Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Gets Pit Against 1,600HP Lamborghini Huracan in Drag Racing Showdown

Is a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport faster than an 1,800 hp Lamborghini Huracan that has been detuned to 1,600 hp? Mat Watson and the rest of the CarWow gang want to find out in their latest drag racing showdown.

The 4,398-pound Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is powered by a quad-turbocharged 8.0L W16 engine generating 1,578 hp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque, paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. As for the 3,637 pound Lamborghini Huracan, its modified twin-turbocharged 5.2L V10 now makes 1,775 hp (detuned to 1,578 hp) and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Without spoiling the results, it’s safe to say that the Huracan can definitely hold its own, despite the price difference.

Finally, we have a bit of a wildcard with a WRX Mini hatchback. This is actually the rarest car here, being one of one, and it’s powered by a dinky four cylinder engine. That may seem a bit underwhelming compared to the Bugatti, it has four times the cylinders after all, but this plucky little car still puts out 600hp and 1,000Nm of torque,” said the CarWow team.

Honda Civic Turned Lamborghini Huracan Knockoff Might be Strangest Mod Yet

Photo credit: ThePetrolHead55 / FB Marketplace
Just like Craigslist in the early 2000s, FB Marketplace is the place to go for strange items nowadays, like this 2006 Honda Civic turned Lamborghini Huracan knockoff. It’s reportedly located in West Bengal, India and priced at around $10,823 USD (900,000 INR).

Aesthetically, the entire front fascias has been replaced with a Lamborghini Huracan-like bumper, vented hood, fenders and headlights. Swing around the back, and there’s a large rear wing, dual exhaust pipes located right below the trunk lid, and what appears to be a painted fiberglass diffuser. Unfortunately (or fortunately), there’s no information on any engine modifications.

On a related note, did you know that the Huracan’s name (Spanish word for hurricane) was inspired by a Spanish fighting bull. That’s right the historic Spanish fighting bulls have been used as the names of many Lamborghini car models, while Huracan was a bull who fought in 1879, best known known for its courage.
