Heffner Lamborghini Gallardo 930 bhp / Heffner Performance

Rear-Wheel Driven?

Violent explosions heard at the Heffner home aren’t of three blonde bombshells posing for pictures. That’s a different Heffner. This one’s in Florida and them explosions are real enough, happening beneath the surface of a Lamborghini Gallardo’s bonnet. Thereupon they make a stupid 694kW at the wheels and peak torque of 1032Nm, which is just as dumb. Even dumber is the possibility that Heffner Performance will ‘disable’ the car’s standard AWD system to put traction responsibilities solely at the feet of the rear wheels.

The twin turbos mated to Gallardo’s 5.0-litre V10 have ensured excellent performance credentials at the feet of the supreme commander; the driver. Mods to suit the package are extensive, including polished crankshaft journals, steel cylinder liners, a heavy-duty clutch to cope, uprated fuel and water pumps and a water-cooled intercooler. The exterior is fitted with carbon-fiber decklid at the rear, a diffuser and spoiler Superleggera-like.

I saw a video with an earlier version with about 700whp a few months ago....its quite awesome. I like how WCF hates on their work and the power unleashed...If you guys don't like after-market modifications thats fine. But don't knock someone else's work and some one else's passion. To each their own; i figured you guys had a little bit more respect, guess not.

what I find funny is that the rwd murcielago was praised, yet this rwd gallardo is being scorned lol.

While you dont care about my 2 cents thats still a hell of a point...cause one is tuned by Edo its automatically better Edo, WCF ? Somehow Heffner doesn't measure up to some imaginable yard-stick ? Lol...

man , im wondering 0-60 of this beast would be slower than stock AWD,stable HP/torque , what a joke...930BHP doesnt prove anything , americans tend to do it more and more ..look at the jap with stock GT-R only 470 HP..0-60 in 3.3 sec , any american choppers can beat it with their stupid tuning monsters ?..i say hell no ...jap tuners and european tuners are way better than uncle sam

I am pretty sure this car could handle its 930hp better then any MB could handle its stupid amounts of hp

A 800hp R34 Skyline GT-R would eat this for breakfast.

I love the R34 and an 800hp GT-R is VERY fast but this will be faster if only because of better aerodynamics at speed/ less drag. Very key at high speeds.

not to mention this thing can spank corners like nobodies business.

Exactly, good point, an R34 could be tuned to corner but the end cost of making an 800hp well-BALANCED GT-R would end up equaling the cost of a stock Gallardo at least.

Just ask Mine's, HKS or any other real Japanese tuning firm. Still this car would have an edge because of its OEM design, chassis among other things.

In order for a gtr to handle like this car, it has to lose 1000lbs, lower its cg about a foot and tweak the roll centers lower to compensate for the new cg. In the end you would end up with a stripped gtr which wouldn't be very fun to drive.

Yeep, The Mine's R34 for example drops 500lbs of weight of the OEM R34s curb weight(it weighs 29950~lbs.) So a major weight reduction would be required.

And even then,it would need much more than that to compete all around with a Tuned Supercar, as you said.
