Bugatti Chiron vs. 1800HP Lamborghini Huracan – Drag Race

November 29th, 2023

Drag races of this magnitude are as rare as hen’s teeth. It’s not common to see the owner of a $3.8-million Bugatti willing to enter into a contest of speed – much less one willing to run against a modified Lamborghini. What’s that you ask? The Lambo price? Only about a half-million dollars (with the current mods). Made in France, the all-wheel drive Bugatti is well heeled with a mid-mounted 8.0-liter W16 engine with four turbochargers. This beast of a power plant can churn out 1,578hp and 1,180 lb.-ft. of torque at peak RPM. In stock trim, the Chiron SS Read More
