Tesla Model S Plaid vs. Bugatti Chiron – Dig and Roll Airstrip Attack

January 5th, 2022

This is the day that supercars took over the airstrip. At the top of the heap is the Bugatti Chiron. With a selling price of over $3 million, the Chiron is one of the most sophisticated and powerful cars ever produced. Today, we get a chance to see if this French machine can tame the latest dream-squasher to come out of “Detroit”. Boasting a 9-second quarter-mile, the stock Tesla Model S Plaid has been whipping everybody. Before the Tesla and Bugatti go at it, we have a dig race between a Porsche 911 Turbo S and the all-electric Plaid sedan. Read More

Breaking Barriers – Bugatti Chiron Busts 300 MPH

September 2nd, 2019

Finally! After years of waiting and countless attempts, a production vehicle has surpassed 300 mph. Bugatti Chief Pilot Andy Wallace climbed aboard his Bugatti Chiron and made the record setting feat look simple. It should come as no surprise that the car to bust the 300 mph ceiling was a Bugatti. After all, the Bugatti Veyron gained fame after churning out 268+ mph back in 2013 and earned an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. The Bugatti is fast; with a rich heritage in racing. The Bugatti Chiron, with a price tag of $2.1-million, is certainly one of the Read More

1160HP Koenigsegg Agera RS 0-400-0

October 6th, 2017

In proving that their product is up to the 0-400-0 challenge, Swedish automaker Koenigsegg gained exclusive access to an airstrip (and the largest solar farm in Scandanavia) in Vandel, Denmark. This was done for the sole purpose of testing their newly updated supercar, the Agera RS, in a 0-400-0 timed trial. This timed trial is not just for kicks and giggles. Christian von Koenigsegg, not being the type of individual to accept anything less than excellence, wanted to see the Agera RS best the world record 0-400-0 time of 41.96-seconds, set by Juan Pablo Montoya in a Bugatti Chiron (September Read More

Street Racing – 1500HP Bugatti Chiron

October 2nd, 2017

With four-turbochargers and a meticulously crafted W16 engine, the all-wheel drive Bugatti Chiron is priced at a cool $3.5-million. This monster of a vehicle leaves conventional performance vehicles in its dust – on the street or track. Under the disillusioned premise that we could stay in the same zip code with the Bugatti Chiron, we hit the streets (of Mexico) in our Jaguar SVT for a bit of a video adventure. Keep in mind that the Jag is capable of making 575hp and it’s one of the fastest – if not the single fastest – production vehicle that jaguar has Read More

Bugatti Chiron – New World Record

September 15th, 2017

This outstanding video documents a new world record by the most advanced supercar on the planet. In 2018, Bugatti plans to raise the bar even higher in the top-speed record for a production car category. They plan to accomplish this monumental task with the 1,500hp (1,180 lb.-ft. of torque) Chiron. In route to setting a new top-speed world record, Bugatti took a little time to set a new world record for a production car to go from a standing halt to 400 km/h (249 mph) to a complete stop. This feat was accomplished in only 42-seconds. The Bugatti Chiron is Read More

First Pass – 1479HP Bugatti Chiron

March 30th, 2017

For those who don’t know; it’s Boo – got – EEEE. Best I can tell, that is either Italian or French for “Fast as heck!” (depending upon who you ask). Seriously though, Bugatti performance automobiles have been around since the early 1900s and this is likely to be the best of the lot. Of course, it is hard to foul things up when you start with nearly 1500hp and 1,200 lb.-ft. of torque. All that get-up-and-go is derived from a massive, mid-mounted, 8.0-liter W16 engine and four-turbochargers. Bugatti uses a two-stage turbocharger setup which features a pair of low RPM Read More

June 30th, 2016

Get a load of this awesome (looking and sounding) 1500hp Bugatti Chiron as it manipulates the thin straits of legendary Goodwood Raceway. Amid a field that included every kind of exotic supercar that you can imagine, this beauty still managed to stand out. It is designed to be an improved replacement for the Veyron.

The electronically controlled top speed is 261 mph and the price tag is – brace yourself – approximately $2.6-million.
