The story of Lamborghini and its rivalry with Ferrari is stuff of legends. But how many of you know the story of Valentino Balboni? Valentino has gained a cult status, starting from the very bottom of the company Valentino eventually became Lamborghini’s chief test driver. Drive visits Valentino at the heart of Lamborghini to find out how the famed test driver started out at Lamborghini.

Following up to their awesome Ferrari Lego sets (which I happen to own one) Lego has released a set featuring the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. 1:16 in scale, the set features a staggering 700+ pieces and has a disappearing roof. Although it has the unmistakeably shape of the Gallardo, it uses quite a few stickers for the front lights, rear lights and interior parts. Maybe Lego should hire this guy to do a better job.

I’ve never seen this video and hopefully you haven’t either. Here is a promotional video for Lamborghini’s Gallardo LP560-4 Superleggera (that’s a mouth full), the video focuses on Lamborghini’s extensive use of carbon fiber through out the entire car. Even though the original Gallardo Superleggera toned down the weight by 220 lbs, the new Gallardo LP560-4 Superleggera removes another 200 lbs and adds another 39 HP. I would love to rip around in one of these! Video after the jump.
