Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2

 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2

Let’s go straight to the point: LP550-2 is designed car with a very specific tastes in mind. Valentino Balboni, Lamborghini test driver, after which the LP550-2 was called, was test-driving super car business for more than 40 years, which is much longer than I was alive. Notch on the calendar means that he is among the most capable and responsive in the world drivers. I on the other hand, I do not. Which means that when you make a car for some tastes Valentino Balboni, has done a huge bubbling cauldron Marmite.Looks like a good recipe. Gallardo is available as a standard six-speed manual box “(you can select e-Gear version, but it was somewhat deviated from the moment it should be ‘his’ spec), more feelsome steel disk space (not optional) carbon ceramic white and gold stripes, lower weight (less than 120 kg, exactly) and, most tellingly, two-wheel drive. And of course, that this last bit above where most people were seized, Balboni crowed loud‘right’ Lambo since returned to back-wheel-drive. At that time also.Since Diablo dies, no Lambo, which has a tremendous power transferred to the rear wheels via a single. Since the horsepower to the north of 500 hp, Lambo almost decided the best way to dispose of it through the rear-biased 4×4 system. It works – the Lambos are friendly supercars, as have many natural grip in acceleration, and trying to reduce their face if you do something stupid, but naturally, like a lift when you’re sliding into a corner too fast.LP550-2 is a completely different experience. Balboni drive and you will see immediately after you move round more than half a centimeter. Management feels lighter, communicative, more textured than the direct four-wheel cars. Realize that the auto 4×4 works through mechanical disruption of thin layers are required and additional shaft torque. The intact procedure is joy. The car was DARTY, alive, more connected than Gallardo ever made. Up.

Go faster and you can start the report from her fingers, and buttocks, it is a car that you really want to play. There are many smaller response to the management of inputs available. Car feels like most of the 120 kg weight of the front wheel itself, rather than 30 or 40 pounds to remove the front diff really achieved. This you smile insanely difficult. Until then, you can push a little further and told the car shake and smile a bit disjointed. Traction control was changed to allow more slippage, but that’s why suddenly Balboni, in fact, my friends.Hands and still handles great, wonderful attitude that you can customize you remember from LP560-4. But when you lift mid-corner, or trying too hard, Balboni was nervous, and less forgiving than the standard car. Dampers and springs, the brakes, ESP, and even tires with tweaks to Balboni, the car feels exactly as you want. This means that live closer to the edge of reason, bite harder, more sudden and less useful when the 542bhp more than the rear tires. Of course, if you Valentino Balboni, it is a good thing, allowing more of play-per-mile. If you average it makes you nervous and in my case, quite a lot slower.Probably does not help that I drive Gallardo has a sort of ’sports package’ suspension to reduce demand Balboni decided to get a decent pay in non-spine fracture currently ride quality. Clearly nervous about this whole worsen Italian Backroads, only really be taken at a high speed so that you wince just thinking about them. It’s all a bit macho, and indeed more or less as expected. Valentino Balboni has really set this car – when he appeared on the passenger erratic fashion there things that the funniest thing I ever did at all, but you have to make sure, until a knife point.

Of course, that a little less weight to push and the same basic mechanical bits, the rest is an experience brilliant as usual. 5.2-liter V10 howl for you to play through a series of angry pop valve, I dare you try to open a butterfly and heard metal howling again. Transmission is a joy that is deliberate, open doors and music ‘clackety, clack – ting! “Ideal for two-third gearchange one of the most convenient to ever grace palm of the hand.Rows on each car, white-eyes wide strip center on one side with gold, which carried the theme through the leather seats and dashboard. No other reason than Balboni like them because they used to appear in many old racing cars. On the left side of the window is the signature Balboni and wheel is a multi-Spoked, 19in tall and dark gray. And that’s almost it. Without wings, exhaust, or funny, or tinselly fat – a pleasant change of pace.But ultimately, is deciding between what LP550-2 can provide Balboni average for drivers and in fact should be Valentino Balboni access to other factors sufficiently pleasant. Some buyers will have to play parking nonsense and said everything is right, he can logging only the smallest stitches LP550-2, and the percentage of people who actually use so that should be used will be very small.However, if it is lighter, less expensive Lamborghini, then I would be more than happy to recommend a heart-complete wells more determined pilot. But, and this is a point, a murderer, it costs 18k CZK more than the standard LP560-4 Coupe. So, you pay tax on the car exclusivity, which will thin more slowly than standard car in the hands of most of us. It’s a very cool thing, a strange Lamborghini, the cooler the name Bear. But you’ll be fine with the standard Gallardo, and save £ 18k in this process.
