Default Heffner Peformance builds 930-whp twin-turbo Lamborghini Gallardo!









Jason Heffner is in the business of building fast cars. We're talking about quadruple digit horsepower, spinning the tires at 100 mph and pulling-away-from-a-Bugatti-Veyron fast cars. You might remember watching a Heffner-powered twin-turbo Ford GT that could hit 222 mph in the standing mile. His latest project is this twin-turbo Lamborghini that's putting down 930 horsepower and 762 lb-ft torque at the wheels. This particular owner also wanted to cut some weight, and added a carbon fiber deck lid and rear diffuser, race seats, and lightweight wheels. Follow the jump to see the extensive upgrade list, or check out the photos below.

A popular modification for Lambo owners I hear. Very strong engines! Less potent versions have been tested in C&D magazines not to long ago. He did a spyder version with over 800 hp to the wheels as well.

I love the wheels on this one. Very nice.

Heffner is one of the best tuners out there right now. In a car and driver standing mile contest, heffner's gallardo and ford gt smoked all the other competitors.

Heffner Performance is is top notch. One guy I knew TT all his vehicles through heffner, and most of them were exotics that most people would kept stock instead.

Must be nice to be able to take an exotic like a Gallardo to the next level. That car is a beast.
