A Lamborghini driver criticized the brand’s build quality, demonstrating creaky plastic bits in its interior. Maz (@closedbymaz) posted a clip of himself to TikTok sitting in the interior of a blue Huracán where he digs his fingers into various points of the sports car’s cabin.
The “insane build test” video garnered over 3.5 million views on the popular social media platform. Furthermore, it prompted a wave of different responses from other users on the application who had varying thoughts on the materials utilized in the Huracán’s construction.
Maz’s clip begins with him focusing on the Lamborghini’s steering wheel beneath a text overlay that reads, “$250k car btw.” Next, he directs his camera lens toward the Lamborghini’s infotainment system. It’s here that he presses into a plastic strip surrounding the vehicle’s screen. It squeaks beneath the pressure before he moves his hand down to the car’s shifting buttons. The covering here beneath the “Start | Stop” ignition toggle also groans in a similar fashion.
However, it’s not just this plastic that flexes beneath the pressure of his hand; the armrest does too. The TikToker then directs his efforts to the air conditioning housing. This portion of the vehicle also has considerable give and wiggle as he applies some force to it.
Lamborghini Seats, Too
Maz’s clip then transitions to him tugging on the passenger’s side seatbelt. After he pulls on it, the Huracán’s belt extends, but then remains floppy, not returning to its compartment, bringing the social media user’s clip to a close.
In a separate clip titled “Miami Prius Build Test,” he shows off the sounds of the Huracán’s buttons. The driver engages a variety of different knobs, switches, and levers, pressing them numerous times for some ASMR-style content. If the two videos are meant as a criticism of the sports car, Maz’s other videos don’t seem to indicate he is displeased with the vehicle.
In spite of the build quality critiques and check engine light woes, Maz uploaded another video of him driving his Huracán. An on-screen caption in the clip reads, “love this feeling,” as he rolls down a highway with the car’s top down.
More Lamborghini Slander
Some of Maz’s content appears to echo judgments of the brand’s fit and finish that others online have made. This content creator, for instance, has made a series of videos demonstrating that high prices don’t always equate to durability. In one of his videos, the man shows off a yellow Lamborghini Urus.
As the clip progresses, he circles the car’s exterior, gripping and shaking various components until they wiggle, fold, loosen, and break off. Everything from the Urus’s windows to its door panels, cup holders, and dashboard plastic covers crumbles. He even manages to extricate its air conditioning vents before throwing them to the ground.
At one point in the clip, he wrenches the infotainment screen from the car’s dash, highlighting an Audi sticker on its back. It’s an indicator that the Urus is built on the same platform as the Audi Q8. Other pieces of the vehicle don’t fare so well, either. Its rear hatch door wiggles as he pushes and pulls it in a terse, staccato movement.
The wheel well covers are easily pried off and tossed to the ground with his fingers. As are the plastic engine covers under the hood and the plastic molding bits surrounding its interior seats.
Commenters React
Folks who responded to Maz’s video had varying opinions on the Huracán’s build quality. One person quipped that this reason alone is why they didn’t purchase one. “Yeah that’s why I didn’t buy one,” they penned.
Another replied that the car’s interior isn’t the reason why one purchases a Lamborghini: They’re built for speed. “You [are] not supposed to press anything besides the gas pedal,” they remarked.
Others highlighted that the “cheap” plastic in Lamborghinis is utilized as a means to keep the car’s heft down. “What you want all metal?” one questioned.
Someone else echoed the aforementioned sentiment, penning, “It’s for weight reduction ofc they use cheap plastic.”
“Did you expect luxury or speed,” another replied.
One viewer stated that there’s a distinct difference between optimizing luxury versus acceleration and handling. “You’re paying for an engine and extreme speed, not comfort. You want comfort? Go to Rolls or an S class,” they wrote.
