Twin-turbo Lamborghini Huracan Performante? Yes Please

Lamborghini built the Huracan Performante to be fast. It’s even in the name. 29 hp more than the stock car for a total of 640, combined with a fatter power curve means a 10.4-second quarter mile, and 6 minutes, 52 seconds on the Nürburgring. Now Underground Racing has made the Performante even more performant.

That’s thanks to a twin-turbo upgrade to the 5.2L V10. What does adding a pair of hair dryers to an already nutty engine net you? Well, Underground isn’t saying…Yet.

But take a look at their site and you’ll get an idea. Their twin-turbo upgrades to the “regular” Huracan start at 800 wheel hp, and go up to 1,000 hp on the stock engine. Buy their highly internally modified engine and they’re advertising 2,200 wheel horsepower on race gas.

Underground said that the twin-turbo Performante’s Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva active-aero system is still intact, adding load to aid stability – which the owner of this monster will need – or reducing drag to improve acceleration – which the owner won’t.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
