BYD’s Overseas Revenue Surges Past Domestic as H1 2026 Slump Shifts Growth Worldwide

BYD generated 53% of its H1 2026 revenue overseas (181.3B yuan, +34%), while China revenue fell 31% and the BYD brand declined about 46%. Overseas car sales reached 792k (up 70.6%), with August’s 190k a record (+134%). Overseas gross margin reached 22%, helping offset a domestic market under pressure from a PHEV slump. The company is expanding in Europe, Southeast Asia and Latin America (Brazil a key market) and investing in local plants; BEV growth outpaced PHEV in early H2, even as China’s PHEV market remains weak. Domestic July retail fell ~21% YoY; exports rose ~88%.

Lamborghini Temerario Becomes Rolling Design Sketches

Lamborghini's Ad Personam program turns two Temerarios into rolling design sketches inspired by the carmaker's early concept drawings, with one finished in Grigio Crater Matt featuring Grigio Artis lines and the other in Celeste Fedra blue with Bianco Phanes accents and the Alleggerita lightweight pack; interiors use distinct materials (black leather with Gessato wool pinstripes on the gray car, and Dinamica Corsa Tex on the blue), and both rely on a plug-in 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors, offering 2.7 seconds to 62 mph and 7.1 seconds to 124 mph while ditching the natural V10.

Lamborghini Unleashes the Fastest Urus Yet: 800-HP SE Performante

Lamborghini has introduced the Urus SE Performante, the most powerful version yet, delivering 800 hp and 738 lb-ft from a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 combined with a 25.9 kWh plug-in hybrid. It accelerates 0-62 mph in 3.3 seconds and reaches 194 mph, with up to 37 miles of electric range. The car weighs about 70 lb less than the Urus SE thanks to extensive carbon-fiber use, gains 3% lower drag and 16% higher downforce via aero updates, plus lighter exhaust, brakes, and NVH improvements. Estimated price around $300k; exact pricing not announced.

Lamborghini Temerario leapfrogs Huracán with a 907-hp hybrid V8

Lamborghini’s all-new Temerario replaces the Huracán with a 4.0L twin‑turbo V8 paired to an axial‑flux electric motor and two front motors for a combined 907 hp and 538 lb-ft, plus a 3.8 kWh battery that delivers about 6 miles of all‑electric range. The car sits on a new aluminum spaceframe about 20% stiffer than the Huracán’s, weighs roughly 3,726 lb dry, and prioritizes a cockpit with real buttons and a driver‑focused layout. Four main drive modes (Citta, Strada, Sport, Corsa) and an Alleggerita aero package raise downforce and track readiness, with the package adding faster aero, carbon components, and track tires at about a $45k premium on top of a base price around $389k (as-tested near $487k). The Temerario smooths highway cruising, thrills on canyon runs, and marks a bold evolution for Lamborghini’s flagship lineup.
