lets be honest that was an entirely predictable race result lol.

Koenigsegg has a few less ponies but much much less weight and RWD so less drag than the veyrons 4wd meaning (as we saw) from lower realistic speeds the bugatti is much much faster but when you get to silly speeds where the Agera R gets traction and its all down to power to weight ratio, its bye bye veyron.

great test though - gotta say obviously the Agera R is a complete animal but I just love how the Veyron is just so undramatic even when raced hard. where the koenigsegg was revving its bollocks off the veyron just seemed to be purring along. even at 1200bhp that massive engine aint really working that hard lol what a feat of engineering.

The reason behind that is because the Veyron has 8 more cylinders and 3 litres more in engine capacity so doesn't need to work so hard to achieve its power.
No replacement for displacement as they say ;)
