Great video! Watching them both go at it on an oval track was fun. Awesome, gorgeous exotics there.

Koenigsegg with the gaptism

That Agera R has always been fapfawkntastic! Good lawd it makes the Veryon SS look silly.

I, as most who are informed came here for the Agera.. that Bugatti can go hard park itself in a corner...

 

[black92]

Very impressive and I would take either one! One thing I've wondered though, how much better would the Veyron do if it was in top speed mode (no wing raising)?

 

[Z06]

Agera!

damn agera is serious! need to pit it against a hellcat.

The wing always raises. The pitch angle just stays flat. And you'll notice the pitch angle was flat in the video, so it was in top speed mode. But if that doesn't convince you, just visit the same Youtube channel and search for more of the races between these two cars. It's the same results. An Agera S Hundra made a Veyron Super Sport (in top speed mode) look like a sissy.

I have no doubt the Agera will win 10 out of 10 times. I always thought the wing would stay lowered on a top speed run and only raise to help aid in braking. A quick search reveals that the wing is in fact always raised, just aligned with the body as you mentioned :http://www.bugatti.com/en/veyron/technology/speed.html

The Agera R is the business !!! that thing made a ridiculously fast car look average at best...:banana:

And if the agera had the hellcats magical transmission that gapping would have been worse. Agera has a granny shifting auto is seems.

That was just sick. Unobtanium too.

I know some will disagree, but I think of Koenigsegg, McLaren, Pagani and the like as extreme high end kit cars. Whereas the Veyron is a genuine limited edition regular production car built by Bugatti, a genuine regular production super car automotive manufacturer.

Question: Which car would you feel safest in driving at max speeds, the Veyron or the Agera?

I know which one I'd feel safest in ...

Come on, man! You really think you're going to survive a crash at 260+MPH? At those speeds, it doesn't matter what kind of car you're in. You're dead meat.

Bruh. You don't know what you are talking about. Technology has come a long way.

LOL! Yeah, but he was still only doing maybe 50MPH in that crash. Good movie, btw. hahaha

Koenigsegg used the same monocoque 12 times in crash tests for the American market. It passed.

The Huayra uses special titanium bolts that are designed to shear and break the monocoque away from the accident, just like an F1 car. Those bolts in that car cost $100,000.

They are designed just as well as the Veyron, they just follow a less is more approach, rather than more is more.
