The Aventador - an aggressive and powerful snapshot of what is to be the next generation of Lamborghini.
Revealed in early 2011, the Aventador received much praise in the performance automotive community. With an astonishing 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds, it's hard not to like it. Despite it's mighty ~700 hp, some members of the automotive community, myself included, would like to see what happens when someone goes and over-does it. I think we'll have our fun soon enough.
There are a few tuning companies that have a long history with twin-turbo systems, particularly Lambo's.
Those companies are Underground Racing, Heffner Performance and RSC (Racing Sport Concepts).
All 3 companies have pumped out some impressive horsepower numbers over the past few years, but with Lamborghini's change to focus on more power-to-weight ratio initiatives, it has quickly become a race to the next step.
There's room for a twin-turbo system in there somewhere.
Underground Racing currently offers the most performance packages for the Gallardo and Murcielago models. They also currently offer the most powerful twin-turbo Lamborghini's money can buy. This video should give you an idea of how much power is actually being pushed out of these TT Lambo's:
After seeing the almost scary horsepower figures coming from UGR, I have to assume that they will get to the Aventador first. According to the internet rumor-mill, a twin-turbo Aventador could easily be putting out more than 1200 horsepower. Yes, please!
