The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni is a limited production rear-wheel drive edition of the Gallardo LP 560-4.

It is a tribute of Lamborghini to its factory test driver Valentino Balboni. The car was available with a 6-speed manual gearbox or an E-Gear sequential transmission and white gold stripe on the exterior. Only 250 units of the LP 550-2 were produced.

The number 550 in its name stands for the power output in horsepower whilst 2 is a reference to its rear wheel drivetrain.

Need for Speed: World

The Valentino Balboni was made available in Need for Speed: World on November 21, 2011 as a tier 3 car. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as an A class car.

It is superior to the LP 560-4 despite its rear-wheel drivetrain due to its better manoeuvrability and top speed, as well as acceleration up to par with the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640.

The only disadvantage of the Valentino Balboni is its weak nitrous boost, but can be used effectively in both multiplayer races and events involving the police.

Stock: 660 (A class) Maximum: 744 (A class)
