Turbocharging is an efficient way to extract performance from an engine. How does it compare to a highly tuned car?
The Lamborghini Huracan has proven itself time and time again to be a very fast car. Powered by a 5.2-liter normally aspirated V10 engine producing 602 horsepower, the car sprint from 0 to 60 in just 2.5 seconds. In stock form, it is able to blaze through the quarter mile in just 10.4 seconds.
There is no question that turbo charging a vehicle is an effective way to extract additional performance from an engine. Famed Lamborghini tuner Underground Racing has been using turbocharging for years to extract insane power and performance from their cars. Their most extreme performance package, which requires extensive modification squeezes out 2,200 horsepower from the engine. This set up enables the vehicle to rocket the car through the quarter mile in just 7.8 seconds. This is world record territory.
In this video, we don’t’ have the 2,200 horsepower Underground Racing Huracan but rather a Gosha Turbo Tech car with ‘only’ 900 horsepower. In the other lane, we have a normally aspirated lightly tuned Evotech Stage 2 Huracan putting out 650 horsepower.
Just how much faster is the turbo Huracan vs. the tuned Huracan? How much does it win by?
To answer that question, you will have to watch the video.
