Drag races are held all over the world. The fastest of the fast take part in them in order to measure themselves against their opponents in a direct comparison. Today we are introducing you to a Bugatti Chiron Drag Race that is a bit different than you might expect.
Drag Race Bugatti Chiron
The pilot did his best on the 1/4 mile. Unfortunately, however, the launch control didn't play along and he missed a good start. It was only on the third attempt that he managed a good finish time. Apparently it was the extended rear wing and the many modes trying to control the vehicle.
In this 15-minute video, DragTimes' drag racers present the Bugatti Chiron to a hard test. Apparently, the 1.500 hp super sports car from Molsheim, which costs around three million euros, does not come close to the fastest times on this racetrack, despite its performance. He ends up posting an acceptable but hard-fought 9 on the Palm Beach drag strip.
