It's a fantasy race spawning tens-of-thousands of auto fan-boy arguments: Which super car wins in a balls-out drag race - the Bugatti Veyron or the McLaren F1? Top Gear found out last night. Now it's our turn below.
Behind the wheel of the 1001 horsepower Bugatti Veyron: Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond. Behind the wheel of the 627 horsepower McLaren F1: The Stig. The race took place on a very dry, closed stretch of road in Abu Dhabi. If you just look at the power figures, you might think that the Veyron would outright crush the F1. However, the F1 weighs significantly less than the Veyron, roughly 1651 lbs. (749 kg)
So which wins? the 1001 HP Bugatti Veyron with all the techie bells and whistles? Or the 627 HP McLaren F1 thanks to a 1,500 lb lower weight?
