Bugatti Chiron Super Sport vs Koenigsegg Jesko — Which S2 Class AWD vs RWD Is Better in FH6?
Two very different approaches to going fast. The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is AWD with 1,578 hp, the Koenigsegg Jesko is RWD with 1,600 hp. Here's which one wins — and why.
Putting the Bugatti Bugatti Chiron Super Sport against the Koenigsegg Koenigsegg Jesko is one of those comparisons that doesn't have a clean answer until you've run real laps back to back. The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport puts down 1,578 hp from a 8.0L Quad-Turbo W16, weighs 1,995 kg, and drives the AWD wheels. The Koenigsegg Jesko counters with 1,600 hp from a 5.0L Twin-Turbo V8, tipping the scales at 1,420 kg through the RWD wheels. On paper they look close enough that you'd think it comes down to preference. It doesn't — I've tested both extensively and the gaps are real, sometimes surprising, sometimes exactly where you'd expect.
In FH6 specifically, these two cars interact with the updated physics engine very differently. The tire model changes, the weight transfer rework, the differential behavior — all of it shifts the balance between AWD and RWD in ways that weren't true in FH5. I spent a full evening hot-lapping both on the same circuits back to back, and what I found changed which one I'd recommend depending on what you're trying to achieve.
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport — The Bugatti Contender
The fastest production car in FH6 — 1,578 hp, 490 km/h top speed, and physics-defying acceleration.
Pick your battles. The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport excels in FH6's Road Racing and Street Scene series, where the AWD launch advantage compounds across multiple corners per lap. In Drag Racing, it's competitive but not dominant — the AWD parasitic loss costs you top-end speed that pure RWD cars convert into trap speed. Dirt Racing is where expectations get interesting. The car's road-biased tuning means it understeers on loose surfaces unless you adjust your line: wider entries, later apexes, and patience with the throttle. Cross Country is its weakest discipline. The suspension lacks the travel for big jumps and rutted sections. Stick to asphalt-dominated playlists and you'll be in the mix for podiums.

| Spec | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 10 | The absolute ceiling — nothing in FH6 is faster |
| Handling | 5.5 | Two tons don't change direction willingly |
| Acceleration | 10 | 0-300 km/h faster than most cars hit 100 |
| Launch | 10 | AWD + 1,600 Nm = physics-defying 0-100 in 2.4s |

Pros & Cons — Bugatti Chiron Super Sport
Pros
- Uncontested top speed — wins every Speed Trap by default
- Quad-turbo W16 delivers relentless, lag-free thrust at any RPM
- AWD puts all 1,578 hp to the ground without drama
Cons
- Weighs nearly 2 tons — understeers like a freight train
- PI leaves almost no room for upgrades in S2 class
- Terrible on technical circuits with tight corners
Best Events — Bugatti Chiron Super Sport
| Event Type | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Speed Traps | S-Tier | The reason this car exists — hold throttle, win |
| Speed Zones | A-Tier | Good speed, but weight limits corner exit |
| Road Racing (S2) | A-Tier | Dominates high-speed circuits, struggles on tight ones |
| Drag Racing | S-Tier | AWD launch + 1,578 hp = unbeatable |
| Drift Zones | D-Tier | Two tons, AWD, and 355mm rear tires do not drift |
| Cross Country | F-Tier | It's a Bugatti. Don't. |
Koenigsegg Jesko — The Koenigsegg Contender
Swedish engineering at its absolute limit — 1,600 hp, a 9-speed Light Speed Transmission, and a mission to break every speed record that exists.
Drive the Koenigsegg Jesko like a rhythm game, not a racing game. Each corner is three inputs — brake, turn, throttle — and the timing between them is the entire skill. Brake too abruptly and the nose dives, the rear goes light, and the car won't rotate. Brake too gently and you overshoot. The sweet spot: firm initial pressure, then ease off as you approach the turn-in point. Weight transfers forward smoothly, the rear goes just light enough to rotate, and you're back on throttle before the AWD cars have finished understeering past the apex.

| Spec | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 10 | Theoretical top speed exceeds 480 km/h — S2 king |
| Handling | 7.5 | Rear-wheel steering helps, but physics still applies |
| Acceleration | 10 | LST transmission shifts in 0.002 seconds |
| Launch | 8.5 | RWD struggles with 1,600 hp from a standstill |
| Braking | 8.5 | Carbon ceramics on a 1,420 kg car — excellent |
| Off-Road | 1.5 | Absolutely, categorically, no |
| PI (Stock) | 990 | Near-ceiling S2, almost no upgrade headroom |
Pros & Cons — Koenigsegg Jesko
Pros
- The highest top speed of any RWD car in FH6 — Speed Trap king
- Light Speed Transmission shifts faster than physics should allow
- Only 1,420 kg — incredibly light for hypercar power levels
Cons
- RWD + 1,600 hp = traction-limited below 200 km/h in lower gears
- Near-max PI leaves almost no room for meaningful upgrades
- Incredibly rare — Wheelspin drops are borderline mythical

| Speed Traps | S-Tier | The ultimate Speed Trap car — nothing is faster |
| Speed Zones | A-Tier | Rear steer helps, but it's not a handling car |
| Road Racing (S2) | A-Tier | Dominant on high-speed tracks, careful on technical ones |
| Drag Racing | A-Tier | LST transmission shifts are lethal, but RWD launch is tricky |
| Drift Zones | C-Tier | It'll spin tires, not hold a controlled slide |
| Cross Country | F-Tier | You know better than this |

Verdict: Which One Should You Pick?
Here's the honest answer after testing both cars back to back on the same circuits. The "better" car depends entirely on what you're driving for.
Pick the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport if: you race on tracks with long straights where top speed matters more. you want consistent launches and all-weather grip. you're building for maximum performance regardless of budget.
Pick the Koenigsegg Jesko if: you race on tracks with long straights where top speed matters more. you enjoy the challenge of managing oversteer and want the higher skill ceiling. you're building for maximum performance regardless of budget.
If I could only keep one, I'd pick the Koenigsegg Jesko. Both are competitive in the S2 class meta though, and either one will podium consistently if you build it right. My advice: test both at the Autoshow, run a few laps on your favorite circuit, and trust the stopwatch. The numbers don't lie — even when your heart wants them to.
