The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is one of the fastest cars in the world with a top speed of 273 mph (439 km/h) and a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 2.4 seconds. The Tesla Model S Plaid is also one of the fastest cars in the world, albeit by a different metric, with a 0-60 mph time of just 1.98 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph (322 km/h). Both cars place their priorities in different baskets, with Tesla going for blistering acceleration and Bugatti opting for outright speed. To see which philosophy comes out on top, Carwow latest video sees the two go head-to-head in a series of drag and roll races.

Looking at each car’s performance, the Chiron Super Sport makes 1,580 hp (1,600 PS / 1,175 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque from a quad-turbo 8.0L W16 engine, and it weighs 4,288 lb (1,945 kg). By contrast, the Model S Plaid in its Track Pack guise makes 1,020 hp (1,034 PS / 761 kW) and 1,050 lb-ft (1,424 Nm) of torque from three electric motors, and it tips the scales at 4,766 lb (2,162 kg). That makes the Bugatti the lighter and more powerful car, but the Tesla has the advantage of instant electric torque.

In the quarter mile drag race, the Bugatti got fishtailed off the line, leading to a less-than-optimal start. That allowed the Tesla to take an early lead, but the Chiron managed to claw its way back at the very end, finishing mere feet ahead of the Model S. The roll race from 50 mph (80 km/h) tells a slightly different story. Unhampered by gear changes and aided by instant torque delivery, the Model S took off quickly and left the Chiron in the dust. That victory, however, was short lived, as while it did win in the quarter mile, the Bugatti got to show off its specialty — top speed — for the half-mile, crossing the line a few car lengths ahead of the Model S despite starting on the back foot.

In a second roll race, the Chiron was put into Autobahn Mode and started a gear lower in hopes of getting a better jump at the start. That idea worked, as it managed to nearly equal the Tesla in initial acceleration, and the two cars were pretty close for a majority of the race. In the end, though, the Bugatti won out again thanks to its much higher top speed. Repeating the conditions of the first roll race for a third one saw a similar outcome, with the Model S taking an early lead and the Chiron earning a late victory.

With all that being said, it begs the question of which car put on the better performance. Was it the Bugatti for clinching victory every time from a disadvantaged start? Or was it the Tesla, which was able to stick it to the Bugatti for one forty-fifth the price?
