The Jesko Attack is powered by a 5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine producing over 1,200 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful hypercars in existence. In contrast, the Suzuki Hayabusa has been extensively modified with forged internals, a supercharger, and other upgrades to deliver 370 horsepower while remaining extremely lightweight.
The race takes place over a standing quarter mile, highlighting the stark contrast between the Jesko’s massive power and the Hayabusa’s exceptional power-to-weight ratio. Despite the Jesko’s overwhelming horsepower and advanced multi-clutch 9-speed gearbox, the Hayabusa’s lightweight and modifications make the competition very close, creating a thrilling race dynamic.
Throughout the video, the drivers discuss the cars’ technical specifications, the challenges of launching such powerful machines off the line, and the visceral experience each vehicle offers. The Koenigsegg's exposed green-tinted carbon fiber bodywork and high price point provide an exclusive supercar feel, while the Hayabusa represents tuning artistry and raw motorcycle spirit at a fraction of the cost.
The races are tight, with the bike often challenging the hypercar’s acceleration and even edging out narrow victories in some runs due to its traction and weight advantages. The video also includes rolling races and brake tests, emphasizing the impressive capabilities of both competitor machines. In between races, there is an interesting conversation about the Koenigsegg owner’s private jet business and his plans to develop a high-performance GT car.
The video captures the excitement and fascination of drag racing at the extreme ends of automotive and motorcycle performance, showing how a hypercar and a high-powered motorbike can deliver exhilarating, closely matched competition despite their vastly different designs and powertrains. It’s a celebration of engineering, speed, and the passion that fuels tuning culture and hypercar development.
