the veyron set off at this point ... reaching 200 mph at the SAME time as the mclaren. so much for accelaration huh ??
its rather difficult to fathom really.

veyron top speed is est to be be 410kmph ... evn if its not ... it would be substantially faster than the mclaren F1
How about this...

McLaren F1: 6064cc V12 - Veyron: 7993cc W16
McLaren F1: Naturally aspirated - Veyron: 4 Turbos
McLaren F1: 627 bhp - Veyron: 1001bhp

Now imagine if Mclaren was given an extraordinary budget, seven years and four turbochargers. I think we'd have the closest thing to God.

I admit both cars are iconic. However, one made it's footprint forever, while the other will tend to always remain in its shadows. It's for you to decide which one is which.


Hint...McLaren F1 rules.
