FAQs

Is Tesla Model S Plaid faster than Bugatti Chiron? ›

A Tesla Model S drag raced a Bugatti Chiron. The Bugatti won, but the races were surprisingly close given the cost difference between the cars.

The fastest cars in the world right now are:

Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+ SSC Tuatara. Hennessey Venom F5. Rimac Nevera.

In the case of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, the 8.0-liter, 16-cylinder engine makes 1,578 horsepower and has a top speed of 261 mph. Despite its two-ton weight, it gets to 60 mph is 2.3 seconds. The Super Sport's base price is $3.7 million, but the way this one was spec'd it's closer to $4.3 million.

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport — 304.7 MPH

The top spot for the world's fastest supercar goes to Bugatti. In 2019, pilot Andy Wallace railed a tweaked-version of the 1,600 hp, 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged Chiron Super Sport around the Ehra-Lessien track.

The Quickest Cars inMotorTrendHistory. Back in 2021, we launched a Model S Plaid to 60 mph in 1.98 seconds, and Lucid says its Sapphire can beat that with a 1.89-second holeshot.

But gasoline and horsepower tend to pay off at high speeds, which is why the Bugatti ends up winning both races. Especially in the half-mile roll, you see the Bugatti struggle at first and then charge past the Tesla on its way to a 206-mph run. The Tesla runs out of steam in the low 180s.

The fastest car in the world is: Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (330 MPH) That title goes to the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which recorded a staggering 330 mph top speed earlier in 2023.

Deliberately limited by the manufacturer to a top speed of 261 miles per hour, the Chiron's speed testing topped out at 304 mph in the hands of a professional racing driver.

Koenigsegg is known to be a bugatti killer. They are actively producing high speed cars that would defeat the record of the Bugatti cars. Koenigsegg is a Swedish supercar brand and their new Jesko Absolute is said to reach the 300 mph mark.

How Much is a Bugatti Oil Change? Bugatti oil change costs usually range from $20,000 to $25,000. The exclusivity of a Bugatti, the labor involved, and the quality of the materials used, contribute to the price of an oil change.

Is Bugatti Chiron street legal? ›

In the United States, the Bugatti Chiron can be driven on public roads without a special licence. The car you might (very) rarely see on European streets is physically different from the one you would find in the United States.

Fastest from the blocks: 0-60 mph

As of today, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 crushes all with a 0-60 mph time of just 1.66 seconds. That's simply absurd, but keep in mind the Demon was engineered with the single-minded purpose of going fast in a straight line.

The Hennessey Venom GT boasts a 1,244-horsepower twin-turbo V8 engine that allows the vehicle to achieve a top speed of up to 270 MPH. It can go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 2.7 seconds and 200 MPH in under 15 seconds. Designed to be the fastest car ever built, it set a record in 2013 as the fastest street-legal car.

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport holds the land speed record for the fastest car in the world and its quad-trubo W16 engine allows it to do 0-100 kmph in 2.2 seconds.

What Is The Fastest Car In The World? The Thrust SSC is the fastest car in the world with a Guinness World Record-breaking top speed of 763 mph (1,227.9 kmh). It is also the first car to ever break the sound barrier. But unlike the other cars on this list, the Thrust SSC is definitely not street-legal.

Tesla Model S Plaid Is Fastest Car from 0-60 MPH Ever Tested by Motortrend. Tesla Model S Plaid is the fastest car from 0-60 mph that Motortrend has ever tested. “When experiencing the acceleration of a Plaid, it's abundantly clear that virtually the only force you feel is the Tesla's seatback,” the publication wrote.

Currently the fastest Tesla is the Model S Plaid. It will leave pretty well every production car including Lambos and Ferraris in its dust from standstill. You're looking at a car here that can do 0 to 60 mph is around 2 seconds and the quarter mile in about 8.7 seconds.

The Chiron in regards to performance is probably the pinnacle of the petrol engine. They will both do 0-100 km/h in under 2.5 seconds. The Chiron has much higher top speed, well over 400 km/h, but the Roadster will win a lap around a racetrack.

The driver is able to swiftly and quietly sprint to an indicated 328 kph, or 203 mph, before reaching an electronic limiter.
