Dream car of the day: Heffner TT Murcielago
1100 HP all to the rear wheels, not all 4, like in the "measly 670 hp" murcielago.
Sure, there are some cars on the road more bonkers than the Lamborghini Murcielago. But not many. After all, how do you best over 570 horsepower driving all four wheels? Well, how about nearly doubling the output and channeling it all through half the wheel count? That's exactly what Heffner Performance has done with its twin-turbo upgrade for the aging raging bull. By bolting on a set of turbochargers, the Sarasota, Florida-based tuning garage has boosted the corral up to 1,100 horsepower, all driving through the rear wheels.
As you can see from the photos in the high-res image gallery below and the pair of videos after the jump, the craftsmanship looks flawless. But it's the acceleration that really boggles the mind. With that much power channeled through two wheels, we don't want to ask about the standstill sprint to 60 mph, but Heffner's given us a hint at the twin-turbo Murci's in-gear acceleration times, which is really what it all comes down to. A stock Murcielago can jump from 60 miles per hour up to 130 in 9.5 seconds. Pretty impressive, but that's just for reference. The Heff? 5.1 seconds. In 90-degree heat. With "only" 950 horsepower dialed in. With all 1,100, Heffner figures she'll do it in less than four.

OOOOOOOO! Twin Turbos! If you want REAL power on a STREET car, twin turbos ARE where it's at 4 SURE! 1,100 hp is actually pretty timid for twin turbos, but then that's probably on 91 or 92 octane gas, and not the GOOD stuff. Probably make 1,800 hp on race gas!
Here's a truck we seen at MIS this summer at a show in July:
Lingenfelter prepped 540 CI TWIN TURBOS!
Horsepower? How about 1570 hp on C16 race gas!
My point? WOW! More is BETTER! And THIS Murcielago is OVER THE TOP! And I LIKE IT!
