    If only every company gave tribute to dedicated employees. I can only imagine how proud the test driver must be to have one of the greatest super cars named in his honor.

    So, these are the facts i know about this car after watching the review:
    -rear wheel drive
    -named after famous test driver
    -has a golden stripe on it
    Typical top gear review..

      @daweiye9175 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Because people don’t want some random boring person rehashing stats from a media pack.
      Hammond’s review is the best. He said the car is the very definition of passion. Enough for me to buy it.

    Much much much better than the Huracán

    • @CC8sX06
      @CC8sX06 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yup, and it would have been even better with a gated manual.

    • @glenn5749
      @glenn5749 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I wouldn't be so sure. I mean yes the Balboni definitely looks better than the Huracan and the single plate clutch with the rear wheel drive set up conveys more character in the Balboni than the gyroscopic four wheel drive system with the twin plate clutch does in the Huracan (I speak from experience having been in both of them, the video of the Balboni is on my channel And the Huracan video will follow later this year or early next). However, you can't get away from the fact that the Huracan is faster round a track. It has 50 more break horse power and is 0.6 seconds quicker to 60 mph. The new clutch also means the gear changes are sharper and the electronic stuff makes it more responsive. In short, the Huracan is a better car but the Balboni is a better Lambo, if you get what I mean. The Huracan performs better but the Balboni is truer to Lamborghini's distinctive characteristics. Personally, I prefer the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera to both of them (having been in that as well, video will be posted after the Huracan video). It has even more character than the Balboni, about two or three times as much to be honest and would out perform both it and the Huracan on the track (on the track day I was on the Huracan was overtaken by the 570 multiple times). It also weighs less than the Huracan and handled better than the Balboni due to the second generation longitudinale posteriore four wheel drive system. I also think it looks better than the other two too. There's talk of a Superleggera version of the Huracan on its way though, that could be quite something! Oh yes.

    • @colerobbins124
      @colerobbins124 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      glenn5749 I prefer the LP570-2 with a stick shift transmission.

    • @w-james9277
      @w-james9277 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Huracan is a better car. But the Balboni is a better Lamborghini.
      HOWEVER, there is now a RWD version of the Huracan which looks awesome, sounds incredible, has a duel clutch gearbox, is faster and more involving to driver.

    • @tbn22
      @tbn22 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You are right in saying that as a performance vehicle, the Huracan will trump the Gallardo easily. But the Gallardo is just more of a character. It's one of the cars I will remember. Everything about it is great! The sound, the sharp and detailed shape, the engine, the interior. The Huracan is too technical, too organic looking with it's rounded shapes, the shape is confusing because there is just too much going on that doesn't really work together. I also dislike how the DCT has ruined the symphony of the engine. In short... Impressive engineering piece, but not a very good Lamborghini.

    • @69killingfrenzy69
      @69killingfrenzy69 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      normal mistake, although not all awd's are equal, lambos and such have a biased central diff, more power goes to the rear than the front, that's why they don't understeer, i think the awd system sends 70% of the power to the rear wheels

    • @ThePieman911
