[FAST FREDDY]

the McLaren F1 won the 1/4 mile race but lost the mile race. that was sweet. i figured it would have been the opposite. we already know which car wins the top speed race......

[92builtbird]

I knew the bugatti would reel him in.

[dan03mach]

Took it long enough... lol

[NiteRiderWS6]

and i know this is the street racing kills section i thought i clicked multimedia my bad

[mulalleybs]

I can't watch the vid, but i thought bugattis did 0-60 in 2.4 seconds or something? In anycase what do both vehicles run in the 1/4? and in 1 mile too if anyone knows.

[DiscerningZ32]

I watched it on sunday, but that race result was kind of expected IMO.

I thought Hammond's Hyundai was hilarious too.

[hugger1975]

that was sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Very cool video. Bugatti is about a 10 sec car over the 1/4. dont know what the McLaren runs, it looked quite a bit faster.

lol N/A 612 hp car vs W-16 quad turbo.... not bad at all considering everything. I still <3 the McLaren.

And the SSC Ultimate Aero TT is the fastest production car in the world....

Love top gear, never fails to entertain.

[The Manalishi]

The McClaren is 15 years old so it did well. I'd like to see where the Konigsegg fits into the mix since it beat the McClaren and the Bugatti is the car that dethroned it. I don't have any experience with any of them but it would be interesting to see.

I agree on both, I have always loved the F1, and want to see those two + the Aero(the certified fastest production car also originally using an LS motor)

[DoggyB22]

both are bad ass cars. but that turbo lag is what got it. and then it kicked in. + the McLaren is lighter

[Viscious]

There's no turbo lag at all with the veyron. It was the weight that gave the advantage to the mclaren out of the hole, but as explained in a previous episode of top gear, the faster you go the more power you require to go that speed. The veyron had the 400 extra ponies to go the extra 20-30mph, but the mclaren had the couple hundred less pounds to get out of the hole quicker.

Great show, I want to see a 3 way with the CCX, then I'll die happy.

[billyflantos]

anybody want to race from 0 to 320 kilometers....lol

[whytryz28]

I don't care that Mclaren would kill the Bugatti all day in the real world. Who has a perfect 1 mile straight to run on the streets?

Not a fan of the Bugatti since all the hype about it.

[Spoolin]

I'm still surprised the F1 got out of the hole quicker. The Bugatti has a 0-60 of 2.8 seconds and AWD?

[ChevyChad]

I knew that outcome before I clicked the link. The mclaren hauls ballz thru its first few gears, but takes forever after that to get up to its top speed. Has everything to do with the weak rear end gear ratio of the mclaren. 2.37 gears were only put in back then to achieve the top speed. Thats pretty useless in the real world. I think if the mclaren had the same 3.64 gears the bugatti has, the mclaren would have won the whole damn race! Still, a badass race, and very entertaining tho! Nothing is ever gonna change my opinion of the mclaren being my all time favorite car

All the children on the top gear forums are complaining that the Arabian heat had more to do with it than anything else. I luld
