Two Lamborghini supercars collided in Texas, sparking a fiery crash. Learn the details and what it means for exotic car owners. Read more now!
Firefighters from the Cypress‑Fairbanks district in Texas responded to a dramatic scene on the intersection of State Highway 99 (the Grand Parkway) and Jack Road. Two of the world’s most coveted Lamborghini models – an Aventador S and the brand‑new Revuelto – had collided, and one of them was engulfed in flames.
What Happened?
According to the first‑on‑scene report, the Aventador S suffered the worst damage. A massive fire ripped through the car, scorching most of the body panels and interior. Fire crews had to cut away the front bonnet to reach the blaze, which had already consumed the majority of the vehicle. The only parts that remained relatively intact were the front bumper and the headlamp assembly.
Vehicles Involved
- Aventador S – a flagship V12‑powered Lamborghini. In the U.S. market, a pre‑owned Aventador S typically lists for $420,000–$500,000.
- Revuelto – Lamborghini’s latest hybrid hyper‑car, painted in a striking gradient‑purple finish with 20‑inch forged wheels. Its factory price ranges from $600,000 to $700,000.
Extent of the Damage
The Revuelto fared slightly better structurally, but the impact was severe. The front left wheel and the lower suspension arm were pushed back into the cabin area, and the nose of the car was almost completely flattened. The Aventador, however, was a total loss after the fire.
Possible Cause
Authorities have not released an official cause yet. Witnesses said the two Lamborghinis were travelling side‑by‑side on the highway while a red pickup truck was filming them. One officer told international media that the crash occurred during a “road‑recording session.” The fire on the Aventador was already raging when fire crews arrived.
Market Impact
Both models are limited‑production, high‑demand exotics. While the Aventador S is already a collector’s item, a dramatic crash can affect resale values and insurance premiums for similar vehicles. The Revuelto’s price is expected to stay robust, but the incident highlights the heightened risk of high‑speed filming and stunt driving.
Safety Outcome
Fortunately, both drivers escaped unharmed. They were able to open their doors and exit the vehicles on their own, sustaining no injuries.
What This Means for Supercar Owners
Enthusiasts are reminded to prioritize safety over spectacle. Even the most advanced hyper‑cars can become dangerous when pushed to extremes, especially on public roads.
