The Veritas had the same lap time as the much heavier 420hp Audi R8 and the Caterham R500 Superlight went around the track in 1:17. This doesn't make sense, especially considering that the 1001hp Bugatti Veyron did a 1:18. How does this work. petrolmom Wed, 18 Mar 2009 09:40:06 GMT http://answers.edmunds.com/question-What-makes-powerful-cars-fast-Top-Gear-Test-track-49833.aspx#comments Car Comparisons, Veyron 16.4, Coupe
