A heated debate has long since been underway by the fanatics of the Bugatti Veyron and those of the McLaren F1. Both companies claim their car to be faster and more efficient. According to //AutoWeek//, Greg Kable declares that, “the French-built coupe aims to dislodge the decade-old McLaren F1 as the world’s fastest road car.” The F1 has a top speed of 240.1-mph and a 0-to-100-km/h (62-mph) in 3.2 seconds. The Veyron has a top speed of 252-mph, beating the F1 by 12-mph, and a 0-to-100-km/h (62-mph) in 2.9, beating the F1 by three tenths of a second.
