The F1 is faster off the mark than the Veyron as it takes a little while for the big beetle to sort itself out, but the F1 is much, much more beautiful in its design.

It's still as jaw-dropping now as it was then. The sexiest thing on four wheels ever, and I just love it, as much now as I did then. The Veyron and others may go quicker, but I think the McL still has it. Just beautiful.
