Underground Racing Makes Gorgeous Turbos, Gallardo Makes 1000 Horsepower

WOW…..lately i’ve been seein a lot of these things around (literally 3 in the past 24 hours), but i don’t think it could or will ever get old, even if i had the $175,000 for 1…..this is bonkers though lol…..i’d love 2 hear it in action

As a long-time Lamborghini fan (Can you say Countach? Miura?), I can’t put down the Gallardo, but I’d rather have a Murciélago any day of the week — just an all-around better-looking car. The point of the article was the custom twin-turbo, though, and that is truly a work of art.

If I had the cash, THAT would be one of my cars,.. also one of those New Porsche 997 GT2’s…

I am more of a Ferrari fan myself, more elegant and less “look at me”…but this car is an engineering eureka.

WOW!!! thats a piece of art, wonder how it sounds?

I would race it.

I would race it.

The Lamborghini is in a class of its own. It’s supposed to be elegant and classy. It has a racing heritage and that is why it is expensive.

And by the way talking about Supras, I think the highest dyno’ed yet is the 1520whp one.

if i had cash to throw around id go with the lambo. Otherwise id get the gtr….. but nothing would compair to the handling of the lambo plus 1100HP on this car is pretty insane. weight to HP ratio is just sick.

Hey Larry thanks bro. What these people dont understand is why would i pay 200k plus for a car that can get raped by a car that cost half that and then if u really want to spend some money u can upgrade turbos,ECU,valvetrain,pistons,exhaust well u get the idea. Im not hating on the Lambo but i just think that they are OVER RATED. at the end of the day again ill stay with the GTR35 or the GTR34 cant go wrong with those.

That is a sick setup! Everything perfect, bends on both sides of the motor for air intake and exhaust. Sweet work! And you people comparing this to imports, they could never handle like this car. And bone stock, this one could blow them all away. Sure the Skyline and Supras could all take over 600hp on stock internals, try pushng 1000 like this car.

Sweet ass car, but you’d think a twin turbo Lambo would put our more than 1000hp. I’ve seen twin turbo Z’s, 3000 GT’s and Supras at 1000hp, so shouldn’t a twin turbo Lambo have more?

well… i am really not much for the new lambos, more of Diablo and countach person… BUT!!! this lambo is SICK and i would love to see it run… im just kinda curious if they modded the engine itself (internals), and how much boost its pushing…

now wheres that Ford GT twin turbo (yes some has done it also) and Saleen twin turbo… got some schooling to do… lol

I see it in person hahaha its in so damn sick its in charlotte nc were im at

despite which car is better for the turbo setup, this turbo system is still very clean and well thought out. its not the car thats the point. its the skill and effort put into the turbo setup.

this cars outlook on competitors: “betcha can’t eat just one!”

For the guy who tried to come at jay needs to shut up i thought i would back him up the lambo in the pic is nice but he may be right about the gtr the 2008 Gallardo 5.2L v-10 552hp 0-60 3.7 the 2009 Gtr 3.8L v6 480hp 0-60 in 3.3 the gtr would be more impressive if you up upgraded the turbos

First of all JAY……. u don’t know wht the hell ur talking about… how do you go off comparing a GTR to sumthing so magnificient liek this Lambo…. a GTR is a pussy compared to this… so please dont’t make this mistake again

This car is nothing just upgrade the turbos on the GTR and then u will see what power is all about. Lambo garbage GTR35 baby

This car is not a v12 is a v10 so everybody stop saying it is

This is my dream car even if it`s stock!!…with so much power it`s a big bonus!….wish i had all that power in my Audi TT!!!…in the end it`s all about how much money one has!….MONEY IS EVERYTHING!..people who said`Money can`t buy everything,did`nt know where to shop!`….VIVA GALLARDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad ass, but I honestly think they could have gotten more out of it. I’ve seen 1KHP Supra’s, 300zx’s, and skylines; all V6 powerplants. This car is a V12.. How much boost can that engine handle with stock internals?

Nice going anyway! ”

I have never seen a V6 Skyline unless you are referring to Non-GT-Rs such as the Skyline (Infinity G35). The GT-R is an inline 6, 2.6 liter engine and those are said to be able to handle 600 hp with stock internals. Either way, you are right, that is a very nice setup and they did one hell of a job with it. I would rather have it very responsive than a ton of power that comes on late and really only works from a rolling start or in a straight line.

Im all about being different and thats fuckin awesome. Total props and hammer down.

Well said Austin! This thing looks wicked! Bet it cost a pretty penny, but well worth it!

i was wondering when someone was gonna do that….just cuz it a 300k car doesn’t mean you can’t upgrade

YEAH IT LOOKS GOOD, BUT IS IT FAST??……………..LOL

To XTZTwinTurbo, I belive that both the Supra’s 2jz and the Skyline’s rb26 are both Inline 6s not V’s. Back on topic that setup is intense.

God damn fucking batman car lookin ass!

0-60mph in faster than you can read this.

SHAAAAA…WIIIINNNGGG…….

SLITHER ME PIMPKINS!

The prostate exam from hell meets Frankenstein. This thing looks insane. A fast and powerful car with sup’d up I love it }:)

This thing is sexy and the thing thats real good is that it in charlotte where i live so im going to go see it

Yeah, Gallardo’s have V10’s, Murcielago’s have the big dog V12’s.

Wait, dont these things got the v-10’s?

pssh i would drive that just the way it is. f the rear bumper

WOW!

WOW!

thatts how they should’ve been built. that how I would’ve done it.

I wonder if they could design fairings to complete the body at the outside,and leave the engine compartment open? Not only would the georgeous design be left for intent drooling and staring, the whole heat transference thing would recieve a huge dollop of cooling airflow….

im not really a fan of lambos, but that look goregous!

Here’s a question do you really want a screen name OAFMAN. LOL its good to be back on the blog

Here is another verde ithaca 1000hp IMSA Gallardo GTV

With the heat coming off of that engine, any sort of covering better have a high melting point otherwise this car will be leaving slag all over the track. Here is another question, do you really want to make an engine that is already prone to fire even more powerful and thus generating more heat?

I’d like to see the tubing glow red from racing/whatever.

You could cover it up with some nice clear Lexan or something to that extent. And now that I said that it’s only a matter of time before some idiot with to much money to have any decency or taste (Russia, U.A.E., Kalifonia, ETC…) to have one made with an all clear body. And i apologize in advance for giving them the idea.

I’d really love to hear that setup in action.

wow… that is sexy as hell… wish there were more pictures, maybe a few videos

twin turbo love… never seen a resonator that small though.

:’) beautiful!

i wouldnt cover it up either. what a nice piece of machinery made even better.
