Pirelli Sottozeros, 285/35/19, could fit and have a matching 255/xx/19 front tire.

If I had to pay Scandinavian taxes on my Lambo, better believe I would get 12 months of usage out of it.

Slightly off topic, but related, I was in Tampa today on work and cruised through the Mercedes dealership for fun. They had a black Murcielago on the used car lot! They also had a black SLR, but it was parked in a space that led me to guess it belongs to the dealership owner.

If I paid that much for a car I'd drive it everywhere. Wouldn't you?

Yeah, I know what you mean - the used lots in Naples ain't too shabby either!

Of course you can take an AWD Lamborghini in the snow. What else would you drive to Cortina with your trophy supermodel girlfriend? Just another bit of brilliant product planning from Sant'Agata.

Well I sure as hell would, it looks way cool. But it's probably stick on platic/film that can be pulled off any time they want to change to something even more cool.

I would do one up with the paint scheme of one of those WWII ships... I think it was called dazzle? Or something.

I wonder what those roof top boxes do at speed.

Do you think if you tried to go top speed they would blow off? create lift? Obviously they would severly limit the top speed by creating so much drag, but I wonder if they do anything else.

Cool idea, I like it.

BTW, it was WWI not WWII, it was a great idea that worked from sea level, but was negated by the use of flight, difficult to camoflage a ship from the air.

Oops. I remembered wrong! I heard on this history channel that it wasnt really that effective, more of a moral booster for the sailors on board. Dont know if this is true, though. History channel has been wrong before...

Not quite true. Dazzle wasn't intended to conceal the ship. It was designed to make manual rangefinders less effective and make it less obvious which direction a ship was heading. The addition of fake bow waves also helped mask the ship's speed.

Well, the Miura SV that Nicholas Cage used to own was the former car of the Shah of Iran, who used it specifically for ski vacations. The tradition goes back quite a ways.

Nevertheless, those pics are DOPE.

You know, given the fact that the Lambo has AWD, Lots of horsepower, and an air dam that is quite low to the ground. It would probably make an ideal snowplow...
