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
Remote video URL

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.

Interesting how when we were 8 years old the Bugatti was everyone’s dream car, I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few years an 8 year old’s dream car could be the Rimax

When I was 8, it was all Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Hardly anyone knew of McLaren, even fewer knew of any Bugatti (I remember the EB110 looked weird around the headlights) and GT-R was a version of Skyline

What is this video supposed to show? That its possible to beat a Veyron that doesnt use launch control? Of course it is, a heavily tuned 20 year old Audi S4 could do that in a quarter mile.

The reason they didn’t use launch control on veyron is that it didn’t make a difference, becuase of the cold and damp conditions. And the Rimac had a handicap too…. It had 20% battery left which meant it had limited power output.

Well, it was closer than I expected. The Veyron is already over 10 years old and can keep up with a 1000+ hp electric supercar. Not bad at all!

If the Start was more equal, it wouldve been much closer, but the Bugatti launched a bit later than the Rimac

And you just posted a link.. .. have you made the video? Or posted it online? No? How did they “steal” it from you? Don’t get me wrong, same happens to me(a lot!) and I do hate it but it’s not like they are stealing our work, they probably saw the same news/video as we did and posted it. I’m okay with it, more people see the news when a CT staff members makes a post then when I do
