@Jiron127 – obviously not, as if the distance had have been shorter the McLaren would have still been ahead! Try them both around a track.

Incredible acceleration.

Altho Mclaren is my all time favorite car of the 90′s the Bugatti is my favorite in the 00′s. Also the veyron won the race by a full half a second. Im sorry to say this but the veyron could’ve won the race right from the start.

@petecabrina

Everyone is having a go at hammond. When i first saw this, I talked to my mate who saw this too. He said ‘The Mclaren is lighter so it has better acceleration, despite the fact the Veyron is quicker 0-60 mph’. That is clearly bollocks. If a car is quicker than another 0-60 and 0-100, well than it has better acceleration. Don’t people realise that it’s a show, Hammond deliberately didn’t use launch control to make the race closer. The veyron was always gonna win.

@gelatin25

The bugatti goes from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds – that’s the fastest in the world, no acceleration is quicker on terms of production cars.

I find it really irritating whenever Richard Hammond says ‘Bugatti’ because you’re supposed to say ‘Byoogatti’ but he says ‘boogatti’. Also he says ‘Miles an aaa’ rather than ‘miles an hour’ and ‘Horse baaa’ rather than ‘horse power’. Love the car, the new Super Sport i heard about about half a year sgo – none of my mates believed me.
