A recent drag race between a Tesla Cybertruck and a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster has taken the internet by storm, but it also led to some serious consequences for the drivers involved. The race occurred on October 13 and was filmed by @CCJMedia.
In the video, the bright blue Aventador and the futuristic Cybertruck can be seen blocking traffic on a busy highway before they accelerate in a head-to-head challenge. The Cybertruck, with its distinct sharp design, managed to outpace the Lamborghini, showcasing its powerful performance.
Elon Musk caught wind of the viral video, which gained over 150 million views on X, thanks to a post by Mario Nawfal. Musk humorously tweeted, “Cybertruck can beat a Porsche 911 while towing a Porsche 911!” This playful remark stirred excitement among fans but also drew the attention of local law enforcement.
The Fairfax County police quickly identified the drivers of both vehicles and charged them with illegal racing and obstructing traffic. They were released on an unsecured bond, but the police are still searching for a third person who was involved in starting the race.
In terms of specifications, the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck, specifically the Cyberbeast model, boasts an impressive 845 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds. In comparison, the Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster has a naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 730 horsepower, taking about 3 seconds to reach 62 mph.
This high-stakes showdown not only highlights the incredible performance of the Cybertruck but also serves as a reminder of the risks associated with street racing.
The combination of Musk’s social media influence and reckless behavior on public roads has made this incident a topic of discussion, leaving many amused yet concerned about safety on the streets.
