Lamborghini Huracan Driver Taunts Authorities, Wins Challenge On Excessive Noise

An Australian Lamborghini Huracan owner proved that race cars do not necessarily have to pay tons of money for a fine due to unnecessary noise. Recent reports revealed that after he appeared in court and protested the accusations, eventually, he came out the winner of the case!

Last year, Mark Trueno was fined and received a ticket for unnecessary noise when he drove his Lamborghini Huracan along a hotel in Brisbane, Queensland. After he received such, Trueno went his way and protested the ticket since he believed that it's not necessarily about the money but that he wanted to stick to his principles, reported Jalopnik.

With that, he appeared in court with multiple witnesses present at the trial. His lawyer attested that it's easy for police on the road to just go ahead and blame a driver with a high-performance car to be guilty of unnecessary noise. In fact, he added that police usually throw baseless accusations and allegations that give drivers a bad name. It was even a burden for Trueno to have spent $1,500 worth of legal bills to raise his protest. However, when he won, he did prove that it's not about the money but standing up for being a driver of a good car - that not everyone who drives such is a nuisance to society.

In other news, Car Buzz reported that the Lamborghini Hurucan is a cheaper version of the brand's franchise. Although Lamborghinis are considered as members of the supercar family, it has been deemed to be the most affordable of the bunch. In fact, it was revealed that it has similar features with that of the Audi R8. When it would need repair, a car owner alleged that it was easy for him to take the model to an Audi dealership and had it fixed there.

Still, parts of the reason why people love the Lamborghini Huracan is its flexibility when it came to its maintenance. For Mark Trueno, it's because he loves the car so much that he would go to court to prove that unnecessary noise is not a feasible option for police to give him a ticket. It really was not about the money but a matter of driver principles.
