It turns out the flames from the back of a Lamborghini Aventador don’t just kill polar bears, they can also cook a turkey.

In this ill-advised video shows one of the most expensive ways to cook a turkey – and get carbon monoxide poisoning at the same time. In it, a cherubic Brit manages to get his hands on a Lamborghini Aventador LP-640 Oakley Design that has been tricked out to look like a reindeer … and uses to cook a turkey. As an aside, if Santa really is going to deliver presents to some two billion homes, he might actually need a team of Aventadors.

For all of you at home, get out your pens – or your copy and paste functions – because here is what you need to cook your turkey: one Lamborghini Aventador (Rudolph nose optional), one assistant, one turkey and one pitchfork. Cooking time: probably about all twelve days of Christmas.

Sure, the video ends in about two minutes with the host eating some lovely browned turkey. If that is the same one that he was trying to cook; then I am Tiger Woods.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about this video is that the incredibly expensive Lamborghini sounds terrible at idle. Seriously, the idle exhaust note sounds like my old Volvo 740 when the muffler was half rusted through and starting to fall off. I genuinely hope that sound is due to low-quality sound recording equipment. Otherwise, there are bound to be some very, very disappointed playboys out there.

This video might be ridiculous, but still it is an awesome way to cook a turkey.

A data leak led to around 800,000 Volkswagen (VW) electric vehicles (EVs) having their location exposed online for several months, according to a report by German news magazine Der Spiegel.

The global incident impacted owners of EVs from VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda, with real-time location showing for the affected vehicles, whether they were at home, driving along the street, or, in the words of Der Spiegel, parked “in front of the brothel.”

Given existing tariffs and what’s in store from the Trump administration, you’d be forgiven for thinking the global race toward lower electric vehicle (EV) prices will not reach U.S. shores in 2025.

After all, Chinese manufacturers, who sell the least expensive EVs globally, have shelved plans to enter the U.S. market after 100% tariffs were imposed on China-made EVs in September.

Hyundai Ioniq 9 vs. Tesla Model Y: Does electric SUV beat the bestselling EV?
Hyundai Ioniq 9 driving

The long-awaited Hyundai Ioniq 9 is finally on the way, after months of waiting for what many hope will be a  true competitor to the Kia EV9. The electric SUV is likely to be one of the go-to options for those who want a larger EV at a lower price than the likes of the Rivian R1S. But, while it's larger than the Tesla Model Y, it's also likely to be a little more expensive.

The two vehicles are a bit different when it comes to things like performance, range, and charging. Is the Hyundai Ioniq 9 worth the extra cash, or should you go for the cheaper, yet smaller car? We put the two head-to-head to find out.
Design
The overall designs of the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Tesla Model Y are pretty different, and that may be enough to sway your buying decision. The Ioniq 9 is a true SUV; it's big and boxy, and while it looks a little sleeker than some SUVs thanks to its curved roofline, it's clearly larger than the Tesla Model Y. At the front of the Ioniq 9 is a long light bar separated into pixel-like blocks that helps give the vehicle a unique design motif. At the rear of the Ioniq 9, you'll also find pixel lights curving around the sides and top of the trunk. The Ioniq 9 measures 199.2 inches long, 78 inches wide, and 70.5 inches high.
