Adrian ‘Mr. Lambo’ Portelli revealed he is adding another very luxurious sports car to his multimillion dollar collection after coming under fire for his pricey purchases.
The Block bidder, 35, took to Instagram on Friday to reveal that he and his son Mercy, five months, were visiting a specialist car manufacturer in Sweden.
He shared a snap of himself lovingly cradling his infant son, who he shares with his partner Karlie Butler, as he eyed up his latest luxury car purchase.
The $4.5million sports car is still under construction at the Koenigsegg Jesko factory in Ängelholm, Sweden, and Adrian’s purchase comes just days after he bought another lavish car in London.
According to Car and Driver magazine, the impressive Koenigsegg Jesko is known as a ‘supercar’ and is built to achieve speeds of over 400kms an hour.

The car fanatic captioned the snap with some telling words: ‘A couple of butt-hurt people about my recent vehicle purchases. So I’ve decided to tone it down and drive my little Audi A1 for a while.’
