Valentino Balboni had been Lamborghini’s official test driver for decades and has been an integral part in the development of many cars including the Countach, the Gallardo and the Murcielago. When the ace driver retired in 2009, Lamborghini named a car after him - the Balboni edition of the Lamborghini Gallardo. It must be difficult to stay away from supercars after all these years and so the man is back, helping supercars sound better and go faster.
Valentino Balboni has designed a new exhaust system for the Lamborghini Aventador LP-750 SV. Built out of titanium, the limited edition exhaust is lighter than the standard exhaust and will open the floodgates to a new dimension of Lamborghini sound. The price tag on the exhaust has not been announced as yet but with the fact that only 30 pieces are being made, Lamborghini owners from around the globe will be making a beeline to lay their hands on the pipes.
Mr Balboni has launched his own brand, VB, with a vision to share his expertise and passion with Lamborghini cars as well as other supercars. VB will deal in aftermarket parts and kits to start with and may venture into performance tuning in future. Slated to unveil its first product on August 20, VB has chosen one of the maddest Lamborghinis to get going.
