While many Americans struggle to wrap their heads around the average new car price recently exceeding $50,000 for the first time ever, ultra-luxury buyers seem unfazed by rising costs. In 2024, Lamborghini made more profit than ever before, and although its profits declined last year, it still set a new sales record. The Sant'Agata Bolognese-based automaker revealed that it delivered 10,747 vehicles worldwide in 2025, even with "challenging market conditions" and a lineup populated exclusively b

Novitec has unveiled its wild new ESTESO Widebody SE package for the plug-in hybrid Lamborghini Urus SE, transforming the already 800-hp super-SUV into something far more dramatic. Lamborghini’s latest hybrid model was designed to bridge the brand’s performance future as it backs away from a full-EV strategy. The Urus SE sits at the center of that approach, and Novitec’s new kit pushes it even deeper into extreme-SUV territory. The tuner’s ESTESO program adds a full widebody conversion, carbon-

Lamborghini Aventador Gas Cap Quote Sparks Online Reaction Not even Lamborghinis are immune to the usual wear and tear, and an Aventador needed a fix badly. A routine repair on a Lamborghini Aventador has gone viral after a Reddit post revealed the cost of a simple replacement part: roughly $1,300 for a fuel cap. The story, shared in the r/Justrolledintotheshop community, details how a technician diagnosed an EVAP system fault and traced it to a defective gas cap, which is typically a quick, in

Lamborghini started out producing grand tourers, and in the late 1970s, it sold a 2+2 grand tourer called the Jarama 400 GT, but in 1976, the Sant'Agata Bolognese company ended production of the GT and hasn't made another since (the Urraco survived until 1979, but despite its 2+2 seating, it's classified as a sports car). Today, the automaker offers the wild Reveulto supercar, the Temerario super sports car, and the Urus super SUV. The gap between the two-seaters and the SUV is considerable, wit

Another Year, Another Step Up Lamborghini kept its momentum going after a record-setting 2024. In 2025, the brand delivered 10,747 cars – its third year in a row above the 10,000 mark. Not long ago, that would have been headline news. Now, it’s just business as usual. Revenue climbed alongside sales, reaching €3.2 billion ($3.7 billion) – up 3.3% from last year and the highest Lamborghini has ever posted. For a brand that doesn’t chase volume, that kind of growth points to strong demand and the

Ad Personam Takes Another Swing at the Huracán Successor Lamborghini isn't shy about promoting both its outgoing models and its newest hybrid supercars, but the brand's Ad Personam department is where things get more interesting. The studio is known for building Lamborghinis that only a handful of people ever see in person, and the program has already taken a crack at the Temerario, with the first one leaning toward show car energy. However, the one-off division's latest attempt at the Huracan s

Lamborghini may now have an entirely plug-in hybrid lineup, but it’s been more hesitant than most to dip its toes into the world of fully electric cars. That currently looks like a smart move given buyer unwillingness to accept high-end performance electric cars, and that weak market has now led Lamborghini to officially pull the plug on its first planned electric car, the Lanzador. Previewed by 2023’s concept, the Lanzador was to be a curious high-riding 2+2 coupe/SUV mashup, and was initially

Reading Between the Lines Lamborghini has issued a press release highlighting its Few-Off Roadster lineage, essentially the open-top versions of its halo cars. While the release does not introduce any new information, a report from The Supercar Blog suggests that the latest few-off model, the Fenomeno, could receive a Roadster variant as early as May 2026. That could explain why the Italian marque is suddenly revisiting its Few-Off Roadster lineage. Not that anyone’s complaining – these models t

Lamborghini is at the 2026 Milano Design Week, and it's made a splash with a new special-edition variant of its plug-in hybrid super SUV. Capped at just 630 units, the Urus SE Tettonero Capsule is the rarest version of the Urus yet, and it's also the most customizable, with more color combinations possible than ever before, though you can only have the roof in black because that's what the words tetto and nero mean. As with other Urus SE SUVs (at least until the next Performante arrives), the li

New Era Raging Bulls Lamborghini has always been a brand with an air of flair and drama. As a supercar maker, it prioritizes extreme-looking cars backed up by extreme performance. Having been in the business for so long, it has also gotten used to going with the trend without sacrificing what makes Lamborghini unique. With electrification a main consideration for modern mobility, Lambo adapted by introducing the new era of its supercar lineup. The Revuelto and Temerario take the tried-and-tested

The Electric Behemoth The GMCHummer EV may be infamous for its inefficiency due to its sheer size and weight, but it’s hardly delicate. So when LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets crashed his Hummer EV pickup at the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets in Charlotte – resulting in significant damage – it raised eyebrows about the truck’s toughness. According to WSOCTV9, the Hummer EV was attempting to make a left turn at the intersection when it collided with a Kia K5, formerly known as the O

Happy 119th, Lancia If there's one car company that falls under the "wow, they're still making those?" category, it would be Lancia. The Italian automaker has swung wildly from barely breathing to bankruptcy for over a century now, and it's celebrating its 119th anniversary this year. A bit of an odd milestone to celebrate, but better to host its birthday every year because it can, quite literally, go at any moment. That aside, Lancia has also made some of the most iconic cars ever made. At the

Rally Pedigree That Still Pays Off Several automakers, including Audi and Subaru, have built lasting reputations in rally that continue to benefit their production models. Another notable marque is Lancia, which gave rise to icons such as the Delta Integrale and the wedge-shaped Stratos. However, the brand gradually faded from the spotlight after leaving rally competition in 1992, and later withdrew from global markets to focus solely on Italy. This decade, Lancia is beginning to stage a revival

Keeping it Simple Not everyone wants or needs a hybrid or EV with a screen for a dashboard. Oftentimes, simplicity is the key, and Lancia had done exactly that with the latest car it had just launched. Meet the Ypsilon Turbo 100, and its specs are so refreshingly simple that it's the kind of car the world needs more of these days. The car is a response to the Italian market's demand for a low-cost subcompact hatchback. According to Lancia, the Ypsilon Turbo 100 was "born from direct customer fee

Defender Rally started its Dakar story with an immediate result, taking a debut victory in the production-based Stock category at the 2026 Dakar Rally. The win matters because Dakar is the sport’s harshest credibility test, and production-based entries have to balance speed with the reality of running hardware that stays closely tied to showroom vehicles.

Off-Roaders Inspired by Nature Automakers referencing real-world places for their vehicles is fairly common, especially with off-road editions inspired by trails and the outdoors. Examples include the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, named after the Rubicon Trail in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, and the Ford Bronco Outer Banks, which nods to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Land Rover, meanwhile, has a new entry with the Defender Sedona Red, which, as the name suggests, references Sedona, Arizon

Spin-Offs and Revivals Motoring history is littered with stories of names and models being revived or spun off into their own independent brands. A key example is the Mini, which was called the Morris Mini-Minor when it was still under the British Leyland umbrella in the '60s. Upon its sale to BMW, the Germans turned it into a standalone brand with different iterations of the Mini model, which exists to this day and just celebrated a milestone in the U.S. The same type of thinking is underway wi

Land Rover's Return to Dakar Any form of motorsport is tough, but when it comes to the ultimate test of man and machine, none come close to the Dakar Rally. It used to run from Paris to Dakar, but over the years, geopolitical issues and other factors have forced the rally to scale back a bit. In its current form, the Dakar Rally spans around 4,970 miles across lifeless, barren, and basically roadless deserts, with 3,107 miles of timed stages, and over 80 hours of competitive driving across a two

Luxury Expectations, Unexpected Problems Land Rover built the Range Rover’s reputation on status and refinement. These SUVs usually end up in garages where expectations run high – not just for comfort and capability, but for longevity that justifies the price. At this price point, you’d expect major parts – especially brakes – to last. For some Range Rover and Range Rover Sport owners, though, that’s not what happened. A class action lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the District of New

Storm Clouds Over JLR Land Rover has long been associated with reliability concerns, and those issues appear to be weighing on Jaguar Land Rover’s finances. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, JLR reported higher warranty costs, which, along with U.S. tariffs on imported vehicles and last year’s cyberattack, pushed the company to target £1.7 billion, or about $2.3 billion at current exchange rates, in spending cuts over the next two years. Automotive News reported that JLR posted an annua

When it comes to off-roading, Land Rover has a huge reputation to uphold, but can it do so with a switch to electric power? According to Defender brand director Mark Cameron, speaking with the U.K.'s Autocar, it can come close, and the new Defender Sport EV coming next year will be "class-leading in the attributes that make it a Defender." This means all-wheel drive is all but confirmed, hinting at a dual-motor setup. That said, he conceded that the original gas-powered Defender will still be be

The Most Extreme Defender That Money Can’t (Yet) Buy Land Rover is back at the Dakar Rally with a machine that doesn’t hold back: the Defender Dakar D7X-R. Built for the new Stock category, this is the most extreme Defender yet – and you can’t buy one, at least not now. It’s a pure competition car, stripped of comfort and loaded for one thing: surviving the toughest terrain Dakar can throw at it. One of the standout features is Flight Mode. Switch it on, and all the driver aids step aside, letti

While Bonneville gets the most fame and attention, and is the most iconic land speed racing location on earth, the dry lake bed at El Mirage is home to land speed racing and arguably the toughest spot to set a record. Winning an SCTA championship requires really good performances on the silty dirt lakebed, and is an accomplishment that any veteran land speed racer really respects. Setting a record on the salt at Bonneville is really tough, but El Mirage is tougher yet. When we saw that our frie

Larry Chen has some fun rides, but his 240z is “the one”. What I mean by that is that this is his forever car, the one that will never get sold and sent on its way to a new home. Larry has had this car since his 21st birthday and they have been through a lot together. In this video he’s going to explain the history, walk us through some new mods and updates, along with plans for the future. All this was going down on the car to prep it for the Japanese Classic Car Show in SoCal and also the SEMA

Las Vegas, Nevada, built its reputation as a mecca of vice buried deep within a desert landscape nobody was paying much attention to. What was once a hotbed of organized crime and petty criminality is now a den of monolithic buildings funded by private equity groups that design every aspect of your stay for monetization. The iconic Las Vegas strip has become boring. Every night’s stay carries an annoying and unnecessary resort fee; gambling odds are no longer in your favor, and slot machines are
