Exclamation The first 550-2 Twin Turbo by Underground Racing LP1000-2 **PICTURES**
This is Underground Racing's first Twin Turbo Gallardo 550-2. This Lamboghini has been fitted with our Stage 3 TT system, 1000 whp on pump gas and 1250 whp on race gas. We went with the Motec ECU with boost by gear set up and a set of R888's to help get this 2wd monster hooked up.

Would it be safe to assume that the 2wd gallardo would be at an advantage on the highway in a head to head comparison to its awd brother?

Factoring in drive train loss, weight savings less the AWD system...


My heart skipped a beat when i saw a 2wd gtt. you guys keep me up a night... about to sell my boat

I was waiting to see someone do up the 550-2! What are the advantages or disadvantages to the 2WD vs AWD?

That has to be a hell of a ride. The AWD maybe faster, but the RWD just seems like it would be way more fun and exciting.

Just off the top of my head. 2wd would be less weight because of no front diff and drive shafts. And less drivetrain loss through 2wd, so more power to the ground.

On pump gas at 1000 whp the awd will be faster 0-60mph. 60-150 I think the 2wd car will be faster because of the weight.

Kevin,

Do you guys lower the boost even more on this model in the lower gears to keep it straight?

is it an e-gear or a manual?

I am curious to see how this car would perform at the drag strip on drag radials in the back... I am assuming it will be easier to burn out and launch, especially if it is a manual...
