Driving a hypercar on busy streets demands a sense of responsibility
In a rather tragic turn of events, a brand-new Lamborghini Revuelto was involved in a crash with a Mahindra Scorpio in Kerala. In recent times, I have reported numerous instances of supercars getting entangled in horrific crashes in India. Admittedly, it is not easy to control a monster like the Revuelto. That is why one needs immense control and a sense of accountability to ensure that such cases don’t occur. People often end up in horrendous situations by not following traffic regulations, particularly pertaining to speed limits. For now, let us delve into the details of this recent case.
Lamborghini Revuelto Accident
A brand-new Lamborghini Revuelto owned by an Indian businessman has been involved in a crash in Kerala. The car was barely a month old and was running on temporary registration. The accident happened on a highway near Thrissur. According to local TV reports and police inputs quoted by major news channels, the supercar collided with an SUV. The SUV flipped over and landed on its side. Despite the dramatic visuals, no injuries were reported. Both drivers are said to be safe. The Revuelto suffered heavy damage. Photos show a major impact on the passenger side. The rear wheel assembly appears completely torn off. The suspension components are also broken. The front alloy wheel is shattered. The body panels on the side are badly crushed. This suggests a high-speed side impact.
Police sources told the media that the case is being examined to understand the sequence of events. Initial visuals suggest the Lamborghini may have clipped the SUV while changing lanes or attempting to overtake. However, the exact cause has not been officially confirmed yet. One unusual detail is that the airbags did not deploy. Safety experts quoted by news outlets say airbags may not deploy if the seatbelt is not fastened or if the impact angle does not meet deployment thresholds. This will likely be part of the technical inspection. The Revuelto is Lamborghini’s newest V12 plug-in hybrid supercar. It costs well over Rs 8 crore in India. Repairing such damage will be extremely expensive and time-consuming.

Having tracked India’s supercar space for years, I believe this crash shows the clear mismatch between extreme performance cars and our unpredictable road conditions. While it is a relief that no one was injured, the scale of damage proves how little margin for error these machines allow. Owning a hypercar here requires discipline, training, and respect for speed limits. Incidents like this highlight the need for more responsible driving and stronger awareness as supercars become more common in India.
