First, it is RWD, I didn't hear them mention it but I doubt they were running it on E85, which bumps power up from 1280 to 1600hp.
Your points are valid, but the Rimac Nevera has a quad motor AWD system and it puts out 1,900HP. And it lost by a hair in this particular race.

Even with the e85, I don't think the Jesko wins in a quarter mile drag. A one-mile race? Sure.

The Vette would be even faster if they'd taken the spoiler off. Cooler tracks, the ZR1X is gonna be hard to beat; hot track is gonna favor the Rimac.

Koenigsegg didn't appreciate this though . . .

Its not so much the stopping distance that is improved, its the fade resistance, and lighter weight.

And no dust on the wheels...


I have the porsche PCCB and although they are all of those things, I have to be careful on that first stop leaving the house and everything is cold.
