Ever heard the one about the squirrel who could outrun a Lamborghini?<\/p>\n
As stupid as it sounds, this is what happened when a Lamborghini LP670-4 SV going over 100 mph was out on the track at the California Speedway in Fontana.<\/p>\n
The feisty animal put its foot on the gas to charge across the speedway and managed to emerge from the meeting with its health intact.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact the supercar was breathing down its neck, the creature kept its cool and allowed the metallic orange vehicle to pass.<\/p>\n
Since being posted on YouTube, the video has gone viral and the plucky squirrel has become something of a cult figure.<\/p>\n
Elie Rothstein, one of the owners of Al & Ed's Autosound – which hosted the event – told the Post Game: "We had cameras set up all over the track. Only a couple days later do we see this. And I was like, 'What?' It blows your mind."<\/p>\n
