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.

Hey Rimac,have you got nurburgring time yet ? Or are you a straight only one trick pony?
Non car guys made this post apparently. The Bugatti Rimac? Didn’t know that existed lol
That was electrifying

Am I the only one who thinks this a half man and half horse thing
Goddamn Rimac ruining internal combustion!!
I’m not terribly sure why this is something to be excited about. The Veyron is over a decade old, when are we finally going to let it retire from these speed comparisons?
This is the end of petrol powered cars as we know it!!
