Twin-Turbo Gallardo Hits 234.86 MPH Over Half Mile, Sets New Record: Video

Viknesh Vijayenthiran

If you’re looking for an expert in extracting huge power from exotics, one name you’ll hear often is Underground Racing. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, the company regularly builds kits that come with four-figure horsepower ratings, and one of the most popular models its customers like to mod is the Lamborghini Gallardo.

In the video above, you’ll quickly learn why the V-10-powered Italian is such a popular choice among Under Racing’s customers. The short clip shows a Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera modified with a twin-turbocharger system hitting an insane 234.86 mph over a standing half mile and setting a new world record in the process.

The car belongs to Gidi Chamdi who made the attempt at the Shift Sector event held in Oregon recently. Some additional numbers the car put down included 100-150 mph in just 2.06 seconds, and a mind-blowing 100-200 mph in 5.03 seconds.
