First thing I thought was why the hell he would you have a lambo to drive to the ski resort. I would imagine a rear wheel super car would suck balls in the snow, but it looks like they are all wheel drive (still pretty bad though I bet). But to set all you kids straight you do not buy lambos and vacation homes in the French Riviera with sponsorship money. You need investments.
Sick car !!
The gumball tour gonna stop at Quebec City at the Dagobert nightclub, it's sure I'm gonna see these cars and party here !
not to be a douchebag but... NO LAMBORGHINI"S HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE
4 wheel drive is for off roading, all 4 wheels are given the SAME power and will only work properly on an off-road surface, because the wheels need to slip when turning (all the wheels are given the same power, and if u drive on the road with 4wd, the wheels won't slip easy enough, and u'll fuck your alignment)
AWD idistributes power to all wheels in DIFFERENT percentages per wheel, depending upon the driving conditions (turning, going straight, etc) via the computer. In an exotic car with awd, such as this lamborghini, most of the power is still put into the rear wheels, but some is put to the front to give the driver forgiveness.
i guess neither of us was completely right... Lamborghini calls it a 4 wheel drive system, but it isn't a "true 4 wheel drive" that say Jeeps have (even power distribution between all wheels). On average, 30% goes to the front and 70% goes to the rear, and the percentages vary according to driving conditions (but it isn't monitored by a computer). So it works like an awd, but lamborghini calls it a 4 wheel drive.
here's a summary:
The main feature is the permanent four-wheel drive transmission, based on the well-proven Lamborghini Viscous Traction system. Such a system, which at constant speed on homogenous adhesion roads presents a traction force distribution around 30% front, 70% rear, is conceived to be self-regulating, without the necessity of electronic controls. Indeed, thanks to the chosen characteristics of the viscous coupling, an intrinsic regulating closed loop operates in all conditions, varying the traction force distribution as a function of the dynamic weight distribution variations and of the adherence conditions.
Thus, during acceleration (or during climbing) on high adherence roads, the distribution will change favouring the rear axle (more rear traction force percentage, e.g. 80%, corresponding to the increased weight on the rear axle). However, if in these conditions the rear axle tends to lose adherence, more traction is immediately biased to the front, with the system tending to reach a point where the adhesions utilized by the two axles are identical.
