Ultimate Supercar Showdown: Top Gear – McLaren F1 vs Bugatti Veyron Video
1990’s technology up against the 2000’s… which one will prevail… the 1001hp Bugatti Veyron or the 627hp McLaren F1 which was introduced in 1992? These Titans go head-to-head in a one mile drag race.
The Stig straps himself in the McLaren F1 powered by a BMW V12 and Hammond gets a grip on the big monster of-a-car, Bugatti Veyron. I don’t know about you but all of my bets are on the Bugatti. Watch the Top Gear video and see who takes home the gold.
