The owner of a Lamborghini Huracán has posted a video on TikTok to warn supercar enthusiasts who dream of having a Lambo in their garage one day.
Emtiaz Uddin, CEO of Ekko Vision, shared a clip explaining to his followers why his white Huracán had been missing from his videos. According to him, the car was at the shop because it needed a full engine replacement.
Uddin, who lives in the Houston, Texas area, said he bought his Lamborghini Huracán brand new and drove it for about 19,000 km when a support bracket broke — something he blamed on Houston’s rough roads.
That broken bracket apparently triggered a chain reaction that led to the need for a complete engine replacement. Fortunately for Uddin, the repair was covered under warranty, as the cost could have exceeded $100,000.
Noah Jay, another Lamborghini owner, posted a reaction video to Uddin’s clip and reflected on the expenses of maintaining his own supercar.
Jay mentioned his recent maintenance costs, including a $500 oil change, a $3,000 diagnostic visit, and another repair that could total around $20,000.
“[Uddin] once asked what my dream car would be if I became successful enough with [Ekko] to afford it,” Jay recalled in the clip. “But he made sure to remind me that even if I earned enough to buy the car, I’d have to keep working hard enough to maintain it.”
The video highlights an important point: even without catastrophic failures, basic maintenance for exotic cars is significantly more expensive than for regular vehicles.
You might have enough money to buy a Lamborghini, but here’s the real question — can you afford to keep it running long-term, especially if a surprise repair costs more than $100,000?
The takeaway is clear: luxury performance comes with luxury maintenance. If you’re going to buy a supercar, be ready to pay super-sized bills.
