2300 HP Gemera coming after 2025 It's funny how fanboys calling a Chiron SuperSport slow and boat It's all fun just line them up head to head and find out who's faster It will be unfair to compare how much faster Chiron SS is in real world racing
@thatparticulargame6001 who forgets to use speed key? And does a 2 Mile race?

@@SmzxeGemera will be quicker than the Chiron SS. How will a 1700-1750 HP car beat a 2300 HP car in acceleration and they both have a similar weight? And both have AWD. Aerodynamics is important. But that will only affect the Gemera's acceleration at higher speeds.

To answer your question. If i had to choose between the 2, I would take the Agera it's so raw and it has the best spec of them all, plus it's an Rs. The 918 is awesome as well but Agera hands down for me. Thanks for sharing the video Tom. 👍.
The 918 was the first of the trio to demonstrate that hypercars can be hybrids too. Saying you wish it weren’t a hybrid completely undermines that idea, doesn’t it?
Loved the gopros on the speedo-shame matt took off the second one 😅its cool because you can really see the difference in acceleration and appreciate the speed. Make sure to keep it 👍
Props to the special K, but on a road course is it actually faster than the P car? I'd like to know that. If I had to have only one of these I'd take the 918 every time.
Well the 918 is still one of the hardest launching non EV cars ever. It was the hardest launcher till the SF90 came along. It outlaunches a Chiron. And Koenigseggs? The older ones can't ever launch well. Only after the Regera and now Jesko, they managed to get good RWD launches, but the SF90 could still outlaunch them. They still haven't got the best out of their tires in the 0-30 mph range. All other times they're unstoppable.
Once that segg hits boost.........no chance! Crazy that he can drive the porsche but cant even get insurance for the Agera......the money involved in these cars is scary.
@@asaphgamer7537 LaFerrari is too slow gets beaten by a 918 in a roll race from dig it's not even close Cars like McLaren 720s are faster than 918 on rolling races LaFerrari can't touch modern Supercars in straight line like 296 GTB SF90 P1 765LT Revuelto 720s etc

Starting at such a low speed in a rwd car with a ton of power. Takes too long for it to spool and the egg doesnt seem to hook until its going almost 100 mph 😂
There is ONE RACE EVERYONE IS WAITING TO SEE AND NO ONE HAS DONE IT YET. HENNESSY KOENIGSEGG AND BUGATTI. THERE ARE NO OTHER COMPARABLE CARS UNLESS THEY ARE ELECTRIC. AND DO A ONE MILE RACE TO GIVE EACH CAR A FIGHTING CHANCE!!!! I DOUBLE DARE YOU TO DO IT

We need laptimes, drag racing is kinda pointless. Ofc an AWD hybrid will be faster off the line against probably any RWD car, and ofc in a long run the one with more Horsepower would most probably win. But the real question is the overall handling and useability of the power.
I already said it in carwow, but I'll repeat it again. I hope you read me now.Clearly the Agera needs an update to put all that power to the ground. The best thing would be some Hoosier slicks and some Weld racing rims with bead lock to improve the grip of the tires during the maximum launch and to be able to put the maximum power possible to advance, at least some Mikey Thomson radial tires, it could compete among the best times of all Car Wow without a doubt.Anyway, the Agera RS and its variants along with the Ferrari FXX K Evo are the ones I like the most of all♥, lastly, did you fix the problem I had?
Lmao I knew before I turned on the video that they won't do a real launch and just do rolling races as they're scared the engines / transmissions or clutch will blow up
Koenigsegg's just don't perform according to the numbers! I mean if the cars had half the power they claimed to have, then I'd say they were exaggerating their power figures whilst losing every drag race, but they're just so hard to drive and get the power down, the performance figures are mythical, in that you'll never find anywhere on earth that'll let a Koenigsegg perform as it does on paper in real life.
At the end of the day - 918 is 300kg heavier and has allmost 300HP less. So disadvantage in both weight and horsepower. Still wins in pretty much every situation except when artificially setting everything up to favor koenigsegg. In real life its no brainer. Also a really good example how number on paper doesn't always mean shit.
@@willemvandernest3249 I think upto 160 mph SF90 would be ahead At 170 mph both side by side After 170 mph Agera RS will just flypast Only if Agera RS is running well otherwise it would get beaten
and that ladies and gentleman is the difference between a hardcore supercar (agera RS) and a hypercar. (918) I mean the agera is really a drag race car is only fast in straight line in most areas isn't a competent car not like a chiron but every time it tries to do lap times it crashes.

Great to see these cars being driven
I want a car that won't loose power like my phone over time.
Once that segg hits boost.........no chance! Crazy that he can drive the porsche but cant even get insurance for the Agera......the money involved in these cars is scary.
It's not turbo lag, it's boost threshold.
Missed the ferrari sf90 or laferrari together
@@asaphgamer7537 LaFerrari is too slow gets beaten by a 918 in a roll race from dig it's not even close
Cars like McLaren 720s are faster than 918 on rolling races
LaFerrari can't touch modern Supercars in straight line like 296 GTB SF90 P1 765LT Revuelto 720s etc
I rreeeaallyy would like to Drag Race against the Koenigsegg with my 2016 BMWS1000RR, since the Koenigsegg is my Favorite car since it got released ... i absolute love drag racing and the results with it, no matter who wins
Starting at such a low speed in a rwd car with a ton of power. Takes too long for it to spool and the egg doesnt seem to hook until its going almost 100 mph 😂
I never found a video of egg winning a drag race in whole youtube even when it was going with stock huracan
link video
Would you ever get a Jesko?
2 of the greatest cars, ever!
a little brake boost on the egg would have made a massive difference..ijs
There is ONE RACE EVERYONE IS WAITING TO SEE AND NO ONE HAS DONE IT YET. HENNESSY KOENIGSEGG AND BUGATTI. THERE ARE NO OTHER COMPARABLE CARS UNLESS THEY ARE ELECTRIC.
AND DO A ONE MILE RACE TO GIVE EACH CAR A FIGHTING CHANCE!!!!
I DOUBLE DARE YOU TO DO IT
@@Suchshamefulpromotion those drag races are far from happening in real life Bugatti Chiron SS 300+ Rimac Nevera will destroying everything in drag races Hennessey SSC Tuatara or Koenigsegg doesn't matter
1/4 Mile and 1/2 Mile Rimac Nevera
1 Mile Chiron SS 300+
Jesko being 3rd at 1/4 and 1/2 Mile
And venom F5 beating Jesko Absolut to at 1 Mile
SSC Tuatara well it's slower than Agera RS from 100-200 mph
But from 200-250 mph or 295 mph
SSC Tuatara is faster than Jesko absolut Chiron SS or venom F5 doesn't matter which car
SSC Tuatara is Fastest in higher gears
We need laptimes, drag racing is kinda pointless. Ofc an AWD hybrid will be faster off the line against probably any RWD car, and ofc in a long run the one with more Horsepower would most probably win. But the real question is the overall handling and useability of the power.
I already said it in carwow, but I'll repeat it again. I hope you read me now.Clearly the Agera needs an update to put all that power to the ground. The best thing would be some Hoosier slicks and some Weld racing rims with bead lock to improve the grip of the tires during the maximum launch and to be able to put the maximum power possible to advance, at least some Mikey Thomson radial tires, it could compete among the best times of all Car Wow without a doubt.Anyway, the Agera RS and its variants along with the Ferrari FXX K Evo are the ones I like the most of all♥, lastly, did you fix the problem I had?
U just need more seat time bro … love the video 🔥
i thought koenigseggs could brake boost or is that just the jesko?
Was the Agera performing correctly? Or was traction control just limiting the power it could get on the ground?
Koenigseggs are always slow off the line
@festo8885 Right but this is a roll
@@W1nkey_ there's no traction in Agera RS till 3rd gear or 80 mph it will spin or keep bouncing off rev limiter
Lmao I knew before I turned on the video that they won't do a real launch and just do rolling races as they're scared the engines / transmissions or clutch will blow up
I would choose Porsche because its Porsche
Koenigsegg's just don't perform according to the numbers! I mean if the cars had half the power they claimed to have, then I'd say they were exaggerating their power figures whilst losing every drag race, but they're just so hard to drive and get the power down, the performance figures are mythical, in that you'll never find anywhere on earth that'll let a Koenigsegg perform as it does on paper in real life.
At the end of the day - 918 is 300kg heavier and has allmost 300HP less. So disadvantage in both weight and horsepower. Still wins in pretty much every situation except when artificially setting everything up to favor koenigsegg. In real life its no brainer. Also a really good example how number on paper doesn't always mean shit.
Rolling races aren't in an artificial setup and are more real than drag races.
918 is literally the greatest car ever made not even really close
More Egg PLEASE!!!
Of course!
Pretty suuuure that agera is clapped out in all kind of ways tho tbh.
Would love to see the SF90 vs the Koenigsegg in a similar race. For some reason I think the Koenigsegg will only catch up after 200mph
SF90 will beat the Agera RS
Agera RS only winning after 1/2 Mile
When SF90 hits it's maximum limit over 180-200+ mph
@Smzxe exactly. It will be interesting though to see how long it will take him to catch up to the SF90
@@willemvandernest3249 I think upto 160 mph SF90 would be ahead
At 170 mph both side by side
After 170 mph Agera RS will just flypast
Only if Agera RS is running well otherwise it would get beaten
Walter Rohl said why did they ruin it with heavy batteries.
Am i ever going to see the jesko absolute and Gemera in action?
and that ladies and gentleman is the difference between a hardcore supercar (agera RS) and a hypercar. (918)
I mean the agera is really a drag race car is only fast in straight line in most areas isn't a competent car not like a chiron but every time it tries to do lap times it crashes.
Coach Mat👌🏽
wheres the B-Roll cinematic music from?
