So why does the Veyron take second place in our race to 200 mph? It all boils down to this: It simply does not have 1100 bhp at its wheels, as the Hennessey Viper does, and it weighs half a ton more. But in the race to 1 mile, the Bugatti is quickest, beating the Hennessey by a tenth of a second. It streaks through the mile in 25.9 sec. at 204.4 mph, whereas the Hennessey does it in 26 flat, at 220.9 mph. So in initial acceleration, the awd Veyron still has no peers, beating the Hennessey Viper by 1.1 sec. to both 100 mph and the quarter mile, only to lose out soon thereafter when boost and grip simultaneously peak for the Hennessey's high-speed benefit.
