Stradman\u2019s Veyron embarrassed by $2m SSC \u2018Megacar\u2019 YouTube: TheStradmanSince buying his Bugatti Veyron, YouTuber TheStradman has been planning a head-t0-head race. In his September 24 video, his wish finally came true, but not with the results he was hoping for. Having purchased his first-ever $1m hypercar in the form of a 2008 Bugatti Veyron, YouTuber TheStradman \u2013 real name James \u2013 had been itching to race it. The problem was finding a contender that gave the 1001hp Veyron a fair fight. Well, it turns out that Stradman got far more than he bargained for in the form of the SSC Tuatara. Costing almost $2 million, the SSC Tuatara is labeled as a \u2018megacar.\u2019 Sitting atop the automotive hierarchy, the Tuatara is a mind-bending ultimate speed machine. \u201cNever in a million years\u201d Powered by a 5.9l twin-turbo V8 engine, the Tuatara trumps the Bugatti\u2019s power output by a significant margin. Putting down 1,350hp through the rear wheels, the \u201calien spaceship\u201d Tuatara is one of the fastest cars on the planet. With Stradman himself calling it \u201cthe hypercar to dethrone all hypercars\u201d it was clear from the outset that the Tuatara would be more than a match for the Veyron. \u201cI don\u2019t really have an ego, I know that Tuarata is going to wallop me\u201d said Stradman. Having an open runway to work with means that both of these automotive giants could be put head-to-head in a safe environment. With James clearly gushing over the SSC, he was \u201cliterally getting chills\u201d as he \u201cnever thought in a million years (he\u2019d) be filming this video.\u201d When it came time for the two cars to go head-to-head, it made for an interesting race. Initially, the Bugatti had the SSC off the line, and it looked like Stradman was in with a chance of winning. \u201cOne of the coolest things I\u2019ve ever witnessed\u201d Unfortunately for him, once the SSC was past \u201c100 or so\u201d it managed to gain complete traction on the runway and sped off into the distance in dramatic fashion. The Bugatti eventually reached 242mph, but was unable to catch the Tuatara. Despite losing in dramatic fashion, Strad said that their race was \u201cone of the coolest thing I\u2019ve ever witnessed in my entire life.\u201d Clearly not upset with losing, he said it was \u201ccool to be a part of history\u201d as this was the first time the Tuatara had ever been in a drag race. If Stradman\u2019s previous history is anything to go by, don\u2019t be too surprised if we see him start to chase extra power from the Veyron\u2019s insane W16 engine soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
