Sell your oven and buy a Lamborghini … your supercar can cook turkey, too

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.

2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan gets new face, bigger battery

2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan front-quarter view.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan arrived during the 2022 model year as the flagship of Mercedes' EV fleet. But now that it's been on sale for a few years, it's time for this flagship to get a refit so that it can stay competitive with other six-figure electric sedans like the BMW i7, Lucid Air, and Tesla Model S. The updated EQS sedan is scheduled to reach dealerships later this year as a 2025 model.

One of the most controversial features of the EQS has been its unorthodox streamlined shape, which makes the EQS one of the most aerodynamic sedans around, but also means it doesn't look much like a traditional Mercedes. For 2025, the EQS takes a step closer to that traditional look with a new grille featuring chrome bars like on the Mercedes S-Class. It also sports the brand's trademark hood ornament.

Mercedes-Benz EQG: range, price, release date, and more

Concept image of the larger electric G-Wagon

The G-Class is going electric. We already knew that Mercedes-Benz was working on an electric, small-size G-Wagon, but it looks like the company is also working on a larger G-Class SUV, in the form of the EQG. In fact, Mercedes has gone as far as to show off a concept version of the off-roader.

While there's much we don't know about what will become the production model of the EQG, Mercedes has also shared a lot about it. Curious about whether the Mercedes-Benz EQG could be the EV for you? Here's everything we know so far.
Design
Fear not -- the EQG will retain many of the design aspects of the G-Class that you already know and love but with a modern face-lift. The EQG will keep the boxy design that gives the G-Class a classic look but with some additional modern styling, at least if the concept version is anything to go by.
