Autocar - First for car news and reviews

You’re about to read a watershed road test: not simply because it’s of the fastest road car in history, but, in all likelihood, it’ll remain the fastest road test ever. Until we strapped our equipment onto the McLaren F1 no one knew how fast it was. Now we do, because we’ve driven it beyond 200mph, and timed it to the last hundredth of a second.

Sorry to disappoint. Not in my dream garage. Veyron every time.

my fave ultracar.  nothing at all to do with that BMW engine.

fave feature is the 3 seat layout.  mid-positioned driver is genius... once you're in it, but great for passengers either side.

love the custom tools, CD player, gold lined engine bay, custom luggage, 24 hr helicopter mechanic service, etc.

not to mention the accidental racing legacy!

a expensive car but one of the best
