Drag race: Koenigsegg Jesko Attack vs Lamborghini Revuelto vs tuned BMW M3

I’ve got a very special drag race for you today. I’m driving a Lamborghini Revuelto, which is a head-turning Italian exotic which would usually attract plenty of attention wherever it goes.

The car next to me, however, makes the Lambo look like a Volkswagen Golf. It’s a £5 million Koenigsegg Jesko Attack, one of the most bonkers hypercars you can buy.

And someone’s also brought along a BMW estate car. No, this isn’t your dad’s 520d, it’s a tuned M3 Touring with 1,000hp which could be about to put these two low-slung rocketships in their place. Let’s take a closer look at the stats.

Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

Lamborghini Revuelto

My Lamborghini is powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 with three electric motors. Combined, these produce 1,015hp and 1,062Nm of torque, which is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

The Revuelto tips the scales at just under two tonnes, and it costs a hefty £447,000. Then again, it seems like a bargain compared to the Koenigsegg.

Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut

This £5 million hypercar has a 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 1,280hp and 1,000Nm of torque. Getting the Jesko off the line could be tricky though, because it only has rear-wheel drive.

Power is sent to the rear via a nine-speed multi-clutch gearbox, and it’s the lightest car here by far. It weighs just 1,420kg.

BMW M3 Touring

From a pair of two-seater exotic hypercars, to a relatively humble family estate car. The BMW M3 Touring has a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight-six engine which usually makes 510hp and 650Nm of torque.

But this one has a fully-built engine, and now it produces 1,000hp and 1,100Nm of torque. This goes to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and the M3 weighs 1,865kg. All-in, this car costs £150,000, which is £60,000 more than a standard M3 Touring would set you back.

What will happen?

It’s going to be a close one, that’s for sure. The Koenigsegg may have the most power, and it’s the lightest, but being rear-wheel drive the launch could be tricky.

My money is on the Lamborghini, which is why I chose to drive it, but the M3 Touring might be about to humble both of these cars. Make sure you watch this week’s video to see what happens.
