Bugatti Veyron and McLaren F1

I have been a huge fan of the McLaren F1 since the very first rumors of this car came out around 1991. Designed and conceived from Formula One this car was the first production car to reach speeds of 240.1.

The features that I remember from the unveiling were the fact that it had three seats with the driver in the middle of the center of gravity, a gold foil liner for the engine to protect the cab from heat, and the V-12 BMW engine. Now there are many design facets that exist today that still make it look more modern that some of its competitors, but the neat thing about them is they are all functional in the overall design of the car.

Now the Bugatti is also a very attractive car and it out performs the base McLaren. But I think I still would want to get the McLaren just because it was the first Supercar that I really paid any attention to.
