A Lamborghini car caught fire on Mumbai’s Coastal Road on Wednesday night, raising concerns about the brand’s quality and safety standards. The incident, which occurred near the Breach Candy signal, was quickly brought under control by the Mumbai Fire Brigade, with no injuries reported.  

The fire was first brought to public attention by industrialist Gautam Singhania, who shared a video of the incident on social media.

He also criticized the “arrogance” of Lamborghini’s Indian dealer.
