The Lamborghini Urus SE is terrible value for money. Good!
The Lamborghini Urus SE I am testing comes with a sticker price just under $430,000. Wondering if Lamborghini can objectively justify that price tag? Of course it can't.
For that money, you could buy two fully loaded Porsche Cayenne Turbos — a vehicle with which the Urus shares both a platform and a number of fundamental components.

A wealthy businessman challenging Guyana's president in an upcoming election faces new allegations
GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — A wealthy businessman in Guyana who was sanctioned last year by the U.S. and who plans to challenge the South American country's president in upcoming elections is facing new accusations. Azruddin Mohamed appeared in court on Thursday after being charged with false tax declaration and under-invoicing a luxury vehicle. He pleaded not guilty. His appearance comes just days after he announced plans to challenge the ruling People's Progressive Party by creating a new party with dozens of candidates as the oil-rich country prepares for a general election on Sept. 1. Mohamed, a member of one of Guyana's wealthiest families, used to be a well-known donor to the ruling party. But in recent months, he clashed with tax officials over an invoice he submitted a couple years ago indicating that he paid $75,000 for a Lamborghini, when the government stated it was valued at $575,000. He was freed Thursday on a $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court next month for trial. If found guilty, he could face up to three years in prison. Mohamed, who has been traveling across Guyana to donate cash, vehicles and new homes ahead of the Sept. 1 election, claims he is being targeted for challenging the ruling party. He has alleged that President Irfaan Ali, once a close ally, allowed his vehicle to be cleared from customs with the valuation he submitted. Ali has not publicly responded to those accusations. Meanwhile, Attorney General Anil Nandlall has denied that Mohamed is being targeted and has said that the U.S. supplied the receipt and other information regarding the vehicle. Last year, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Mohamed, his father, their gold-exporting company and a government official 'for their roles in public corruption' in a bribery scheme that authorities said ran from 2019 to 2023. U.S. officials accused the Mohameds of evading $50 million worth of duty taxes on gold exports and under declaring exports involving more than 22,000 pounds (10,000 kilograms) worth of gold. Their company also was accused of bribing customs officials to falsify and export documents.

Evander Kane flexing his muscle for Edmonton Oilers during playoff run
Evander Kane, who likes his wheels, drove a rented Lamborghini to the Arena in Los Angeles before Game 5 of the first-round playoff series, a Ferrari to Rogers Place before Game 3 here against Vegas last Saturday, and hopped into a Rolls Royce for a more sedate ride to the rink to prepare for Game 4 Monday. But really, a vintage Pontiac GTO, a Plymouth Barracuda, or a Shelby T350 would have fit his growling style better after the Edmonton Oilers 3-0 win. 'Maybe a muscle car, instead?' he was asked.

He didn't dispute the idea, laughing at the post-game question after he definitely took the dirt road Monday. Much of his work was around the blue paint, much of it in Vegas goalie Adin Hill's kitchen, so much so the heated Hill raced out of the net after the Edmonton Oilers winger tumbled over him after being shoved by Brayden McNabb, shortly after Adam Henrique's second goal — the fuming Hill whacking Kane with his blocker as a dust-up erupted along the boards. Hill did lose his cool. Hall of Fame goalie/commentator Henrik Lundqvist on the TNT broadcast in the U.S. said Hill would be best to calm down going forward and Hill did just that over the last 40 minutes keeping Vegas in the game . But Kane kept her revved up and he wasn't in a Lamborghini, like stopping to pick up Connor Brown for a ride as was in LA. Instead, Kane was a beast on the road, yeah, like a '66 Barracuda, loud and proud in Game 4. After missing all 82 league games and the first playoff game in the opening round against Los Angeles, Kane was everywhere on the stats sheet in Game 4 against the Golden Knights. He assisted on the Henrique's second goal, then he whipped a shot off McNabb's skate with the puck redirecting from short side to 5-hole to beat Hill in the second off a rush to make it 3-0. In the first 40 minutes, he only played 7:38 but had two points, five hits and was plus 3. In the nine games he's played this spring, he has four goals and seven points. 'Evander's is a gamer. He loves the big pressure games when there's a lot on the line,' said Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch. 'The physical play, scoring a big goal for us, crashing the net, winning puck battles. We saw it all. We have a lot of physicality throughout our lineup. (Zach) Hyman (65 hits this playoffs) has done a ton of it, (Vasily) Podkolzin, (Kasperi) Kapanen (five hits in his first game of the playoffs). It's nice to have that element but the guy who leads the charge is Kane.' He loved the interaction with Hill, of course. The meaner the better. 'I don't know if we were purposely trying to get into his head, but he seemed to be taking some slashes against us,' said Kane. 'It's tough to avoid contact when you're being cross-checked into him… we want to go there hard and play within the rules and not have goals disallowed. 'They have two defencemen who just stand by the net the entire time… it's hard to get inside and you have to battle.' Anybody who says they knew Kane would be this effective after not playing since last June, is lying through their teeth. Many thought he would be gassed trying to catch the moving train because everybody else had been playing from October through mid April. Kane had no training camp, no league games as prep for the playoffs. But now, those who second-guessed Kane need to be on an apology-tour. For sure, Kane was a shadow of his usual post-season, rambunctious self last spring, gutting it out on two bad legs and a prayer with his serious abdominal issues to just dress for games. Now, we all saw what he does best in Game 4 with Kane scoring his 24th goal in his 56th playoff game with the Oilers over the past four years. He hasn't just been a participant, to borrow one of Hall of Fame coach Ken Hitchcock's lines about players returning to lineups. He's been a huge factor. 'Am I surprised? No. I had confidence. I didn't necessarily set expectations but feeling good and healthy and being able to do what I do on the ice, I thought I'd be able to give myself a better opportunity (to contribute) than I did last year,' said Kane. He did some good early playoff work with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Hyman, and Monday he was with Henrique and Brown. Not just along for the ride. 'He's moving, skating, his agility, everything is much better (than last year),' said Knoblauch. 'The skill, being able to make plays on the wall, he's making plays under pressure again. Last year he wasn't practising very much (playoffs and late in the season). Because of that, his mobility was laboured. It's difficult to play that way. 'This year, he's getting up and down the ice better. He's putting more oomph into the hits. He just looks like a different player.' Kane is a proud guy. He never wanted to come out of the lineup in the Stanley Cup Final. He was pacing outside the dressing room in a team track-suit between periods of Game 7 in Florida with Sam Gagner, looking for all the world like he wanted to punch his fist through a wall. But, he just couldn't skate. Now, well, we all saw how he was in Game 4 Monday, in the frame of most of the action photos, and not in the background. Like he's been through the first three weeks of the playoffs. This has been like a trade deadline acquisition gone great. Henrique sat beside Kane at the podium post-game, and didn't stickhandle when asked about the winger's presence during the shutout win. He was clear and direct. 'From every standpoint he was there… we talked about playing with energy right off the bat and Kaner gets in there, mixes things up, and other guys are following suit, shift after shift,' said Henrique. Kane set the physical tone on his first shift, in the game's first 90 seconds. He bolted into the Vegas end, bumped Zach Whitecloud behind the net as Whitecloud tried to reverse it to his defence partner. Brown picked off the pass and found Henrique all alone. Kane didn't get an official assist on the play, but he started the chain-reaction on the goal on Hill. 'He's (Kane) playing an amazing game for us, it's pretty impressive. There's a lot to thank him for,' said Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner, watching it all unfold from the other end. Just as Skinner got his fair share of high-fives and hugs after his shutout. Two big wheels on this crucial night. Bookmark our website and support our journalism: Don't miss the news you need to know — add and to your bookmarks and sign up for our newsletters .
