HISTORY WAS MADE IN THE LAND OF SPEED. THANKS TO TOP GEAR.

A British car show called Top Gear made history in Abu Dhabhi, United Arab Emirates. They put together the fastest cars ever made, Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 and Mclaren F1 in a drag race.

Bugatti Veyron is the current fastest production car, and the McLaren F1 was the fastest production for 14 years until, Bugatti came out in 2008.

The Bugatti Veyron has a 8.0 liter W16 engine with 4 turbo chargers, that produces 1001 hp. It does 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed 253 mph (400 KPH). Bugatti being the fastest production car is also the most expensive costing $1.6 Million. Well, you don't pay all that just for performance, the interior is full of leather and everything else that looks likes its from space, in other words it look like a 1.6 million dollar car from the inside.

The Bugatti normally runs on 500 hp. However, there is a special key which is inserted by the door, when you do so the diffuser flaps close and rear spoiler retracts and the whole car lowers down and then the car gets its full 1001 hp. That's why a general car has 1 radiator the Bugatti has 10. Only 200 Bugatti's have been produced since 2008.

The McLaren F1 has a 6.1 Liter V12 BMW engine, which produces 627 HP and reaches the top speed of 240mph(390 KPH). McLaren was the first carbon fiber bodied car. However, the interior is very simple, it has no gizmoz compared to the buggati. What is does have is a seat in the middle to give you a thrilling driving expereince. Another intresting thing is that McLaren's carbon fibre body panels and monocoque required significant heat insulation in the engine compartment so there was a gold line installed because gold is a high reflecor of heat. McLaren costed about $900,000 in 1998 today it would cost you more then double. In 2008 a british autombile company actioned it for 4.1 million dollars. There were only 106 cars manufactured.

Well, now you know why these cars cost a lot and why they are worth the price. So lets see you won the race.
