A Lamborghini Huracan owner is facing reckless driving charges after Indiana police received a tip about his speed, which reportedly sometimes exceeds 200 miles per hour. The icing on the cake, of course, was that it was posted on YouTube before it was finally taken down. It does not matter, however, because he claims that his videos are “misleadingly processed” to make his car look faster than it is.
Thirty-three-year-old Gabriel Sleiman, owner of Keep Swingin Garage, was formally charged this week by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. The charges were filed after Indiana State Police Crash Reconstructionists reviewed the video and were able to determine that the Lamborghini Huracan allegedly drove at least 198 miles per hour while overtaking another car.
According to a local fox subsidiary, the video shows a black Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 stopping in the left lane of I-465 before speeding past several other vehicles. The specific section in which the video appears, near mile 9, has a speed limit of only 55 km / h. At one point, the speedometer reportedly displayed a reading of 213 mph – almost four times the posted limit.
The video, which was uploaded on November 18 and titled ‘2015 Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Naturally Aspirated (0-213MPH)’, has since been removed. However, there are several other videos that showcase Sleiman’s Huracan on the channel on which it was originally posted.
Sleiman also has an Instagram account that showcases many other speed limits in the “Mexico streets” – no doubt a treasure trove already looted by the Marion County prosecutor’s office.
The IndyStar reports that Sleiman has admitted to authorities that his Lamborghini is indeed the one featured in the video; However, he also claims that his car could not reach a speed of 213 km per hour and that his videos were “fraudulently processed” in a way that would make his Huracan. corpse faster. For what it’s worth, the top speed of a Huracan LP 610-4 Coupe at the factory is around 202 km / h.
“This is where my passion is, you know?” said Sleiman in an interview in 2017. “Just to let things go fast. I like to floor it a lot.”
According to court records, Sleiman has been cited in the state of Indiana since 2006 with 15 speeding offenses. What’s more, if you search his name on YouTube, a clip of 1320 Video displays a black Honda Civic that looks a lot like its demolition of public roads. It’s from six years ago, but the wheels, the front bumper, the intercooler and the Nardo steering wheel match the car he posts on Instagram quite often.
