Welcome to the race where 0–400–0 km/h happens faster than you can blink.

Buckle up - we're diving into the hypercar Hunger Games where 0–400–0 km/h is the only score that matters. Picture this: Koenigsegg’s latest juice-fueled beast, the Jesko Absolut, rockets to 400 km/h and stops again in 25.21 seconds. Blink and you’ll miss it. Not far behind is Rimac’s electric prodigy, the Nevera R, posting a jaw-dropping 25.79 second run. Two seconds apart? In this league, that's basically a photo finish.

Meanwhile, the rest of the pack is panting on the track. Koenigsegg’s Regera (hybrid wizardry) chugs through the sprint-stop in 31.49 seconds, slightly slower than its all-electric cousin, the Rimac Nevera (standard) at 29.93 seconds. Old guard Koenigseggs and Bugattis are still beasts - the Agera RS clocks 36.44 seconds, and the Bugatti Chiron, bless its four-turbo heart, lumbers in at 41.96 seconds. Let that sink in: Bugatti’s glory days now look positively leisurely next to these sub-30-second monsters.

Is it absurd? Absolutely. An EV outdragging supercars left and right? A combustion engine pushing physics to the edge? It’s like watching rocket science and pure rubber-burn on a dragstrip. These speeds are so ridiculous that by the time you hit 400 km/h, your morning coffee might still be warming up.

Electric vs. combustion, Sweden vs. Croatia vs. France - it’s a playground showdown with physics getting a wedgie. So the next time someone brags about highway speed, casually mention these names and times. They’ll probably just nod... mind thoroughly blown.
