Yeah Balboni has a stripe usually (everycase I have seen)

It's a Superleggera.

No Shit.. but it has a few different bits on it.

Quite possibly. They definitely look like a clip on, clip off type arrangement up close. Maybe it isn't a limited edition then. Just ticked a bunch of option boxes. That would make sense though having removable mesh grills over the intakes for Tarmac rallies. I've seen it a number of times. It was parked up in Subiaco the last time I saw it. So I walked by to get a closer look. It also went by me doing about double the limit on west coast hwy up near Whitfords. Probably just trying to get a closer look at the Stagea.

Did I tell you about the Ferrari club cruise that I saw a couple of weeks ago? So much red porn. 308, 328GTS, 348, 360, 430, 599, and a blue 612. There were more but I don't remember them specifically. Probably about 12 cars all up. Was awesome. Sounded nuts when they headed up the hill on Karrinyup rd to get back onto west coast heading south.

Sig worthy.

Balboni should have a Superleggera tag. "Superleggera" is like their Sport Veloce tag on the Murci - they used it on a couple of different models.

Stripes were optional, like on the Ferrari Scuderias.

@Brett: Niiice! Didn't we see a similar sight down at Leighton on the way to Fremantle? Or was I on my own and just pretending someone was with me?

I think those mesh grills are changing the appearance somewhat Nik.

Yes we did. But it was like that times 10.

@Marv. No but I will definitely keep an eye out for it. He does a lot of contracting work for one of the businesses I look after with detailing. I doubt he'd drive it there though haha
I thought when you bought an FXX it stayed at Maranello. Or am I confusing it with something else?

Bet that'd be toight.

I'm not going to far into this, but Lambo made 250 Balboni's - the stripes were not an optional extra (though you could pay for a 'stripe delete kit), and the front bar has an extra dam where that number plate is.

He's only had it a few months, yes? You'd think it'd only see the track?

It's bloody hard to tell with the shadow on the front bar though. Next time I see him, I'll shout out to the owner and find out fo sho.

Not really mate, they are completely different front bars, unless you are viewing this on your phone?

Almost a year. It's seen the track (got beached in the sand trap @ Barbagello on its first outing), but given I've seen pics of Carrera GTs, F40s and Enzos on WA roads I figured it'd see limited road use.

I'm not going to far into this, but Lambo made 250 Balboni's - the stripes were not an optional extra (though you could pay for a 'stripe delete kit), and the front bar has an extra dam where that number plate is.


Actually, the guy I know with a Balboni was offered the stripes as an extra. Just like he was offered his choice of LP-550 wheels, Superleggera wheels or a Balboni special edition wheels.

They must've added them to 550-2 car as an option, putting Balboni stripes on a 550-2 doesn't make it one of the 250 Balboni units.

That's an expensive sand trap, you'd think?

@Brett: Yeah, Evolutzione or Evoluzione or some shit.

Check out the bottom of the front bar on the FXX already.

I'll say that's seen the track. :D
