Nothing like a retired Lamborghini test driver to shakedown an electric supercar.

It all started with Gran Turismo. From those early PlayStation days, Sean was drawn to anything with four wheels. Prior to joining the Roadshow team, he was a freelance contributor for Motor Authority, The Car Connection and Green Car Reports. As for what's in the garage, Sean owns a 2016 Chevrolet SS, and yes, it has Holden badges.

More than $1 million is the price to pay for big performance like this, but hey, Balboni digs it.
