Winter driving question

Hi.

I drive my '07 Porsche Twin Turbo all year around, including during our very cold Canadian prairie winters. I put on some good snow tires and have most of the car covered with 3M (including the windshield).

Is anyone driving their Lambo in similar conditions & as their daily driver? I ask b/c I'm wondering about changing cars. I'm considered eccentric diving my TT in the snow and would probably be considered a nut case driving a Lambo in these conditions. I don't have the $ resources for 2 exotic cars so it's an issues.

Any thoughts on this anyone? Maybe it's a bit nutty just to ask - but I'd like to try something different.

Thanks in advance.
K.

you just need to goto a different tire. look on youtube for gallardo in the snow. The car can handle it but now with the stock tires. I've done winter driving with the pzeros but not on ice.

I also drive my cars all year round...

I placed P Zero winter tires on my AWD Lamborghini this last year and enjoyed the hell out of it...it was real fun going around pick 4wd trucksw stuck and I just easily cruised right on around...

Highley recomend it.

Wow, that is amazing! Great video. I knew it was an AWD car but never thought it would handle well in the snow. Maybe I can convince the wife it is a practical all-year car??? I want one now. The only real issue is what to due when it snows more than an inch or so which is often here in Chicago.
