The bidder for the block, Adrian ‘Mr. Lambo’ Portelli has downsized what he drives from an $800,000 sports car to a $40,000 Audi, after complaining that he was flaunting his lifestyle.
The millionaire real estate investor, 35, known for his multimillion-dollar sports car collection, shared a photo on Instagram on Saturday of him posing up a storm with his more modest new vehicle.
Portelli was all smiles in the photo as he stood next to the stylish four-door, which had a funny sticker on the rear window that read: “My other car is a Lamborghini.”
He captioned the snap with some telling words: ‘A couple of people hurt by my recent vehicle purchases.
“So I’ve decided to tone it down and drive my little Audi A1 for a while.”

However, fans were quick to notice that the vehicle sported a unique license plate that read “20,” with one person claiming that the cost of purchasing that license plate would have exceeded the price of the car.
“I think your license plate is worth more than my car,” one follower wrote, and a second person added: “It sold on Tuesday for $2.54 million.”
