Sam Hubinette filming Gallardo drifting commercial for Lamborghini -
05-10-2008, 09:23 PM
He usually spends his time behind the wheel of a Dodge Charger, but recently Samuel Hübinette made an exchange for something with a lower roofline. Lamborghini asked him to take a seat in a 2009 Gallardo for the filming of a European-market commercial set on the streets of Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Blowing tire smoke for the camera is nothing new to Sam since his blue Mopar-mobile has been featured in many a BF Goodrich tire commercial. Unlike the Charger though, the Gallardo isn't quite the towering elephant. It is also equipped with all wheel drive, a feature that requires a bit more driving finesse in order to pull off an extended slide. Look for the spot to hit YouTube sometime in the not too distant future.

I've been Drifting around in the 2009 Gallardo for 3 days now. Myself and Mario, a test driver for Lamborghini from Italy have been racing around LA with the camera chasing us like crazy. It's been so much fun and I love the car. I have never felt before that I wanted to steal a car till now. It is a commercial for Europe and car shows around the world.
Monday will be a full day of filming from a helicopter out in Palm Springs. It was quite interesting to be drifting with the Gallardo because it is all wheel drive with a visko changing the bias. Most of the time 70% in rear but some times up to 80%.

We understand your feelings! haha!
I simply can't wait for the Spyder ... but this is the first time I actually more or less love the coupé, it's a magic bull!
Also notice how darktinted the windows are ...
I will SO be ordering one when the spyder comes out!
