  • richard failed the start ultimatly

  • Nearly 20 years and we managed to knock a whole 1/2 second off.........YEEAAAHHHH

  • mclaren f1 is still the greatest car of all time

  • @kiloah92 no it isn't anymore, its just great

  • The Bugatti Veyron may be the biggest waste of Power, The Mclaren has a V12 Engine the Bugatti Has a W16 Engine and 4 turbochargers, just a shame that Bugatti didn't use a lighter and better looking body for that 1000+ HP engine.

  • @ChaoticAssass1n better looking? its all about aerodynamics. they both cut through the air well thats what matters and you can only make a w16 engine/car/chassis so light before theres a drop in traction from too much power

  • "1 million pounds, 1 thousand horsepowers" - too bad it isn't the other way around...

  • @thelaughingmadman one million horsepower would explode the car if you so much as looked at the gas pedal

  • @rupertacdc Not if the engine and car was dimensioned for it :) But it was a joke.

  • As much as I love the F1 the race was rigged . A Veyron would annihilate the F1 in a drag race, especially off the start .

  • @n00kz I don't think Richard ever inserted the special key that allows the Veyron to be on maximum attack. If he did, the Veyron would completely destroy the F1!

  • @Nunoelement that special key only helps with top speed not acceleration. it just makes the car more aerodynamic

  • I've always had one basic objection to the Veyron: It looks shit. Of these cars I'd take the F1.

  • i honestlly dislike the bugatti for a day to day car ...if you scratch it u need like 10000 pounds to repaint it not to mention fuel consumption + u dont have the room to unlish 1001hp and not to mention there a lot of imbecils on the road that can hit your car / scratch it

  • @boxajr well obviously if u can afford the car, then service/maintenance will not be a problem

  • @ujusgotownd i know but srsly if id had 9999999999 bilions i wouldnt buy this! 16000 cc on the bugatti engine in my country taxes / year on that car would be 10k euros ..why the fuck do i have to pay 10k euros to my goverment just to drive my car Just because this i wouldnt buy one even if id have all the money in the world ! id rather use those money to become president and make my own rulles :)) then prob id lower taxes and buy it =))

  • What about the f1 lm gtr vs the veyron?

  • I doubt that if McLaren made a new F1 that it could go faster than the Veyron, not because the Veyron is the best but because, as of right now, there aren't any road going tires that can last at 268 for any amount of time. I prefer the Veyron because of all it's features, it goes like a bat out of hell and yet your in absolute comfort.

  • 0:37 Lady Hammond, anybody noticed?

  • The Bugatti is a Monster!!! but big Ups to the old more expensive F1, you put up a fight to that monster... I hope soon the'll be new F1 to smoke the Veyron!!

  • the f1 has the worlds uglyest rims

  • The race starts at 3:40.

  • Bugatti is an ugly car.

  • hmmm which car to take to work today HAHAHA

  • Only just eh boys PMSL :)

  • Epic Beyron :O

  • Kidadam4 what you need to take in factor that stig is a better driver than hammond and that buggati never used start control which helps on time

  • Take that 1001 HP, 2.5 seconds 0-60. Which car was ahead for 75% of the race? Oh, the car from 1993 with over 300HP less and half a second less to 0-60.

  • Comment removed

  • That was amazing. The F1 was WAY ahead of its time. Way to go McLaren. Took a long time for the Veyrons HP advantage to show itself.

  • hahahah every1 talkin about areo tt from america or what ever its called, the new veyron just fuked up that record and fuked that stupid areo car hahaha, eat that amercians !!

  • mclaren f1 is much better than bugatti cause its only using 1 engine buggatti has 2 and is alot newer in technology if mclaren f1 make a super car again itl beat the buggatti so badly example v.w engines are poorer quality than bmw engines and are weaker less torque and throttle response but still bugatti isnt bad and in the real world is more user friendly and can b used daily x

  • you guys know that being in a car that cna doover 235mphs or about 370kph is a thrilling ride... i will always rate that bugatti veyron 16.4 over any other metal contraption.... 5 stars for my fav car =)

  • I love the veyron, it's an incredible car and he looks very nice either! Also Top Gear is a fabulous program! 5 stars

  • How About The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

  • @hopkin104 how about a Veyron GT.. LOL

  • damn man, the F1 must have beat the Veyron not only to 60, but to 100...

  • Ultimate Aero SSC would eat both those cars,... and where's the Koenigsegg, that's what took the title from the McLaren not the Veyron...these cars are just more iconic,.... I suppose that's it really

  • @Flabernat Ultimate Aero would be beaten by these 2 in acceleration, and is beaten altogether by the new Bugatti Supersports.. and not only that but it wouldn't stand a chance in a 1 mile drag race with these 2. (Veryon 0-60 2.5 sec, Aero 0-60 2.7 sec)

  • @jameskuk The SSC Ultimate Aero TT weighs just over 2700lbs and has 1287bhp, 0-60 in 2.78sec, 1/4th mile in 9.9sec. There is no way the Veyron 16.4 weighing more than 4100lbs with (only) 1200hp would win. And the F1 has less than half the hp of the Aero and only 200lbs lighter..... Just doesn't add up. SSC Ultimate Aero TT is the fastest car in the world for GOOD REASON.

  • @Flabernat Firstly lets get things straight. The Ultimate Aero's latest record was broken by the new Bugatti Veyron Supersports. That car has an official top speed of 268 mph smashing the Aero's 257mph. Therefor it is the new fastest production car of them all. I don't know why it also beats the Aero to 60 in 2.5 seconds.. perhaps the gear box is better engineered and so can channel the power better through tighter ratios. I don't even understand why it is faster!? but fact is, it holds the rec

  • Only 5 Veyron Supersports out of the 30produced are capable of 268mph, plus that record was recorded little over a month ago. When TopGear made this film the Ultimate Aero TT was still the fastest in the world. Obviously things would be different if they made a more recent film. TopGear was quick to over look the Aero, I'm sure they'll have something new about the fastest car in the world now that it's a Bugatti again.....

  • @jameskuk

    the aero has wheelspin problems, which limited the 0-60 to 2.57s.

    they also stupidly set 1st gear to redline at 58mph, which means the guy proly had to waste another 0.5s shifting again.

  • 2.78s my bad srry

  • "I don't know this is the real world" hahaha

  • The F1 is the best car in the world, I fell in love with it since the first time I saw it in 1993, and I`m still in love with it now.

  • @HD2009Muscle What makes the Mclaren F1 even more perfect is the driving seat in the middle, the golden plated engine so dreamy & the noise as the F1 accelerates though the gears, definietly a legendry supercar.

  • Other then the speed or any performance mclaren looks amazing from the outside but the bugattis interior is nice

  • Mclarens acceleration is so much better than the bugattis!! All u idiots saying it's not are appearently blind and didn't see the video! The bugatti barely won!

  • Comment removed

  • @AnonymoussourceL0L

    No mate the Veyron does 0-60 in 2.5 too after that the caparo is faster (until it reaches it's top speed of 205)

  • bugatti doesn't deserve the win. The Mclaren is proof that you don't need a million horsepower to get it up to speed

  • I Would Still Have The Mclaren Hands Down

  • err No ...Veyron is faster than the F1 from the moment they begin moving 0-60mph Veyron=2.5 secs, F1=3.2 secs, 0-100 mph Vey =5.1 F1=6.3, 0-200mph Vey= 18secs F1=28secs .. after 100mph the F1 is a limp dick .. the F1 is so twitchy on the limit even race drivers say it's scary ...every person commenting here would be faster on any race track in a veyron ...drive the F1 for more than an hour and youd have a numb ass and be deaf ... F1 = race car , Veyron = Complete Car !

  • @PablooDee no the veyron does 0-60 in 3.0-3.4 seconds. 2.5 is what you get from a Caparo T1

  • I'd just love to see a veyron on race track.. that thing was made to go in a straight line,thats it. it would get handed by an F1 on the track, anybody can tell you that. Do u think its easy maneuvering 4500 pounds around corners????

  • from 200 and up... torque and motor makes the difference. Veyron was design just to prove what level's the technology at. Its only pure power

  • McLaren F1 is N/A if it was turbo it would take back its title

  • The two cars are pure genius so stop arguing i would take them both :D

  • Very nice. I wonder which car has better braking

  • veryron is auto

  • Who else just creamed their pants?

  • @BigAussieBloke69 i just did

  • @BigAussieBloke69 I did I did meeee!!!!

  • @BigAussieBloke69 ME ME ME ME LOL

  • @BigAussieBloke69 *watched clip* Changed pants. *watched again*

  • 1992/2009 all those years, all that technology, all the money, and still it barely takes home anything. A bare bones car with zero technology gets barely beat by the space shuttle. The Bugatti is straight line rocket without a doubt. But on a course or track of any kind you had better put your money on the F1. the bugatti corners like a fat chick on a skate board. Sounds like the F1 is still the king super car if you check the numbers and include the fact that it is almost 20 years old.

  • F1 still looks better!

  • lady hammond....lmao!

  • wouldnt really, 

  • the f1 is faster in acceleration look it up. the veyron has a higher top speed,1000hp and awd but the f1 is still proof that light weight and high power are tough 2 beat. the f1 still holds the title 4 fastest non-turbo,non-supercharged supercar

  • The Veyron beats the Mclaren in every timed graduation right through its speed range, the only reason the F1 beats this off the line is because they made Hammond disengage the launch control system to make it competitive and the fucking Pommies don't liketo see their old car get fucking thrashed by the most highly engineered masterpice of the modern era. Nothing on the road is as luxurious and easy to drive that fast as a Bugatti Veyron and why wouldn't it be for a price tag of 1 million plus.

  • lol how can mclaren even take credit with a bmw engine? lol

  • @badass147 the bugatti has a vw engine so what r u sayin

  • @eastside0till3i1die I guess I'm sayin everyone's a thief... btw I saw a Phaeton today, on my way to Syracuse!! W12 :O :D:O

  • @eastside0till3i1die The Bugatti Veyron's Engine is two Audi V8's creating it an 8.0 Litre, W16

  • the veyron beats the maclaren f1 in every aspect

    watch?v=xJExeRXmtNg

  • the hennesey viper beat the veron at a quarter, half, and full mile in motor trend's test, but i agree, the f1 is a tribute to true unadulterated driving.

  • @grimvamp04 a tuned car vs a stock car as plain stupid.

    The veyron is car meant to run at such speeds and have such performance for years, not 2-3 runs before remaking the engine.

  • EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The Veyron looks fucked

  • not fair at all and still....

  • The F1 car was made in what 1993?  If they remake another F1 car, it would eat the Buggati Alive.

  • @kempowarrior

    i agree with you :)

  • @kempowarrior no because it will be heavier due to safety regulations and other stuffs

  • @InitialDAmine I have to disagree with you. If VW, I mean Bugatti can do so can F1 It all about having the money, resource and right engineers.

    Try to think positive in life, if there is a problem, there has to be a solution for it.

  • @kempowarrior VW have way more resources than mclaren , and it was no problem for them to sell the veyron at a lose as long as it showed what they are capable off, and brought bugatti on top of the cars chain. just watch this documentary

    watch?v=j6cyk9mQWM4

    Mxlaren needs to win money on it car

  • @kempowarrior and if they remake bugatti in 15 years will happen the same..it's about tecnology avalible at that moment both cars are really beautyfull

  • @macgaby2007 That is exactly what I mean. New technology and better material is usually better than old one.

  • @kempowarrior

    mclaren are making the p12, which is released in 2012 and expected to cost more than the original at 600,000 GBP.

    the veyron's reign is short lived.

  • @kempowarrior there will be a new mclaren F1 it's called the McLaren mp4-12c

    i hope he breaks the speed record because that way buggati will make a new car to break the new record and that will be a 500 km/h car HOPEFULLY xD

  • @kempowarrior *bugatti

  • @kempowarrior you cant really say that. cuz cars isnt like a pc program with updates and performance boosts. if you wanted to surpass the veyron you would need a whole new design a more powerful engine and basically a WHOLE NEW car. 

  • @kempowarrior correct, ass kicking machine

  • F1 Mclaren is faster than the Veyron the last part wins the Veyron,gif me the Mclaren;)

  • dont fuck with the veyron. lol

  • Not prepared¥

  • Hammond vs stig is not fair ...

    Hammond gives full trothle if he drives 140 km/h , cause he was prepared to the power from 0-100 kmh . He told this in a interview.

    Sorr for bad english im from the netherlands(holland)

  • The Bugatti V. By far is the most exhilarating car on the planet. I currently own one and I must say that the pulling power from take off equals that of a father pulling a rope from a grass hopper!

  • Sure, everyone who owns a Veyron starts telling it on YouTube. GTFO

  • That has gota spur mclaren into having another crack at making worlds fastest production car again surely, and no the P2 or whatever their naming it now does not count. Does anyone agree?

  • cooooooool

  • After this years... The F1 teach the Veyron what is a fast car...

  • how is it possible that the f1 car accelerates faster? it dosent have a higher torque then the veyron right:O

  • is there a clip of these two cars in a track race? (not a drag race)

  • i love both cars but if i had the choice it would be the mclaren but since i dont have that much money ill just hate the sultain of brunei who has 5 of them.

  • the bugatti's a good car although the audi ultimate ssc is much cheaper and faster

  • @badboomer2 but not better quality...always keep that in mind when comparing the two because they are in two completely different leagues

  • brilliant , just surprised at how the Bugatti didn't beat the McLaren on take off ,its 2.6 seconds to 100km and is a car made more than 10 years ago faster than that even with the weight to power ratio on take off

  • the mclaren doesnt stand any chance against the veyron! i think they just wanted to make it more exciting

  • 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile

    that bugattii would have lost to the F1 :O

  • I'm quite surprised how Hammond pwned The Stig. lol.

  • Lamborghini Diablo SV and that Mclaren are my 1990's ideal cars... insanity, bare, mean-looking, and just plain scary.

  • song from 02:26 to 02:48 isn't that from requiem for a dream?

  • take the F-1 any day any time any color

    my absolute dream car

    = )

  • WOTM MKIV would take both on the straight line, corners would definitely go to the super cars unless its Godzilla.

  • Despite the loss, Im a McLaren fan ALL THE WAY!!! Faithful as I can be.. Big ups to the Bugatti tho.

  • i love top gear!!! they're awesome!!!! I liked a lot the Bugatti, and now there's a bugatti sedan called 16C Galibier.. CHECK IT OUT!!

  • I'll take the F1. Form as function.

  • Wow, I'd rape them both. :/

  • lil wayne has one

  • this is abu dhabi not dubai..but thts just being picky! love top gear!!! love these two beasts!

  • Who are these morons that mention Lexus in the same sentence with McLaren and Bugatti (hell even BMW, Mercedes etc.)? A glorified Toyota has NO BUSINESS HERE. None at all.

    Word to the Lexus fans: SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  • @jakemiller5000 word to you, shut the fuck up...

  • Veyron alllll day long. I like the Koenigseggs. Sweden :) Respect to ALL Super-cars.

  • I hate the gay, epic music they try to add in there.... for f*ck sakes I wanna hear the damn engines screamin for dear life... stupid top gear.. trying to make it all dramatic. If you understand the cars you dont need music to make it dramatic..

  • f1 ix old model dude  veyron ix new imagin 2010 model mclarenn vs veyron it will kick it upp ...

  • as awesome as the Bugatti is, it's hard not to love the old timers more.

  • F1 the best but the Veyron is awesome too

  • I fully agree I like the MaClarren more than the Veyron. They are both monsters though!!

  • F1 all the way

  • F1 the best <3

  • Still F1 is the best car. It doesn't need 4 turbos, it doesn't need 8 extra cylinders... It only needs a good driver

  • @19ultima88 And dont forget, F1 dont need that AWD system too!

  • @ nordic beast

    with the spoiler down you dont get as much acceleration cuz theres not as much down force to get the power on the road so the merc might have one

  • the F1 has a great german BMW engine

  • 1/4 mile: F1 would kick the ass of the veyron!

  • @MTFDarkEagle no it doesn't and you are wrong there is a japanese comparaison, in where the veyron was faster than the F1 in every aspect, Hammond didn't launch the veyron at it full power that all to.

    watch?v=xJExeRXmtNg

  • @MTFDarkEagle i have a feeling Richard was playing around though

  • @MTFDarkEagle veyron is an over priced turd

  • mclaren f1 > all.

  • Whoa when the wing came up I had to pause and make sure I saw that.. But then again Im sure it cost 3 times the cost to maintain that damn car than to buy it... ( talking about the Bugatti)

  • they should of did the test with the spoiler down imo.

    either way..id still take the mclaren anyday...its a true driving machine..non of those fancy electronics

  • Holy shit that bugatti is ugly

  • Thats Abu Dhabi ,not Dubai.

  • abu dhabi is in dubai

  • @tacoonadio LOLOLOLOL hahahha ,my god ...do your homework man..i lived in abu dhabi my whole life and dubai for a year or 2. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are two diffrent cities run by 2 diffrent goverments ,and theyre more then 100 km away from each other...and Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE.

  • oh ok but arnt they both in the uae?

  • @tacoonadio yes ,theyre both emirates of the uae

  • I wanna see them do a Koennigsegg vs Veyron run. That would be epic.

  • Let's put this into prospective folks. The F1 is a SIXTEEN year old car, still hanging with today's best.

    Imagine the F1 competing with cars made in the EARLY 90's.

    Simply incredible !!!

  • MCLAREN FTW ! I would like to see the bmw engine from the Mclaren tuned by Gpower ! AHAHAHAHAHAHA !

  • and now the VW 1000HP engine tuned by MTM ... XD vw rules

  • Mclaren owns it in acceleration.. Put some nitro in it and it will own veyron on the long run haha.. i would too take Mclaren any day

  • there is nothing fake there. though the F1 beat the veyron off the line by a bit, that's just the nature of a big motor and alot of turbo power. That veyron needs some room to stretch it's legs unlike the F1 that is all motor.. the cars make power in different ways, therefore excelerate different ways.. honestly, for the power difference i'm surprised this was as close as it was in the end.. But I guess the awd and weight of the veyron own it a bit in the long end..

  • info: the SSC Aero is actually the fastest street legal car in the world. nevertheless the bugatti is an unique car. the bugatti just makes poor 253mph - the areo makes great 257mph :-)

  • @smugly666 actually the Barabus TKR is the quickest and fastest road-going car

  • @ ilovemyVeeDub8866: the Barabus TKR never made it above 240mph... they wanted to reach 270mph but i never saw a proof for that. show me :-)

  • Common, for being over a decade old... you got to give your respects to the MF1. If they had the tech back then, they probably would build something even better.

  • this guy has the greatest job ever!

  • i would rather have the mclaren F1 cause its the original supercar n can still keep up with a veryon with a all motor V12 even though the veryon won in the long run

  • Actually it's top speed is 255, the 400 is kilometers per hour.

  • McLaren F1 is the legend ! it also costs 2 mill pounds today !

  • dont think this is a fair test realy. the stig vs hammond? i think reaction times would be massivly different, as hammond isnt a racing driver and never could be

  • Stig is a road racer not a drag racer. I am sure both most likely have similar reactions for the launch.

  • look at the Mclaren pull away from the veyron at the start!...such an exceptional machine for something thats over 15 years old

  • who also fancies the mc f1 ? !!!!

  • Veyron is peace of shit!!! 16.4 V16 and 4 turbos and only 1000bhp pussy-ass car!

  • When the Bug is taken to LeMans and wins first time out, can lap a track as quickly as 1000bhp should , I'll be impressed. Technical marvel that it is, it's far too heavy to be anything other than a straight line hero. F1 wins in my book. And as money talks, I'll be the F1 will always be the more valuable car.

  • OK you CLEARLY have no idea abou engines. Yes they could have got more power from it (and they have done) but if they gave it 2000bhp that engine would have lasted no time at all. The Vayron was intended to be driven as much as possible, aka the engine couldnt explode if it wasnt serviced every 5 yards.

  • Sorry that was ment for the guy above you, kurikala

  • considering the fact that the Veyron has over 200 hp advantage as well as a decade on the F1 in terms of technological advancements, the Veyron didn't win by much . . .

    McLaren is still the best street legal track race car.

    2 million pounds huh? thats twice as much as an enzo and veyron cost . . . keep buying those lotto tickets?
