Valentino Balboni Just Started His Own Lamborghini Tuning Company
You’ve had a 40 year career as a test driver at a supercar company that even named one of its cars after you. You’ve retired, and now have a little time on your hands. What do you do? For Valentino Balboni - famous Lamborghini test driver - the answer is to start up a new supercar tuning parts company.
Called VB, the firm’s first product will be an exhaust system for the Aventador SV. It’s made from grade 2 titanium, weighs just 6.3kg, and only 30 will be made. No word on pricing yet, but given that each system takes 350 hours to lovingly craft, you know it won’t be cheap.
The system will make its public debut later this month at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

That’s like me creating a company to custom spray Diskloks… Except, probably a little bit cooler.

I think you should! I’ll take one in green!
serious if you make one is grabber orange for a 1970 mustang mach1 and also ship to Canada I will be buying one #cheekydisklok
Cheeky disklok strikes again. Haha
Could this mean RWD conversions and manual transmission swaps?
We can dream
In an ideal world that would definitely happen. RWD manual Aventador SV - all of the want right now
I guess this car really could have a Lamborghini exhaust
Damn it took me 6 min to make the meme xD

Am I the only person who’d use these as decoration. That exhausts is beautiful!
Huehhuehue
TRIGGEREDDD
So we could potentially have an Huracan Balboni??
I’m jumping with sheer joy 😃
Isn’t the LP 580-2 basically that?
Just marketing or is he actually involved creating the products?
I know the guy who has the worlds first Armytrix exhaust on his aventadoor SV. check out @embracethesuck on IG
Balboni is an old friend of Horacio Pagani… perhaps he can make custom louder exhaust systems for Pagani Zondas and Huayras?! 😀
An Italian hypercar tuning company😄😄😄😄😄
When your forced out of retirement to show up your former employer
Sounds like Lamborghini’s still sticking it to the man, be it Ferrari or themselves
Am I the only one subliminally seeing a pair of middle fingers? :O
