A Lamborghini involved in a crash that claimed the life of a teenage pedestrian in Adelaide was most likely set to a driving mode for people more competent behind the wheel, a court has heard.
Former Supercars driver Luke Youlden gave evidence in Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday in the case against Alexander Campbell who has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
Prosecutors have alleged Campbell was behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Huracan model when it struck and killed 15-year-old Sophia Naismith at suburban Glengowrie in June last year.
