McLaren

Tough choice. I'd probably go for the McLaren... It has more character.

I don't think those acceleration figures are correct (0-62 km/h?)

No, you are correct

Haha, yeah that's probably a typo where they meant mph. I'd pick the McLaren too because it's more sports oriented. For a daily driver, though, I'd have to evaluate how much comfort the LM gives way for its performance before making a decision (we all know the Bugatti will be a better daily driver).

Easiest. Poll. Ever.

McLaren F1 in half a heartbeat. Veyron, while being a technological marvel, means nothing to me.

Since I tend to lean to the comfort side in general, I voted for the Veyron.

Mclaren without any doubt because it is a true sport car, light powerful and performant with a fantastic engine (i am not saying the w16 is bad but i prefer a fantasctic atmospheric V12 to quadraturbo w16). Sure the bugatti is a monster of performances but it's too much heavy to pretend to be a pure sport car (i am sure a Mclaren will destroy it in circuit), in fact i think it's the best GT ever made.

Have the Bugatti Veyron's top speed been verified? Or is everyone just taking company figures at face value? There were a number of exotic car manufacturers in the 1980s who claimed to have built the then-fastest 220mph-plus sports car..

The Mclaren is far better than the Veyron. The Veyron is a big heavy lump and would probably get beat on a track by a Lotus Elise. It's just my opinion, but I think the Veyron is ugly. It looks like a whale.
