A fantastic, if short, new film currently online, shows one of the most useful advantages of driving a Lamborghini Gallardo in the snow. Four wheel drive by nature, this is one supercar you want to keep close this quarter.
Winter sports conjure up visions of skiing, skating, and sledging. The prospect of winter driving is not a traditional snow-bound sport but one gaining a lot of attention over the last few years. Indeed, Aston Martin includes it on its annual motorsport calendar these days. Now Swedish professional freestyle and downhill racing skier Jon Olssen shows a little of how to handle snow, on wheels rather than on skis.
Leaving behind his residence in Monaco, we are entertained by Olssen returning to his native climate to show us what real fun in the snow is all about.
The first thought that crosses one’s mind when considering a Lamborghini drive quite possibly involves sunny skies. But with January and February being the coldest expected in Britain’s meteorological calendar, and snow a strong possibility, thinking Lamborghini right now may be one of the smartest moves you can make.
Olssen’s petition for Gallardo-driving in the snow to be included in the Winter Olympics is indeed a compelling one. Known for his love of all-wheel drive supercars, given that he owns an Audi R8 as well as this Gallardo, it is incredible that the opening scene shows the Gallardo making a cameo completely hidden in a snowdrift. How someone can leave their Lamborghini to become a designer Italian snowball is quite incomprehensible. Once Olssen scoops off the mountains of snow however, we are privileged to some amazing footage of his snow intelligence in action.
This video shows the innate capability of any Lamborghini to take on the frozen conditions and emerge the victor. Given the freezing temperatures expected in this time of the year in Britain, it is worthwhile considering the Gallardo for your demonstration of mastery over the conditions.
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder on self-drive hire is of course primarily a supercar. Under normal driving conditions, the 560 horsepower power unit allows the car to hurtle to 62 mph in just 3.6 seconds. Traction, handling, and stability are all superlative, environment aside. Direct fuel injection ensures that nothing gets in the way of performance. This means that the style and elegance of the car is unimpeded and your experience of the car on short-term hire is nothing short of perfect.
However, the secondary motivation of this car’s all-surface command remains nevertheless a good reason to take advantage of this prestigious sports car. Check out our Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder Official film to get a real feel for this super car.
