Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni

[soccerlax1899]

He is the Heart and Soul of Lamborghini. He deserves this so much. He really is an amazing tribute in the car world that will never be forgotten. And yes Valentino you are a legend!

[DjMeard]

Balboni is the only person who know's how to drive any kind of Lamborghini.

[Aventadorfan10]

He retired already? :(

[Darknezz002]

I Love Gallardo♥

[MrJackassjerry]

Italy is famous for their Mafia!!

[GraverOfTheIce]

this old man make you look like a f**king cry baby on the road. *old man my ass*

[aaf1218]

I met Valentino Balboni, he's such the nicest man you'd want to meet! His passion for Lamborghini is out of this world! He was so grateful for me wanting to shake his hand. He thanked me for being so kind and it was a pleasure for him to meet a fellow Lamborghini fan. Truly an amazing guy! I envy this man! ... Now..I just want to ride in a Lambo with him! Then I can die in peace :)

[d14d]

He owns Serial No 001/250 and 000/250 sits on permanent display at Lambo HQ in Sant' Agata Bolognese!

[d14d]

@d14d Gas and maintaining it is paid for life!

[truthsleuth]

Yes a truly great car for such a great man! Meeting Valentino today was the highlight of my week too! Congrats to all the lucky ones who happened to have the opportunity to ride with him! Man and machine are truly one, with Valentino at the wheel, and as they say in Italian; Una Bella Macchina!

[kiseki27]

i will choose the MANUAL GEARBOX for ultimate driving experience & character.

[ringer454]

Such a great car for such a great man. I respect the fact he cant stop smiling while he's talking about the car.

[mykiP20]

awesome monument. wonder if that would happen to me...

[limasbad]

this lambo is the one i'd pick over any lambo due to the fact that its all about the passion of driving, that you have the experience to drive such a machine with out all the sophisticated paddle shifters, AWD and electronic systems. to drive this is what you call real driving and know the feeling of a real Lamborghini.

[MrAussiebogan]

2:00 objects in mirror are closer than they appear... more like objects in mirror will disappear very quickly.

[PaulNat360]

Valentino Balboni prefers RWD over AWD...

[DestroyerColomer]

What is the song that starts at 0:20??

[jimmyrx8]

Great car and great manual gearbox

[Vanquishvolante]

the interiore wille be spetcial

[SuperbD2009]

[Mrnattapongty]

อยากได้

[Vettejocke]

That Lambo is jus perfect.

Thanks Valentino Balboni.

[spikemaster1990]

@2.00 "objects in mirror are closer than they appear"

thats only for a second when you drive this car right!! gg*

[PinkFloydZ06]

This is actually the first "Old guy" that I can surely say...You seriously deserve it.

[98chevycustom]

wow that awesome

[mgcsl]

muito lindo!!!!!!!!!!! o carro.

[MrDonDomenico]

I am a true ferrari fan, but i have to say, Valentino Balboni is a cool guy. He really deserves a car witch is called like himself.

[marcelskaterkid94]

this guy is my freaken idle he gets paid to do wat he loves and very well for it the money is not wat is important him its the pure passion for lamborghini automobiles and the the thrill of driving them he lives a pure dream and thats why I respect him

[DiogoPacheco11]

If this ain't the best job in all the world tell me what its it xD

LAMBORGHINI <3

[draziom902]

Italian car drivers are the BEST in the world. Thats why we make the best cars in the world. We create them and know how to drive them to perfection. Italian car drivers are artists.

[0richeym]

@draziom902 yeh and what i also love is that their soo modest

[draziom902]

@0richeym Yes exactly. Italians are good people who know how to behave well and are very social people. Very nice.

[0richeym]

@draziom902 what.........

[draziom902]

@0richeym You talking people or car?

[trancesensation23]

1:33 you know hes the man when he walks through the factory like hes the boss!

[Shifty2031]

@trancesensation23 you know he's the man - he only walks in slow motion.

[raiman99]

Balboni is a true legend and i think its very special in modern days, when a company like Lamborghini dedicates a Car- edition after a man like Balboni...

[peterdepeer]

You can see how proud Balboni is, he is glowing!!!!

I love it that Lamborghini still has a godfather, that is able to embody the true spirit of the company.

thumbs up if you agree

[AnAngryPossom]

Un uomo vero grande, molto modesto, molto umile. Innegabilmente una leggenda. Lamborghini gli ha dato un tributo eccezionale.

[KPKonliner]

i like his Italian accent,

[MaloEdu]

The ITALIAN TOM HANKS! Just look at his face structure =D

[Morkecho]

awesome car, great man

[artisthecure789]

beautiful.

[avinad]

hey guys how can i get the song (s) playing in the backgorund or what are the names of the songs?? please!!!

[amicidibaffo]

vorrei beccare i 2 tipi che hanno messo NON MI PIACE..................

[Vesjenzo]

I like his accent :)

He's a great driver , how he talks about it ! At least he's a driver who drive's a Car with a soul & a Heart !

[HardyLeo]

when is he going to retire ? I herewith volunteer for his job !

[DJKrissJ]

As others have commented, Valentino Balboni is a living legend and this car is an incredible dedication to an incredible driver for his invaluable contribution to Lambirghini. what's great in the video is to see his emotion about the car and how humble he is.

Superb video. Thank you for uploading it. :-)

[grantmk]

gee. Is it special by any chance?

[MrSnoopy001]

he is a living legend he deserves this car and more but a silly question where can we get these lamborghini polos and shirts like the one he is wearing ???

[5555wrx]

I was lucky enough to meet this wonderful gentleman, and that is what he is .... a gentleman, soft spoken, very, very knowledgeable.

Thank You Mr. Balboni.

Lamborghini is very fortunately to have such a great person working for and with them.

[theestudiodd]

it the best car in the wold

[croftsir]

just AWESOME!!

[croftsir]

Just AWESOME!!!

[FreemanVDO]

Lambo's legendary test driver for more than 40 years? Most of Lambos he tested were all-wheel-drive. But why did he make his own model a rear wheel drive?

[DustBucket33]

@FreemanVDO all lambos from the last 10 years were all wheel drive yes, but before that different story... and this is the fastest of the gallardo's and the second fastest lambo hell I'd say why not give hime the best car they could possibly build

[amrabas2007]

Legend

[DotCom48]

Call me crazy, but I'm more attracted to this car than I am to the Ferrari 458 Italia. I mean, 5.2 lt. V10 howling behind you, now available in rear wheel drive!? I'm sold!

[ma1aron]

special. special. special =)

[mickrick84]

Personally, I would have placed the stripe not in the centre but more to the right hand side, where the driver sits. Like this, i.m.o. the design would have been more special, like this car-model. Now it looks a little bit like a car from the police..

[Mikedelike]

he is so lucky! he gets to drive lamborghinis for a living and have his own lamborghini named after him!

[vegafanstar]

sin duda la merece, pero deberia ser una sola para el.. ya se hace aburrido ver que la gente ande jugando con un auto especial portador de tu nombre..

IDOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrLoose26]

best tribute any car company could pay to any of its employees

[callypee]

he's a lucky bastard/

[SPMNDK89]

There's an Estoque in the background. I really hope that goes into production. I mean who wouldn't want a roomy sedan that goes like hell and wears a Lamborghini badge??

[c0stlytech]

i love him... he is my idol.. DREAM JOB RIGHT THERE!

[hermosotealonso]

The reverse gear is located down the left, some systems or trigger any operation of that during normal gait?

[TheElectroClozer]

Questa macchina c'è l'ho nel garage. XD

[stigger91]

As far as I can tell, nobody deserves this more than him. I can tell he is honored by it and is ecstatic and loves to tell us all about it. That's awesome.

I heard this guy has road tested some 80% of all Lamborghini's ever sold while he's been working there!

[v10redline]

I like the fact that they did not wait for him to die to name a car after Valentino. I strongly believe he deserves it. Well done. Also, notice how he smiles when he talks about the car!

I'd choose this car any time instead of a regular one. rear wheel drive and manual gearbox! a real driver's car!!

[willwork4superpowazz]

@v10redline bah, unless i wanna do some stupid moron who does burnouts or some idiotic silly wannabe who does drifts, id take AWD ANY DAY!!!

[v10redline]

@willwork4superpowazz and i respect your choice. But i would still go for the balboni :)

i mean, even the journalists love it so much more. It's just more fun to drive, apparently. However, it's true that most people buying it are not pros and should probably go for the safer all wheel drive

[crumbutt]

@v10redline I got to drive with Valentino on the dream car tour. He was a really great guy, very humble, and loves lamborghini. One of the most memorable experiences I've ever had.

[lynnao4ever]

that's very nice !!!!

[BreitLinK89]

simply the best combination of italian passion and german engineering!

che bella macchina! ;-)

much love from germany

[anthonyrulesx]

italian pride :) we know how to make everything in the best way including cars exibit a haha

[15Joseph]

RWD! finally!

i want to see the LP550-2 race the Ferrari Spyder S, that would be a good race!

[raduandreyi]

natürlich, dass ein gutes Auto ist, nur sie hat die Deutschen von Audi

[striderg3]

f430 scuderia... meets its match

[EroticarTV]

This is their best promo ad.

Really good job on this one Lambo !

[aechdlg]

that is a proper car, 2-wheel drive, 6 speed manual, gated shifter. It is just a work of art.

Great job Valentino Balboni

Great to see Lamborghini rewards him for his loyalty and hard work

[gauthier08310]

Merci M.Balboni pour cette splendide machine, 2 roues motrices et une boite mécanique! fuck all wheel drive and e-gear!!! Vive Lamborghini

[rodolfo23cr]

I think mr Balboni should have been honored with a Murcielago version not with "Baby Lambo"... A V10 / Non scisor door is not a Lamborghini to say thank you to a legend of the brand like him..

[Schnellbusfahrer]

I don´t think so - the LP560/550 is more a sportscar than the LP640. This is just a powerful GT. Compare them, you´ll see what I mean.

[platzie]

He may prefer the Gallardo over the Murciélago.

[lucaslindenlaub]

couldnt agree more.

[vivalarey619]

old Lambos didnt have scissor doors. So he might like the fact that its a throwback to the old days of Lambo when they have the Miura.

[mobbindag]

I absolutely love Lamborghini's, I will own one one day. Hopefully sooner then later.

[HKBM45]

Wow! Lamborghini has been stepping it up lately. This car is absolutely incredible.

[aZnsOnLinE]

Wonderful how Lamborghini honors it's oldest and most respected employees. Bravo Mr. Balboni, for 40 years of commitment, hope you enjoy your well earned retirement.

[xXlolo007Xx]

beautiful car.... respectful man

[jackbinbong]

great man. you deserve it valentino. passion, charisma, and humility, mr. balboni a true legend in automobile history.

[Foxx1981]

ALL HAIL BALBONI! IL SUPREMO!

Best wishes for your well earned retirement, a Ferrari fan.

[gollum8]

somebody know the name of the song from 1:52...? help me. please ;))

[abner209209]

this guy is awesome specially the car got to get me one of those

[sportbilen]

That guy is cool.

[RomanSedlak]

i love to see how he looks at the car as his baby:) with such joy and love:)

[lesber2004]

that's pretty cool what they did for him..

some companies instead prefer to get rid like old tools from the oldest employees(because they make more money)

Bravo Lamborghini!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutly beautiful.

[torquemenistan]

i bet he got that car for free!!!..lol that car handles so good

[batistr]

what are the songs in this clip??

[MIZZlilSHAY]

this car is SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mangolicius]

WOW this guy is my HERO! I want his job.

[mangolicius]

Ohhh yeah i forgot! That Lambo is SEXY as hell! Did you guys see her dancing around those corners?!? Now that['s a pimp car

[eduardorimoli]

The joy to enjoy his own car. What a feeling it must be.

[Tunerboy8732]

He's done great things over the years for Lamborghini he deserves one with his name on it.The LP-550-2 is just gorgeous.

[DwayneMcConnors]

You Deserve it, "way to go BALBONI".
