This is the second time when the industrialist raised concerns about Lamborghini. Earlier in October 2024, Gautam Singhania claimed that Lamborghini’s latest V12 flagship, the Revuelto, was susceptible to electrical issues. Singhania shared his experience while test-driving the model, which reportedly broke down on Mumbai’s Atal Setu bridge.
In another incident that took place in Gujarat’s Surat, a 42-year-old man, Deepak Patel, was burned to death after his car caught fire while he was driving. The accident took place on Udhna Magdalla Road.
Despite the swift arrival of fire engines, the rescue operation was hindered by an explosion in the vehicle, preventing the firefighters from reaching Patel in time. The car was engulfed in flames, with fire crews working to extinguish the fire at the scene.
