The Bugatti Veyron is a legend.

Not only does it hold two current Guinness World Records for fastest street-legal production car—fixed-roof and roadster, naturally—it stands as a testament to what engineers can achieve when fed unlimited amounts of cash and told not to return until they've built the super-est supercar.

Your kids will remember the Veyron's name.

Of course, that means 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 LP-570 Superleggera is a supercar in its own right: The most lightweight, sharpest version of Lamborghini's angular Gallardo, the LP-570 made 562 horsepower stock.

Richard's Lambo is not stock.

This Superleggera boasts an Underground Racing Stage 3 twin-turbo kit, sending an astounding 1,250 horses to the wheels. As you'll see, that's enough to thoroughly trounce a 1,001-horse Bugatti.

Yes, roll-racing is kind of cheesy, and no, I'm not buying the YouTube poster's claim that Richard "waits nearly two seconds to go after the Bugatti takes off from a roll"—from where I'm sitting, that just looks like turbo lag.

But all of that aside, you can't argue with the facts: At this particular 1/2-mile runway race, the Veyron got spanked. And as Dom Toretto taught us, winning's winning.
