Top Gear Bugatti Video Vs Jet Fighter

Does anybody know how many Bugatti Videos Top Gear made? I've seen the one where they drive it across Europe and now this one. These videos are extremely fun, are there anymore?

I've watched this one and it's really fun. Buggati sent two cars that day to make sure that they don't lose, but still...well, it's a jet compare to a car, what do you expect?

I like it!
But at the price point of the Veyron, I would be so in to an Extra 300 or Edge 540.

older clip but fun, 200-240 knots and 8+Gs
