The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is a mid-engine sports car produced by Volkswagen AG subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS. It is the quickest accelerating and decelerating street-legal production car in the world, and it was the world's fastest car until it was beaten by the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.

Powered by a 1,001 PS (987 hp/736 kW) W16 engine,[2] it is able to achieve an average top speed of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph).[3] The car reached full production in September 2005, and is handcrafted in a factory Volkswagen built near the former Bugatti headquarters in Château St Jean in Molsheim (Alsace, France). It is named after French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti firm.

Eurofighter Typhoon

The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine multi-role canard-delta strike fighter aircraft. It is being designed and built by a consortium of three separate `partner companies' - Alenia Aeronautica, BAE Systems and EADS - working through a holding company Eurofighter GmbH which was formed in 1986. The project is managed by NETMA (the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency) which acts as the prime customer.[3] As early as 1979, studies began into what would become the Eurofighter Typhoon.

The Bugatti and Typhoon start out on a runway side by side.  The bugatti does a straight mile out, has to break and turn around, and then end at the start point. 

The Typhoon takes off from a dead stop beside the Bugatti, lifts off as quickly as possible, climbs one mile straight (or as close as possible), turns in mid air, come back down along the runway to cross the starting point.  The jet does not land on the runway but finishes the race in the air.
