700hp Lamborghini !!!!

Twin Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo
Heffner offers two twin-turbo packages for the V-10 Gallardo -- one wild and one that’s best described as outrageous. The wild one is the Twin Turbo 600 package that increases the peak horsepower to a prodigious 600 from the already formidable stock 512 figure. It uses a pair of water-cooled ball-bearing turbos that puff in a mild 4.0 psi of boost and two rear-mounted water-to-air intercoolers. The price, including installation, is $27,999. Why Heffner thinks $27,999 is more appealing to well-financed Gallardo owners than $28,000 is a mystery to us. He just laughed when we brought it up.

We tested the Twin Turbo 700 package, which -- obviously -- claims a power increase to a shocking 700. It, too, has the dollar-store pricing strategy at $54,999. The extra 27 large covers an engine rebuild. To handle the extra boost (6.0 psi versus 4.0) and power, the aluminum block is fitted with iron liners and lower-compression pistons (9.0:1).

The Gallardos and the Murciélagos we’ve tested have had four-wheel drive, which makes life at blast-off a wee bit difficult on clutches -- we’ve fried two of them during testing. So we were a little shocked when Heffner said our test car, which had the manual six-speed and four-wheel drive, used the stock clutch.

Expecting another meltdown, we decided to complete the initial acceleration runs by gently engaging the clutch and then standing on the gas. So we lined up, let out the clutch gradually, and punched it. The clutch held, but in a dramatic display of excess horsepower, this Gallardo did a four-wheel burnout that would make Don Garlits stand up and salute.




That was a fun surprise. Once we got the hang of feathering the throttle and keeping the tires hooked up, the Gallardo catapulted forward. It blew by 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, by 100 in just 7.5, and turned the quarter in 11.4 seconds at 129 mph. The only stock Gallardo we’ve successfully tested had the e-gear computer-controlled transmission that makes jack-rabbit launching difficult. It was a dog by comparison, needing 4.1 seconds to reach 60 and 12.4 seconds for the quarter at 118 mph.

We fell in love with this car. The throttle response was crisp and immediate with not a whiff of turbo lag, the engine howled its Italian music, and since Heffner hadn’t touched the chassis, the Gallardo’s compliant ride remained intact. It made the $229,999 asking price seem almost reasonable.

I want one!

I wish they had a video file of it so we could hear the noise it makes!

The twin turbo ford GT looks awesome too!

Is it just me or are those figures pretty tame. Those quarter times don't seem any better than a stocker.

[TZENU]

A whole second down the quarter is quite a fair bit...! And 129mph i believe their is a possible ten in those cars :evil3: That is AWESOME what will they think of next!!
