1/4 Mile Drag Race: Bugatti Veyron vs Nissan GT-R

If there ever was an automotive version of the battle between David and Goliath, it’s this, a bout between the quad-turbocharged French smoothy coco frappe and the Japanese flying fish sushi with wasabi. And to make things interesting, you need proper strip of asphalt and the quarter-mile rule.
The video you are about to see what filmed at the Palm Beach International Raceway in Florida, and the main protagonists are a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 takes on a Nissan GT-R. Now, there’s not much hope of the GT-R defeating a rival that’s a twice as powerful and at least ten times more expensive, but it still pulls off something respectable.

The thousand horsepower W16 monster pulls off an incredible 10.1 second run at 139 mph, while the less powerful GT-R still plays the underdog game well and posts a 10.9 second run at 125 miles per hour.
