Meet Giorgio Sanna, Valentino Balboni’s successor. He has the job you’ve all been dreaming about since you first placed a poster of a supercar on your bedroom wall (yes, those were the days before PCs, smart phones and tablets).
As Lamborghini’s R&D and motorsport chief test driver, Mr. Sanna has the opportunity to drive Lamborghinis as hard as he wants for a living, since his job description is to push the cars to their limits.
Not only that, he also helps engineers develop Lamborghini racecars by providing his input. Oh, and sometimes he is asked to drive in actual races, like the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo and the Italian GT Cup Championship.
Think it can’t get any better than this? Well, it can, because Giorgio Sanna drives today Lamborghinis that will only be on the market two or three years from now. Probably the only thing that’s missing in his professional life is to have Lamborghini name a car after him. He has plenty of time for that though…
