report-Glowing Flying Object, seen leaving Area 51

Heffner Performance has unveiled a specially tuned Lamborghini Murcielago with over 1100 horsepower.

In order to achieve this insane figure, Heffner added twin-turbochargers to the Lamborghini's 570 hp V12 engine. The end result is astonishing, as over 1114 hp is delivered to the rear wheels.

While Heffner failed to provide typical performance data, they stated "In 90 degree heat the car pulled off a 5.10 second 60-130 (mph) at around 950 RWHP. For reference a stock 580 horsepower Murcielago takes around 9.5 seconds to make the leap from 60 to 130." When the full 1100 hp is dialed in, the company expects the time to drop into the 4 second range.

Look for more information to be released when Heffner finalizes the performance package.

Incredible. Looks better than the Veyron, and does it with half the turbos and 4 fewer cylinders. Hrm. So they took an SRT4 out, plus another turbo, and got more power?

Nice! My favorite part is at :54 secs and at 1:31

GODDDAMMN look at this thing, so sexy.... Super super sexy LAMBO! MAZDA needs to wake up and make a production model Mid-Engine RWD Super/sportscar, with a 3 rotor (Furai would be nice). It will certainly pick up all the supporters since the NSX production has stopped IMO....

I thought the stock lambo had 640 bhp? Unless the rear bumper has been replaced to make the old murci with 570 bhp look like the new ones.

So did they beef up the transmission or is the Dual Clutch system just that much more robust than a standard Manual Tranny?
