Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni: Test review!

Very interesting test review here of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni. Great car!

Few cars are more menacing to look at than the current crop of angular, angry-eyed, impossibly low Lamborghinis. The fact that they're all incredibly powerful and blisteringly fast only enhances their malevolent mien. But to keep them from throwing too many riders, these raging bulls have been reined in by the reassuring traction of all-wheel drive for the past 10 years, which helps keep all four hooves charging in the driver's desired direction. Well, the bright orange beast on these pages puts an end to all that. It's a rear-heavy rear-driver with a stability-control-off switch. It seems amazing that some legal disclaimer doesn't have to be agreed to with a fingerprint detector before keying the ignition.
