They have managed to arrange a Bugatti Chiron vs F1 Car drag race. Yep, you read that correctly. The fastest hypercar in the world will be taking on the most focused race machine.

V8 power

Representing the F1 world is the 2011 Red Bull Racing Formula One racer. It is the same car that features in this very cool video. The RB7 is powered by a 2,4-litre V8 that revs to dizzying heights. It produces in excess of 558 kW, which does not sound like much, but it weighs just 650 kg. That gives it a power to mass ratio of 860 kW/ton

W16 quad turbo

The Bugatti Chiron is a car we have covered extensively on this site (as you can read here). It is powered by an 8,0-litre W16 engine that is fed by four turbochargers. It produces over 1 100 kW and a mammoth 1 600 N.m of torque. But a total mass of just under two tons blunts its performance a bit.
