This time on Mumbai’s Coastal Road at 9:15AM this morning. Do these cars even have traction control? From catching fire to losing grip, what’s going on with Lamborghini?”
The text overlayed on the clip shared by Singhania reads, “Their cars not only catch fire, they don’t have grip as well. What’s wrong with these cars?”

“The car skidded after which Shah lost control and crashed. He was not reported injured,” said senior police inspector Arvind Patil.
Officials have requested the Regional Transport Office to conduct a mechanical inspection of the vehicle.
Previous incidents on the same stretch
This accident is not the first involving a Lamborghini on the Coastal Road. On 25 December 2024, another model of the Italian supercar caught fire on the very same stretch. Flames engulfed the vehicle before fire brigade personnel brought the blaze under control in 45 minutes. Fortunately, no one was injured in that incident either.
