There isn’t better proof of chemistry between man and machine than this
Who could ever drive the Countach better than Mister Lamborghini, Sant'Agata Bolognese's former chief test driver, a man who witnessed the rise of Ferruccio Lamborghini and the early days of carbon fiber?
When Valentino Balboni applied for a job at Lamborghini in 1968, he didn’t even have a driving license. He got the job, though, but he started from the bottom. In the process, he fell in love with the Miura and almost got killed by a Countach he rolled at 180 km/h.
Speaking of the Countach; the model you’ll see in the video below is a Countach QV Downdraft which is said to have been tailored specially for Patrick Mimran, Lamborghini CEO at that time.
