I don't know but personally I don't think the Koenigsegg will topple the Veyron except maybe for top speed. With the Veyron's all wheel drive I can't imagine the Koenigsegg even hooking up properly until like 100mph+ or more. It was already having problems with the previous 806hp version. But it should be a fun race to see. I guess the sweeds weren't happy with losing the top speed record for a street car to the veyron!!

....but yeah, it should if it don't break, but I read somewhere it only mustered a 10.8@138 and the 806hp ccx is 9.9@146 but thats just bench racing, they need to do an old fashioned, no bs, dual out between those cars to find out the best. CCXR FTW!!!

Bench racing makes sense! Those are some super sick numbers for the CCX too, if it could hook that would be impressive. I'm sure you've seen that episode on top gear when the Stig swallowed the tire wall, too bad they couldn't make that thing AWD, add a little weight but not as much as the Veyron. How sick would it be if they made the Veyron run on E85??!!
