The Bugatti Veyron is one hot ride. It’s one of the fastest street-legal cars ever built. The Veyron has a top speed exceeding 250 m.p.h. In a race, it can blow the doors off almost anything. And it better be fast, given its $1.2 million sticker price.

But what if the Veyron’s opponent has no doors? What if instead of a driver’s seat, it has a cockpit? The BBC’s auto-enthusiast show Top Gear asked that very question. The show put the Veyron up against a Eurofighter Typhoon. The British Royal Air Force fighter has a top speed of 1,500 m.p.h.

The two vehicles must complete a two-mile drag race. Both start from a standstill at the end of a runway. It’s the most unusual drag race I’ve ever seen.
