How To Make a Mercedes SLR McLaren Look Slow

Nathan, here's an article on the Barabus TKR:

very cool, but has anyone seen things on the barabus tkr. Supposedly it does 0-60 in 1.67 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. However at $4 Million Euros or $1,172,000 US it better be fast. Costing about the same what would you rather have a Bugatti or an Enzo?

Sorry, that should have said 'comparing' not 'comparising'!

For those that like the SLR, this is a really interesting clip comparising the SLR and the SL55 (which is several hundred thousand dollars less). And for those that don't know about Top Gear, it's a very well known car show in Britain.

I think the Mercedes was holding back there...

You understand that I'm only bitter about the Veyron because I can never afford it. :lol: It's a fast "car," but it's just not my style I guess.

The Bugatti just looks like a car right out of Total Recall or some other sci-fi flick. Kind of like the 2 cars at the top of this page...

The race is unfair really. obviously the Bugatti Veyron faster than the SLR. On the other hand, I prefer SLR since it good looking as compare to the space age Bugatti. :grin:

A chap in England crashed his Veyron after only owning it for a few weeks. It even made the evening news.

why not spend 50k and get a car that is faster than a veyron? I present to you the ultima GTR. check times out here: http://www.ultimasports.co.uk/records/part6.html

@Kevin: The Veyron is still faster than the Zonda, by quite a bit, actually.

Great video to watch

Bugatti Veyron! :twisted:

I'd like to see a batmobile go up against a Veyron (i.e. the batmobile in Batman Begins).

This could also be called "How to make a Bugatti Veyron look ugly"... just put it next to just about any car in the world!

Also, I'd love to see how the thing does when they take some corners.

I heard lambo had a faster car than BV, izzt true?

I admit, I don't know a lot about cars, but I do know how much they cost and that's more than enough info for me.

actually if you watch the video, you can see that the driver of the mercedes doesn't know what the hell he's doing in that powerful car.

He totally fumbled the gears when he was supposed to hit it.

You can even see the drivers frustration of his crappy shifting skills.

Watch it again, folks, I wouldn't bet on this video...

To fast cars and faster women... :lol:

You waste your money if traffic jam is part of your city...

I wish I could get into cars, but every time I see one, I think of other things I'd rather spend a boat load of money on :)

Sadly the Veyron would run out of juice way before the McLaren

Haha the Mercedes didn't stand a chance. That's not even a fair race lol but I love the Bugatti one of my favorite cars :grin:

Both of them are amazing cars, but the veyron is probably the best car ever. Odd looking, but amazing engineering.

That's awesome!

That race was over before it even started.

The Veyron is barely a car. you can't feel sorry for the SLR owner, they went into this "race" knowing the Veyron would own them. The Bugatti costs over twice as much, have 4 turbos, and a W-16 engine. I mean, come on.

Holly shit :shock:

I feel sorry for the SLR owner :razz:

As an after thought, I'd like to see it go against an F1 car. Now that would be something
