Officials have not yet determined the cause of the fire or confirmed the number of occupants in the orange-colored luxury vehicle at the time of the incident. A video of the burning car shared by Gautam Singhania, Chairman of Raymond Group and a known car enthusiast, quickly went viral, sparking concerns over the safety standards of high-end vehicles like Lamborghini.

Singhania posted the video on social media, showing flames engulfing the cabin of the car while a man attempted to douse the fire. Along with the footage, he expressed his dismay over the incident, questioning Lamborghini’s safety measures. “For the price and reputation, one expects uncompromising quality, not potential hazards,” he tweeted.

The burning Lamborghini bore a Gujarat registration number, further raising questions about whether the car’s maintenance or modifications could have contributed to the blaze. Despite the dramatic visuals, authorities have not yet disclosed the specifics surrounding the incident, including whether it was caused by mechanical failure or external factors.

Luxury car fires, while rare, have occasionally been reported globally, often attributed to overheating engines or electrical faults. Such incidents highlight the need for stringent quality checks, particularly in vehicles of this price and reputation.

The Mumbai fire department confirmed the situation was under control, and no casualties or injuries were reported. As investigations continue, car enthusiasts and the general public await answers about what caused the blaze in the high-end sports car.
