Until the Veyron, the McLaren F1 held that spot the longest for a whopping 12 years - not bad considering the increase in speed of technology advancement... before the McLaren F1, only one car managed to keep the record for double figures - the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona (1968-1984).
Also keep in mind the F1 is naturally aspirated. I still reckon the F1 is a class act even even though it will kill you
