Bugatti vs Rafale: A drag race not for the faint-hearted
HT Auto Desk
It could be easily described as the mother of all drag races when a Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport enters a fight with Dassault Rafale fighter jet. Bugatti has revealed a video and several images showing off the duel that took place at Dassault's headquarters in France recently.
Involved in the drag race was a limited edition of the Chiron Pur Sport with its 8.0-liter W16 engine, capable of churning out a whopping 1,500 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque. On the other hand was the Dassault Rafale fighter jet of the French Navy. The two turbojets of the fighter plane are capable of producing nearly 58,550 newtons of thrust, which is equivalent to approximately 5,727 hp. No match, one would say, compared to even the most powerful hypercars ever built.
