No, you didn't misread that headline - Christian von Koenigsegg took a turn behind the wheel of a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 to test it against one of his own creations. A Koenigsegg CCXR was put to the test in a rolling start race, and a Sept. 16 YouTube video from Trust gives us a look at the race from a few different angles. The two tear down an airstrip, and you can see the power of the Veyron's g-forces snap von Koenigsegg back in the driver's seat.

There aren't many supercar creators who spend time driving one of their competitors' cars, and even fewer who will drive that car against their own. When you take into account how few supercar creators there are in general, that just makes this all the more impressive. Compare the two cars' specs below, check out the video above and find your own Bugatti or Koenigsegg for yourself from our exclusive listings.
