A clip has gone viral which shows a Tesla Cybertruck vs a Lamborghini in a drag race and there’s an unexpected victor.

The video of a Tesla truck going head-to-head against a Lamborghini supercar is doing the rounds on social media, with even the Tesla boss himself, Elon Musk, reposting the footage.

In the 37 second video, viewers can see a Cybertruck, which costs around $60,000 to buy, racing a Lamborghini Aventador, which costs between $420,000 and $570,000, with the roar of the Lambo’s 6.5 litre V12 engine being heard as the vehicle builds up its revs.

In contrast, the electric Cybertruck is silent as it speeds off compared with the Lamborghini’s loud screeches.

And it might come as a surprise as to who came out on top in the race and - spoiler alert - noise does not equal speed in this case.

Instead of the Lambo supercar, it was the Tesla that raced ahead in the lead, managing to make it to the next traffic light before the Aventador.

Silent but deadly - the Cybertruck crushed the Lambo in a win that it can thank electric power for, as a POV angle from inside the petrol-powered car showed just how far ahead the Tesla was.

For reference, the truck's top model goes from zero to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds at its peak, while its opponent takes 2.9 seconds.

Essentially, Tesla vehicles have the ability to accelerate quickly due to a number of factors.

Its electric motors deliver the maximum amount of torque from a standstill, while internal combustion engines need to build up the power.

The high-capacity batteries and motor control systems on the Tesla also help to deliver the highest amount of power to the wheels, as the Cybertruck's all-wheel drive also gives it an impressive amount of traction.

In the video, we can also see that the Lamborghini has a semi-automatic gearbox, operated via flappy paddles on the back of the steering wheel.

It could mean that the driver could have timed his start poorly, affecting the result and giving the Tesla the upper hand.

Either way, paying less than a sixth of the price of the Lambo for the Cybertruck and being able to win a drag race is still impressive.

Reposting the clip, Musk took to his own social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to write: “Cybertruck crushes Lambo.”

He’s not wrong!
