Underground Racing Aventador Twin Turbo Video

[mclwanB]

Forget about the ?morality? of modifying a lamborghini, just look at the 0-100mph run...

1200bhp just the start, they had 1800bhp at the wheels out of a twin turbo Gallardo!

Oh to have so much money that it becomes meaningless crazy car!

TX.

not bad

[GroundEffect]

Surely the gearbox, diff and clutch cannot cope with basically DOUBLE the torque?

Bloody hell that is quick. Makes you wonder, what must it be like to own an Aventador and think "this is not fast enough"!

I wonder what the reliability is like, obviously they can't do test cars so I suppose each build is a prototype on a customer car.

[FreeLitres]

A great example of how to over-edit a video.

Their 1000 hp Gallardos seem to be running okay...

So, after you've had your 1200 hp Aventador for a while, you will yawn at an Enzo's performance?

[HBFS]

That looks stupid fast, If I've won the Euromillons tonight, I'd be making serious inquiries.

Anyone know what the actual 0-100mph figure is?

As said, they have done plenty of Gallardo's with much more power than this, one was recently clocked at 251mph.

They know what they are doing.

That's what puts me off all tuning options. They can't properly DV/PV them. :/

But what data are they working with? What is the life of the powertrain now they've turned the dial to 11? I'd want those answers before adding anything to my car...

They've had 3 in their shop for over 6months so assume much of that time was spent working out ways to stop the drivetrain melting...

[epom]

ah if it breaks just buy another one... seriously impressive though while it works

[Chicane-UK]

0-60 or 0-100 times really don't interest me.. it's the in-gear performance that I like to see / experience

[StuartGGray]

I really need to order one for when I win the roll-over...

[mclwanB]

As for the 0-100 question I consistently make it 4 seconds dead from the speedo.....

[leeson660]

Imagine getting back into a standard aventador and thinking "this is a bit flat"

Just nuts, I bet when something does inevitably go bang it really will go in a big way!

...and add lots of fluff.

2 minutes into a 3 minute video, of an enhanced performance car, before we actually get to see the car performing. 30 seconds later and we are watching fluff again.

What on Earth does that mean?

[redtwin]

I suspect they mean roll-on acceleration 60-100MPH etc.

Was anyone else half expecting to hear a sonic boom as it disappeared into the distance?
