Virginia authorities are aware of the viral video and want to put an end to speed displays like this one

Car and coffee events across the country often end up being newsworthy. But in this case, it’s not a crash that’s making headlines, but rather a very short drag race between a Cybertruck and a Lamborghini. Despite the brevity of the competition, local authorities are rebelling against precisely this type of conduct.

The event happened a week ago and this video is from the aftermath. As attendees leave the Boro venue in Tysons Corner, Virginia, a blue Lamborghini Aventador roadster is the center of attention. The driver stops at an intersection, runs a red light, then turns to stand next to a Tesla Cybertruck.

The Lamborghini driver revs his engine and falls behind the Tesla driver in what may be the least interesting drag race ever. That’s mainly because this whole thing lasts less than five seconds as both cars head toward another nearby red light. Traffic is blocking their path, otherwise they could have just lit that fire too.

Either way, the video has already been viewed millions of times online and the police are none too happy about it. According to FFXNowstate law enforcement is trying to add laws that allow them to more harshly penalize people associated with this type of conduct.

“Our suggestion or proposal essentially adds language into the racing law that supports our ability to indict everyone involved in these activities…and significantly increase the penalties, which include impounding vehicles and things like that.” , said Deputy Police Chief for Operations Robert Blakely.

At this time, it is not known whether authorities have identified the drivers of the Lamborghini or the Teslaalthough we think it won’t be too difficult to find them. At least none of them crashed, and we don’t have to deal with more serious consequences like injuries. This is far from responsible behavior from two people with clearly more money than sense – but, on balance, it could have been worse.
