Opinion:
I would like to conclude that both cars are considered two of the best sport cars in the world and if I had the chance to choose one as my favourite it would be really difficult, but if I had the money I would prefer to buy the Bugatti Veyron because it has a better performance than the Porsche 911 Turbo.
