What happens when you have a blank check and the keys to two of the most exclusive hypercars in the world? Today, Mat is living every petrolhead’s wildest dream…

He’s flown over to Bugatti chateau, and then back to the UK, and he’s speccing two of the most desirable cars in the world – the Bugatti Tourbillon, and the GMA T.50!

First up, Mat pays a visit to Bugatti. Guided by one of Bugatti’s lead designers, he has to navigate a world of limitless carbon fibre, ‘standard’ paint jobs that cost more than a house, and a whole load of bespoke specifications which include adding 8(!) exhaust tips to the rear of the car! The question is, will he go for something sleek and minimalist, or will he choose to go for something that screams opulence?

As a reminder, the Tourbillon is powered by an 8.3-litre naturally aspirated V16 + 3 electric motors, and these combine to produce 1,800hp. It redlines at 9,000rpm, and it has a top speed of 276mph!

Then, things get personal. Mat heads to Gordon Murray Automotive to spec the T.50, and he’s not just talking to a salesperson – he’s sitting down with the legend himself, Gordon Murray! This is the spiritual successor to the McLaren F1, where every gram of weight is scrutinised. From the fan-assisted aero to the centre-seat driving position, Gordon guides Mat through the art of perfection through lightness, while also offering his own recommendations to Mat’s choices. He’ll also reveal his own bespoke T.50 specification at the end of the video!

The T.50 is powered by a 3.9-litre Cosworth V12, and it weighs in at only 997kg! It redlines at an incredible 12,100rpm, and it’ll come as no surprise that it’s only available with a 6-speed manual gearbox!

So one is a V16 hybrid monster, while the other is a lightweight V12 masterpiece focused on the pure connection between driver and road. The question is, which will Mat prefer? You’ll need to keep watching to see for yourself!
