Not too sure about that, the Veyron is bloody quick around a track. Think about it, 6-7 years ago when the new Top Gear appeared, times of 1:20 were super fast. So I doubt a 18 year old car could beat 1:18 or whatever the Veyron did. The race itself wasn't a good comparison, they put the Stig into the McLaren because it must take a hell of a lot more skill to drive than the Veyron. If they had 2 Stigs, the results could be different. Either way: The 2.4L V8 used in the new Atom. Revs past 10,000rpm. Soulds like they've just made a road legal F1 car.
