The sports world, especially football, is still under the impact of the tragic accident that led to the death of Dugo Gota-yesterday, Thursday, in an accident when his car, Lamborghini, who was traveling with his younger brother Andre Silva from the path and caught fire on the A-52 highway in Palacius de Sanabria, Spain, near the Portuguese border.
According to the reports of the local authorities in Spain, the two brothers died at the scene of the accident and no other vehicles participated in the accident, and according to what was reported, the Huracan Lamborghini came out from the path due to a hole in the frame, then collided with the road barrier and caught fire immediately.
Although the results of preliminary investigations indicate that excessive speed and sudden explosion in one of the tires may have contributed to the deadly accident, the authorities in Spain continue to investigate, if the high -tech safety mechanism is available in the Lamborghini.
1- The case of tires
Investigators are still focusing on several factors in the causes of the Liverpool star’s car crash and fire, including tires and possible mechanical breakdowns and the speed of the car at the time of the accident.
The British IBTIMES newspaper reported that the signs of slipping into the scene indicate that the car may have been traveling at high speed when the frame exploded.
Forensic medicine teams analyze the debris and tire fragments to determine whether the current defects or engineering problems have contributed to the accident.
Although it was not directly linked to this incident, Lamborghini cars suffered from some safety problems, including defective headlights and doors mechanisms, according to the British newspaper.

2- The technology of the fireworks system in accidents
The attention of investigators turned into the automatic opening system of the doors in Lamborghini Huracan when accidents occur, where some models are equipped with a bolts with simple explosive shipments (sparks) designed to help separate the doors from the car’s body, which may allow passengers to leave or rescue men to quickly reach passengers.
This technique is called the Pyrotechnic Door System, and it does not explode the doors in a strong way as some of them may imagine, but rather simple sparks that facilitate the separation of the door from the body of the car.
This system is usually activated by collision sensors in the car, as is the case with opening air pillows in the event of a car’s overturning or strong collision.
The doors of the car open vertically and despite being elegant, it can become a problem if the car is inverted, according to car industry experts, and structural stability can be at risk in high -influential scenarios.
It is still unclear whether the “scissors doors” system has been active or failed during the Gota death accident, but investigators evaluate whether it has any effect on the ability of passengers to escape or rescue according to the newspaper.
The horrific accident has sparked wider concerns about the safety of high -performance vehicle, and industry experts note that the integration of explosive nails technology constitutes special engineering challenges when balanced between performance and the ability to survive.
3- The fire is rapidly ignited in sports cars!
After the deadly accident, the question arises, whether super sports cars burn quickly from other “regular” cars.
There are no facts and compelling evidence to answer this question, but “Auto Motor Sport” believes that the position of installation of the engine in a sporty car with an average engine like Lamborghini Huracan can enhance a fire.
The site stated that the 10 -cylinder engine with a capacity of 5.2 liters in the Lamborghini Huracan car is between the passenger compartment and the rear axis and the hot parts such as the exhaust system and oil lines and gasoline are also in a narrow place, and the fuel tank is located behind the two passengers.
The Lamborghini Huracan engine is designed to withstand high pressure, but in the event of an emergency occurring like what happened with Gota, including the coup, the risk of a certain killer serial reaction is definitely expected.
The “Auto Motor Sport” website was martyred in the accident of the actor Paul Walker in 2013 where he was sitting in the passenger seat in the Porsche Carrera GT (also a sports car with an average engineWhich collided first with a lighting column and tree at excessive, and then the fire was burned).
Does this incident reconsider the super car industry?
If the ongoing investigation is found an error in Lamborghini design, this may lead to a reassessing similar technologies in the super car industry and the European Union may also face calls for the most striking collision test protocols for luxury cars.
While the Dugo Jota and Andre Silva family drowned in deep sadness, there are still questions about the precise sequence of events, and it seems that the explosion of one of the tires is the main cause of the death of the 28 -year -old Portuguese international and his brother, but the features of the supercar design entered the spotlight.
The results of the final investigation can affect future engineering standards, and may lead to changes in how to agree to luxury sports cars for use on the road.
