‘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.

'Hours at a Time:' Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Driver Says He Loves His Car. Except for This One Thing
The Toyota RAV4 is one of the automaker's top sellers. But one driver says these hybrids have a quirk that consistently causes him issues. In the early 2000s, hybrids had a niche following. People were skeptical about their battery life, maintaining them, and the general upfront cost. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . But as gas prices have climbed, people have become more climate aware. Simultaneously, hybrids have improved. Today, they're more popular than ever. In the first quarter, hybrids made up about 14 percent of all light-duty vehicles sold in the United States, according to the Department of Energy. That's about three times the market share of fully electric vehicles sold in the same timeframe. They're more fuel efficient than a gasoline or diesel engine, and you don't have to deal with charging like with a fully electric car. Plus, many agree that now they look as good as any other car. The One 'Problem' With Hybrids In a video with more than 27,000 views, fitness influencer and Toyota RAV4 hybrid owner Casey Casano shares his one problem with the vehicle: It's too quiet. 'Nobody tells you when you get a hybrid that you will leave your car on for hours at a time before you even realize that you turned your car off,' Casano says in his TikTok. In the video, Casano said he ends up forgetting to turn it off because it's 'so quiet' that he can barely tell the difference between it on and off. The only time it emits a noticeable sound, he says, is when it's charging. Still, he says, 'I love having a hybrid. I get like 40 miles to the gallon. No complaints over here.' At this rate, he says he's surprised the vehicle hasn't been stolen. Efforts to Address the Issue Hybrids and electric vehicles being too quiet is a widely reported issue. Both lawmakers and automakers have worked to address it over the years. Trending Now 'I Listed It For a Fair Price:' Man Lists Jeep on Facebook. Then a Prospective Buyer Brings a Friend Named 'Tommy Roughknuckles' 'This Is Why I Have an 04 Camry:' Man Takes Ford F-250 to San Antonio. Then He Sees What Happened to It in the Hotel Parking Lot WRAL TechWire reported in 2019 that a lot of RAV4 drivers were unable to hear a distinct difference when the vehicle was on versus off. A too-quiet vehicle may be an inconvenience for drivers like Casano, but for pedestrians and animals , the lack of sound is a potentially lethal hazard. That's why federal regulators have implemented minimum sound requirements for these vehicles. These requirements apply when the vehicle is in motion, however, so an idling RAV4 would be harder to hear than one that's being driven. Carmakers have separately worked to ensure drivers don't unintentionally leave their vehicles running when they exit. Toyota has had 'engine on' warnings since 2003, per WRAL TechWire . In recent years, the company has added enhanced features to make the warning more noticeable and send an alert to your phone. RAV4s also automatically shift into park when they're turned off. People across several forums also say that the RAV4 automatically shuts off if it's idle for an hour. 'My Car Screams at Me' People who commented on Casano's post almost universally disagreed with him. One did say, 'Yup have done that.' But the vast majority, most of whom claim they drive hybrids, said their vehicles have warning systems and other features that prevent them from leaving it on for any length of time. 'Nah, my hybrid won't let that happen. It will annoy you if you try to get out with it on or running idle too long,' one person wrote. 'My car screams at me if I step out with the key and it's on,' another said. A third both agreed and disagreed, writing, 'Mine will turn off after one hour. But yes I forget it's on.'

Trump Says Car Trade With ‘Mr Japan' Is Unfair as Deadline Looms
US President Donald Trump characterized trade in cars between the US and Japan as unfair on Sunday, little more than a week before higher tariffs are set to kick in if a deal isn't reached between the two nations. 'So we give Japan no cars. They won't take our cars, right? And yet we take millions and millions of their cars into the United States. It's not fair,' Trump said during a Fox News interview that aired Sunday.

'Cost him the race': F1 driver facing the axe after incident with Oscar Piastri
Alpine driver Franco Colapinto is reportedly in danger of losing his spot on the F1 team, and a crazy incident involving Oscar Piastri in the Austrian Grand Prix won't do him any favours. Piastri finished second behind McLaren teammate Lando Norris, who cut the Aussie's lead in the championship to just 15 points. But it was nearly so much worse for Piastri, who came perilously close to not finishing the race when he was inadvertently forced off track by Colapinto on lap 55. Norris and Piastri were moving past the lapped Alpine driver, who moved out of the way for Norris but didn't appear to realise Piastri was also right there. Colapinto moved straight back into Piastri's path and forced the Aussie driver onto the grass, who managed to keep his composure and get back on track. Piastri narrowly avoided disaster, but the incident cost him precious ground on Norris and ruined his chances of overtaking his teammate late in the race. Piastri was then blocked by Colapinto's Alpine teammate Pierre Gasly on lap 57, and the Aussie driver was left fuming. He reportedly said on team radio: 'Alpine still manages to find a way to f*** me over all these years later." Piastri was referencing his controversial switch from Alpine to McLaren in 2022, when Alpine tried to block the move. F1 fans were left filthy with Colapinto's mistake, with many joking he's trying to take out as many Aussies as possible. The Argentine replaced Aussie driver Jack Doohan earlier this season, who was sacked after six races. But new reports have claimed Colapinto is also in the gun after failing to impress. 'Racing News 365' is reporting that Alpine are considering dumping Colapinto as well, with pressure intensifying after the incident with Piastri that could have caused massive embarrassment for the team had it affected the championship race even more. Alpine's plan was to give Colapinto five races to show what he's capable of, and those five races are now completed. The Argentine hasn't scored a single point, but neither did Doohan in his six races. Apline had seemingly backflipped on that plan and guaranteed Colapinto's immediate future, but their stance has reportedly now changed. According to 'Racing News 365': "Alpine has informed Colapinto and his management team that the Argentinian needed to start performing." Colapinto, who was hit with a five-second penalty during the race and one penalty point on his record afterwards, said: "I'm not really concerned. I think (team principal) Flavio Briatore has been very supportive and he has trust on the decision he's made. I, and the team as well, are focusing on improving the car. We looked a bit weak today, and we just need to take some steps forward. "The car has been a bit tricky for me to drive at the moment. It's not very consistent. It's quick, but it just didn't give me the confidence I needed to push in the high speed here. It was a tough weekend. Overall, we did some steps forward, but it felt like something didn't click." Colapinto cost Piastri the race. Without that lost second from being driven off the track, Piastri would be in DRS by lap 64 or 65 and at that point, anything could have happened. — AJ Ansari (@AJAnsariX) June 29, 2025 Colapinto trying to take out every Aussie in F1 — Ignition Australia (@Ignition_AU) June 29, 2025 Almost caused him to crash and take a deep hit in the WC — juvid (@JuvidX) June 29, 2025 It wasn't the only hairy moment for Piastri on Sunday, who locked up his wheels during a dual with Norris on lap 20. "It was a good battle. A bit on the edge at times and probably pushed the limits a bit far," he admitted afterwards. "But that's what we're here to do: try and race each other and try and fight for wins. And that's what we did today. It was close for me, but not quite enough." RELATED: Oscar Piastri cops official sanction over illegal act following crash F1 fans in frenzy over return of Daniel Ricciardo with Oscar Piastri It was almost a repeat of the drama that unfolded in Montreal two weeks ago, when Norris ran up the back of Piastri and failed to finish. Team principal Andrea Stella praised Piastri's immediate accountability after the incident on Sunday, saying: "As soon as he crossed the finish line, he opened the radio and he said, 'Sorry for the situation in corner four. My bad. I know what I have to do'. We have come out stronger and even more united."
