Koenigsegg v Model X Plaid - DRAG RACE

**The Nasty Surprise is a Thing of the Past**

As we embark on this exciting journey with Tom, it's clear that the nasty surprise is indeed a thing of the past. With advancements in technology and design, we're now entering an era where car changeovers are not only possible but also expected. To get started, we'll be putting a link in the description of this video for those who want to experience the thrill of rolling into their cars while still on the move.

**The Rolling Race Begins**

We've decided to start with a rolling race over the quarter mile, and the first hurdle is getting into position. With Tom's car taking off like a shot, we'll see whose vehicle can cover this distance first. As Tom floors it after the star signal, we're off, racing against time to reach the quarter-mile mark.

**A Thrilling Experience**

As we roll towards the finish line, it becomes apparent that the difference in power and performance is significant. With its advanced features like launch control, Tom's car takes an early lead, but I'm hot on its heels. The tension builds as we approach the 150-meter mark, and suddenly, my car surges forward, allowing me to gain ground. However, it seems that my boost mode gives Tom an edge, and he manages to stay ahead.

**A New Game**

For our next challenge, we'll be racing over the half mile, with a twist: I'll start in second gear, while Tom can adjust his speed as needed. The goal is simple – whoever reaches the finish line first wins. With Tom's experience behind the wheel and my trusty car by my side, it's anyone's game.

**The Boost Factor**

As we take off from third gear at 50 mph, the difference in power becomes starkly apparent. Tom's boost mode gives him a significant advantage, allowing him to blast past me with ease. The rush of adrenaline is exhilarating as I struggle to keep up, but it seems that even without my car's full potential, Tom still manages to pull ahead.

**A Break Test Like No Other**

Next, we'll be putting our cars to the test in a break test from 100 mph. Slamming on the brakes and seeing which vehicle can stop in the shortest distance wins. With Tom's heavy car weighing in at 2.5 tons, he has a significant advantage over me with my lighter car weighing less than 1500 pounds.

**A Thrilling Victory**

And the results are in – Tom takes the win by half a car's length! While I managed to keep up with his speed, it was clear that even without proper braking, my car couldn't match his. As we take our final bow, I'm left impressed by Tom's skills and his trusty Kix EG.

**A New Era of Car Racing**

As we bid farewell to this thrilling episode, it's clear that the nasty surprise is indeed a thing of the past. With cars like Tom's Kix EG pushing the boundaries of performance and speed, the world of car racing will never be the same again.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: encan a Tesla Model X plaid beat a kex egg Agera RS in a drag race well I'm going to find out by racing them over the standing quarter mile I'm M Watson and you're watching carw the KX Agera RS has a 5 L twin turbo V8 that puts out 1,360 horsepower and 1, 1570 newm of torque that power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox with launch control the car weighs in at 1,395 kg and it costs £3.5 million the Tesla Model X plaid has three electric motors one on the front axle and two on the rear giving it all-wheel drive combined these motors produce 1,20 horsepower and 1,420 Newt M of torque it has a single speed transmission but there's launch control though the car does weigh in at 2,468 kg so it's a bit Porky it costs from just under 100 127,000 Tom how are your bottom muscles a little bit tense a little bit on the T size yes Matt I would say now I'm not going to lie to you when I last drove your car it was an experience but it wasn't necessarily an enjoyable experience just driving like what is it £4 million roughly it's just nerve-wracking yeah thereabouts I would say I know you drive it quite a bit actually how many miles has it done 9,800 you've done more miles in that than I've done in my SU suuki jimy but how do you go about like getting out the car maybe going to a restaurant maybe even going for a Wii and you're just leaving about 4 million just sat outside while you take a piss you know I Ponder this question myself quite regularly Matt I don't know there some kind of cognitive dissonance happening where I'm able to just forget about it I just love driving these cars I think you know even if you're buying a hyper car that's what it's for driving even if it terrifies you every time you drive it and that's the thing you know batti shiron you can just launch it easy all day every day pretty much once control has decided to work that thing it's scary and in some ways it can be a little bit too scary to make it not so enjoyable but in other ways that's kind of what you want you want a car like that to frighten you so I'm glad that I'm in this plaid which isn't frightening at all the only thing that concerns me about it is if the battery gets a bit too cold then I slip out of drag race mode I completely agree with you I think if you're buying a hyper car it needs to be a little bit scary like what's the point otherwise however it also needs to be able to be what is effectively a fridge on Wheels which is what I'm driving now you've got more power about a ton less weight the only disadvantage you have is that your rear wheel drive and I'm all-wheel drive but every other metric you are winning so if you don't win you must have to view yourself or your car as the biggest loser ever fully aware of that I think I will struggle to win the drag race regardless I actually have one of those fridge on Wheels it's a good family car actually you won't be the biggest loser ever because you own a conix egg and I don't so I'll still end up the loser let's do a sound check this makes no sound apart from it's slight woring that that's like the battery being cool I think cuz I'm in drag mode can you make some noise with your car I mean that's old school conix isn't it's just pure internal combustion engine it sounds powerful it sounds like it's got well over th000 horsepower which it has it really does look and sound as you imagine it should but can it get off the line as it should as well so let's find out let's do this race three 2 one it didn't like that one did it Tom I'll just run it up and down sorry won't going to uh launch now bit like a BMW it's almost like kenx he have used the launch strategy from BMW whereas the it will Fanny around sometimes and want going to launch mode and then you have to drive it up and down the runway to waste some fuel and then it lets you have it launch again they probably should have like followed Porsche with the launch strategy where it just does it all day every day no problems at all or Tesla sorry about that it's now definitely working and I'm going to try it in manual 3 2 1 oh I can see inside let's go oh that Gage oh hello oh hello no something happened when I changed up a gear maybe I changed at the same time it tried to Auto change if it auto changes why don't you just let it do it yourself for a launch I think it's better in manual I think the auto change is better for like a a highspeed rolling race you can't just go full manual there's not a button to press to go full manual yeah I mean maybe there is I'll try that this time and see I think if you were driving you would win well you want me to drive it do you want to drive it I don't know if I do it's a bit scary like isn't it yeah we could do one more and then if I'm still behind you have a go oh maybe I know you're probably saying Matt what you doing Drive the conx egg Drive the conx egg it's someone else's multi-million pound car I just don't think my balls are big enough and I've driven the car so I've ticked it see the thing is Tom I think your launches are fine so if you just sort the gearbox thing out you know I don't think I'm going to do any better it's all on me three two 1 do you know what Tom I I just had a sick sense that that was going to happen then you had a six sent that I was going to it so what is it that causes that it's like if you haven't built up enough boost it doesn't like it and if you have built up too much it doesn't like it so you've got to just time it perfectly yeah that's it I think I'm slowly getting to grips with how it's working it's more like you have to have the revs really high not come off the brake too fast either oddly otherwise it cuts so oh bloody out it's now not giving me launch again classic all right I'll wait here and go my phone for a bit yeah cool thanks mate con exag technicians are just going to look at the engine warning light that I've got to see if it's anything significant what do you reckon do you reckon it's going to be something significant or insignificant I'm going ins significant for Tom's sake I think we're good cuz it's exhaust flaps so I'll just turn it off and on again and we'll we'll go are you telling me Tommy you've got problems with your flaps I do have problems with my flaps mate yeah you're and your flaps your dodgy flaps dodgy dirty sealed unopening flaps 3 2 1 oh what game on oh no oh he's coming back come on come on Tesla yes come on Tesla o that was very interesting that was all right wasn't it you had a great start yeah did you have like power getting cut a little bit cuz you got off really good and then it yeah it was just losing traction traction control was flashing up a bit but definitely need it on cuz honestly it felt like it would go sideways without it let's do the thing so then what exactly happened well the slow motion action replay reveals that the Tesla won by the narrowest of margins but both it and the Kix egg crossed the line in 10.2 seconds if you're changing your car then you got to check out car wag because there's nothing quite like knowing that you getting a great price both when selling your old car and finding a new one car makes all the stuff that's hard work about car changing like the haggling the no shows and the nasty surprise is a thing of the past life changing now if you want to go a car while right now I'll put a link in the description of this video and the pin comment alternatively you can click on the pop out Banner appearing in the top right hand cor on the screen now or scan the QR code on screen using your mobile phone to go directly there car change car wow okay now what we're going to do is a rolling race and the first rolling race we're going to do is actually over the quarter mile so we're going to roll into this around 10 m hour and we'll have the starter do the normal star when the star's hands go down we floor the throttle and just see who makes it to the quart mile first okay sounds good it's kind of like a rolling into a drag race not a drag race kind of thing Tom just because of launch control in your car here we go here a star can I see him two one oh am I going to win this CU I'm come past him he Chang gear if I beat him on this it's embarrassing have him on oh look at him come now though so how was that that was all right I mean similar kind of thing I do think that you're a better drag racer and I think if if you were in this you would have transed me in that it was interesting watching your car you went off and then I came past you then towards the very end this thing was gaining at quite a speed it's just not enough room is it in the quarter mile once it's properly rolling like past 150 it's really starts ripping so let's move on to the normal rolling races over the half mile sounds good Tom I've got an idea what are we going to do is a rolling race we're going to start you're call in been second gear I'll I obviously don't have any years or you can get to whatever speed you want to feels comfortable right you're nice up boost and I've got a feeling that I might take off before you the game is we're going to see what speed I'm doing when you come pass me and I'll shout it out and you shout out what speed you're doing when you come past me so that's the game what speed are we both doing I like that plan yes given enough space I will come past you three 2 1 go oh well pointless did I jump not especially so I wasn't expecting that I thought I'd go pass you and then maybe you can pass you were just ahead yeah it was right on Boost there in second oh when it's on boost my God that goes yeah it really does it's pretty mental once it's on Boost well let's do it from third gear from 50 mph the standard car W test you might not be so Boosty then 3 2 1 go oh hello that was very different oh no oh no that shows you what a difference be on boost makes also I'm an idiot and I left that window open bit of drag don't think it was the deciding factor probably just unpleasant I'm happy to take any victory over a Tesla pla you've had one Victory might be another Victory coming up now though okay Tom now we're going to do a break test from 100 mph when we reach the line slam on the brakes whichever car stops in the shortest distance wins FYI my car weighs 2.5 tons which is a lot more than yours so yeah no excuses no excuses I think even even with me in it mine weighs less than 1500 now if you'd rather watching the drag race with the conic egg then click on the pop out Banner appearing in the top right hand corner of the screen or follow the QR code on screen now oh ow I did my back in pressing the pedal so hard so Tom you won Well Done by half a car's length may have been slightly you know scared on the brakes there as well a little bit light perhaps still though you won and that's the main thing I absolutely smash these brakes and yeah Teslas aren't known for their braking capabilities and there you go listen a huge thanks to Tom for bringing his koex egg out to play with now if you want to watch some other stuff with him and maybe a drag race another drag race on his channel check out wanon okay we've put a link in the description to this video go follow that anyway I hope you enjoyed the video if you did give it a like let me know what you think of the Kix EG in the comments below would you have one of those or Sheron now if you want to compare the car's time to everything else we've ever drag raced then click on the box the car wire box to
