Wow the standard reactions, most guys hate Lambos when rumors of a new model start spreading and first photos surface than when they on road most people seem to change their minds and start liking them :icon_mrgreen:

Ok for some reason or another I have avoided reading about this car and have no idea whats new or interesting lambo is highlighting with this "Balboni" model.

Can someone summarize what this car is all about?

that pretty much does it, RWD and 550 HP instead of 560 :iamwithstupid:

Why would they reduce the horsepower after making the car lighter?? Im sure someone in this thread has already pointed it out,but that is just stupid. They should have made it rear wheel and 570hp :icon_thumleft:

The story is that Valentino drove most Lamborghinis with RWD and stick. So this is a car reflecting his history with Lambo. That's how I understood. Ask Winkelmann, he'll have a great answer. :lol:

More than likely underrated HP wise.

Valentino also test drove Lamborghini's with V12's, but they seem to have left that out very conveniently, so it's just the RWD and manual gearbox.

Big question....

 

Did the factory at least give him his own 0/250 car??

 

IMO that is the least that they could do.

 

He signed my car last year in Monterey and sat with me for at least an hour and told stories and answered questions. What an honour to meet him.

I believe that Lambo has come out and said that with it being RWD 550 was the best setup for the car.

 

 

 

Like 10hp is going to make any difference to the set up at all...

 

Whole thing is weird.

If the HP is just an underrating for sales purposes, then i think the car is ok. But im still up in the air. It definitely doesnt look bad....

:iamwithstupid:

 

Does anyone really think there's going to be any difference between the engines in the 560 & 550? It's just marketing bullshit.
