Lamborghini Chief Valentino Balboni Drives the Gallardo Superleggera in Monza

Getting up close and personal with a Lamborghini Gallardo is quite an experience. Especially if said car is the lightweight Superleggera and the venue is the famous Monza circuit in Italy.

Now, everyone would give his or her right arm to get in the driver’s seat and push the pedal to the metal. YouTube member Marchettino, however, was perfectly happy to occupy the passenger seat when the Superleggera was being driven around the track.

And rightly so because behind the wheel was none other than former Lamborghini chief test driver Valentino Balboni, who is so important in developing various Lamborghinis, that the company even named a special edition version of the Gallardo after him.

Spending a whole day with the Superleggera and Balboni was Marchettino’s present for uploading his 900th video on YouTube.
