Lamborghini made a radical change on its latest Gallardo supercar, it has replaced the all-wheel drive with rear-drive - in honour of its well-known test driver, Valentino Balboni. Lamborghini LP550-2 Valentino Balboni is now the only rear-drive Lamborghini in production.
Springs, dampers, stabilisers, tyres and the aerodynamics have all been adjusted. The rear differential and the e-gear transmission has been redeveloped. The ESP program has also been recalibrated to allow for controlled oversteer.
The engine: 5.2-litre V10 unit putting out 5410kW and 530Nm of torque
The speed: 0 to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 320km/h.
New features: transparent engine cover, dark gray wheels, full black leather, rear-view camera, sat-nav system.
The Lamborghini LP550-2 Valentino Balboni model will be limited to 250 units worldwide. The Gallardo is Lamborghini's most successful model of all time.
