Top Gear decided to race a Bugatti Veyron, a car that has four turbo chargers, 1000 horsepower, does zero to sixty in a little over two seconds, goes over 250mph, costs 8.8 million USD to build the first prototype (costs about 1.1m USD to buy the commercial model), and has 12 separate radiators to shunt all the heat the car makes… vs… a Cessna 176, or as they call it, a flying toaster, in a race to bring truffles from the south of Italy to London.

I won’t spoil the race, but its funny as hell, and is the full episode, all 60 minutes of it. Its quite worth watching, and possibly one of Top Gear’s best.

Update: Nooo! Google took the video down!
