Veyron vs Nissan GTR

[Jean]

From EVO.

The Nissan GT-R is a quick car by most standards. In fact, with all-wheel drive and traction control system, it's frighteningly fast. Pull up next to just about any other car at a stoplight and you'll undoubtedly come out ahead. That is, of course, unless you happen upon a Bugatti Veyron. The Bug matches the Nissan's AWD system and doubles the number of turbochargers and horsepower. As our man Jonathon put it in his first drive of the Bugatti Grand Sport, you don't accelerate in this car, you evaporate.

While a heads-up drag race between the GT-R and Veyron is an unlikely occurrence in the real world, Evo Magazine took it upon themselves to pair the two cars on an open airfield. Just how much faster is the Bugatti than the Nissan? Watch for yourself after the jump.

I can't stand the GTR ever since it came out, and this just makes me funny in the pants

having been on a track with a GTR, I have to say:

yes, they are fucking fast

no, I don't want one

yes, the guy driving it was as much of a douche as you'd expect

I think it's great that Nissan has the balls to build something like that though

[namsayin]

You're missing the point. You know the GTR was going to lose.

The point of the video was to show by how much and give you a real sense of how fast a Veyron really is. Numbers are just that. Numbers. At least until you experience them.

By now I'm willing to say that a few here can already say they've gotten a ride in a GTR and can vouch for how fast it is. Since probably no one here can say they sat in the Veyron for a drag race, this video will give a feel for how ridiculous fast the Veyron really is.
