Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Carrera GT: Virtual drag race

Watch this virtual drag race of a Bugatti Veyron and a Porsche Carrera GT against a McLaren F1, Ferrari Enzo and Fords GT. Great!

Now that we have actual performance numbers for the Veyron, it's trivial to compare them with those of the existing supercar constellation: McLaren's F1, Ferrari's Enzo, Porsche's Carrera GT, and Ford's GT. Just look 'em up, right?

But what would such a supercar showdown look like? Well, that's another issue. Even if you could cajole, trick, or bribe these five into a high-noon face-off, witnessing them perform their best quarter-mile runs simultaneously, side by side, is nearly impossible. There'd inevitably be a missed shift here and an overcooked launch there to spoil the whole thing. However, through the miracle of Motor Trend's 3D Virtual Road Test, your fantasy is our command.
