Bugatti vs Koenigsegg Cars - Which is the BETTER Hypercar (and WHY) 

2:26 Metric system: kilometres per hour American system: football field per second

The regera literally uses the most mind boggling tech, has insane speed numbers and is super innovative and this guy just ignores it completely... 3 PoInTs FoR bEiNg RaRe

The Bugatti didn't break it's own record. At the time of the Super Sports' run, the record was held by the SSC Ultimate Areo at 256 mph. Also Koenigsegg has been the holder of several acceleration records that it's been beating with nearly every car they bring out.

One thing you missed for Koenigsegg on the future round... Christian has been working on Freevalve technology which eliminates the need for camshafts to operate the valves. This tech is used in the Gemeras 3 cylinder engine. Because of freevalve, Koenigsegg has the fastest reving production engine ever made. I believe he said it can rev up to over 13,000rpms, but I would have to find the video again. Not saying the engine can reach 13,000rpms but how fast the engine can get to the rev limiter in seconds. Just insane.

Bugatti: 100+ years of experience, backed up by one of the biggest companies in the world. Koenigsegg: Starting budget: 6 million $, around 20 years in the game and still has caught up to bugatti and run them over completly. This video is absolute bullshit

To start things off, yes, I own a Volkswagen. However, I love all car culture. Bugattis are cool and all, and I respect their contribution to the automotive industry. But, it is hard to deny Christian von Koenigsegg and his team's determination despite not having so called "pedigree". Furthermore, the founder, himself, came from a working class family and started building his first go kart at age 5. The competition between these 2 companies is unfair. You are comparing one company, founded when automobiles were relatively still new by a man who came from a wealthy family and is currently funded by the world's leading automotive corporation, to a company who was practically founded in a shed by a man who had almost nothing and is currently fighting against the rules and regulations set forth by today's society. Also, you made an error in your video. When the Stig lapped the Top Gear Test Track in 2008, you failed to mention that the Koenisegg had no form of aerodynamics to help slow the car down under heavy braking. Furthermore, this crash happened during a reattempt after the car beat Bugatti's record at the same track driven by the same driver under the same conditions. As a result of this crash, a rear carbon fiber wing was made standard for saftey reasons which actually increased performance slightly. Just stating facts here man. Also, I forgot to mention that when Koenisegg did their most recent world record run. It was in Nevada on an uneven public road. The fact that it achieved that on such a surface is astounding.

"Now we are going to look for exclusivity, you don't want the same car as your neighbor haha" and just after that "Well Koenigsegg doesn't get that many points because it is TOO exclusive". This guy is hilarious 🤣 This should've aired on 1 April...

Koenigsegg One : 1 went 7 seconds faster than a P1 at Spa on their warmup lap. Then authorities hurriedly changed some noise limits and cancelled their lap. Conspiracy. And the Regera somehow went faster than a McLaren Senna at Ring Knotsrtup.

"exclusivity is the key here" "Koenigsegg is the most exclusive" "I'm gonna give Bugatti 4 points but only 3 to Koenigsegg.... cause its more exclusive ?? honestly this series just sucks... scoring never makes sense

The scoring was unfair. Koenigsegg totally gets a 5 in the future category. It is extremely unfair to not talk about the extraordinary technology and engineering that Koenigsegg develops. And in the Attainability category koenigsegg should have won because they are more rare and you cant hold the fact that they are newer company against them

The pedigree category seems weird considering modern Bugatti is not the same company. Bugatti went bankrupt and collapsed in the 60s and the name was bought decades later. Just like in professional sports, the titles and records don’t follow the name, they follow the franchise. Modern day Bugatti shouldn’t receive any credit for a “long heritage” because they only go back to the 1980’s

I love how organized DM are with you’re hosts per topics.

“Koenigsegg doesn’t give us enough to look forward to” yeah like they aren’t going for a top speed record Nurburgring record and a 4 seater hyper car with 1700 horsepower when the Bugatti has 1 car that is pretty much already out

I'm convinced koenigsegg has a time machine...their engineering is on a level never seen before

I’m pretty sure you could give 5 for the last point with Koenigsegg CC850’s manual/automatic gearbox

You'll shouldn't forget these results are based on his personal comparison and opinion.

Bugatti wins because Koenigsegg apparently needs one more model? Tf is this guy on

"maybe if koenigsegg had tipped the scales with one more model" Ohhhh wait there is one more, it's called the regera Ohh what it even has speed records and amazing tech innovations, "let's just ignore that one" Yup, sounds about right

Great video, a little disappointed you didn't mention that James May held the speed record for about 5 minutes but you can't have everything. Keep up the great work.

Hey guys its been 2years so can we get another ep on this in current circumstances

Your scoring is hilarious 😂 “in this category you want to be exclusive” I’m only giving koenigsegg a 3 because they’re too rare. Oh have a day off. Just say at the start you prefer Bugatti so they’re going to win 🤦‍♂️ Koenigsegg are better and should win this, just look at the comments I’m not the only one saying that. Koenigsegg’s engineering is off the charts considering how young they are as a company as well, it’s mind blowing.

Nah this show is too biased, lacks any landslide wins “ always a close tie” too afraid to actually criticize I hope donut actually pays attention to its fans and not right us off as haters because that’s how people lose interest

I want to see an updated video on this topic soon, Im shocked this is 3 years old already

He forgot about the Bugatti Bolide coming out this year. That is arguably something good to look forward to.

This is the first one of these that legitimately pissed me off, Koenigsegg got robbed.

Koenigsegg: We have camless engines and 7 clutch transmissions Random guy: I'm not going to give 5 points to Koenigsegg in future category Yeah, totally makes sense

this guy is a bugatti fanboy, that just did a quick youtube search of koenigsegg

“Cars are rewarded for being exclusive.” Also says, “The Koenigsegg is too exclusive.” This series is subpar

Never did I hear him mention the Regera even once. This was biased.

23 Hours ago the 🪙s🥚broke the record again. 0-250 mph in 28.81 sec and 250-0 in 8.25 sec.

I love the part where you say "If the stig cant keep it on the track, then no one can" Haha

New category: Innovation and engineering Koeningsegg: Freevalve, carbon wheels that are lighter than the tires, 3-cyl that makes 600hp, LSP and hydro-coupling tansmissions, dihedral-synchro-helix doors..... Bugatti: hmm idk let's just add more cylinders...

Me: 27 seconds into the video *Reads comments* Me: Welp I'm outta here

I’m sure the heads of each company are losing sleep over your evaluation. 🤣

This was my first Donut.😶...memories.

"Less drag than an F1 Car" Bruh literally everything has less drag than an f1 car (no joke look it up)

Host: If only Koenigsegg had on more model. Koenigsegg Regera: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?

I think people forget how dangerously fast these speeds are 😂

I live in sweden and have actually been at the koenigseeg head quarter unfortunaly it was a weekend and it wasnt open. But i saw a jesco absolut and a jesco in person!

Stop watching after the top speed score this guy made up the rules then break them for the Bugatti 👎

Bruh just tell us at the end of the vid that “this video was sponsored by Bugatti”

Totally enjoyed this

This guy is so exited while talking cars, that he don't even blink!😮

Bugatti had the financial support of the VW group unlike Koenigsegg that was built up on its own and deserves more recognition for the balls to do so

"Ok, we're going to give Bugatti a 17 and Koenigsegg a 16. Let's do some research so we can make those numbers happen." - The writers of this show 0/10

Koenigsegg is the quiet kid whereas Bugatti is that teacher who always tell his students how great he is.

for top speed they forgot the koenisegg jesko ABSOLUTE

"The Koenigsegg is better, but i gotta give it to Bugatti." tf is this man even saying?

Koenigsegg: We've got a top speed model, a track model and one that can fit 4 swedes with 1700 hp and is also a hybrid with a respectable electric range. Joey: But are you ready for the future?

This guy is growing on me they have some good hosts for the show

If you understood Swedish this would end a whole other way, his love from cars came from a movie named flåklypa Grand prix.

The “future” was sooo biased, Koenigsegg really deserved MORE than 5 points, they definitely lead in technology. The Regera's Direct Drive transmission which was invented by Christian Koenigsegg himself is just an exemple. Edit: this is the first time I ever disliked a Donut Media's video.

First the insane bias in Camaro vs Mustang, now this? “Exclusivity is the factor here, but it’s too exclusive” this guy is a joke lmao

Its like the battle of a veteran and new gen

He should make another one of these vids because of the bugatti bolide and the la vortre noire

What the scoring should have actually been: Top speed Bugatti and Koenigsegg 5.- Both are top companies in this aspect both historically and presently. Attainability Bugatti 4 Koenigsegg 5- Bugattis are too common, which can caused value to drop. Koenigseggs are sought after like crazy and have gained millions in value as a result. Track performance Bugatti 3 Koenigsegg 4- Bugatti haven't really made all out track cars like Koenigsegg and their cars are too heavy to be racing beasts. Koenigsegg have made incredible track beasts such as the One:1 and CCGT (Jesko will be an absolute beast but has not raced yet so can't really be taken into account) but due to multiple unfortunate circumstances and a long history with track and race organisers, they have not been able to show what these cars are capable of hence the 4. Pedigree Bugatti 4/5 Koenigsegg 3/4- Bugatti is an old company and well known. If you ask a non-car guy what the fastest car is and they'll tell you a Bugatti Veyron. Koenigsegg despite being a lot newer than Bugatti, does have an interesting history, such as the reason why all their cars have a ghost on them, and the story behind their badge. They are also well respected by everyone who knows about them. The future Bugatti 2/3 Koenigsegg 5- Koenigsegg have a bright future ahead of them, producing wacky cars and showing that they are well capable of producing hybrids such as the Regera and the Gemera, they have also created multiple new technologies including Aircore wheels, Freevalve, redesigning the gearbox TWICE, and many more (a more complete list is on their website). Bugatti on the other hand, are stuck selling the same car over and over with a new body or slightly reduced weight. Plus their W16 will not be relevant in a couple of years and they have so far not shown any ability to adapt to renewable energy sources/ hybrid power which will undoubtedly dictate the car market in the next decades. Total score: Bugatti 18-20 Koenigsegg 22-23.

You need to make a updated version of this.

Host - "Exclusivity wins this round hands down" Also Host - "Koenigsegg loses this round because they're too exclusive" Me - "........................."

This reminds me of the game of cups on friends. Joey and bugatti are the kings at cups!

I think some additional categories could have been considered, like tech/innovation and luxury/comfort. I'd easily see Koenigsegg taking the top spot in the former, with developments in transmission technology for example. I'd even say that their development is significant outside the hypercar realm, since it's not unthinkable to see some of their tech in much more accessible vehicles in the future. Bugatti in turn is basically all about "more is better", which I do not see as very innovative. In turn, at least according to reviewers like Doug DeMuro or Shmee, Bugatti would pull ahead in luxury.

"Bugatti was started in 1909!" Automobiles Ettore Bugatti was started in 1909, yes, and died in 1963. Bugatti Automobili S.p.a was started in 1987 and died in 1995. Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S was started in 1998 and is the current company. These are three different companies. They share exactly TWO things! The badge and the name Bugatti. That's it! If CvK had bought the rights to the name and badge of Studebaker (1852-1967) does that mean that they have a history spanning 168 years? No. The fact is that Koenigsegg is an older company than the Bugatti of today.

This was biased towards Buggati. You could easily tell how he kept on supporting Buggati. He left out so many notable Koenigsegg achievements and focused on the less notable Buggati ones. Put up any koenigsseg vs buggati duel of a generation and the egg would win. The 0-400-0 chiron was 10secs slower than an Agera RS. He left out the Regera (Fastest 0-400-0) in the world and CCX as a whole and their records. Also he forgot Koenigsseg made the fastest and most advanced transmission in the world. He even supported the oneway run of the Chiron supersports which doesn't count. #WhereisJamesPumphery

I saw that ghost logo when I downloaded the car's mod in need for speed most wanted 05 , I was showcasing the car then I saw that ghost logo "that's new"for me

The Need for Speed movie made me fall in love for the Agera R

"Attainability" is such a weird category when discussing hypercars. They're supposed to be exclusive haha

It’s funny how he forgot that the regera broke the 0-400-0 record and still forgot the model completely. This scoring was bs.

The McLaren F1 is still technically the fastest naturally aspirated car

We need a rematch for Bugatti and Koenigsegg

Bugatti: hosts favorite Koenigsegg: fan favorite

WTF is this scoring. This is clearly biased against Koenigsegg.

I don't have to choose in between I csn adapt them both Why run vs when they can run together to the finish line

bro, if this video was made by Nolan or James, it would have banged

I feel like this show is designed to irritate me at this point

"The less atainable the better" "Koenigsegg only gets 3 points because by dad doesn't know about them" k

You should update this and talk about the Bugatti Mistral and Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut

I saw an agera RS in person once 😮

Koenigsegg made massive technological innovations that are sci-fi to other manufacturers, it should've been an easy win for the sweeds. This show lost its credibility

THIS GUYS SCORING IS A JOKE

That Ghost Logo: they just killed Batman and extracted his Soul, 🤣 haha

Many People like to hate Bugatti for their overall design and the engine, but I have to say, i love the engine sound. Not because of the sound characteristic of the engine layout, but how unstressed it sounds, no matter how fast it’s driven. It’s sounds like it’s just not giving any fucks.

Koenigsegg is the best CHANGE MY MIND

Host: "Exclusivity is part of what makes it desirable" Also host: *Gives only 3 points for Koenigsegg because of the exclusivity" I mean... Koenigsegg let the customer customize the car they want if they want to if I'm not mistaken

What he fails to mention is when the CCR hit 241 it was also doing it on a constant curve.

Sure, Bugatti makes some serious powerhouses, but there's just something about Koenigsegg that gets the heart racing. Their innovation game is off the charts, and you can't beat the exclusivity they offer. Plus, Koenigsegg's commitment to pushing boundaries with every model is just too cool. Bugatti's got its charm, no doubt, but when it comes to turning heads and setting records, Koenigsegg's got the edge, hands down.

A football-field a second - ah yes, the famous american unit of speed

Koenigsegg takes the cake in my opinion

Also Koenigsegg’s free valve tech is probably one of the most revolutionary things to happen to the combustion engine in the last 50 years.

An request to Donut media. i think it would be appreciated if you also showed metric values in your videos for audience not familiar with inces and pounds. but thank you for good content. cheers from sweden 🙃

this is by far my least favorite series on Donut. I like STis but the Evo was def a better car. The mustang is better but it won for stupid reasons, and i think 90 percent of true car enthusiast will indulge koenigsegg over Bugatti

Agera RS also holds 0-400-0 acceleration records over the Bugatti Chiron. That wasn’t taken into account.

anyone else look at the square background and even though all the squares were straight every time you looked at them they would bend???

Petition to get a proper point system

Does anyone else also thinks his points are just given deliberately? Like "nah this one is winning so lets give this one a little bit more"

Bruh. Just skip the BS and say "I prefer Bugatti" because clearly this video isn't based on any kind of logic.

What colour is your Bugatti?

18:48 Most road cars produce less drag than F1 cars. However, it's the drag in F1 that makes them fast. It's because none of the drag goes to waste since most of the air is used to push the car down.

Bro, I'm 5 mins into the vid and I see the current speed world record holder lose in a category called top speed. U serious? Gtfo ( pls the show is a good idea but get someone other than him doing it, he's way too biased )

"The more exclusive the car the better, except Koenigsegg they made it too exclusive, so I'm going to give this round to Bugatti."..... What? Like I don't have a favorite here but that makes no sense lol

So why was there no mention of Koenigsegg's amazing freelance technology? I would venture to guess that that alone would push its future points to the max! Especially because of what the technology has to offer now amd for the foreseeable future. Heck even Wesley Kagan put it on a miata!

This scoring makes no sense. "Pedigree" category was added just to give bugatti more points.
