Drag Race: Agera RS vs. Model S Plaid vs. Hayabusa bike

Carwow fans are in for a treat: the channel has managed to bring a Tesla Model S Plaid, a Koenigsegg Agera and a tuned Suzuki Hayabusa motorbike together on a drag strip. All three are eminently capable, but which one is your money on?

Starting with the Agera, it is a heavily customized RST spec boasting custom décor and an optional power package lifting the output to 1,360 PS (1,341 hp / 1,000 kW) and 1,573 Nm (1,160 lb-ft) of torque. The entire torque goes to the rear wheels, and the hypercar is basically featherweight at 1,395 kilos (3,075 pounds).

The Tesla Model S Plaid produces 1,020 PS (1,006 hp / 750 kW) and 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque. Its battery is weighing it down considerably, though, resulting in a curb weight of 2,190 kilos (4,828 pounds).

Going up against the two cars is a Suzuki Hayabusa bike hitting the tarmac with 380 PS (375 hp / 279 kW) and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft) of torque thanks to aftermarket forced induction. It is by far the lightest of the trio with 257 kg (567 lbs) of weight.
