Remember that video of the 700 something HP GTR racing the Veyron, and the GTR got walked, as expected?

Well…here’s round 2 of the Bug vs GTR fight:

> **[Bugatti Veyron Vs. Nissan GT-R, Round 2](https://jalopnik.com/5559304/bugatti-veyron-vs-nissan-gt-r-round-2)**
>
> Last time the Bugatti Veyron went up against a 735 hp Switzer P800 Nissan GT-R, the Bugatti walked it like a dog. Now we've got a GT-R that's running "right" and it obliterates the Veyron at a drag strip.

Personally…I think something might be off…the GTR just rockets away all of a sudden. But maybe the Bug hit his brakes?

The Bugattis has several power settings, I doubt he was at the ‘1001’ setting when they raced IN THE RAIN the first time. In fact I doubt it was on the true 1001 setting in either run.

The Buggatti does not have power settings. It does have a top speed key but this only effects aerodynamics mostly drag and lift. These effects are more pronounced as speed increases.

Most likely the Bugatti is plagued by its on board traction control system in the wet. If its anything like any other VW traction control algorithm its probably at 50-75% power at the slightest hint of wheel-spin.

That being said. it still appears to win the second race and then hit the brakes before the GTR goes by.

IIRC… The different settings affect how much HP is used by the car, also prevents the spoiler from comming up in Top Speed mode.

right, Clarkson goes over the different power levels at the different settings int he TopGear review.

The street setting is 8xxbhp IIRC.

Also pretty sure the

“Top Speed” settings doesnt change anything aero on the car besisdes the spoiler… Although I wanna say i recall airducts/opening getting bigger but that could just be me dreaming
