The Bugatti Veyron is a legend.
Not only does it hold 2 current Guinness World Records for fastest street-legal production car—fixed-roof and roadster, naturally—it stands as a testament to what engineers can attain when fed unlimited amounts of cash and told not to return till they’ve built the super-est supercar.
Your little ones will don’;t forget the Veyron’s name.
Of course, that implies that any hot-rodder swinging wrenches on supercars sees the Bugatti as a target. When you’re a member of the thousand-plus-horsepower club, the Veyron isn’t just a legend.
It’s a benchmark.
Which brings us to this video, shot by Richard Fowler. Richard’s wild orange Lamborghini Gallardo LP-570 Superleggera is a supercar in its personal right: It is the most lightweight, sharpest version of Lamborghini’s angular Gallardo. The LP-570 produced 562 horsepower stock.
Richard’s Lambo is not stock.
This Superleggera boasts an Underground Racing Stage 3 twin-turbo kit, sending an astounding 1250 horses to the wheels. As you will see, that is sufficient to completely trounce a 1001-horse Bugatti.
Yes, roll-racing is sort of cheesy, and no, we’re not acquiring the YouTube poster’s claim that Richard “waits nearly 2 seconds to go following the Bugatti requires off from a roll”—from where we’re sitting, that just appears like turbo lag.
But all of that aside, you cannot argue with the details: At this specific 1/2-mile runway race, the Veyron got spanked. And as Dom Toretto taught us, winning’s winning.
