Seeing as how the Mclaren doesnt have an official lap time at the 'ring in Germany yet, its tough to say. The 911 GT2 RS currently holds 5th place in fastest lap times there, though, at 7:18 flat. Estimates put the MP4-12c at almost exactly that.

The Bugatti is a luxurious speedster for the ultra wealthy. Its more a status symbol for the VW group than anything else, as they lose money on each one made, not really an all out track car. Its there to showcase modern engineering capabilities.
