Here's The Bugatti Vs Rimac Drag Race We've All Been Waiting For
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.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Croatia making awsome stuff…
Whenever we stop being lazy
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
Rimac
Lol, you born around the 00s?
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
My dream car when I was 8…
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.
Now waiting for a Rimac vs Chiron battle…
yes, that would’ve been the appropriate battle :D The Veyron is quite old already.
Also waiting for the Agera R vs Rimac drag race
Reminded me of this race, both cars were similar, only the bugatti’s were good
what episode was that in?
“.. ..Croatia electric hypercar.. ..”
no, I will never get used to that(I’m Croatian)
Apparently Homer Simpson’s car is Croatian as well
Electric car with insta-torque faster in a straight line. suprising…
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
Dude i have posted this 2 day ago and CT stuff has ignored my post and than repost it. This has happened for the second time now ;)
First time was the news about turist ship with gokart track.
Welcome to CT where being a mod makes you invincible and gives you a army of c*nts at your dispossal whenever you arent right.
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
