If there is one dream job (other than the one we have) we had to pick, it would be that of Valentino Balboni, a man who started his journey as a mechanic at Lamborghini. Shortly after his career started with the Italian supercar maker, Balboni was asked by the founder of Lamborghini to test-drive new models. Ever since, Balboni has reportedly driven 80 percent of all Lamborghini’s ever build.

Balboni now has his own special-edition model called the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni. The rear-wheel-drive model produces a whopping 550-hp and goes from 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph.

Here is video of an interview with the lucky guy.
