‘It's for Weight Reduction Ofc They Use Cheap Plastic:' Why Is the Interior of This $250K Lamborghini Crunchy to the Touch?
A Lamborghini driver criticized the brand's build quality, demonstrating creaky plastic bits in its interior. Maz (@closedbymaz) posted a clip of himself to TikTok sitting in the interior of a blue Huracán where he digs his fingers into various points of the sports car's cabin. The 'insane build test' video garnered over 3.5 million views on the popular social media platform. Furthermore, it prompted a wave of different responses from other users on the application who had varying thoughts on the materials utilized in the Huracán's construction. Maz's clip begins with him focusing on the Lamborghini's steering wheel beneath a text overlay that reads, '$250k car btw.' Next, he directs his camera lens toward the Lamborghini's infotainment system. It's here that he presses into a plastic strip surrounding the vehicle's screen. It squeaks beneath the pressure before he moves his hand down to the car's shifting buttons. The covering here beneath the 'Start | Stop' ignition toggle also groans in a similar fashion. However, it's not just this plastic that flexes beneath the pressure of his hand; the armrest does too. The TikToker then directs his efforts to the air conditioning housing. This portion of the vehicle also has considerable give and wiggle as he applies some force to it. Lamborghini Seats, Too Maz's clip then transitions to him tugging on the passenger's side seatbelt. After he pulls on it, the Huracán's belt extends, but then remains floppy, not returning to its compartment, bringing the social media user's clip to a close. In a separate clip titled 'Miami Prius Build Test,' he shows off the sounds of the Huracán's buttons. The driver engages a variety of different knobs , switches, and levers, pressing them numerous times for some ASMR-style content. If the two videos are meant as a criticism of the sports car, Maz's other videos don't seem to indicate he is displeased with the vehicle. In spite of the build quality critiques and check engine light woes, Maz uploaded another video of him driving his Huracán. An on-screen caption in the clip reads, 'love this feeling,' as he rolls down a highway with the car's top down. More Lamborghini Slander Some of Maz's content appears to echo judgments of the brand's fit and finish that others online have made. This content creator, for instance, has made a series of videos demonstrating that high prices don't always equate to durability. In one of his videos, the man shows off a yellow Lamborghini Urus . As the clip progresses, he circles the car's exterior, gripping and shaking various components until they wiggle, fold, loosen, and break off. Everything from the Urus's windows to its door panels, cup holders, and dashboard plastic covers crumbles. He even manages to extricate its air conditioning vents before throwing them to the ground. At one point in the clip, he wrenches the infotainment screen from the car's dash, highlighting an Audi sticker on its back. It's an indicator that the Urus is built on the same platform as the Audi Q8 . Other pieces of the vehicle don't fare so well, either. Its rear hatch door wiggles as he pushes and pulls it in a terse, staccato movement. The wheel well covers are easily pried off and tossed to the ground with his fingers. As are the plastic engine covers under the hood and the plastic molding bits surrounding its interior seats. Commenters React Folks who responded to Maz's video had varying opinions on the Huracán's build quality. One person quipped that this reason alone is why they didn't purchase one. 'Yeah that's why I didn't buy one,' they penned. Another replied that the car's interior isn't the reason why one purchases a Lamborghini: They're built for speed. 'You [are] not supposed to press anything besides the gas pedal,' they remarked. Others highlighted that the 'cheap' plastic in Lamborghinis is utilized as a means to keep the car's heft down. 'What you want all metal?' one questioned. Someone else echoed the aforementioned sentiment, penning, 'It's for weight reduction ofc they use cheap plastic.' 'Did you expect luxury or speed,' another replied. One viewer stated that there's a distinct difference between optimizing luxury versus acceleration and handling. 'You're paying for an engine and extreme speed, not comfort. You want comfort? Go to Rolls or an S class,' they wrote. Motor1 has reached out to Maz via TikTok comment for further information.

Video: Gurugram Man's Dangerous Stunts In Rs 6 Crore Lamborghini
Gurugram: A video circulating widely on social media features a young man performing dangerous car stunts on Golf Course Road, one of Gurugram's busiest and most upscale stretches, in a Lamborghini reportedly worth Rs 6 crore. The footage, believed to have been shot late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, shows the driver recklessly manoeuvring the luxury sports car at high speeds, allegedly in a race with another vehicle. Eyewitnesses claimed that the young man also made obscene hand gestures during the stunts. The video, which is approximately 45 seconds long, shows a yellow Lamborghini, suspected to be either a Huracán or Aventador model, swerving dangerously across lanes, accelerating rapidly, and cutting close to other vehicles. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NDTV (@ndtv) In several frames, the man can be seen partially hanging out of the driver's window, shouting, and gesturing obscenely. The license plate of the Lamborghini is partly visible in the video, and authorities say they are using this detail to identify the individual. The stunts were performed on Gurugram's Golf Course Road, which is known for its concentration of luxury apartments, commercial towers, and high-end retail spaces. The road has seen an increase in traffic incidents over the past year, with several residents raising concerns about speeding. Golf Course Road also sees heavy daily traffic, particularly during peak office commute hours. Further investigation into the case is underway, police said.

✅ Boca Juniors secure first signing for Club World Cup
Marco Pellegrino underwent medical examinations this Sunday to join Miguel Ángel Russo's squad in the United States as soon as possible. Boca Juniors is preparing for its trip to the United States to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup with a new reinforcement: Marco Pellegrino, a 22-year-old defender, arrives at 'Xeneize' as a player from AC Milan after a magnificent season at Huracán. Advertisement As reported by the club on its 'Esto es Boca' account, the former Platense, Salernitana 1919 and Independiente footballer, underwent medical studies today to sign his contract. "If no issues arise, he will become a Boca player," they communicated. The Argentine press has reported that the agreement between Boca Juniors and AC Milan was set at a payment close to 3.5 million euros for 100% of his federative rights. Meanwhile, the Italian team will retain 20% of any future sale that exceeds the current transfer amount. However, due to administrative times, Marco Pellegrino will not be able to travel with the squad to the United States this Sunday; although he is expected to join the delegation in the coming days. 📸 Joaquín Camiletti - 2025 Getty Images Advertisement The team led by Miguel Ángel Russo will begin its preparation for the Club World Cup with a charter flight scheduled for this Sunday at 11 pm. Among the news from the list of summoned, the absences of Cristian Lema and Esteban Rolón stand out, who were not included in the coach's final roster.

Platense who? Club World Cup is another step on the road to a global super league
Last Sunday, in the northern Argentinian city of Santiago del Estero, Platense beat Huracán 1-0 to win Argentina's Apertura, the decisive goal a beautiful dipping effort struck at the top of the bounce by Guido Mainero. It was the first title in the club's 120‑year history and provoked scenes of extraordinary emotion. Platense are one of Argentina's quirkier clubs. They are nicknamed the Squid because their original ground was built on a marsh and the story grew that they played better in wet conditions when, as the journalist Antonio Palacio Zino put it, 'the boys moved like squid in their ink'. The boggy conditions are also supposedly why they wear brown after an early director thought it would help to hide mud stains; the real reason is probably that their first members agreed to wear the colours of a jockey who won a particular race. None of their fans expected anything like this. Just as it has been for the rash of other rare winners across the world in recent months, for Newcastle, for Crystal Palace, for Aberdeen, for Union Saint-Gilloise, for VfB Stuttgart, it was a time for reflection, to remember friends and family long since passed who would have loved to have been there. 'At a time like this,' one of their joint managers, Favio Orsi, said, 'I think of my old man. I owe football to my old man. I thank life for everything I shared with him.' If asked by a sceptic why football matters, this is what you would point to, its capacity to foster community, reflection and a stirring nostalgia: 'It is so sad to know that those days, win or lose, can't return. Nor those remember faces be gathered in one place again,' as JL Carr's narrator has it in his remarkable novel How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers Won the FA Cup. Now, imagine you are a supervillain. You sit in your sinister mountain lair, all gleaming black stone and discreet lighting, stroking a cat and occasionally cackling manically. You care nothing for this euphoric purity. What you care about is power. You recognise the appeal of the smaller clubs and their fairytales, but that only obstructs your grand plans. You need to destabilise and destroy, and you decide the best way to do that is to create a cadre of super-clubs so wealthy that they render their domestic leagues farcical, drawing them ultimately towards a global super league. Nobody is saying that's what Fifa is doing. Quite apart from anything else it would require a degree of organisational competence that has not been obviously apparent in the planning of the Club World Cup. But if that were what our supervillain were doing, how different would it look to the Club World Cup? The financial stratification of the game is already a major problem. Over the past decade it has become standard for European leagues to be dominated by one or two clubs. The evidence of last season suggested the Premier League may have stumbled into a more equitable situation by dint of the combination of extremely high broadcast deals and profit and sustainability rules (at significant cost to the Championship and the rest of the world), but even that would be challenged by the impact of the Club World Cup, most of it funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The Saudi Public Investment Fund had already invested in DAZN, which bought the broadcast rights for the Club World Cup, when on Thursday it became an official partner of the competition. Qatar Airways had been named as a partner 48 hours earlier. It's not usual for major sponsorship deals such as this to be concluded less than a fortnight before the opening game. Were Chelsea, say, to win the Club World Cup, they would receive around £100m in prize money and participation fees, a month's work for what a lower mid-table side would make in Premier League prize money for an entire season. The Premier League isn't really the problem here. It is big enough and rich enough that it can just about absorb one club suddenly being handed £100m. But other leagues are not. Auckland City play in the Dettol Northern League, an amateur competition in New Zealand's North Island. Even if they lose every game in the group stage, they will receive £2.64m for participation. The Northern League caps player expenses at £70 a week. It's been widely reported that clubs circumvent that so some players might be making as much as £350 a week. In that environment, £2.64m goes a very long way. Or take the example of Platense. Their prize money for winning the Apertura last week was £370,000. There are two Argentinian representatives in the Club World Cup: Boca Juniors and River Plate. Even if they lose every game, they will each get £11.25m for participation. Turn up, and they get 30 times as much as the winners of the domestic championship (albeit there are two champions every season in Argentina). Imagine Boca beat Auckland City: there's another £1.5m. Say, Boca or River progress to the last 16: there's £5m more. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Even given the complicated financial situations at most clubs in Argentina, it would be an extraordinary dereliction to fail to convert that into domination, particularly given the advantages the big two already enjoy. Even if it remains as a competition held every four years – and rumours swirl of aspirations to make it biennial – for most sides, participation in the Club World Cup should become self‑perpetuating, a couple of dozen clubs almost infinitely wealthier than their domestic rivals. What then would the future be? Our cat-stroking supervillain is thinking of a global super league that would diminish the domination of Uefa and the Champions League, which would suit Fifa very nicely. Coincidentally the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, did try, with limited success, to establish an African super league that risked upsetting the delicate balance of local leagues and destroying the rivalries that have sustained the game there for decades. It's worth reiterating that nobody is saying that is Fifa's grand plan. But that the financial distortion of leagues does feel like the sort of thing that an effective global governing body should be considering, perhaps even guarding against. As it is, Fifa is engineering it.

💥Boca making progress in talks with Marco Pellegrino
After the arrival of Miguel Ángel Russo at Boca Predio, the Xeneize are stepping on the accelerator in the transfer market to silence the critics. The first reinforcement would be Marco Pellegrino, a central defender from Huracán, who belongs to Milan. Advertisement According to TyC Sports, updates are expected in the coming hours to clarify whether he will arrive on loan or if they will finally buy him. With Ayrton Costa lacking a visa for the Club World Cup and Marcos Rojo still an unknown, bringing in a number 6 is absolutely necessary.
