Lamborghini Revuelto recalled in Australia amid lethal risk
The recall states that pins supporting the iconic Revuelto doors may fail, potentially causing them to drop unexpectedly onto passengers or become difficult to open.
According to the recall notice, Lamborghini Revuelto vehicles manufactured between 2023 and 2024 are affected.
The supercar retails for more than $1m.
The notice, submitted to the Australian Department of Infrastructure, states that 'the pin supporting the door gas springs may not have been assembled according to manufacturing specifications, which could cause it to become loose or detach.'
'If this occurs when in the open position, the door may descend downwards with significant force on the driver or passenger.
'Additionally, excess force may be required to open the door from the inside of the vehicle, and the occupant may need extra time to exit the vehicle.
'In the event of an emergency, if the occupant is unable to exit the vehicle quickly and/or if the door descends with force on the driver or passenger, it will increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.'
Automobili Lamborghini says it will notify all affected owners.
Affected owners are instructed to arrange an appointment with an authorised Lamborghini dealer to inspect the tightening of the door gas spring pins. A free fix will be provided.

2025 Renault Duster review
You might have heard of the Dacia Duster. Or not. But it's the Renault Duster that we get in Australia, and this small SUV – built in Romania, sold with a French badge – has been a long time coming. The brand's importer, Ateco Automotive, has been discussing bringing the Duster to our market for years, and now, it's finally here – and it's come to play. Or, at least, be playful. Because the Duster has a manual gearbox. And all-wheel drive. And that makes it more like a Suzuki Jimny than any other model in the segment. There are two engine options to pick from: the more popular one will be a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder with a seven-speed dual-clutch auto gearbox and front-wheel drive. It packs a healthy 113kW/270Nm. Then there's the other engine, a thrummy three-cylinder turbo engine with mild-hybrid tech that offers up 96kW/230Nm, and comes with a six-speed stick shift and all-wheel drive. You can pick either of the powertrains in the two grades of Duster on offer. The Evolution version starts from about $35,000 drive-away for the FWD auto, while the AWD manual is about $39,000 drive-away. You get 17-inch wheels, LED daytime running lights, halogen headlights, a turnkey ignition, a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with wired/wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, and the AWD model gets some off-road modes. The higher-spec Techno variant adds some goodies and asks about $40,000 for the auto, and $41,500 for the manual AWD. The extra spend gets you bigger wheels, push-button start, different interior finishing, a (poor quality) surround-view camera and blind-spot monitoring. The interior has a simple, hard-wearing aesthetic, with, er, easy-wipe surfaces on the doors, and even the elbow rests in the back (and even the front ones in the base grades). You might think there's no physical volume controls, but there are buttons on top of the media screen, which is pretty easy to get your head around. And there's not an 'overwhelming' amount of tech here. It's liveable, and so are the safety systems on offer … because it doesn't have all the annoying ones, but still has speed-sign recognition and lane-keep assist. It's a relatively small SUV at less than 4.4m long, and the rear seat space is tight, and isn't overly rich in terms of inclusions. But there are ISOFIX points and top-tethers for kid-seats, and air vents, too. The high-spec model gets roof bars that can turn into roof racks, and there's a full-size steel spare wheel in all versions, too. But the FWD model gets a bigger boot, with an adjustable floor in the high-grade, that allows it up to 472L. The AWD model has a multi-link rear suspension (as opposed to a torsion beam) and a smaller boot capacity of 358L. This is a fun little machine to drive, with a heap of torque in the auto version, and thankfully not too much lagginess from the gearbox. It might spin those front tyres, though. 

The manual is a hoot, with a different character entirely. More involving, more fun, and the three-pot engine is a giggle-inducing little thing. It's easy to drive, with predictable steering and fun handling, and the ride comfort is impressive over rough surfaces, rail crossings and rumble strips. Renault offers a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty plan, with five years of roadside assistance included for free. The service intervals are staggering – 12 months and 30,000km. I wouldn't be leaving my turbo engine that long between visits. It won't suit everyone but for those willing to think outside or the standard list of options, they'll be getting a fun, funky and functional small SUV. VERDICT 4 STARS

Hand-voiced by technicians, award-winning Sonus faber pedigree included. Offered in five Lamborghini finishes, individually numbered. While their hybrid V12-powered supercar, the Revuelto, is at the top of the class when it comes to speed, Lamborghini might have just conquered the audio and speakers category.

Limited to just 50 pairs globally, with each specific number displayed on the speaker alongside the Lamborghini badge and Sonus Faber logo, the price-tag makes the optional Sonus faber sound system (approx. AUD$10,000) in the new AUD$987,000 plus on-road costs Lamborghini Revuelto seem pretty cost effective. Despite the rather absurd price-tag, the Sonus faber Il Cremonese Ex3me – Automobili Lamborghini Edition speakers are amongst the best floorstanding loundspeakers available. The non-Lamborghini-branded Sonus faber Il Cremonese Ex3me speakers are priced at AUD$129,995, and they come from an award-winning high-end audio house whose Stradivari G2 floorstanding loudspeaker received the prestigious Stereo Sound 'Grand Prix Golden Sound' award last year.

Aussies explode over Albo's latest cash grab
Don't miss out on the headlines from Motoring. Followed categories will be added to My News. Earlier this week, we published a story about the Federal Government's intention to introduce a road user charge (RUC) for electric vehicle (EV) owners. A per-kilometre tax to replace the fuel excise revenue lost as more Australians switch to electric vehicles. The proposal encouraged more than 2000 readers to comment. What followed was a passionate public policy debate, part stand-up comedy and a masterclass in Australian scepticism. RELATED: Carmaker's fury over Albo's new road tax Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers has long flagged the development of a new road-user charge across Australia for drivers of electric vehicles to ensure EV drivers are contributing a fair share to road upgrades. Picture: NewsWire / Martin Ollman While the conversation is divided, a large majority of readers believe EV drivers should contribute to road maintenance. But many also say the policy must be fair, transparent and apply equally across all vehicle types. 'Tax the trucks, not the Teslas,' one reader wrote, summing up a sentiment that hundreds of readers agreed with. Another, HelpMeOverHere, accused the government of double standards: 'A mining truck the size of a suburban street guzzles thousands of litres a week and gets all the fuel tax refunded.' The 'free ride' is over Many of our readers argue it's simply time for EV owners to pay their way. They believe that EV owners are currently getting a 'free ride' by avoiding the fuel excise, which raises more than $15 billion annually. 'There is not one solitary argument that supports the notion that EV drivers should be able to use the roads and not contribute to their upkeep. Not one,' nonedeplume said. RELATED: New EV tax makes no sense Heavy vehicles cause heavy road damage. Stephen argued: 'EV manufacturers are upset that the free ride is coming to an end and the EV drivers will have to pay to use the road like everyone else.' But others saw it less as fairness, more as the government's latest 'gotcha' tax. 'It's always the proletariat that has to pay for incompetent government,' Walker Texas Ranger said. 'Just another tax to prevent us from moving up in the world.' Some readers proposed replacing the fuel excise entirely with a universal RUC. 'Why don't we scrap the fuel excise and then just apply a RUC to all road users - that would then be fair to ALL road users regardless of what type of fuel (petrol, diesel, EV, hybrid),' Gaynor said. The trucking elephant in the room A big chunk of outrage was over Australia's heavy freight industry. Many said heavy vehicles are the 'culprits' and should pay more, given their impact on infrastructure. Fair enough. RELATED: What new Albo road tax would mean for you EV owners fear a new road tax will hit them harder than fuel guzzlers. Picture: AFP Infrastructure Australia data shows that one five-axle truck causes the same road wear as 2900 cars. The actual ratio varies depending on factors like axle weight and road construction, but a truck's damage is often cited as being much higher than 2900. Currently, heavy vehicles pay a RUC of 32.4 cents per litre, set to rise 6 per cent annually until 2025-2026. They also pay the federal fuel excise, now around 51-52 cents per litre - but operators can claim back the difference through fuel tax credits, reducing their net cost by about 20 cents per litre. 'Trucks are the issue,' Grande_choice said. 'All those regional roads are getting slammed by trucks but not EVs.' Aussie drivers are split over who should really pay the price. Picture NCA Newswire / Gaye Gerard Rural drivers fear being slugged harder Polestar Australia's managing director Scott Maynard said a one-size-fits-all approach could unfairly hit regional drivers who travel long distances for essential services. According to Australians tend to drive longer distances for essentials and often live further out because property is more affordable. 'People in regional areas generally are poorer and drive more distances to get from A to B,' BobtheBuilder said. 'Hence why the CEO (Scott Maynard) makes the point that they will be discriminated against.' Reader Vicki agreed: 'I'm rural and 75km from my nearest town, doctor, supermarket…city EV owners with public transport will cost them nothing, and rural/regional drivers big money. When the policy debate turned into a comedy set In between the policy arguments came some memorable one-liners that had me chuckling hard. 'If it can't be eaten or plucked, it will be taxed.' 'The word of the day is fungible.' 'I'm just going to wait until a hamster-powered car comes out.' 'How about we bring in a tax on breathing?' Another day, another tax for Albo?. Picture: NewsWire / Nikki Short The green glow-up….or greenwash? Some readers went straight for the environmental jugular. 'It's time the idealists wake up to the fact that electric cars aren't better for the environment…they will never pay off the carbon footprint cost of making the batteries,' Mark wrote. But Adam added, 'battery disposal facilities are already at 90+ per cent recyclability…the 'cut even' point for emissions is approx 37,000km.' Trusting the government…like trusting a cheating ex Underlying much of the conversation was the distrust of the government. Even commenters who back the idea of EVs paying said they didn't trust Canberra to use the money for roads. 'For FY23-24 the fuel excise raised $15b while [the] government only spent $10bn on roads,' Bryn wrote. 'When is it enough?' 'It's just revenue raising,' Jeff said. 'Once they have you hooked, they tax you.' The road ahead So the consensus? Most readers agree that EV drivers should pay and contribute. But it's simple, they want it to be fair. If the government can deliver that, they might just win people over. But if not, they'll be left with a few angry Australians. Originally published as Aussies explode over Albo's latest cash grab
