Thanks for using the Metric system, now I know how quick or slow the 2 cars.
I’d take the agera rs anyday I mean 1360 hp and rear wheeled drive , seems a lot of fun
A 1 MW engine sounds more impressive than horsepoopers
Still Bugatti all the way.
The interior, the smoothness, the w16. If you just want to go fast just get a gtr and tune it, but there is no way you can build such a piece of art (chiron)
Why was this downvoted
Simple. The Agera is down by about 100 horsepower but has a weight advantage of more than 500kg. No-brainer really.
I think people should consider this. It took a car made by Koenigsegg, then modified by them into what they called “the ultimate track tool” to beat a 2+ ton luxury car from 0-400-0.
The Agera RS is a purpose built street legal track car. It’s entire purpose is to be fast. This would also mean that it’s going to be lacking almost all non-essential parts to be as fast as possible. I’d be surprised if it had more than AC, and basic stereo. Where as the Chiron is loaded with luxuries, everything from fancy infotanement systems to heated seats, and a lot more.
Hate on Chiron all ya want. The Chiron is still one of the fastest cars in the world, and who’s competitors for speed are all purpose built track day cars. There isn’t a single other non-track day oriented car that can compete with the Chiron.
Consider the funding required by Bugatti vs the funding required by Koenigsegg to achieve these feats as well…
Bugatti obviously had more time in thinking and preparing for the 0-400-0 than Koenigsegg
The underdog won the battle, but if everything was equal in terms of funding, R&D and all other aspects, I would wager that Koenigsegg would give Bugatti a proper spanking
Consider yourself surprised then. The Agera RS have all of those things and more. And the Regera which is supposedly even quicker than the RS, makes Chiron’s “luxuries” look very pedestrian indeed.
Respect to the Chiron no doubt its an engineering marvel, but that’s how Bugatti continues to build their products because they believe in a certain standard that is parallel to performance. Plus the Agera does have some creature features that you would find in any modern car, it’s by far a stript out track focus racer though definitely has its essence. As well as Koenigsegg has a third of the development force and production line as Bugatti.
I never have really been fan of Bugatti but you gotta respect their engineering marvel that they created. Though with that being said Holy SH*T that agera was moving. 0 to 186 in 13 seconds
No, it was moving 0 to 300 km/h in 13.35 s. Can’t you comprehend what is being said in the video or written in the headline?
IN YOUR FACE BUGATTI!
It’s not kph. It is km/h
Check the speed and odometer on your car. You will never see kph because it is not the correct symbol. km/h is. Check this out if you don’t believe me.
Kilometres per hour is a unit of measurement, which measures speed or velocity. The unit symbol is km/h or km·h^−1. By definition, an object travelling at a speed of 1 km/h in a straight line for 1 hour moves 1 kilometre. The unit is the most commonly used unit of speed worldwide, more common than the SI unit of speed, metres per second.
Please correct your title to show the correct unit symbol.
You can’t just calculate the acceleration then divide it by 9.8 m/s^2 to get a “g-force”. g-force is the affect of gravity which is a vertical, thus something you would experience when opposing gravity. Like in a rocket accelerating into space. Even a plane taking off experiences some g-forces but only the portion in the Y direction. That is what the g stands for, gravitational force. Since the car is accelerating in a horizontal direction, it is not being opposed by gravity. The only opposing forces would be wind and air resistance.
The actual force the vehicle experiences would be the mass of the vehicle times the acceleration. In this case a car going from 0 to 400 km/h (111.11r m/s^2) x 1395 kg or 155 kN. The driver would feel a force equal to his mass times the same 111.1111r m/s^2 horizontal acceleration, that being about 11.111r kN for a 100 kg man.

Bad physics. You need to fix this.
