How to properly park a Lambo
At first I was like WTF? and it turns out it's the official way to park it. This valet dude is not your average $8/hr valet... :D
Did a quick search, didn't find anything, hope it's not a repo

Man I would be scared to park it like that. One slip or fall and your career is done.

Man that's trippy. I always kind of wondered how cars with tiny/no rear window get parked, guess I learned something today.

Yeah I think you may have been watching a program like "the ten most beautiful cars in the world" or something like that on Speed network. They had some guy backing up a Countach just like that saying that its even in the owner's manual.

same.. saw it on a episode of mega factories. Apparently its' very difficult to judge and look out the rear window for rear parking.. so a worker at the factory actually developed this technique.

First of all it's a job not a career.
Second of all this is the safest way to do it.

I do this too when theres nothing obstructing my doors when I'm backing up, otherwise I just stick my head through the window

still lower than most SUVs with the door up so usually not a problem.

rear window? for Lamborghinis, there really isn't much of a rear window in those cars.

Wow its 2010 and some of you are just finding out now how lambos have always been parked.
The newer Gallardo's have a back up camera option for the sqeemish.

I find it funny how you think this driver possesses some type of talent. I would be scared to drive with most of you.

@ 0.22 in the first video of the white one being parked by the valet (i don't know why but i keep thinking he's actually the doorman because i rarely see valets wearing hats), the driver presses a button on the left side of the dash. i'm guessing it obviously has something to do with backing up, but does anyone know exactly what it is? :confused:

:rofl:

when i'm reversing, i usually have my feet on the clutch and brake pedal.
catching point is the key ;)

Yeah, I thought so too. His name's Valentino Balboni, not Vincent.

He's pushing the R button for reverse

Noob question, is there a reason to park a car that way with the door up?
Is it due to blind spot ? Explaination anyone ?

and what's wrong with using the side mirrors? I guess parallel parking is out with these things if you have to hang out of the car.

The first thing i learned about lambos is how you park them.

if he's parking cars like that all day, he probably makes more (in tips) than 95% of this board

I'm not sure about the older ones, but the LP640 doesn't need to be parked the same way as the countache. I don't quite understand why nobody uses the mirrors either. Maybe Vallet parking I can understand sitting on the edge, but if you own the car, part of driving is just knowning where your corners are.
Anyone that owns a nissan 300z, 240z or 240sx will agree to the nose of the car. being 'somewhere' up there. You get to learn and use other cars as reference points.

I can understand this for checking where the front end is, but if you're backing in you should be able to use the side mirrors. Because if you're sitting in the doorway like this, I'd doubt that you can properly see the far back corner now

If you've had the chance to back one up you'd understand. Yes you can use the mirrors to back up a bit but when trying to stop at a curb as to not smoke the lower valance or exhaust you better do it as shown or have a traffic controller at your disposal.
