I can’t imagine too many Lamborghinis see action in the wet. But if you had the opportunity to flog a Raging Bull, would you stop because of a little rain? I didn’t think so. This video is focused on the RWD LP550 Valentino Balboni edition Gallardo, but the guys from 0-60 also got their hands on the LP570 Superleggera, which we’ll apparently see more of later. Turn the sound up for this one…

0-60 Magazine Exclusive: Thrashing Lamborghinis

Yes, that Balboni. As in, the same lucky mother who’s been a test driver for Lamborghini since 1968 and driven over 80 percent of all Raging Bulls ever created, Valentino Balboni. It would seem Lamborghini wants to pay tribute to its chief test driver by working up yet another wicked variation of the Gallardo. The 5.2-liter V10 behind the seats has been ever so lightly detuned to offer up a mere 550 horsepower, all of which kick at the rear tires. With the Gallardo’s delicious all-wheel drive system in pieces, the engineers at Lamborghini had to rework their magic on the car’s suspension – serving up new spring rates, stabilizers, tires and dampers. At a featherweight 3,035 lbs, this sucker clicks off the naught to sixty dash in 3.9 seconds. If you’ve got $219,300 lying around and can lay your greedy paws on one of the 250 to be built, give us a call. We’ll be your new best friend. More pics at MotorAuthority
