Stig Drives Veyron, World Doesn't End

If you've ever watched an episode of Top Gear you'll know about The Stig, his strange habits and amazing driving skills. Well recently The Stig mounted one of the world's most powerful road cars, the 16 cylinder, 64 valve, quad turbo, 736-kilowatt (1,001 PS/987 hp) Bugatti Veyron to see how it performed on the show's test track.

You'd think a car like this could out perform the current ranked car on Top Gear's test track, the Gumpert Apollo which posted a time of 1:17. Check the video below to see what happens when The Stig meets The Veyron, luckily the universe didn't collapse in on itself.

Watch out for the Veyron's rear foil as it changes angle depending on the required downforce, kind of like a plane's flaps.
