We have been talking for some time about the Veyron on the Top Gear track and a lot of people have their opinion on the matter whether it would be the fastest car they've tested yet. We now know they haven't (yet) driven the Veyron on the track because they could only get a mule in the show.

This poll is to show how many people think the Veyron will pull it off.....




I've been compairing some power-to-weight ratio's of the cars featured on the Top Gear test track and to that of the Bugatti Veyron.

You can see the ratio becomes gradually less from the Zonda F to the Vanquish S. If you then picture the PWR of the Veyron which is 0.53 bhp / kg combined with four wheel drive It should have a reasonable chance of beating the time of the Pagani. But still...The difference between the Zonda F and Veyron is just 0.04 and the Zonda S got passed by plenty cars with a lesser ratio. And the Koenigsegg has a ratio of 0.56...... So in the end my guess is it will be somewhere in the high 1.17

Pagani Zonda F 1.18.4 PWR 0.49 bhp / kg
Maserati MC12 1.18.9 PWR 0.47 bhp / kg
Ferrari Enzo 1.19.0 PWR 0.48 bhp / kg
Ariel Atom 1.19.5 ? PWR 0.25 bhp / kg (0.38 in tuned mode)
Porsche Carerra GT 1.19.8 PWR 0.44 bhp / kg
Ascari KZ1 1.20.7 PWR 0.37 bhp / kg
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 1.20.9 PWR 0.35 bhp / kg
Ford GT 1.21.9 PWR 0.36 bhp / kg
Porsche GT3 RS 1.22.3 PWR 0.28 bhp / kg
Ferrari 360 CS 1.22.3 PWR 0.33 bhp / kg
Murcielago 1.23.7 PWR 0.35 bhp / kg
Zonda 1.23.8 PWR 0.44 bhp / kg
Koenigsegg 1.23.9 PWR 0.56 bhp / kg
Sagaris 1.24.6 PWR 0.35 bhp / kg

Evo FQ 400 1.24.8 PWR 0.29 bhp / kg
Gallardo 1.25.8 PWR 0.35 bhp / kg
BMW M5 1.26.2 PWR 0.28 bhp / kg
Ferrari 575 GTC 1.26.8 PWR 0.31 bhp / kg
Chevrolet Corvette 1.26.8 PWR 0.27 bhp / kg
Aston Martin Vanquish S 1.27.1 PWR 0.28 bhp / kg

I haven't adjusted for wet times, I just took the times from the Top Gear site.
