Lamborghini Gallardo with 1500 horsepower

Lately JDM imports have been shown on the internet killing Italy's finest exotic sports cars. The top two vehicles that can slaughter exotics are Subaru Impreza WRX STi and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. How did they do it? They have extensive modifications, complete engine rebuilds, methanol injection, and huge amounts of boost plus the benefit of all-wheel drive. The Lamborghini tuner "Underground Racing" has an answer for these antics, and it's in the form of mechanical art at the rate of 1500 wheel horsepower. Apply the standard drive train power loss formula of 25%, and we are talking around 1875 horsepower at the crank! If JDM can extensively modify their vehicles, let's see what happens when we modify a Lamborghini Gallardo using the same tactics.

Major power is being generated thanks to twin turbos and a custom built intake exhaust manifold along with completely rebuilt engine internals to take the extra pressure. The complete modification list is unknown, hwoever it is safe to assume that everything has been rebuilt and strengthened. The Gallardo has a huge advantage over the JDM crowd because of it's rear engine design, allowing short distances for exhaust flow and ample weight over the rear wheels for traction. Aerodynamics are better as well, because the bulk of the vehicle is towards the rear allowing the vehicle to cut through the air like a knife. A quick spool thanks to special tuning and external wastegates, the twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo is an Italian beast waiting to be unleashed.

Of course, it cannot win the bang for buck battle. With total price unknown, it is safe to assume this Gallardo with tuning is sitting nicely around $500,000 total price. For 1500 daily drivable horsepower and an exotic exterior to boost, this is a great package for any deep pocket enthusiast. Do you want your Lamborghini to be this fast?
