  • The McLaren F1 is better because it has resisted in the time!

  • sa fim seriosi sunt 15 ani intre ele veyron bubuie de tehnologie are 4 turbosuflante f1 nu are pe vremea lui se baza pe forta bruta oricum daca cursa avea loc acum 15 ani veyron era mancat

    F1 best car ever

  • nice hairstyle, Hammond

  • @3:49 CAR ON SIDE OF THE ROAD

  • BMW M-Power the best engine ever made!

  • The F1 is a legend, built so many years ago and it can still teach the latest supercars some manners.

  • blonde witht the striped dress at 0:10 is stunning

  • funny how the 2 top comments are the same one hahaha

  • SO THE F1 IS 15 YEARS OLDER HAS 373 HP LESS NO LAUNCH CONTROL NO TURBO (VEYRON HAS 4) AND UP TO 200 KM/H WAS WATCHING THE F1 TAIL-LIGHTS AND THEY TELL US THE VEYRON IS BETTER....NOT TO MENTION THAT COMPAIRD TO THE F1 THE VEYRON IS UGLY

  • Am I the only one who find the the Bugatti ugly? Yes, everything about it just screams "excess", the engine's horsepower, the interior, the price, but then the body looks like a rounded off 2002 Mercury Cougar.

  • McLaren F1 = roughly 1000 KG.

    Bugatti Veyron = roughly 1900 KG

    had to be said.

  • @folerx of course, mclaren f1

  • Check Engine is on! Lol.

  • I'd take a Mclaren F1 over a Bugatti Veyron ANY DAY for all time.

    F1 is So much more sexy and beautiful looking, the Veyron is frankly ugly as hell.

    Who cares if the Veyron can beat it by a couple of MPH at top speed, no one would EVER be able to drive any of these cars at top speed.

    You have to do it on special test tracks and you'd almost run out of fuel before reaching that top speed.

  • One observation I have to make about the Veyron is that it may be faster in a straight line, but they haven't tested the McLaren through corners as far as I can tell.

    Also I think the Bugatti doesn't look nearly as pretty as the McLaren.

  • Concord of the road he is right and not the F16 oh no thats the Mclaren F1!

  • And the Bugatti is not a "no compromise" car. How didn't they compromised with that luxourios interior?

  • 1:10

  • 15 years and thats how far we got????? thats it?!?!?! mclaren was greatly ahead of its time and its still a beautiful car thats pure car

  • who cares about drag. throw a curved track and it would've been a different story. no wings popping then lol. veyron is fast, but only on a straightaway

  • @The1uRunFrom This is just false. The Bug can hold its own an any racetrack just fine. Despite the fact that if I won the Powerball tomorrow one of the first things I would do is buy a Mac F1 and fulfill a boyhood dream (I would also pick up a Porsche 959), there is simply no denying technology has come a long way in 20 years (wow, the Mac really is 20 years old) and that the Bugatti is the pinnacle of how far that technology has come.

  • @The1uRunFrom both cars are similarly slow on corners actually. They would get beaten easily by a proper race car.

    And what does the veyron wing have to do with straightline speed? lol

  • @nixxxon18 it has somthing to with down force

  • @The1uRunFrom Pretty much like every single car ever ever made by the U.S then ?

  • @hzuiel - "You gotta pay to play".

  • The mcclaren had carbon fiber body panels back then? And we're still driving around in our clunky metal and fragile plastic cars in 2012. Yay for progress.

  • Comment removed

  • @hzuiel lol..so very true :)

  • Apparently the Bugatti overheated the first few times they tried the race it.

  • The guy who posted this video should stop riding the Veyron's balls so hard. The damn thing is a cheater car, its got 4 turbos (and it still barely beat a naturally aspirated engine!)

  • the funny thing is that the mclaren F1 still more expensive than the buggati veyron. and the Mclaren is 16 or 17 years old if im not mistaken. the buggati veyron is an awesome machine but the mclaren was a project that will never be done ever again. Mclaren F1 will always be remembered as the greates super car ever made by man.

  • @alvarulanda The F1 is more expensive because its more rare, and is one of the only supercars that is still supported today.

    You can buy a beat up F1, send it to McLaren, and they will strip the whole car down to bare chassis and rebuild it from the ground up with either a rebuilt engine or a brand new engine and updated electronics and suspension.

    The Veyron is simply a work of art in technology and engineering. The F1 is a drivers car

  • McLaren: AD Government plates, Veyron: normal AD plates. Nice! :)

  • now lets pu da SSC in da equation then find da results and i think dis is pretty easy

  • 4:18 for race

  • Wasn't there a comparison between the "race car" McLaren F1 and Enzo on "Fifth Gear"? Where the cars were both owned by the same person? Google it. Yeah, the guy had the "road version" of the McLaren F1 "race car", the one they produced only 5 cars?

  • @hiazn69 yes it was.But they should of compared the normal Mclaren F1 to the Enzo.

    They compared the racing version of it , like u said.By the way that is called a McLaren F1 LM.It has around 680 hp compared to the normal one who has "only" 627 and it's also lighter. They should of compared the F1 LM with the Ferrari FXX to be a fair comparison.

    Anyway both are amazing.

    As 4 the Veyron , it isn't a driver's car ,it's just an expensive PIECE OF JUNK.

  • Don't matter if the McLaren is slower in the mile, would still rather have the F1. Although it doesn't matter since I can't afford either! LOL

  • there was a limited edition version of the mclaren f1 that had more power that would beat the bugatti in a drag race i think there was only 5 made so i dont think we will be seeing that battle anytime soon

  • @shredmaster100 i think thats the LM you are thinking of it had like 48bhp more than the standard f1 but was a little slower in a stright line, but owned the corners. i think some people seem to overlook the f1's ablity to be an everyday roadcar but also what the racing versions accomplished in Le Mans.

  • yeah it was a great sports car and ive seen that theres a faster version of the veyron availiable now that will do 267mph so that is epic

  • you know hammond would of done better if he lowered the spoiler before he set off in the veyron

  • I'd rather have a McLaren F1 than a turtle

  • Mclaren is still king the benchmark

  • how do you pay in the toll booth if u're sitting in the middle?

  • @weeks87 :D haha

  • @weeks87 get one of the fit bird/super model sitting either side of you to hand it over.

  • Well, the Mclaren f1 was such an advancement for it's time, Nothing compared. These days the veyron has competition such as the Ultimate Aero (and soon to be Tuatara), The Hennessey Venom Gt etc. It just proves how much ahead of the times the Mclaren was compared to what the Veyron is now.

  • Bugatti vs. McLaren F1 GT would have been no chance for the Bugatti

  • @bafadrique Bugatti will still win actually.

  • I was about to say I was gona get played again but I never saw that ending of this match b4 thynx becuz usually top gear would say hilarious dialogues at the end

  • Just so everyone is aware - this test is without the Bugatti's launch control - hence the poor start

  • hey how come they never try lap times on a circut, oh wait, the veyron cant turn... silly me

  • @jmore5099 actually, the veyron is very good around corners mate. goes to show you dont know shit.

    dont get me wrong, in every sense i prefer the mclaren f1. i buy tattslotto 2 times a week minimum in the hope of winning just to buy one LOL

    but i hate when people are so biased towards cars. but i like the fact you dis the bugatti as most people here overrate it so much.

  • @deshanridesscooters really becaus last time i checked 1800 kilograms doesnt fly around the s-bends without a front spoiler. The F1 weighs just over 1100 kilograms and the aerodynamics are far better than the veyrons bulky front end wich wont help in the corners either. Plus the suspension isn't exactly superb on track corners, although the ride is smoother on public roads. Also never tell me i don't know shit about cars.

  • @jmore5099 F1 cars weigh 640KG FYI.

  • @blainyrules ...thats formula 1 cars FYI

  • @jmore5099 top gear did ages ago, it was quick, but not the fastest.

  • F1 still wins IMO. The Bugatti needs 4 turbochargers, ~1200 bhp just to have set the record, and the car is 4WD and it weighs as much as an small SUV. The F1 has around half that bhp, and it is normally aspirated, and it comes close to the record. PS, I ca't wait until the Agera R will shit all over the Veryon when it gets it's speed tested properly.

  • @BagofbombsStudios The Agera R tried and failed at taking the record back from the SS. It only beats it to 200mph, and holds the record only because SSC doesn't feel the need to take it just yet.

    This test is purely for entertainment purposes. In a real race the Veyron will never see the F1s taillights.

    The Veyron is pure luxury is every since of the word, the F1 is a bare bones super car.

  • Though the Veyron did have a fairly pedestrian start, I think the only thing this video proves is that in terms of pure performance, the McLaren is just as good as the Veyron at real world speeds, and definitely way ahead of it's time. It does more with less, and is probably more fun to drive.

  • the bugatti has to much overweight^^

    because of that i dont like it. it would loose on every racetreck against

    a gumpert,pagani,mclaren,mosler.­...

  • the mclaren is so much cooler then the bugatti

  • where's the first battle :s

  • "LADY HAMMOND" LOL!

  • Lets see who wins in an circuit lap.

  • @Dcarnys Agreed.. Speed has nothing to do with real circuit racing.

  • Да с 10 попытки как в следствии после сказали!))))

  • Just a show, the veyron has 0-60 in 2.5 sec....

  • "and you sit - slap bang - in the middle" ;D

  • I like the McLaren F1 because one it doesn't use turbos and also it had a good lead like in the first 1/4 mile

  • Erm...this isn't the SECOND battle.

  • The Mclaren has no idea about how much 0 - 60 = sc. all what's know it's vs poor bugatti

  • Why people treat the Bugatti like it is a God? Its ugly for one and it doesn't win in every race it goes in. When I look at Nurburgring times all I see is Porsche's and Ferrari's. The Bugatti has a time of 7:25. A Porsche has a time of 7:03 and it is a V6! Porsche>Bugatti.

  • @banddude121 So you judge how good a car is by Nurburgring times? A Porsche 956 racing did the Nurburgring in 6:26. A radical SR8 did it in 6:48. But those were racing cars tuned and built especially for the track, and while both are street legal, neither of them is good for a nice drive. The Bugatti has comfort, and could beat either of them in a flat out drag race. Personally, i don't like the veyron, i think it's ugly, but I do respect its engineering perfection.

  • @EugeneCamilleri No I don't judge them by their times but it shows that a V6 can destroy a V16 on a track. People think that the Bugatti can beat anything but it can't. I also think it is ugly. If it would have been more good looking i would like it as well.

  • @banddude121 Not a track. The Nordschliefe. An impossible track filled with corners. On Monza, or Catalunya, the porsche would stand no chance. Also, I repeat, the Veyron used there was a standart, untuned veyron, while the Porsche was one made especially for racing. Also, the bugatti is VERY luxurious. I don't think it can beat anything. The Aventador, Atom, McLaren MP4-12C and Pagani huayra can all blitz it round a track. But it is still a marvel of engineering.

  • 4:39 warp speed engaged.

  • mclaren>veyron. mclaren is absolute soul, veyron is trash imo.

  • @TooDamnDope How is it have you not seen a veyron without its skin, its an engineers wet dream it does 253+ mph but is refine comfortable admittitedly the later ones are too spangly but the early ones are very refined in design

  • 1million pounds, 1000hp, 252mph!!! built utterly without compromise!!!

  • Mc Claren for 1/4 & 1/2 mile drags but Bugatti Veyron for 1 mile drags. I know which one I'd pick to pull up to the lights with

  • Next on BBC2.....lol

  • fucking veyron cheated opening its D.R.S

  • "meh meh meh, maclaren f1 would have won in the quarter mile" oh shut up. I could have won the first 20 centimeters on foot. Why can't people just accept the race for what it was.

  • In my opinion mclaren wins because its gonna be faster in race tracks, see start for first 200km/h +++ and it has not DRS button.

  • fuuuaark

  • Ford GT1000 has 1100 HP.

  • @Dreaklock bugatti supersport has 1200

  • Yeah, I'm sure Hammond is a good driver by the standards of the average motorist but given the fact The Stig is tasked with the most difficult driving on the show is it unfair to assume he may be a somewhat superior driver to Hammond?

    It isn't just about the car it's about how the car is driven.

  • It will be total fail for bugatti owners if McLaren will stop next on the stop light and its owner ask for race....

  • You can just feel that speed..

  • IN THE WORLD

  • Bugatti Veyron - 0-60mph = 2.5 seconds ... 0-200km/h = 7.3 seconds ... 1/4 mile = 9.9 seconds

    Mclaren F1 - 0-60mph = 3.2 seconds ... 0-200km/h = 9.4 seconds ... 1/4 mile = 10.8 seconds

    liking something doesn't change reality, hammond didn't launch the car properly and probably eased up a bit to make it a fun race to watch, because by all rights the veyron has it beat from 0-400km/h+ unless something was slightly wrong with the car, or something was tweaked with the F1.

  • @laurence265 balls, 2.5 seconds to 60. that cars a heffer. never going to manage that in real life.

  • @jadoremuffins It is actually. Through the magic of Launch Control.

  • I vote we twin-turbocharge the BMW V-12 and retry this race...

  • I accidentally right clicked on the time bar O and it was misplaced! LOL.

  • I think i'd still want the mclaren. Just for the nostalgia. Someting about the veyron makes me think of asshole oil princess who live in spastic luxury while the rest of their country starves.

  • 15 years...and is still the fastest non turbocharged car in the world!!!

    i'd ike to see the result of a quarter mile race..as most races are quarter mile..

    i'd also like to see the f1 go round the top gear power lap!!!

    i think it will beat the veyron. quite easily.

    TO ANY F1 OWNER....PLEASE LEND YOUR CAR TO THE STIG...

    I'M SURE EVERYONE WILL ENJOY

  • from 1994 to 2009 and this is the only difference in speed between the world's fastest cars? Its a shame... lol.

  • @Nik84811 no its not its just the way the showdown was made

  • @Nik84811 I prefer McLaren F1 to that ugly fatass that is the Bugatti Veyron but you're dumb. You don'T know shit about physics if you say so because the faster you go, the harder it is to accelerate so you need more power and technology.

  • @Nik84811 go learn some physics...

  • @Nik84811 lol... the F1 doesnt have all the luxury the veyron has...

  • @Nik84811 Besides the drivers.

  • @Nik84811 They are made for completely different purposes, the Bugatti is refined and has lots of things extras that you don't need on it. The f1 is stripped down simply for driving

  • @Nik84811 people need to afford the darned things ;P

  • stick 4 turbos on the mclaren then redo the race. then we can see a fair race this is like a honda s2000 vs a gtr skyline

  • God I wish they took the f1 around the Top Gear track.

  • Lets put them on a circuit like Brands Hatch, then we'll see who's king.

  • @gsherlock

    The veyron will winn on a circuit.

    The veyron don't look like a sportcar and is heavy but it is a good car with many stabilisizing electronics.

    Maybe that the f1-lm of gtr winn on a circuit.

  • the trifonic song kicks ass

  • who does a mile long drag race anyways haha!

  • i thought the F40 was the first carbon fibre bodied car...

  • The Mclaren f1 would have won in the quarter mile.

  • @VirtualSuperSoldier haha not against the new Bugatti Veyron ss

  • @VirtualSuperSoldier They went a mile, so they did travel a the quarter mile as well.

  • @VirtualSuperSoldier I thought i'd just point out that some japanese folks tested both of these cars in a 1/4 mile, Veyron = 9,95 sec, Mclaren F1 = 11,14 sec

  • I'll take the one with a clutch and shifter, I prefer to do my own rev matches thank you very much.

  • ALL YOU BUGATTI HATERS CAN SUCK IT INCLUDING THE IDIOTS WITH THE TOP COMMENTS

  • Put them on a track and we will see who is who..... Nurburgring for example...? I WOULD PAY TO SEE THAT!!!!!

  • Sorry Bugatti! Koenigsegg agera r just owned you :)

  • @ijnec I don't think so the Bugatti Veyron Super sport came out and it will do 268mph so BUgatii Wins

  • @coolman84567 Koenigsegg argera r is 273 mph...

  • Now do SSC VS Supersport

  • Koenigsegg is going to FUCK UP that veyron....6 world records broken with that car!!!! that oncludes a 200 MPH time of about 17.5 secs....THAT´S 2 SECONDS FASTER THAN THE VEYRON

  • Comment removed

  • I wonder... The Veyron Supersport vs the Koenigsegg Agera R... which would win...

  • i would have the F1 over the veyron

  • Come on people don't be so mean on the veyron.. :P

    I myself used to think that mclaren was the best but the veyron well It lost here coz of richard, accept it

    veyron not only has a higher top speed but accelerates much faster as well + it has got loads of comfort and tech as well, it is the most comfortable car to be in, in the mclaren one has to use headphones to communicate not in the veyron, n it can do 253mph even after a couple of decades, it is designed to live for decades n still max..

  • I'll still take the mclaren. try cornering in the bugatti. or stopping.

  • From 0 - 60 mph, the F1 is faster, right??

  • @fctsui57 in that race...yes...cause Richard didn´t use lauch control

    using the launch control, the 0-60 time of the veyron is 2.5 secs...the Mclaren´s like 3.6 or something

  • IM IN LUV WITH THE MCLAREN F1 SINCE I WAS 5

  • Well, mind is still faster than everything.

  • ok im not a big fan of mclaren or buggati but just face it buggati is faster :P but mclaren looks much cooler,and i would rather have mclaren then buggati :)

  • its cuz volkswagon couldnt make an engine that had any power without 16 cylinders and 4 turbos... germans...

  • the maclaren has more accelaration and the bugatti is just faster full stop :D

  • The "Bug" tag on the Bugatti best describes its look.

    I'm pro for the F1 for pure Race car and for not cheating with four turbos.

  • what season and episode is this ??

  • McLaren have already said "after the mp4-12c we do have other projects" just wait bugatti (or silly american cars that last 1000 miles then explode) we shall see what one of the worlds best funded R and D labs can do with a bit of carbon fibre, probably a v12 and a McLaren badge....

  • McLaren is giving a chance to bugatti... coz if they make new McLaren F1 Bugatti will got FUCKED....................

  • McLaren F1 i love you baby

  • Who here would prefer the Mclaren to the Bugatti

  • Mclaren F1 THE LEGEND

  • forgot his booster seat when he got out of the macca...

  • Jermey Clarkson:

    You take Mclaren F1 to 120MPH and cross the line where bugatti is standing still. And Bugatti will beat Mclaren to 200MPH, now just imagine how fast is that.

  • haa, doesn't matter what car, you can't beat the stig

  • black and white dress...

  • they had to do this test many times because 9 times out of 10 the mclaren won :P

  • @mlgprotipsy is there any 'proof' of this claim? I would love to see it. Always preferred the F1!

  • @mlgprotipsy ya um...no?

  • @mlgprotipsy ya um...yes!

  • @mlgprotipsy Really??

  • @AxisGrenadier YES really.....veyron is still an epic car......not as good as the mclaren

  • @mlgprotipsy Buen nivel!!!!!! Aguante el McLaren!!!!!

  • @mlgprotipsy where did you get this information? you can clearly see that the veyron taking the F1 over with so much more power and speed. don't get me wrong - I LOVE THE F1. but it is what it is -> the veyron is faster.

  • @backlit01 information from top gear :p

  • @backlit01 by the way the veyron overtook the macca right before the finish line :P

  • @mlgprotipsy No it didn't.

  • @mlgprotipsy biggest lie ever.

  • the mclaren is stil the fastest porduction car. The bmw v12 on it is naturally asporated...the bugatti is the fastest production car with forced induction...4 turbochargers

  • @juancho939 Sorry to say, man, but the BMW V12 on the McLaren is supercharged.

  • @ryvoltz WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?1 dude, you don´t know anything about cars!!!! that is like saying the engine in the Bugatti is a V16!! NO THE V12 IN THE MCLAREN IS NOT SUPERCHARGED!!!! The mclaren is the fastest NATURALLY ASPIRATED car in the world! that means NO turbos nor superchargers

  • @juancho939 I thought I had read somewhere that the McLaren F1 had a supercharger. I was wrong, though. But I do know something about cars. Enough to tell you that the McLaren is the fastest naturally aspirated car, but it doesn't have the best naturally aspirated engine. You see, Ferrari's F355 had 107,3bhp per litre, against McLaren's 103,4bhp per litre. Just for you to take it easier when posting a comment. ;)
