View post: Amazon Is Selling a 'Secure' $14 Car Phone Holder for 43% Off, and Shoppers Say It's 'By Far One of the Best' Ford received an eye-watering tariff bill last quarter, altering its 2025 financial guidance. The only correct way to modify something as heinous as the XM is to lean into its absurdity. Honda's Anna Engine Plant is celebrating 40 years of manufacturing excellence by gearing up for an electrified future. The Huracán Replacement Looks Classy in One-Off Form Lamborghini's shift toward electrified supercars continues with the introduction of the Temerario, the Italian marque's all-new plug-in hybrid coupe. The model represents the brand's departure from the Huracán and its long-serving V10 engine, which has been replaced by a more potent and efficient twin-turbo V8 hybrid setup. With the Temerario, Lamborghini completes its transition to a fully electrified product line alongside the Revuelto and the Urus SE. The latest development comes in the form of the first Temerario Ad Personam – a fully customized one-off model created by Lamborghini's personalization division. Revealed in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, during a private gathering, the build draws inspiration from the Mediterranean backdrop and introduces a tailored visual expression of the new hybrid Lamborghini. Porto Cervo Reflects the Flair of the Italian Coasts Dubbed the Temerario Porto Cervo, this one-off example is defined by a finish called Grigio Serget – a grey base that reveals embedded blue flakes under direct light. Gloss black elements in Nero Noctis outline the lower body, front splitter, rear diffuser, and side scoops. A slim pinstripe in Blu Royal provides a color break across the body, also found on the rear wing. Blue brake calipers hide behind Velador gloss black wheels, and matte black quad tailpipes add contrast at the rear. Inside, the blue-grey theme continues. Grigio Octans leather and Corsa Tex upholstery form the base of the cabin, while Blu Nethuns stitching and leather inserts appear across seat panels and door trims. Embroidery includes Lamborghini logos and a Temerario script with Tricolore detail along the cabin's rear wall.

A profile of the car is stitched into the doors, while matte carbon trim and a red-detailed carbon steering wheel reinforce the supercar's driver-oriented purpose. Two plaques mark this unit's uniqueness: one reads Ad Personam on the driver-side B-pillar, the other tagged 'Porto Cervo 2025' – to be replaced by the owner's custom plate before delivery. Mighty Quick Plug-In Hybrid V8 The Temerario is powered by an all-new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine paired with three electric motors. The gasoline engine alone delivers 789 hp with a 10,000 rpm redline. With hybrid assistance, total output reaches 907 hp. Power is routed to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. Lamborghini claims 0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 213 mph. The Temerario Porto Cervo is a one-off commission, though Lamborghini's Ad Personam program allows buyers to create similarly bespoke configurations. The standard model's MSRP hovers around $300,000. Production takes place alongside the Revuelto on Lamborghini's new hybrid-capable line in Sant'Agata Bolognese.

Tragic crash pic emerges after airline CEO's wife ‘ran down babysitter, 24, as lawyer dismisses claims she fled scene
TRAGIC pictures have revealed the aftermath of the fatal crash where a CEO's wife allegedly ran over a babysitter - with her lawyers shutting down claims she fled the scene. Vivian Alexandra Spohr, 51, the wife of billionaire Lufthansa boss Carsten Spohr, is alleged to have struck Gaia Costa with her car as she was crossing the road in Sardinia. 9 9 9 Spohr is now being investigated for negligent homicide - and her lawyers have rubbished previous reports that she fled the scene following the horror crash. They said that the 51-year-old driver actually gave first aid to the dying woman after realising what had happened. The babysitter tragically passed away after Spohr's SUV struck her as she attempted to walk across a zebra crossing in the Italian seaside resort of Porto Cervo. Costa is said to have raised her arm in an attempt to warn the BMW of her presence before being hit at around 1:30pm on Tuesday. Gaia was reportedly still alive when help reached her, but had sustained serious head injuries and tragically died at the scene, La Repubblica reported. Shocking pictures taken in the aftermath show Costa's body covered by a large white sheet and lying on the ground next to a black SUV. Several other emergency response vehicles were seen parked around the harrowing scene. Reports previously claimed that Spohr, who was driving with her daughter in the car, initially didn't notice the accident. She was said to have been stopped by a passerby before fainting after she saw what had happened. But Spohr's lawyer, Angelo Merlini, said on Saturday: "Contrary to what was previously reported, Vivian Spohr stopped after the accident and provided first aid to the girl. "However, after an initial attempt at resuscitation, Vivian Spohr lost consciousness and fainted." Merlini added that Spohr struck the woman at a "very low speed" with her car, which has an automatic transmission and is very heavy. One witness at the scene reportedly said that moments after the collision, the driver opened the door of the vehicle and "immediately realised what had happened, put her hands to her face and collapsed to the ground". Spohr had been on holiday at her family's holiday home in the seaside resort - but reportedly travelled back to Munich while prosecutor Milena Aucone was registering her as a suspect. Her lawyers said on Friday: "Vivian Spohr, who was involved in the tragic death, expresses her dismay and deep regret over this very serious accident. "She has placed herself at the complete disposal of the judicial authorities for the necessary investigations and, although aware that such a great personal loss cannot be remedied, will take steps to mitigate the consequences." 9 9 9 The billionaire's wife took alcohol and drug tests following the crash, and both came back negative. CCTV is understood to have captured Costa crossing the street before noticing the SUV approaching her. She desperately attempted to stop it by waving her hand - but she was knocked to the ground moments later and banged her head. Ambulance services arrived at the scene shortly after and paramedics spent more than 20 minutes trying to revive her before she was tragically pronounced dead. The SUV was seized and will undergo technical investigations. An examination of Costa's body was conducted on Wednesday. The region's mayor Gianni Addis said: "Gaia was a young woman who was deeply involved in the city's social and cultural life. "She was passionate about our traditions and never missed the parades of the local folk group." Cops continue to investigate the circumstances of the accident. 9 9

Wife of Airline CEO Fatally Strikes Pedestrian With SUV
The wife of Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr allegedly struck and killed a babysitter in a crosswalk while on vacation in Italy. Vivian Alexandra Spohr, 51, is under investigation for vehicular homicide after reportedly hitting Gaia Costa, 24, with her BMW X5 on Tuesday, the New York Post reported, citing Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. Costa was using a pedestrian crossing in the Sardinian resort town of Porto Cervo when she was hit. Vivian initially drove on, apparently unaware she had hit anyone, before being flagged down by a passerby and fainting upon discovering the accident, German newspaper Bild said. Paramedics attempted to revive Costa, who had been on her way to her babysitting job, for 20 minutes, but she died from severe head injuries at the scene. While Carsten, 58, was not in the car at the time of the accident, Vivian was reportedly driving with their daughter. The family owns a vacation home near the scene of the collision. Vivian flew back to Munich, Germany, shortly after the accident. Her attorney, Angelo Merlini, told La Repubblica that she is 'at the complete disposal of the judicial authorities for the necessary investigations.' Merlini said Vivian 'expresses her dismay and deep regret over this very serious accident.' A lawyer for the Spohrs, who have two daughters, told Bild that the family has 'expressed their deepest condolences to the victim's relatives.' Investigators are reportedly looking into whether Vivian was distracted by her phone at the time of the accident. An alcohol and drug test reportedly came back negative. Porto Cervo mayor Gianni Addis described Costa as 'hard-working and cheerful.' 'Gaia was a young woman who was deeply involved in the city's social and cultural life,' he said, according to The Telegraph. 'She was passionate about our traditions and never missed the parades of the local folk group.' Vivian is a patron of a Lufthansa charity foundation that supports children and young people. Carsten has been the chairman and CEO of Lufthansa since 2014. He earned more than €5.6 million in compensation in 2023, according to Yahoo Finance.
