Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni is a limited edition of the Gallardo made as a farewell gift to Valentino Balboni, who had been a Lamborghini test driver since 1967 and afterwards travelled the world as a brand ambassador. Unlike the standard four-wheel-drive Gallardo it drives only the rear wheels. The Dutch article says 250 were built, each with a slightly less powerful version of the 5.2 litre V10 from the LP560-2, giving 405 kilowatts (550 PS), 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h. It weighs 1,470 kilograms, 30 less than a standard Gallardo. Cars wear a white longitudinal stripe with a narrow gold line, a black leather interior with white striping, Balboni signature and the serial number on the left door, in a two-tone or tricolore scheme, with an E-Gear or six-speed manual gearbox.
