The most powerful production car ever featured on Top Gear, the 1001 bhp (746 kW) Bugatti Veyron, has not yet been taken around the track by The Stig. According to Hammond, this is because Bugatti has not given Top Gear permission to run the car through a power lap.[17] This was confirmed on the Veyron's second appearance in February 2007, when Clarkson made an appeal to Veyron owners to let Top Gear borrow their car and allow The Stig to take it around the track, offering up to £30 to do so.[18]

im not sure it could crack the top 10
it may be fast and powerful, but it weighs quite a bit and the track they run on doesnt allow top speed to come into play

this car is the 'busa of cars... utterly unimpressive at anything below it's top speed.
