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.
