In an investigation that is shaking the entire automotive industry, police have released new evidence demonstrating a critical technical defect on the Lamborghini involved in the tragic accident involving renowned soccer player Diogo Jota. The vehicle, a flagship model from the renowned Italian automaker, reportedly exhibited anomalies in its electronic stability control system, seriously compromising driving safety.
According to investigators, the defect was not an isolated case. Several testimonies collected by independent technicians and other owners of the same model confirmed the vehicle’s abnormal behavior at high speeds or on low-grip roads. Forensic analysis of Jota’s vehicle revealed a malfunction in the rear differential management software, which caused a sudden loss of control just seconds before the crash.
On the day of the accident, Diogo Jota was speeding on a highway when he lost control of his Lamborghini, skidding off the road and suffering minor injuries. Fortunately, no other vehicles were involved, but the consequences could have been far more tragic. The incident, initially attributed to human error, has taken on a new light with recent revelations.
The parent company, Lamborghini SpA, has so far limited itself to stating that it is fully cooperating with the relevant authorities and that thorough checks will be carried out on the entire affected production line. However, internal sources report that management is in a state of crisis, concerned not only about possible mandatory recalls that could affect thousands of vehicles, but also about the legal and reputational consequences of the affair.
International media are closely following the developments, while industry experts are quick to compare the current scandal to well-known past cases, such as “Dieselgate.” If the allegations are confirmed, Lamborghini could find itself at the center of one of the most serious industrial scandals in recent years, with devastating impacts on consumer confidence and the value of the brand globally.
Meanwhile, consumer associations have already announced their intention to take class action against the manufacturer, while European road safety authorities have launched an independent investigation to verify the model’s compliance with EU standards. FIFA, given Diogo Jota’s fame as a world-class athlete, has also expressed concern about the safety of athletes behind the wheel of high-performance vehicles.
While awaiting further developments, public attention remains high, with thousands of enthusiasts and customers of the car manufacturer awaiting clear answers. Lamborghini, long a symbol of technological excellence and prestige, now faces one of the most difficult tests in its history.
