Lamborghini hates force feeding their cars but that doesn’t stop tuners from indulging in it.
Lamborghini hates force feeding their cars but that doesn’t stop tuners from indulging in it. Gallardos have always had turbos fitted onto to them and taken to the drag strip trying to outrace pimped up Nissan GT-Rs.
The present record for the standing half mile goes to Alpha Omega GT-R which is the work of AMS Performance outputs about 2050 bhp from a new 4 litre block and does the deed in 7.485 seconds. Aventador’s little sibling the Huracan had two turbosfitted onto its 5.2 litre V10 with the help of Underground Racing and now outputs over 2000 bhp.
Codenamed UR2, it took on the Alpha Omega GT-R and lost out by a small margin. The twin turbo Lamborghini Huracan still has a lot to give mechanically but the Aventador decided to look after the back of its little sister and enter the ring.
Here is a video of the twin turbo Lamborghini Huracan in action.
The turboplantation on the Aventador was done again by Underground Racing and the power figures have more than doubled now. From 690 bhp in its stock form, the figures are now in the 1,550 bhp range and paired to an all wheel drive system, getting off the line won’t require smoking away the rear tyres.
Underground racing hasn’t just slapped on two turbochargers, they have done other work to the car too. Here are the steps followed by them when they decided to poke the raging bull to make it even more angrier. They even offer a two year/39,000 kilometres warranty too.
