In the world of motorsport and extreme preparation, Australia is not to be outdone, as we have already demonstrated on numerous occasions! Such is the case with the project involving Australian driver Kevin Weeks, the Supaloc Racing team and the spectacular Lamborghini Gallardo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Italian supercar served as the basis for an even more radical project, thanks to the intervention of the American tuner Underground Racing<\/a>. On their website, they announce that they produce the \u201cworld's fastest road-legal Lamborghini biturbo\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Weeks is an Australian driver who has competed in a variety of motorsport events, notably in GT classes. He has distinguished himself in a number of national and international events, notably in the Australian GT Championship. The Supaloc Racing team is an Australian structure which, like many private teams, combines participation in competitions, technical development of racing cars and special automotive projects around supercars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lamborghini Gallardo: an iconic supercar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lamborghini Gallardo<\/a> is one of the most important models in the modern history of Lamborghini<\/a>. Produced between 2003 and 2013, it was the brand's best-selling model for many years. In the end, more than 14,000 examples rolled off the assembly line. The Gallardo features a naturally-aspirated V10 engine in a central rear position, all-wheel drive on many versions, and an aluminum chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Lamborghini developed several special versions of the Gallardo, including the LP570-4 Superleggera, which benefited from weight reduction and optimized aerodynamics, with massive use of carbon fiber (engine hood, rear diffuser, underframes, mirrors, central tunnel, door panels and seat shells). Polycarbonate replaced glass in some windows. All in all, nearly 100 kg were saved on the scales!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underground Racing: Lamborghini twin-turbo specialist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This company specializes in twin-turbo conversions for supercars, including Lamborghini and Audi R8 models. Their preparation principle consists in adding two turbochargers to considerably increase the amount of air sent to the engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modifications cover several aspects, including engine reinforcement: the V10 is completely dismantled and rebuilt with reinforced components to withstand much higher boost pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
