It’s finally happened… We’ve got our hands on a Koenigsegg for a carwow drag race!!

We’ve got Mat lining up in the Koenigsegg Agera RST, and he’s about to go head-to-head against a Tesla Model S PLAID and a supercharged Suzuki Hayabusa!

So let’s see how these three monsters compare, and of course, we’ve got to start with the Koenigsegg! It’s powered by an incredible 5-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers an eye-watering 1,360kg and 1,573Nm of torque. It’s equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and sends all of its power to the rear wheels. It’s also super light, tipping the scales at 1,395kg, and it’s easily the most expensive car Mat has ever drag-raced, with an estimated value of £3,500,000!!

Alongside it, we have the Tesla Model S Plaid. It’s equipped with three motors, and they combine to put down 1,020hp and 1,420Nm, with all of this power being sent to all four wheels. Naturally, being electric, it’s weighed down a bit by the batteries and motors, and as a result, it weighs in at 2,190kg.

Then finally we have the Hayabusa. But this is no usual Suzuki Hayabusa! It’s had a supercharger fitted to it, and as a result, its 1.3-litre 4-cylinder engine produces 385hp and 280Nm of torque! This power is sent to the rear wheels, and of course, it’s oh-so light, weighing in at 257kg.

So how will this one play out - will the electric power of the Tesla propel it to victory? Or will either the Koenigsegg or Hayabusa sneak it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Hi Mat here! Was I right to play it safe with the bike backing up towards the Agera?

[Hadi_lt]

The fact that the koenigsegg owner let Mat drive his car is amazing

[sumitbainola]

That Hayabusa definitely needed a 2nd rolling race.

[yiannimize]

Now this was crazy! Proper enjoyed this race 💨

[MiguelRPD]

The turbo hayabusa kept trying to pop a wheelie at 200mph+. That bike is crazy.

Should've did another rolling race. Wanted to see the bike's potential

Thank you again to the guys at CarWow for inviting us down to race the RST. It was hard keeping this one a secret from you all when everyone asked us to bring the Koenigsegg down to race after seeing the 2RS video! It was brilliant watching the Agera RST fly down the runway, and great to hear the sound! We hope you all enjoyed this video and we look forward to showing you guys more of this car and documenting what we get up to with it!🙏🏻😊💙

£3, 500, 000 for the cost of the Koenigsegg and the vent pops out. That’s not a real “get what you pay for” purchase.

[SlimJimaa]

The balls to ride that Busa like that, fair play 🤝

[County-ejvj]

For anyone who has ever ridden a bike, the fact he held that together was amazing

[replicawatchreview]

Yes, you were right Mat. The expression 'Better to be safe than sorry' is so well known for a very good reason. More so in this case as it wasn't your car. Love the videos, thx mate. 👍

[EEDad]

As a motorcyclist, I'm so excited that you got a proper bike and a rider who knows how to launch it!
The Busa deserved a second chance at the roll on race.

[gregspencer]

Richard deserves a medal. He was all over the place and still stayed in it. Serious balls on the bloke.

[cathalwalker]

That Suzuki Hayabusa is an absolute monster

[robertholle]

Matt you're so humble. Jts
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks buddy. 😂

[turbojet]

I give the guy on the busa a lot of credit he’s doing great for keeping the nose semi down for all that power

[glutgirI]

Never have I ever thought that they will get a Koenigsegg in a drage race, that's just crazy and impressive how much Mat have come forward makes us all happy

[fayez]

That rider is insanely skilled. With that much power and wind too he was doing veey well!

[scubbarookie]

The Agera was absolutely awesome to see and rather exciting; the whole race of coarse! Mat is a cool gent, for lending absolutely Fab car! I would have been scared if someone were that close to the Agera. Great race chaps!
