  • He is not just a car enthusiastic he truly loves cars he deserves this car

  • just look at this man... gentle and loving. you can see the love he has for cars in his eyes when he talks. unlike most supercar drivers who love showing off. he truly loves the car.

  • Few auto magazines are slamming Lamborghini for being money grubbing whores. Essentially they say Lambo should stop making new versions of the Gallardo car because all it's telling the current owner is your gallardo is no longer the king of the road and you should buy this new one. The difference between your new lambo and the new version lambo is a little more horsepower. LOL

  • @jetliigor Hey, sounds like some other company I've heard of... Apple!  Look at this funny comic that depicts what its like to own an apple, or you could insert lambo as well... theoatmeal(dot)com/comics/appl­e

  • I wouldn't buy the lamborghini stock but i'd buy the Apple stock, they have great fundamentals, strong better than expected earnings, their ipod's, ipad's are unbeatable in sales within the industry, Apple is a great long term buy. Though i wouldn't buy it because unless you buy enough shares, no point of owning apple with anything less than 100 shares.

  • @jetliigor Not sure what brought on the Lambo vs. Apple stock info. I know Apple does well, as everyone else knows. I'm simply talking about the business model of Lambo that you pointed out was a lot familiar to the one that Apple has. You should buy the iPad2 because it's dual core and some ram, woopdy do. They keep offering new models that are just a wee bit better so people go out and pay another $250,000+ on a new car, or $1000 on a new iPad.

  • you made apple sound like it's a rip off company that's not worth buying their products, that's why the stock talk. But most companies do the buy their brand new product even though it's just 1 or 2 small improvements or sometimes no improvements at all but because it was so hyped and commercialized it's making your believe you have something new. Video games fall into this scheme perfectly you think you're playing a new game but really it's the same formula with a new character.

  • Well that link didn't work, just click on most popular in that link, and its on the 3rd row down if you're interested. Funny if you haven't seen it yet!

  • 2:20 - 2:40

    Amen

  • i love this dudes accent

  • Dey, ah 550 , ah 2 , ah bal BONEY ...

    2WD , traditional stick shift , & love the racing stripe. Collector for sure, you wont get an chance to see many on the road. Tempered garages mostly for this beauty.

  • The 550-2 Balboni is unfortunately a Lambo that will be garaged & stored. Rarely ever driven.

  • this is what i call patrolhead

  • anyone know what song is in the background?

  • I hope they gave him one

  • True legend...

  • The 15 dislikes must be Honda Drivers!

  • A legend for the past 40 years has woke up with morning wood for the best job in the world.I wonder how many times he has called in sick,maybe never.

  • Comment removed

  • Look in the background at 3:24 - Isn't that the new Aventador?

  • @TheGroove95 That's the Estoque, Lamborghini's four-door concept car.

  • i want the song that plays at  2:48

  • Mr. Balboni i love your name,you english accent and the car dedicated to you!You are a legend....

  • Saluteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee You Mr. Valentino Balboni..u r da Legend!!!!

  • italians have the coolest names "Valentino Balboni"

  • the best job in the world

  • Comment removed

  • best lambo ever whats the song from the start 

  • All hailz mr balboni. All hailz lamborghini.

  • Mr. Balboni you're the best !!! You deserve it - a great dirver, a great Italian and a great person !!! Wish you all the best :)

  • Punched a kid in the face once for calling Lamborghinis ''DoucheMobiles''all because my dad dropped me off in it one day at school.Got suspended,naturally,but he basically called my dad a douche bag so.You do the math.

  • @FlyingBoxHead you bad ass

  • A true legend 

  • that 2-tone assymetrical line in the middle of the car is just the perfect finishing touch. People will buy it just for that line!

    And RWD FTW!!!

    Bull-power is greater than Horse-power! ;-P

  • Valentino is such a Great Guy!!! I've driven with him a few times... and he couldn't be a nicer guy!!!

  • 40 years and they only give this man 1 car? They should give him a new car every year!

  • @X15Studios Its not his car. They made a model named after him. You can go to the Lambo dealer and order a Valentino Balboni Gallardo. Its not a single car.

  • @Prankcafe oh ok thanks.

  • 12 of them must like ferrari more than lamborghini...

  • oyeee amigo sabes donde lo puedo ver sub en español por faaa. . .

  • SENSACIONAL !!!!!!!!!

  • i just would order the manual shifter, look at it ... soo sexy and sporty!

  • This car is definitely worth the money. Lamborghini's do give you a special feeling, you can't get that with a ferarri.

  • i wish i could touch his beard 

  • i love this guy!, no homo

  • 3:25 lamborghini estoque

  • I met him

  • oh i rember that guy when he tested lamborghini diablo this guy is a legend!

  • he fit to be the LeGEND..

  • You buy a Ferrari when you want to be somebody. You buy a Lamborghini when you are somebody

  • @FFarthur If you have the money to buy either, you probably already are somebody.

  • @FFarthur by Frank Sinatra ... Amen

  • This is a serious clip.

    Thx diekatzeimglas & youtube

  • I am smiling and there is a reason for it...

  • one day I'll have a Lamborghini!!!

    Lamborghini the best - Ferrari can't cope with a Lamborghini.

    thank you Ferrucio Lamborghini gor this heaven on earth!!! Thank you!!!

  • Balboni is a great person, very friendly and helpful. He was very happy when we recognized and asked him to take together some pictures. The automotive industry needs to have this type of experts, characters, engineers!

    Thank you Mr. Balboni! It was a great experience to met with you, met with a legend!

  • Hey guys how can i get the song (s) playing int the backgroung or what are the name of the song (s) please!!

  • ONE DAY I WILL HAVE A LAMBO. THIS IS WHAT I WANT FROM THIS LIFE.

  • How can one get the song playing in the background?

  • omg iam 26 and iam in tears like a baby, long live lamborghini

  • beautiful car. take that ferrari HA

  • hhoottt n sexy . fk you....too good....awesome.....great car and a great man..

  • Last week: me and Valentino in the same car!! it's incredible!!! thanks Valentino!!! you drive so fast, but so natural!! thanks again... 

  • One of my favorites!

  • Spettacolare!

  • THIS is the first real Lamborghini since Germans took control over the company. An Italian car, not a 4WD audi-made which somehow resembles Lambos of the past: standard Gallardos and Murcielago are infected by german way of thinking a sport car, german way of building one, german way of selling one. Long life to real Lamborghini.

  • LambosRule12, i agree with you, however the pricing in australia go's the ferrari (SV is $1M) and ferraris history is second only to maserati. All else wins though

  • @Marque1RB Thanks for your comment. there are plenty of Ferrari's that sell for ($1M+) especially at auction. And yes Ferrari has a great history on the track, but that is mostly due to highly skilled drivers. When it comes to Balboni, he's been doing somthing that no one person has ever done, and has probably driven faster down public roads every day for longer than anyone in the world. For me that is the ultimate achievement.

  • I'd take this car only because he looks like a nice dude :D

  • @Soetman thank you...ill look into it

  • congratulations Valentino! You deserv this! And Thank you for helping on the develpment of these dreams cars

  • @ 2.08 whats the name of the song?! ^^

  • such a nice guy, and a very nice car. the orange color is lovely. wish i could afford it... :-(

  • great man...great attitude...great car :X

  • the 2003-2005 gallardos r way cooler than the recent 1's

  • You have to have a deep appreciation and honor for something to understand were he is comming from. I love the accent. the origional Italian accent is in my opinion the best of all.

  • ive met him lol

  • how can i download this video

  • @LoganCoutts Go to Zamzar . com...

    Very good site, I use it all the time. It is free, and you can choose in what format you download the video, or even download the audio alone, for songs. :D

  • Simply the best...!!!!!

  • Valentino Balboni seems so much down to earth compared to Dario Benuzzi from Ferrari.

  • go laborghini

  • What car is that at 3:24? Looks like what was supposed to be the Lamborghini Estoque.

  • wow this made me really look at Lamborghini differently, it really is about the soul, much more then Ferarri can hope for, this car really is sick, especially with rwd

  • long live lamborghini and long live balboni

  • SENSACIONAL !!!!!!!!!!

  • I wanna be a test-driver now :)

  • want that estoque in the back

  • he's got one hell of a dream job.

  • this is why Lambos really are the best!

  • good job balboni

  • great vid.

    my favorite lamborghini is the next

  • Great Video - VB FTW ;)

  • cute.

  • He seems to be very happy with this new Gallardo release. I can feel emotion and love in his eyes. It gives to me curiosity and more interest about Balboni's job at Lambo factory, what he does and how he helps the engineer team to improve models. Very interesting.

  • 3:31 Lamborghini Estoque!

  • @sarokas12. Balboni didn't just get lucky, he stuck with the company for 40+ years through their turbulent History. Ferrari's are great cars, but almost every one is more expensive than it's Lambo counterpart. When you buy a Ferrari YOU pay extra for a Name. Soul= Passion for his job, and being a Humble person who is recognized as a Legend because of his loyalty. Which is why Lamborghini rewarded him with this car. Any Car can be Fast, but beautiful Design is tough to Achieve.

  • I'm in love whit that car

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • did anyone else notice the estoque in the background??

  • he's a huge legend!!!!!! and the car's just..... MASTERPIECE!! :)

  • Just think, his first and last name is on the car insignia and Lambo will not give him one - after 40+ loyal years of working for them.

  • i love this fckin car valentino balboni is the best

  • LEGEN... DARY!

  • What an awesome guy.

  • i've always liked the gallardo better cause of the sharp line design instead of the round egg shapes of marcialago. i'm glad they changed the rear lamps on gallardo too. nice color.

  • As commented, I also got emotional watching this vid, and one of my favorites is "Hotrod Cadillac" featuring Sean's badass Caddy Coupe.

    Also, owners of cars such as the Z06 'vette will probably never understand (hey, if you can afford a Z06, this car isn't much of a stretch).

  • wow at 3:30 the estoque concept at the back! :O

  • I love how he watches it like his baby:)

  • hell this man deserves all the respect...legend:)

  • im not to crazy about the colourscheme on that one (is looks kinda like a creamsicle :P) but the gallardo is still one hell of a beautiful car!

  • @reven676 , You are an idiot

    I have seen several Ferrari production Lines from 599 to Enzo to California, you have no clue!!!

  • I <3 Lamborghini. There's so much passion and soul in the way he talks too...

  • He has done soo much for the Lamborghini Company that was an awesome prize to dedicate a car to Valentino he totally deserves it !!! I would love to work for Lamborghini ..wish I lived in Italy

  • nothign about a Lamborghini is shit, for 370,000 euros it better not be

  • Epic chillout music =]

    THAT'S what I'm fuckin' talking about. A proper gearbox and clutch, no sissy automatic shit. Yeh paddle shit is auto it fucking works for you you don't clutch you don't do shit. Don't throw all this automatic bullshit @ me, Valentino Balboni's the man.

  • una sola palabra LEYENDA todo mi respeto

  • balboni has the best job in the world.... do u not agree?/ he is a part of italian history

    everyone check out my channel :p

  • first real lambo in a while... since they were bought by Audi, it hasn't been the same but this lambo is worthy of its name

  • Balboni is a legend. the man has more soul than the entire history of Ferrari. Ferrari's are over priced for what you get, and this video is a direct testament to why lamborghini was created. there are 6 Basic ways to judge Production Street super cars.

    1.Body Design-Engine sound-interior

    2.Driving Experience/Reliability

    3.Acceleration-0-60-1/4mi-Top speed etc

    4.Handling-slalom-Braking-G force's etc

    5.Price

    6.History

    All these thing's considered lambo wins

    all my "opinion"

  • 6 basic ways?  I guess if you group unrelated things like "engine sound" with "interior" you could stop counting at six. I'm not disagreeing with your overall assessment though, Lambo's are still my favourite.

  • Comment removed

  • you forget that handmade is just a fancy way of saying its gonna fall apart.

  • over here they cost the same

  • @LambosRule12

    Mr. Balbony's soul, what do you mean? He seems like a nice guy but he's just a lucky test driver chosen by Mr Lamborghini...

    I never drove any, but by the videos I watch, the only thing in wich lambos are better is the design (the looks)... overpriced are all "supercars", not just ferraris.

  • Comment removed

  • @LambosRule12 Very well said!

  • @LambosRule12 Well then...1 and 2 are opinions and shouldnt count. 3, Ferraris are faster 0-60 and top speed, 4, have better slalom resaults, better brakeing distance and less heat and wear meaning stronger brakes and brake cooling. 5, price....about the same, but lambo barely wins in a tiny fraction that doesnt matter and history....haha Ferraris have the most impressive pedigree by far from any other car maker and have so many wins and trophys and Lamborghini hardly ever even raced at all

  • @LambosRule12 im glad some one else respects balboni... like i do... and 37 others... lol

  • @LambosRule12 your opinion is wrong, how can you say lamborghini has more history than ferrari when lamborghini was created some 30 years ago. how can you say lamborghini has more soul than ferrari, when ferrari invented racing as it is known today. and no im not talking about your bullshit drag races you stupid americans try to call motorsport, im talking about touring and endurance and gran turismo races

  • @LambosRule12 First off, Balboni is great but to say he has more soul than Ferrari is ludicrous. If Ferraris are over priced so are Lambos cause they're direct competitors, does it matter at this point? These reasons are why Ferrari is better: 458 Italia 1/4: 11.1, 550-2 1/4 mile: 11.5. Engine: 458:V8 with redline of 9000RPM. 550:V10 with redline of 8000RPM.458 has 563 hp, 550 has 543. History? AWD is Lambos trademark yet this one is RWD. Clearly, Ferrari wins. My "opinion" of course

  • @Crossplane951~ Lamborghini's are a totally different car!

    They are for "posers". 4WD is a mega fail!. Ferrari's are far more "drivers" cars.

  • @LambosRule12 i agree with everything but your saying ferriars are just overpriced? all supercars are overpriced

  • @strelok5831 so what? imagine if they are not overpriced, they would became a piece of metal in a junkyard like most cars in usa.

    I've seen a maserati in the "cash for clunkers" thing.

    is hatefull to see pieces of art treated like disposable things .

  • @bababacardi sorry i cant amagain supercars not being over priced

  • @strelok5831 Ferrari the best.Not a BIG MONEY WASTED from germany.

  • @strelok5831 sorry to let you know you spells ferrari wrong

  • @adrianhardhead o ok iam sorry mrs.mohabir

  • You can tell He loves what he does by his face when he drives and looks at the Lambos....

  • At 3:25 u can see the Lamborghini Estoques so maye that might enter production and the Valentino Balboni look like it is the best Gallardo to be produced

  • this is a great person, the white line represent a long life, long life to Valentino Balboni

  • @Stevensson55 the man has a highway named after him self... "THE BALBONI HIGHWAY..."

    yeh baby...

  • that car is a master piece by Lamborghini.

    That's a real proper car!

  • I liked the sentence: "The fastest monument ever built"

    WOW :))

  • I love Italiano !

  • Some dudes think its weird for a gkrl to watch chicks doing it, but i love it

  • lovin that 6 speed MANUAL, a real car.

  • I don't know. I think if I asked a girl if she wanted a ride on my Balboni, I might get slapped

  • @fladave99 hahahah good one

  • this is the most amazing car ever, just because is the definition of the supercar. Emotionally, it defines the history of Lamborghini through Valentino Balboni's person and his love and passion for the raging bull. Technically, it is a mid engined, rear wheel drive, 550 BHP Lamborghini, with an manual gearbox. This is the proper way to build a car, like in the old days:). I think they put a manual and stripped out the AWD because this is the way Valentino Balboni loves a car :)

  • That's the way most of us love our cars ;)

  • true

  • That car right there, is true art.

  • I love it thats my next car!!!!!!!!!!! in his honor

  • what a great car and what a great man

  • amazing

  • That man deserves to be happy and be a big part of Lamborghini history.

  • no its the new lp550-2 VB

  • yes,my mistake....

  • That is a happy man.

  • Crazy. Talk about loving your job.

  • Cool...i like Lamborghini

  • love the Superleggera rim, it's like it's made for LP550-2

  • he kind of looks like micheal gambon!

  • my dream for life is to just drive one of these :( a super car like that is like sex for me. thats the only thing i want b4 i die is to just drive one of these spectacular cars, or win the lottery and buy one!!! valentino is the luckiest man alive i would have to say.

  • @whiteboyjustin16 Driving a car like that isn't hard to set up. It sure ain't cheap but it was worth the price I paid which was 120$ for 10 mins which souns little but feels longer. For that price I got to drive the Gallardo superveloce ´09.

  • it amazes me...he talks about the car like its another person.

  • As much of a high end car such as this, every man has a passion for it. I was very emotional watching this the first time.

  • The video is well-done!! Really professional ;)

    And the car is just amazing!!

  • go Valentino.... this is lambo 2wd and manual....!!!! fuck supersport car with 4X4, that is car for pussys.....

  • @crotorca

    maybe but i would like to live so i will take the awd.

  • I want his job too! He is really a legend :)

  • i want his job
