In a country where the dream of owning a Lamborghini or Ferrari is the pinnacle of luxury, the reality of driving these supercars on India’s rough roads can be an entirely different experience. A recent incident involving a Lamborghini Huracan has once again highlighted the challenges faced by owners of high-performance vehicles navigating India’s notoriously bad road conditions. The video of this struggle quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions on social media.
Supercar vs. Hatchback: A Struggle on Rough Terrain
A video posted on Instagram shows a sleek black Lamborghini Huracan slowly making its way over a difficult stretch of road in India. The footage captures the supercar carefully navigating a speed breaker, only to hit a deep pothole. What’s striking about the video is the stark contrast in how the Lamborghini struggles to pass the uneven terrain, while a Hyundai Exter, a much smaller and simpler hatchback, breezes through the same stretch without difficulty.

Social Media Reactions: A Mix of Humor and Empathy
The viral video sparked a range of reactions across social media platforms. Some users found humor in the situation, with one commenter joking, “A supercar in India? It’s like putting a tiger in a small cage!” Others, however, were more sympathetic, recognizing the reality of maintaining luxury cars in a country with infrastructure that often fails to match the level of sophistication of the vehicles on the road.
One user pointed out the difficulty of owning such a high-performance vehicle, stating, “It’s just the reality of driving luxury cars in a country where roads are not always well-maintained.” While the Lamborghini struggled through the potholes, the Exter behind it passed with ease, emphasizing the disparity in comfort and performance between the two types of vehicles.
The Reality of Luxury Cars in India
This incident isn’t an isolated case. A separate video, also gaining traction on X (formerly Twitter), shows a red Lamborghini grappling with potholes on a busy road in Telangana. In this clip, the luxury car gingerly makes its way through a water-filled stretch while curious onlookers snap photos and marvel at the sight of the high-end vehicle struggling with such basic road conditions.
Despite their impressive speed, power, and elegance, supercars like the Lamborghini Huracan are not immune to the challenges posed by India’s poorly maintained infrastructure. The ongoing struggle between luxury vehicles and pothole-filled roads serves as a reminder of the growing need for improved road maintenance across the country. For now, even the most powerful cars seem to be at the mercy of India’s rough terrain.
