\nWe’ve seen Valentino Balboni<\/a> drive the tires off his namesake<\/a> and even managed to spend a few hours with the man<\/a> while stuck in LA’s notoriously hellish traffic. Now, Danish magazine Bil Magasinet<\/em> gets some quality time with the famed test driver as he flogs his Lamborghini LP550-2<\/a> across the frozen countryside.<\/p>\n

Balboni’s warm, Italian charm stands in stark contrast to the surrounding snow as he offers up several choice quotes about Lamborghinis past and present, his time with the automaker and the development of the LP550-2, among others. Speaking about the lack of all-wheel drive, Balboni says simply, “You need to control the car, the car doesn’t control you.” And with that he pulls off yet another perfect powerslide and goes about his day. It’s like you’re sitting in the passenger seat yourself. Hit the jump<\/a> to see what we mean.<\/p>\n
