decimating a quarter-mile at full chat in a blistering 9.2 seconds!

Sure, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ may have gone quicker than any other standard production car before it (hitting 304.773 mph or 490.48 km/h in 2019), but in a straight line, this 2006 Ford GT is even faster.

0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) takes 5.5 seconds and 0–300 km/h (0–186 mph) takes 12.4 seconds. It has a top speed of 380 km/h (236 mph).
