And it's not just Dillon who likes to pedal to the metal, as Suzanne herself has been spotted behind the wheel of the car with its unmistakable matt black bodywork ,complete with a trendy green tinted trim and gulf-wing doors.

Mega-rich MMA fighter Conor McGregor is an avid Lamborghini fan with no less than four Lambo's in his eclectic car collection.
In 2019 McGregor showcased the newest addition to his Lambo family, a slick black Aventador believed to be worth around €180,000.
McGregor's spanking new shiny black sports-car was pictured idling outside his Kildare mansion and was adorned with a massive red ribbon with the traffic-stopping motor believed to be a gift for fiancé Dee.
As well as the Avenatdor McGregor also owns a lime green Lamborghini as well as an army green version and he also keeps a bright white Lamborghini Huracan barged on his holiday villa on the continent.
And like father—like-son it seems, as Conor's dad Tony is also the proud owner of a bright orange Lamborghini Huracan, the identical model as then one driven by Diojo Jota.
