Here's The Bugatti Vs Rimac Drag Race We've All Been Waiting For

Find out how a Bugatti Veyron fares against a Rimac Concept One in a straight-line drag race

After putting out a series of comparison videos featuring a Rimac Concept One and his own Bugatti Veyron, Lord Pembroke has at last released the video us simple-minded petrolheads have been wanting to see. Yep, it’s a drag race.

The Rimac driver reacts noticeably quicker than Pembroke in the Veyron, and it’s worth noting the Bugatti’s launch control system wasn’t used (the video description also states that the car’s “traction control didn’t like the minus 5 temperatures”). But even so, the less powerful Bugatti - which gives away over 100bhp to the Rimac - sticks with the Croatian electric hypercar the whole way. It’s also interesting to see the Concept One spinning its front wheels off the line.

We’d be up for seeing a rematch in better condition with a more even start, but still, it’s cool to finally see these two go head-to-head.

I’ve looked deeper into their tech actually, seeing a bit of whats behind it, it’s really advanced stuff, don’t be surprised if they do very well!

I’m not terribly sure why this is something to be excited about. The Veyron is over a decade old, when are we finally going to let it retire from these speed comparisons?

lol old doesnt mean anything, theres a lot of things the veyron can still beat even though its a decade old. this is to show that the technology and power EV’s can produce has surpassed that benchmark. in fact rimac surpassed that a while ago when it beat a much much newer Porsche 918.
