Gautam Singhania questions safety
Gautam Singhania, the chairman of Raymond Group and an automobile enthusiast, shared the video on Instagram and asked why Lamborghini cars are frequently catching fire.
'Another day, another Lamborghini in flames. This time in Bengaluru,' he wrote.
'This isn't a 'rare incident' anymore. It's a pattern. Why is Lamborghini silent?' Singhania questioned. 'Why are their cars catching fire??? Are their cars safe??? Should they be allowed in India???' he added, sounding alarm over the responsibility of the Italian car manufacturer.
Singhania had raised similar concerns when a Lamborghini Revuelto car went up in flames in Mumbai in December 2024. 'Incidents like this raise serious concerns about the reliability and safety standards of Lamborghini. For the price and reputation, one expects uncompromising quality—not potential hazards,' he had written at the time.
Besides serving as the chairman of Raymond Group, Gautam Singhania, 59, is also the founder of the Super Car Club and has participated in international racing events, including the Ferrari Challenge series. He also attended the Monaco Grand Prix this year.

Lamborghini Fenomeno Limited Edition Supercar Breaks Cover
Lamborghini unveiled the limited-edition Fenomeno supercar during Monterey Car Week 2025. The Italian marque claims Fenomeno features the most powerful V12 engine in its history. As the latest in Lamborghini's line of exclusive models, Fenomeno follows the tradition set by the Reventon, with successors including the Sesto Elemento (2010), Veneno (2013), Centenario (2016), Sian (2019), and Countach (2021). The name "Fenomeno," in keeping with Lamborghini's naming heritage, honors a brave and renowned bull that fought in Morelia, Mexico, in 2002. The limited-edition Lamborghini Fenomeno is available in 30 units, with 29 units allocated to customers. The Lamborghini Fenomeno features a 6.5-liter NA V12 engine, also seen on the Lamborghini Revuelto, and is mated with a dual-clutch eight-speed gearbox. However, the brand claims that the Fenemeno features the most powerful V12 by the brand. The total power output is 1,065 hp, with a record 823 hp provided by the naturally aspirated V12 engine and a further 242 hp developed by the three electric motors. Lamborghini Fenomeno These features also attribute the Lamborghini Fenomeno as the fastest Lamborghini ever, both in the 0-100 km/h sprint, which it achieves in an extraordinary 2.4 seconds, and in the 0-200 km/h sprint, completed in just 6.7 seconds. It boasts a top speed of 350 km/h. Talking about the design and exterior, the Lamborghini Fenomeno has an aeronautics-inspired chassis, with a monocoque made entirely of multi-technology carbon fiber, has a front structure in forged composite, a special material made of short carbon fiber soaked in resin. The supercar gets a CCM-R Plus brake system with carbon-ceramic discs for exceptional braking on track and roads. The single-nut forged rims contribute to delivering exceptional agility, while the special track-oriented tires custom-engineered by Bridgestone offer outstanding grip. Completing the Fenomeno is a sport-tuned suspension, making the Fenomeno extremely precise and stable during sports driving.

Austrian MotoGP 2025, Qualifying: Marc Marquez crashes, Marco Bezzecchi claims first pole of the season
Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi delivered a stunning turnaround to claim his first pole position of the season at the Austrian Grand Prix on Saturday, while championship leader Marc Marquez's front-row bid ended in the gravel after a costly crash. Bezzecchi had to battle through the Q1 qualifying session to secure the final Q2 spot before clocking one minute and 28.060 seconds to snatch pole position at the Red Bull Ring. It marked Bezzecchi's fifth career pole and his first since the Indian Grand Prix in 2023, with the Italian crediting MotoGP great Valentino Rossi for crucial late-night assistance after Friday's disappointing practice sessions. 'Yesterday afternoon, I was a bit sad because I saw some positives. But then in the time attacks from the practice, I couldn't really make any lap time,' said Bezzecchi, who progressed through the ranks at Rossi's VR46 Riders Academy. A SUPER LAP BY BEZ TO GO TO P1🔥#AustrianGP 🇦🇹 — MotoGP™🏁 (@MotoGP) August 16, 2025 'We discovered what was wrong ... I really have to thank Vale a lot because he came to the box yesterday and we worked until late night and yeah, big thanks to him. 'Also, thanks to the team, they did a wonderful job as always. I will try my best as always this afternoon (in the sprint) and then tomorrow.' Bezzecchi is joined on the front row by Gresini Racing's Alex Marquez, who sits second in the championship, and Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia. Marc Marquez, who has won the last five Grands Prix, is seeking a first ever victory at the Red Bull Ring but after initially setting the fastest lap, he was pushed off the front row and will start fourth on the grid. The Spaniard's attempt at one final flying lap ended dramatically when he clipped the kerb on turn two and crashed into the gravel, unable to improve his time despite steering his battered Ducati through the remaining corners. KTM's Pedro Acosta had to abandon his lap midway and ride through the paddock to return to the pits as surprised staff jumped out of the way and the 21-year-old attempted one more lap to fight for pole at the team's home track. Acosta looked well set for pole when he went fastest on the first two sectors but made a mistake which required him to regain control and will start seventh on the grid behind Enea Bastianini and Fermin Aldeguer. Meanwhile, KTM Tech3's Maverick Vinales will sit out the rest of the weekend due to intense pain in his left shoulder having just returned from surgery.

Lamborghini Fenomeno unveiled with top speed of 350 kmph, is limited to 29 units
At Monterey Car Week 2025, Lamborghini lifted the veil on perhaps its most audacious creation yet: the Fenomeno, a limited-run hybrid hypercar that doubles as a bold design manifesto from Centro Stile's 20-year legacy. Restricted to just 29 customer-bound units (with one reserved for Lamborghini's own collection), the Fenomeno blends raw power, avant-garde design, and exclusive craftsmanship—truly a vehicle that lives up to its name, which echoes a legendary fighting bull from Morelia, Mexico. What powers the Lamborghini Fenomeno? At the heart of the Fenomeno lies Lamborghini's most potent V12 engine ever crafted, a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre powerhouse delivering a staggering 1,065 bhp at 9,250 rpm, paired with three electric motors contributing another 241 bhp, for a total output of 1,306 bhp. At the rear, the Fenomeno gets Y-shaped LED tail lamps. What is the top speed and acceleration time of the Lamborghini Fenomeno? This superlative powertrain results in a catapulting 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of just 2.4 seconds and a top speed exceeding 350 km/h (218+ mph). Lamborghini Fenomeno highlights The Fenomeno features Lamborghini's latest CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brake system—designed for exceptional durability and consistent, high-performance stopping power. Its aerodynamic toolkit includes novel air intakes, aerodynamic 'curtains," and an S-duct inspired by GT3 race cars—all serving functional cooling and stability, not just aesthetic flair. From the sides, the Fenomeno continues to have that wedge shape design that we have seen on sports cars from Lamborghini. Design-wise, the Fenomeno is a radical iteration of the brand's stylistic language. Its silhouette draws inspiration from the long-tail Essenza SCV12, while the front fascia reinterprets signature Y-shaped lighting and introduces bolder geometric contours. The monocoque chassis and body are fully carbon fiber, accentuating lightweight performance and visually underscoring its raceborne heritage. Inside, the cockpit is pure futurism: carbon everywhere, three digital screens, ambient lighting that frames the layout like something from a sci-fi flick, and full customization through Lamborghini's Ad Personam program—over 400 exterior hues and a virtually unlimited array of interior materials and palettes.

While Lamborghini teases this as a beacon for future styling and hybrid innovation, the company's electrification roadmap—covering models like the Lanzador and electric Urus—remains fluid, with timelines yet to fully crystallize.
