Thanks for using the Metric system, now I know how quick or slow the 2 cars.
I’d take the agera rs anyday I mean 1360 hp and rear wheeled drive , seems a lot of fun
Still Bugatti all the way.
Simple. The Agera is down by about 100 horsepower but has a weight advantage of more than 500kg. No-brainer really.
I think people should consider this. It took a car made by Koenigsegg, then modified by them into what they called “the ultimate track tool” to beat a 2+ ton luxury car from 0-400-0.
The Agera RS is a purpose built street legal track car. It’s entire purpose is to be fast. This would also mean that it’s going to be lacking almost all non-essential parts to be as fast as possible. I’d be surprised if it had more than AC, and basic stereo. Where as the Chiron is loaded with luxuries, everything from fancy infotanement systems to heated seats, and a lot more.
Hate on Chiron all ya want. The Chiron is still one of the fastest cars in the world, and who’s competitors for speed are all purpose built track day cars. There isn’t a single other non-track day oriented car that can compete with the Chiron.
I never have really been fan of Bugatti but you gotta respect their engineering marvel that they created. Though with that being said Holy SH*T that agera was moving. 0 to 186 in 13 seconds
IN YOUR FACE BUGATTI!
It’s not kph. It is km/h
Check the speed and odometer on your car. You will never see kph because it is not the correct symbol. km/h is. Check this out if you don’t believe me.
Kilometres per hour is a unit of measurement, which measures speed or velocity. The unit symbol is km/h or km·h^−1. By definition, an object travelling at a speed of 1 km/h in a straight line for 1 hour moves 1 kilometre. The unit is the most commonly used unit of speed worldwide, more common than the SI unit of speed, metres per second.
Please correct your title to show the correct unit symbol.
You can’t just calculate the acceleration then divide it by 9.8 m/s^2 to get a “g-force”. g-force is the affect of gravity which is a vertical, thus something you would experience when opposing gravity. Like in a rocket accelerating into space. Even a plane taking off experiences some g-forces but only the portion in the Y direction. That is what the g stands for, gravitational force. Since the car is accelerating in a horizontal direction, it is not being opposed by gravity. The only opposing forces would be wind and air resistance.
The actual force the vehicle experiences would be the mass of the vehicle times the acceleration. In this case a car going from 0 to 400 km/h (111.11r m/s^2) x 1395 kg or 155 kN. The driver would feel a force equal to his mass times the same 111.1111r m/s^2 horizontal acceleration, that being about 11.111r kN for a 100 kg man.

Bad physics. You need to fix this.
