Singhania's ire was sparked by a faulty Lamborghini Revuelto, which marooned him in the middle of a Mumbai road on October 3. "I took the new Lamborghini Revuelto for a test drive and ended up stranded on the trans-harbour link due to a complete electrical failure," he wrote on X. "It's a brand-new car—are there reliability concerns?" emphasizing this incident as a case of reliability issues with the brand.
