Swede Turns a Lamborghini Gallardo into…a Ski Transporter

We'd hardly call the Lamborghini Gallardo –or any exotic supercar for that matter- the most appropriate type of vehicle for skiers travelling from one ski resort to the other, but professional freeskier and alpine ski racer Jon Olson strongly disagrees.

The 29 year-old Swede has made a habit of using Lamborghinis as his personal vehicles for driving to various ski events across Europe.

Valet Parking Employee…Time Struggles to Park Lamborghini LP640 Versace Roadster

If we could somehow hide the brand and type of car seen in this video, you would probably call the valet parking employee's efforts to park the vehicle in front of the entrance of the Mall of Emirates in Dubai hopelessly frustrating.

However, once you get a look of the car, it all becomes clear: the young man is apparently trying to spend as much time as he can behind the wheel of the bespoke Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 Roadster VERSACE Edition, of which only a handful were ever made.

Wouldn't you do the same in his position? Video follows after the break.

Video Footage from the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Crash in Italy

It's a real pain in the you-know-what if you crash someone else's car let alone if you're a freelance writer that just ditched a $530k Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 that had been given to you for a test drive.

And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Glavinic, a writer that was helping out Austrian car magazine Autorevue with their annual supercar test.

We’ve already covered the incident extensively in previous posts, but today, Carscoop reader Raphael from Vienna pointed us to a new video from Autorevue that includes the scene of the Aventador crash that took place in Italy in late August.

Rare RHD 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV Hits the Auction Block

Enzo Ferrari might have not known it at the time, but when he famously dismissed Feruccio Lamborghini as a “tractor manufacturer”, he planted the seed for the creation of not just a single beautiful vehicle, but a whole class of supercars.

The Lamborghini Miura was launched in 1966 and stunned everyone not only with its design, but also with its specifications. It featured independent suspension and disc brakes all around and more importantly, it was propelled by a mid-engined V12 that enabled the Miura to reach a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).

Video: Swedish Man Jumps Over a Speeding Lamborghini Gallardo

Jumping over speeding cars seems to have become something of a sport lately – albeit an extremely dangerous one at that.

After recent footage of a man performing a flip over an Acura NSX at the 2nd Street Certified Car Show in Milwaukee, we now have a video showing a Swedish man jumping over a Lamborghini Gallardo going around 80km/h [~50mph].

We don’t have to tell you that for every successful stunt of this kind, there are many more that go horribly wrong (i.e. the Lada stunt seen in the third clip). So yeah, kids, don't try this at home…

Batman's New Wheels: Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Captured During Filming

Despite what you might think, it's actually quite difficult to snag pictures or videos during filming of a big blockbuster like the next Batman flick called the "Dark Knight Rises", as studios hire people simply to obstruct the view of anyone trying to capture the moment on camera.

Nevertheless, VW Vortex member VadGTi overcame these problems and was able to take a few good shots of Bruce Wayne's new rich-boy toy, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, which replaces the Murcielago seen in the previous installments of the Dark Knight franchise.
