When you think 鈥渨orld鈥檚 fastest car鈥�, those of you who grew up in the 2000s Top Gear era will immediately think of Bugatti. It鈥檚 been making ludicrously fast cross-continental cruisers for decades now, but today we鈥檒l be focussing on the Chiron.

There have been a lot of different variants of the Chiron over the years, and I鈥檝e got two of the best here: the Super Sport and the Pur Sport. But which is fastest in a drag race? Well I鈥檓 going to find out. Let鈥檚 take a closer look at the stats.

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport

Powering the Super Sport is an 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine with 1,600hp and 1,600 Nm of torque. That鈥檚 about five times more power than you鈥檇 get in something like a Volkswagen Golf R, and it鈥檚 600hp more than a Ferrari SF90.

This is sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at a hefty 1,995kg. At least you鈥檒l shed some weight from your wallet when you buy this car, because it costs 拢5 million.

Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport

The Chiron Pur Sport has the same 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine as the Super Sport, only it has to make do with 1,500hp. It鈥檚 a wonder it can move with just 500hp more than a Formula 1 car.

Just like the Super Sport it has all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it costs the same 拢5 million. The Pur Sport does have a slight weight advantage as well, tipping the scales at 1,945kg.

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport vs Pur Sport: what鈥檚 the difference?

With such similar stats you may be wondering what the difference is between these cars. Well they鈥檙e actually designed for very different purposes.

The Chiron Super Sport is optimised for top speed. It can reach up to 273mph, and there was also a 300+ version which could do a crazy 304mph.

By comparison, the Pur Sport has a top speed of 218mph. This is because it was built for handling on a track, and it鈥檚 for this reason that it has shorter gear ratios than the Super Sport, allowing it to accelerate faster.

It鈥檒l do 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds, whereas the Super Sport will take 2.4 seconds. It鈥檚 only a small difference, but it could make all the difference in a drag race. Make sure you check out the video to see which car wins.
