What most people fail to realize is the fact that the Mclaren F1 had a different intention then the Bugatti. The Mclaren was supposed to be an everyday sports car while the Bugatti was supposed to be a GT car. More importantly though, what makes the Bugatti so impressive is the drivability of the car. About everyone on this forum can point out a car (Supra) that can easily beat the Bugatti in a straight line or a corner (Lotus Elise). But the fact is, the Bugatti is much more userfriendly and not as terrifying to experience as is the case with every 1000-plus horsepower tuner car I've seen on the road. The Bugatti is an engineering masterpiece in it's ability to combine raw speed with such ease of drivability. For reading pleasures, there's an article out from Evo Magazine that compares the Enzo Ferrari, Porsche Carrera GT, Pagani Zonda C12S, and Bugatti Veyron. It's an interesting read for those who are interested in knowing the comparisons between the four supercars.
