For those who don't know, including us, Valentino Balboni was hired back in 1967 by company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini himself and has helped the Italian manufactured with his fine-tuning and testing work to shape many automotive legends, from the Lamborghini Miura of the 60s through to the current Gallardo and Murcielago models. In order to thank him for his work, the Italian manufacturer decided that the latest vehicle will carry his name and here it is: LP550-2 Valentino Balboni. This new car has been adjusted by Balboni and tuned in every element of its driving dynamics including springs, dampers, stabilisers and even the tyres. The LP550-2 features a redesigned rear axle differential, with a 45 percent limited slip, some adjustments to the ESP system, enabling drivers to enjoy the dynamics of the LP 550-2 to their full extent.
