Adrian Portelli unveils luxe new car purchase after he was accused of doing donut burnouts in $400,000 Mercedes

Adrian Portelli has unveiled his latest luxury car after denying doing burnouts in his $400,000 Mercedes.

Portelli, 35, took to Instagram on Thursday to share a series of images featuring his latest acquisition - a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited.

While at $84,000, the sleek 4WD is much lighter on the wallet than the $400,000 Mercedes, it was the aftermarket care that had fans stunned.

The Block billionaire's Jeep was given the 'Pimp My Ride' treatment by YouTubers Patriot Games, run by twins Ashton and Christian Montesalvo, and he took to social media to share the results with fans.

The image series started with a shot of Portelli's just-purchased Jeep sitting in the dealership, complete with a red bow on the hood.

From there the series showed off the results of Ashton and Christian's work that included the complete removal of the Jeep's roof and doors.

The chassis had also been altered to accommodate a set of large truck tyres that would not look out of place on a military all terrain vehicle.

The car was also fitted with a large black bullbar and winch, suggesting that Portelli was planning on being some adventurous off-roading in the near future.

The car's interior had also recieved quite the makeover, with the seat upholstery replaced with a green and black leather, with Portelli's initials also etched in green.

The dash had also been augmented to feature eye catching green highlights.

Portelli looked pleased as punch as he stood proudly with the twins next to his creation.

'This is what happens when you give the Patriot boys the keys to your brand new Jeep and tell them to do whatever they want to it,' Portelli captioned the photos.

'Absolutely blown away gents. First time seeing it and couldn’t be happier. Wonder if it still has new car warranty.'

Adrian's followers were quick to fawn over the hotted-up jeep with the likes of: 'hectic', and 'so sick.'

Another chimed in, suggesting that the car was still missing one vital part.

'It's missing the gun turret on the roof,' the fan commented.

One fan suggested that Portelli's imposing new vehicle was inviting unwanted attention.

'There’s no way the cops are not pulling you over,' they wrote.     

Portelli's latest 'boy's toy' reveal comes after he denied allegations he did donuts and circle work burnouts while allegedly hooning through Melbourne's north-west.

He yawned in court last week as it was alleged he carelessly drove his grey Mercedes Benz C63 coupe through a roundabout at Digger's Rest on a rainy afternoon.

Portelli is accused of driving like a hoon just before Christmas 2020, with police charging him with careless driving, failing to have proper control of a vehicle and driving in a manner causing a vehicle to lose traction.

But his defence legal team claim police were too far away to tell if he was doing a burnout - and couldn't possibly see if his wheels were spinning in the rain.

The court heard Portelli was intercepted near the Silk Drive and Diggers Rest-Coimadai Rd intersection, with his Merc impounded on the spot.

Portelli was charged more than a month after the incident - which allegedly occurred at an undeveloped section of Digger's Rest - on January 30, 2021.

Senior Constable Glen Hutton told the court he witnessed Portelli doing 'circle work' - which the court heard was a term for hoon-style donut burnouts.

The highway patrol cop also said he saw Portelli's $400,000 high-powered luxury sports car 'drifting' through the roundabout.

Portelli's defence barrister Penny Marcou questioned the officer's claims, and said: ‘You jumped the gun and made assumptions.

'You made the decision to take the beautiful Mercedes-Benz... you said, "You have two houses" and you decided to take (the Merc) off him.

'You told him, "You’ll be left here in the rain if you don’t get someone to pick it up'.'

Another Highway Patrol officer told the court he said 'f***ing oath' when Senior Constable Hutton asked if he thought they witnessed Portelli's luxury car lose traction.

But Ms Marcou said there was 'no way' police could make that assertion from 255m away as she tried to discredit the police evidence.

Ms Marcou suggested the cop 'created a memory' because Portelli was 'well-known in the community'.

The flamboyant billionaire playboy, renowned for his publicity stunts, had attempted to keep his court case a secret before Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed his shock hoon charges in May last year.

Portelli's former barrister Angelika Yianoulatos attempted to suppress details of his alleged offending from public scrutiny.

While the court was closed to allow Portelli's barrister to plead her case, a magistrate dismissed any notion of issuing a suppression order, opening the court and providing Portelli's charge sheets to Daily Mail Australia.
