THE DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!

We’ve got our hands on the almighty Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, and it’s facing off against the incredible Tesla Model S Plaid Track Pack!

So let’s see how these two rockets compare. Starting with the Bugatti, it’s powered by an incredible 8-litre quad-turbo W16 that pumps out 1,600hp and 1,600Nm of torque. It sends power to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,995kg. There have only been 30 ever built, so as a result, it’s pretty expensive, costing around £4,000,000!!

Then we have the Tesla. It’s equipped with three electric motors, and they combine to produce 1,020hp and 1,420Nm of torque. It has four-wheel drive, and it weighs in at 2,190kg. It’s also so much cheaper than the Bugatti, costing around £135,000.

So it’s the one you’ve all been waiting for, but which will snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

    I think we all knew the Bugatti would eventually pass the Tesla. But in all seriousness, a $135,000 essentially keeping up with a $4 million car is insane. Also its got 4 doors and is made to fit a family in it.

    I feel like the poor relation in the video but oh my it’s a good race
  • @LateNightCrypto
    The fact that the Model S plaid dropped $40k since release is the most impressive part.
  • @BoroOman
    This is the best carwow episode ever. The speed those cars go through the finish line is insane. They are just a blur. Fantastic content.
  • @thewowbanana
    That Bugatti pulling from 150 to 190 is so insane
  • @javiazar
    For the price of the Bugatti you can buy yourself 10 of those Teslas and still have enough left for a beach mansion.
  • @pyramo3170
    That Bugatti pulling the way it does above 120 is absolutely nuts. That plaid, having had the privilege to launch and drive one is absolutely alarming. I owned an M3P and the plaid felt like its launch, but it didn't fade until absolutely irresponsible speeds. Allegedly. I might be alone in this opinion but I think that Chiron sounds really good.

    They really do the best drag races on the planet at the moment
  • @Ven100
    12:10 The hilarious part is that the Model S Plaid doesn't actually fade after 100, it's just that the Chiron SS is so mind-blowingly fast, it makes the Plaid look like it's fading. You all remember the Carwow Model X Plaid vs 911 Turbo rolling races? The Tesla pulled the entire way, even well over 100 MPH. It's all relative.
  • @RazgrizAce67
    Fact that the Tesla was even close is so impressive!
  • @BoroOman
    Yianny’s reaction is priceless. He just can’t believe the speed of the Tesla.
  • @eliofernandes565
    The Bugatti is just insane from any aspect. As for the Model S its crazy that it can only have competition from multi-million cars.
  • @trevormarcray
    Matt's going on about the Chiron, but the only thing I saw was how freaking amazing the Tesla Plaid is!!
  • @jarandekraker4030
    Races like these deserve a third car with average supercar stats to reálly get an idea of how fast these things go
  • @ianeyd5215
    I just find it amazing that a little over a decade ago, manufacturers were scrambling to get to the magical 200 mph and then we have mat here, casually doing 200 mph @8:30 in a drag race, on a walkie talkie, in a production car. Mental!
