Bugatti Veyron vs Nissan GT-R - Click the image above to view the video after the jump
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.
