URGENT UPDATE: A high-speed crash involving a Lamborghini Revuelto on VIP Road in Kanpur has left six people injured this afternoon. The incident, which has sent shockwaves through social media, highlights pressing concerns over speed, safety, and accountability on public roads.
The crash occurred when the 1,015 hp hybrid supercar, allegedly driven by the son of a prominent tobacco tycoon, collided with pedestrians and multiple vehicles. Eyewitness reports describe a scene of chaos as police quickly seized the vehicle and began an investigation.
The Lamborghini Revuelto, launched in India in December 2023 with a hefty price tag of ₹8.89 crore, is Lamborghini’s flagship model. The car boasts a mid-engine layout powered by a 6.5-litre V12 engine complemented by three electric motors, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 350 km/h.
This incident has reignited discussions about the responsibility that comes with owning such powerful vehicles. With a limited electric-only range of about 10 km, the Revuelto’s capabilities raise significant questions about the safety of high-performance cars on public streets, particularly in crowded urban settings.
Authorities are now facing increased scrutiny over regulations governing supercars in India. The Kanpur crash serves as a stark reminder that luxury does not equate to safety. As more details emerge, the public is left questioning how such incidents might affect future regulations and sales of high-performance vehicles.
The Lamborghini Revuelto is not only a technological marvel but also a symbol of aspiration and wealth in India. It competes with other elite cars like the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. However, the growing trend of supercar ownership brings with it a critical need for discussions on responsible driving and public safety.
As this story develops, the impact of the crash on future Lamborghini sales and potential regulatory changes will be closely monitored. Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding situation as authorities continue their investigation into the incident and its wider implications for road safety in India.
