Lamborghini Aventador Pulling AWD Donuts in the Snow Kicks Off the Holiday Season

There’s always that one thing that kicks off the holiday seasons - sometimes it all has to do with the municipality installing shiny lights on the main boulevards. On other occasions, though, it’s all about that Lamborghini pulling all-wheel-drive donuts in the snow.

This has to be our favorite trigger and for those of you who are unsure about how exciting such a stunt would be, we’ve brought along the video below.

This shows an example of the Aventador playing in the Chicago snow. Sure, using a $400,000 Raging Bull in such a manner might seem weird, but there are multiple potential explanations for this.

For one thing, the driver might be celebrating the fact that the Aventador is the first model in the history of the brand that comes with an electronically-controlled all-wheel-drive system.

While the Murcielago sometimes treated you in an understeer-understeer-spin way, the Aventador’s AWD means the communication with the driver is seriously enhanced.

Having a computer take over your all-paw hardware also means you can easily adjust a supercar’s handling characteristics. In fact, Lamborghini itself is doing that for the 2016 Huracan.

Multiple Huracan reviews, our own included, have complained about the understeering nature of the Gallardo’s successor, especially in the driving modes you normally use on the street.

It seems Sant’Agata Bolognese has paid attention, with Lamborghini announcing a change in the supercar’s handling last month.

Then again, maybe the driver of the Aventador in the footage below simply wanted to show Chicago the Lambo version of snow angels - after a certain age, one becomes too... mature to make actual snow angels, right?

Clearing out the snow is another possible reason behind the show, but a Lamborghini tractor would be a much better tool for such a blue collar task. Then again, such an agricultural machine might be more difficult to find than a supercar.
