Default AE: Why Is Lamborghini Doing Sound Tests on a Lexus LFA?

Apparently, Lamborghini has been caught doing some "soundchecks" with professional equipment on an LFA, as reported by Autoevolution.
This particular LFA is with an Ingolstadt (Audi hometown) registration, so I wonder who the owner might be?

Maybe, they are puzzled why their V10 cannot sound half as good as that of the LFA?

(Of course, LFA's V10 is 70 degree like the F1 V10s and not the 90 degrees all other V10s are).

Looks like some telemetry data might be getting collected for benchmarking.

p.s. 'Auto Evolution' sounds like a hater of the LFA since they use words like some British magazine criticized it so it is not as coveted. I am not sure which magazine they are talking about since all of the major British magazines from Top Gear to Evo to Car magazine raved about the LFA.
