Pitting two extremely powerful supercars against each another in a drag race will always attract viewers, and when the two vehicles are the LaFerrari and the Koenigsegg Agera N the audience will definitely be big.

On paper, the two hypercars look evenly matched: the V12-powered and electrically-assisted Italian thoroughbred has 950hp, while the Swedish rival has 960hp from a twin-turbocharged V8.

Furthermore, both cars are rear-wheel drive and have similar dry weights: 1,255kg (2,767lbs) for the LaFerrari and 1,330kg (2,932lbs) for the Agera N.

The race took place at the Vmax Hypermax event held at the Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in the UK. We won’t spoil it for you, so head down to the video to find out which of the two monsters was faster.
