What happens when one of the fastest hypercars on the planet lines up against a supercharged motorcycle with a power-to-weight ratio that defies belief? That’s precisely what Carwow set out to discover in a thrilling drag race between a Koenigsegg Jesko Attack and a heavily modified Suzuki Hayabusa.
The Hayabusa has been modified by TTS Performance and now features a forged 1,300cc engine with a supercharger, producing 375 horsepower and 258 Nm of torque. The TTS HayaBusa has a greater than one-to-one power ratio. Facing off against it is the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 making 1,200 horsepower on pump fuel (and up to 1,600 on ethanol).
As expected, traction was a key factor in the races. In multiple runs, the Hayabusa’s launch was unpredictable, with wheelies and a grabby clutch complicating the action. Despite Jesko’s massive power, it couldn’t quite overcome the Hayabusa’s power-to-weight advantage, falling just short in the best-of-three showdown.
