The Prema Engineering v. Lamborghini dispute exemplifies how technical partnerships can go awry when clear legal rights are poorly defined and boundaries are not enforced. In its April 2025 complaint, Prema Engineering alleges that during a 2024 technical partnership with Lamborghini and the Iron Lynx racing team, Lamborghini secretly copied multiple “Setup” files—proprietary software packages used to configure Hypercar steering wheels—in violation of agreed-upon use restrictions. According to Prema, Lamborghini accessed a blank steering wheel provided for limited simulator testing at Circuit of the Americas in July 2024 [3]. When the hardware was returned in October 2024, Prema discovered its own confidential Setup installed, with usage logs indicating repeated unauthorized deployments by Lamborghini between late August and mid-September 2024.

Although both Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. and Prema Engineering are Italian entities, the lawsuit was filed in the United States, drawing little attention from the Italian press. The 2024 simulator session at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, provided the jurisdictional basis for the case. Italian commentators have noted that U.S. courts are often preferred for high-stakes intellectual property disputes due to stronger discovery powers, faster procedures, and the potential for higher damages compared to Italy’s more conservative and slower civil system. Moreover, Prema may have chosen a U.S. venue to apply pressure on Lamborghini through reputational exposure in a market where Lamborghini has significant commercial interests and brand presence.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://caldwelllaw.com/news/news-trade-secret-case-lamborghini-prema-engineering/|title=Prema Engineering v.
