    Haha, that was great fun! Thanks for having us again, Carwow. I suspect the car wasn’t running 100% power because of the exhaust issue, so we'll have to bring it back for more races once it's fixed! 😎💨

    Before anyone complaining about the Koenigsegg driver not being good enough: Perhaps he is not, but he actually uses his car as is only good and proper. In addition: he dares to go against a profesional drag racer on a multi million subscriber youtube channel despite knowing Mat is a better drag racer, Tesla's are great 1/4 mile cars and Koenigseggs are not. The man deserves our praise, not scorn. Also he has a Koenigsegg.

      I am from sweden and live not far from Koenigsegg in Ängelholm, so the sight and sound of them are daily occurrences. Sadly 9 of 10 only buys them as investments or for shows only and not as a regular sportscar. Cars are made to be used, so it's very nice to hear that you use it as intended. 👍

      Yanni wouldn't have effed up the gear changes 100% of the time. Even the last race, he started celebrating before he'd even passed the Tesla, and in doing so, effed up yet another gear change... a change that, given how close they were, could have got him the win. Driver error galore, but it could have been 2 wins Matt, one to Wam.

    Even though it's a fantastic car, the Koenigsegg seems to behave like a heavily tuned car: it's quite fussy and when serious performance is asked it's issue-prone. We've seen it happen on Carwow so many times. It really shows how well-engineered Bugatti's and Porsches are.

    Incredible video! The details on these cars are impressive, and the quality of this review is spot on. But one thing I’d recommend to anyone looking to buy an exotic car or make any large automotive investment is to work with a good financial advisor. I’ve personally been consulting with a top advisor, Stephanie Janis Stiefel, for years. She’s fantastic, and having her guidance has kept me in the green with all my financial decisions, especially when it comes to big purchases like these. She’s reliable, has an excellent track record, and you can find her online pretty easily. Just a thought for anyone serious about getting into the exotic car game.

Highly recommend her.

      Koenigsegg is build to go 200-250 M/h. It has its most horse power where most other cars cannot go faster. You can watch a review of the car. It feels like it doesnt slow down even when you go at that absurd speeds. Its just built differently. Whereas all the electric cars have their boost immediatelly but its not able to go those speeds because of few reasons and a few of which is weight, overheating of batteries and a few more... So electric cars are supposed to win a 1/4 drag race by default. You are just playing on their strong side.

    • @shha22
      @shha22 26 днів тому +24

      Thats actually not the issue here. For one, electric cars have really high torque, but not infinite one. They still need RPM to get to power. If what you said was the case, for one the traction would be immediately lost, and if not, you would just twist your axels, blow tires and mangle drivetrain. In fact the electric torque advantage is mostly visible when you pit low end electric and ice cars against each other. For the high power sports cars, which easily have power/torque to overcome tire grip, the amount of wheel horsepower at standing start is pretty much irrelevant - its too high anyway.
      Real reason why electric cars so easily beat hypercars from standing start, is because they can modulate power. If you removed their computer launch/traction control, they would most likely do worse then ICE cars. But what happens is, electronics sort of do a "reverse ABS" thing when launching - they cut off power and restore it to keep tire traction. Both electric and ICE cars do that, but electric cars can modulate the power on wheels up to hundreds times per second (in perfect circumstances, usually its "only" in the tens range). ICE cars have a lot more "lag" , and can only do it a few times per second, which leads to much worse traction management (and they cant as easily vector torque to specific wheels with more traction).
      In fact in the video, the Egg was already in 1000+ BHP range while still ahead (takes around 1 second to reach that much rpm in 1st gear), and kept there for 90% of the 1/4 mile.

    I can’t believe Tesla only “competition” are SUPER AND HYPER cars. Sports cars are not even in the picture
    Keep in mind just watched a $70k 0:15 mid sized SUV beating a $4,400,000 (US dollars) hyper car in a race.
    So it’s like you’re the GQ playboy. You’re a rich stud with a prime lady on your side driving around town in your $4mill+ car to show. You rev at stop lights, everyone is looking at your car while you look straight and ignore them because you’re so cool. Then all of the sudden a Tesla Model X plaid suv pulls up next to you at the light. A soccer mom is driving looking straight because she could care less about your care because she has a list of running around town think about. She has 2 kids in the back, groceries in the trunk. The 7 year old boy rolls down his window in awe and say loudly so you can here “ wow look at that car is sooo cool and fast” Now you don’t want to disappoint and you rev your engine again. The mom slowly looks over at you through her tinted window because she thinks you’re annoying.
    The light turns green and you punch it , ROAR of your engine is deafening and you blast off , only to your surprise so did she. 2 secs later and she’s a half car ahead , 6 secs later the kid is sticking his head out the window trying to see where his cool car went. 11sec later the mom is stopped down the road at the next red light. Then a few seconds later you show up side by side and the kid rolls his window up as he says your car is faster mommy. There is an awkward silence between you and your beauty queen as she realizes as you just did that you spent $4 million for pretty noise and that’s about it. The soccer mom spent 70,000 so she can take her kids to school go shopping and run errands all while spending very little to recharge and being content with her every day driver 😎

    I'd be pissed off if I spent 4M on a car that runs like shite. In this day and age not being able to launch it, change gears cleanly and having it constantly break down when it costs that much money is unforgivable. What a WOFTAM.

    • @themanofshadows

      The problem with Koenigsegg (particularly the Agera) is that it’s a single clutch and can’t put the power to the ground effectively, so it loses. It’s a good top speed car sure, but that’s about it. The Regera is a much more impressive car, and the Jesko as well. I’m fairly certain that a Jesko could beat the X Plaid in a drag race though.

    I am gonna answer it once it for all...
    1: this Koenigsegg is literally 10 years old now compare to the Tesla.
    2: RWD vs AWD plus electric car has instant torque and with the help of AWD.... Of course it is gonna be quick but not fast because after 1/4 mile run? Electric car is cook .
    3: I have seen many agera RS act like this especially at launch because of high HP and torque but red which mean slower launch especially for a car that is like 10 years old when technology (grip technology) is not that advanced at that time...
    3: sure it is expensive, 3.5 m or something .... But keep in mind this car is very engineered.... High downforce, timeless design, carbon fiber, high HP engine that also need loads of support.... Inside is carbon and so does outside...plus this car is mean to go 450kmh+ not 0-100 nor for 1/4mile.....
    4: the car kinda has problem so of course the performance is lower today..... Don't blame the driver.... The driver is there just to have fun and enjoy so plus this two.... You get a lower great result....
    5: PLSSS just because a electric car beat a combustion engine car.... Doesn't mean electric car is faster nor quicker.... And no agera RS is not the fastest.... For now the fastest is Bugatti Chiron 300+ but the fastest to 0-400-0 is Koenigsegg regera RS..... But again... Drag race and 0-100 is useless.... Hit the track and you will notice the Tesla Plaid is kinda slow compared to cheaper track cars.....
