Rezvani Made a Bulletproof Lamborghini Urus, Naturally

Rezvani Made a Bulletproof Lamborghini Urus, Naturally

Motor 112-05-2025

Rezvani has done it again. The boutique exotic carmaker known for building strange fighter jet-inspired cars has released an SUV based on the
Lamborghini Urus
. Called the Rezvani Knight, it has all of the wacky design cues you'd expect from the California-based brand, plus up to 800 horsepower from a twin-turbo V-8.
The flat gunmetal grey paint and angular body panels are enough to set the car apart from the Urus it's based on, with slim exterior lighting, a light bar mounted to the roof, and a large rear spoiler. There are beefy fender flares for the 22-inch wheels and 33-inch all-terrain tires, suggesting real off-road prowess.

"The goal was to push the limits of merging aggressive supercar styling and performance with daily practicality and off-road capability," CEO Ferris Rezvani said in a statement.
The Knight uses the Urus's twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, tuned to up to 800 horsepower, depending on buyer preference. That's 143 horsepower over the last-gen Urus, but just an 11-hp bump from the new hybridized
Urus SE
. Nevertheless, Rezvani promises a 0-60 mph time of 3.0 seconds—nearly half a second quicker than the battery-assisted Urus.
The Knight's biggest party trick is the optional "Dark Knight" package. It's a comprehensive set of upgrades that turns the Knight from a normal performance SUV into a quasi-tank. Check the option box, and you get bulletproof glass and body panels, underside explosive protection, military-spec run-flat tires, a steel ram bumper, and a reinforced suspension.
Inside, the Dark Knight package adds gas masks, a first aid kit, a pepper spray dispenser, an intercom system, and a handful of optional sirens, horns, and strobe lights. No matter the situation, this package has a solution (or, in some cases, a deterrent).

Like all Rezvanis, the Knight will be expensive and highly limited. The company promises to build just 100 examples, each costing $149,000 to start. And that's before adding in the price of a donor car. Factor in the Dark Knight package, and we wouldn't be surprised to see some highly-specced Knights cross the half-million-dollar mark.

Apple CarPlay Gets Prettier and More Robust with iOS 26 Update

Apple has revealed its latest operating system, iOS 26, which includes a new-and-improved version of CarPlay. The updated Apple CarPlay has a more attractive appearance and features that are designed to be easier for drivers to use. The smartphone-mirroring software makes incoming calls less obnoxious, enables useful widgets, and makes messaging less distracting. Apple CarPlay is an essential part of many people's daily lives. Well, at least those who have a contemporary iPhone and a compatible car that allows them to run the software through its infotainment system. Luckily for most iPhone users, the vast majority of new vehicles are equipped with CarPlay, and now the ubiquitous feature has received notable updates as part of Apple's new iOS 26. A New Way to CarPlay If you're wondering how Apple's software went from the current 18.5 version to 26, don't worry, you're not losing your mind. When the tech company announced the latest iteration of its operating system yesterday during the World Wide Developers Conference (a.k.a. WWDC), it revealed a new naming scheme that transitions from the old convention to one that aligns with the year—in this case, 2026. So, what does iOS 26 change with the CarPlay user experience? Let's take a look. Apple Apple Apple Apple Apple Eric Stafford Managing Editor, News Eric Stafford's automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual '97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a '90 Honda CRX Si. Read full bio

Tesla asks its remaining fans to make 90 second ads. You might recognize this TeslaVision campaign seeking fan-submitted ads as a callback to the Project Loveday contest from 2017 (that was the year the Model 3 started shipping, but the new Roadster and Semi did not). Beyond the request for free advertising labor amid an ongoing brand crisis and political quagmire, Tesla's 2025 request is also designed to try to flood social media, requiring posts on YouTube, X, and Instagram by July 17th to maybe win a Model Y and a trip to Gigafactory Texas.
