Twin-Turbo Lamborghini Murcielago by Heffner

A Lamborghini Murcielago is already something that dreams are made off. Its hard to beat the space age design and over 570hp powering all four wheels - unless of course you’re one of the guys at Heffner Performance, then 570hp is puny. Very puny.

So being the power crazy tuning house that they already are, the guys at Heffner went about nipping and tucking at the engine and managed to - brace yourself - double the output of the Murcielago and channel that power to only two wheels rather than all fours. By bolting on a pair of turbochargers the Florida-based tuner has officially boosted power up to 1100hp, all driving only the rear wheels.



You might ask the sanity of tuning a supercar, but just take a look at the image gallery and the pair of videos below and you’ll notice how flawless the craftsmanship seems to be. Nevermind the craftsmanship, it’s the numbers behind the car that really boggles the mind.

You’d expect the car to have a very very impressive 0-100 acceleration time so nevermind that but check this out, a stock Murcie does the 100-210km/h in a time of 9.5 seconds. Very impressive but the Heffner Murcei does that in 5.1-seconds, and with “only” 950hp dialed in. With all 1,100hp, Heffner figures it’ll do it in less than four.
