Lamborghini Unveils its RWD Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni!

This special-edition Gallardo finally puts the driver back into a more natural race experience. Forget bland self-shifting transmissions and boring all-wheel-drive systems. The Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni (named after Lamborghini's legendary test driver) is a true sports car.

The LP550-2 is a RWD-only Gallardo sporting a lightly de-tuned 550hp version of the 5.2L V10. With a RWD system, the Gallardo's dynamics had to be completely reworked. This includes springs, dampers, stabilizers and even the tires.

Included is a gated manful transmission, re-worked stability control system, a 45% limited-slip rear differential, special edition interior and exterior mods and 8 different color options.

Race Specs:

• 0-62mph (100km/h) = 3.9 seconds
• Top speed = 199mph (320km/h)
• Dry weight = 3,035lb (1,380kg)

Only about 250 units of the $219,800 LP550-2 are to be built. Currently, there is no official word on when we can see this beauty and purchase one.
