After receiving the ticket, he took his supercar to a Lamborghini dealer in Manhattan, where they confirmed what he already knew: his Huracan Performante is as stock as they come.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-a-mid&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-oc-2&#215;1&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article Thumbnails Organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawsuit, the Lamborghini owner &ldquo;didn&rsquo;t cause or permit the total sound from the vehicle to exceed the sound level restrictions&rdquo;, and &ldquo;operated the vehicle in an ordinary and reasonable manner&rdquo;. The document states that the only way for Aquilino to avoid future fines is to stop driving the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/supercar\">supercar<\/a>, something that would be &ldquo;undoubtedly unreasonable&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>The Lamborghini owner claims that his supercar triggered the noise camera while &ldquo;slowing down and going up 41st Street&rdquo;, suggesting that speed wasn&rsquo;t a factor to the loud noise. While this might be true in this particular occasion, the records on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howsmydrivingny.nyc\/\">How&rsquo;s My Driving NY<\/a> website suggest that the supercar received two more tickets on the same day, for running a red light and for speeding in a school zone.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lamborghini-Huracan-Performante.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Bone-Stock Lamborghini Owner Sues NYC Over $800 Noise Camera Ticket\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1036\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Lamborghini-Huracan-Performante-1024x424.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lamborghini Huracan Performante<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/lamborghini\/\">Lamborghini<\/a> owner took aim at the steep fines: &ldquo;The fine amount is $800 for the first offense. The second offense is $1,700 &amp; the third offense is $2,700. How can anybody afford that? Especially if the city wants to move these cameras all across the five boroughs.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the original announcement for New York&rsquo;s &ldquo;Stop Loud and Excessive Exhaust Pollution Act&rdquo; mentioned that the goal was to &ldquo;increase enforcement against motorists and repair shops that illegally modify mufflers and exhaust systems to make them excessively noisy for motor vehicles and motorcycles&rdquo;. <\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, after the story got published by the New York Post, a spokesperson of the city&rsquo;s Department of Environmental Protection issued the following statement: &ldquo;The New York City Noise Code, which sets the legal limit for noise within the five boroughs, applies to all motor vehicles, whether they are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/tuning\/\">modified<\/a>, or not&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>The Lamborghini Huracan Performante is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2020\/06\/lamborghini-huracan-performante-sounds-mental-hits-205-mph\/\">significantly louder than most vehicles<\/a>, while still being compliant with the sound regulations in the US. The special edition of the V10-powered supercar was produced between 2017 and 2019 as the performance flagship of the Huracan range, before passing the baton to the even wilder STO.<\/p>\n<p>Judging by the above, many high-performance model and supercar owners might be in for a rude awakening from New York&rsquo;s noise cameras, even if their rides don&rsquo;t sport any sound-enhancing modifications. If that&rsquo;s the case, we&rsquo;d hate to see what happens when something as famously loud as a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale hits the streets &mdash; it would probably set off every noise camera in its path.<\/p>\n<div id=\"e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p> var adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n         adpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n             if (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n    adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758&#8221;);<br \/>\n             }<br \/>\nelse{<\/p>\n<p>     adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130&#8221;);<br \/>\n}         });<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The owner of a Lamborghini Huracan Performante received a $800 fine from a noise camera.
