It is laborious to search out many automobiles which are in any method akin to the Koenigsegg CC850. Other than the twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 that makes an unimaginable 1,185 horsepower (or 1,385 hp on E85), it additionally has a transmission that is by some means each guide and automated. Possibly it is engineering. Possibly it is darkish magic. Who’s to say, actually?
In the event you’re prepared to commerce some transmission sorcery for twice as many cylinders, an open roof and (most likely) higher reliability, although, you may at all times hop into the 282-mph Bugatti Mistral. Or maybe the totally electrical, 2,107-hp Rimac Nevera R is extra your pace. Alternatively, you may go along with one thing somewhat extra below the radar and choose a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer. Although Singer’s creations might not have the ability to compete head-to-head with the opposite three based mostly on efficiency, they’re nonetheless a murals.
After all, any video that in contrast these 4 automobiles can be an automated watch, however what if I informed you our mates over at Prime Gear had one thing much more attention-grabbing than a boring previous comparability take a look at up their sleeves? As a result of they do, and that “one thing” is the three CEOs of every model driving one another’s automobiles on monitor. Your entire factor could also be almost 48 minutes lengthy, however if you happen to love high-performance engineering, I promise you will wish to watch the entire thing.
Koenigsegg vs. Bugatti vs. Rimac vs. Singer
Nobody, not even Prime Gear, goes to fake Singers are hypercars, however as they put it within the video description, “they’re [sic] choices are simply as unique and priced accordingly.” Actually, although, it is not in regards to the automobiles (though it is nonetheless in regards to the automobiles). It is in regards to the CEOs getting collectively and experiencing one another’s creations. Sadly, whereas Horacio Pagani and Gordon Murray had been additionally invited, neither one was capable of make it, but it surely seems like there’s an opportunity we might ultimately see them each in a future video.
Regardless of Pagani’s and Murray’s absence, you continue to get three CEOs driving 4 wildly completely different automobiles. Plus, since this complete factor occurred on the Prime Gear take a look at monitor, you get to see what they will actually do within the sort of setting they had been really meant to be pushed. No pace limits, different drivers or pedestrian lives to fret about right here. Heck, you do not even have to really watch the video to understand it. Simply flip it on within the background, crank up the quantity and benefit from the sound of a few of the most unimaginable exhaust notes cash should buy (in addition to the back-and-forth between the drivers).
Oh, and if you happen to like what you hear, Prime Gear has additionally promised that Half Two is coming, the place all three sit down for an hour-long dialogue. Till that one’s launched, although, you will simply should accept Half One. Oh darn.
