Damage control
Social media influencer Sanjeev clarifies car is safe
Initially, it was believed that the car had been completely destroyed. However, Sanjeev later clarified that the damage was "minor." He said in a follow-up post, "The car is safe. It was a small fire and we managed to control it quickly." The cause of the fire remains unknown, but it has reignited concerns.
Past incidents
Similar incident happened in Mumbai last year
This isn't the first time a Lamborghini has caught fire in India. A similar incident involving a Revuelto model occurred in Mumbai in December 2024. The incident had raised questions about the reliability of these high-performance machines. Notably, this isn't the first time Singhania has criticized Lamborghini either. Last October, he slammed Lamborghini's India and Asia heads for not reaching out to him after his test drive experience with another model in Mumbai.
