A Bugatti Chiron Super Sport side by side with a Tesla Model S.
Both the Tesla and the Bugatti offer massive amounts of horsepower and speed — but one is gas-powered and one is electric.
  • A Tesla Model S drag raced a Bugatti Chiron. 
  • The Bugatti won, but the races were surprisingly close given the cost difference between the cars. 
  • The Tesla in the video would run you around $110,000. The Chiron would have cost $4 million and up. 

An enduringly strange element of the rise of electric vehicles is that previously rare levels of performance are now commonplace.
