1875hp Gallardo Twin-Turbo Runs The Quarter Mile in Less Than 10-seconds

HOLY COW!? AT LEAST 900WHP???

Sunway GT Auto EVO 3 8xxwhp ran quatermile for 8.9secs

can't u read its his first time behind the wheel...

Ariolz : try 1450WHP :D well doesnt look like it was running on slicks.... with a pro driver and with slicks i think the time would be much better...

the Lamborghini Gallardo you see here has received the twin-turbo treatment and is now producing up to 1875hp at the crank and that’s after considering the 25 per cent drivetrain loss.

what 1450whp???

nvm what i just said. =p

oh its on the video?

sorry I cant see the video fuck the china's great firewall :S

Did you guys noticed in the video it is a rear wheel drive now?

And the tires were growing at that kind of revolution!

Eh??? RWD only? I thought the ori car is 4WD?

"the Lamborghini Gallardo you see here has received the twin-turbo treatment and is now producing up to 1875hp at the crank and that’s after considering the 25 per cent drivetrain loss."

Uh dude, you can't have "drive train losses" at the crank. The crank is before the drive train - i.e. before the transmission and axles.

to Savahn: Thanks for the info.. We will contact our source to clarify it..

Netmatrix,
Yeah. The car is ori 4WD but did you noticed it was on a 2 Wheel Dyno? The front wheel aint moving.

Savahn,
The engine still has to drive the transmission and axle, as they were on Wheel Dyno instead of Engine Dyno.

Edward Chew,

That didn't make sense either. How did you get 1875HP at the CRANK when measuring at the WHEEL (dyno)?

Crank horsepower is usually taken at the flywheel. The flywheel connects to the transmission and clutch plates.

Hence, if you consider 25% drivetrain losses, you would have 1406HP at the wheels on a wheel dyno.

Oh, one final bit; the Gallardo is rear-mid engined. Hence, drive train losses would be less than 25%. Probably 15-20%.

The car is RWD and it's not too complicated to ditch the front drivetrain to convert. To produce this kind of hp the drivetrain needs to be re-engineered anyway.

Drivetrain losses would be higher with all wheel drive.

You don't actually need to measure at the crank (flywheel) to calculate crank hp. They can measure drive train losses and calculate crank hp with wheel dynos.

Of course I'm assuming that they are indeed going with RWD and didn't just disconnect the front drivetrain to be able to measure hp on a 2WD dyno. Not difficult to do.

spotted a murcie in front of the gallardo...

My friend Bryant Tan from Kajang has a Lude that can whip this Lambo's arse in no time, love... Just get down to K TOwn and seek the black of death lude!

ahaha brother i used to have a lude with over 350hp 2.2 v-tec turbo but before touching this car u ll have to put a rocket behind ur ass to even come close ahahah

A1Diablo,

This Gallardo is RWD, NOT AWD. You can see from the vid. Hence the drive train losses would be 10-20 %, based on rule of thumb.

And you CANNOT measure drive train losses without measuring both flywheel and wheel. There are rules of thumb but the exact measurement needs that data. Look at Nissan GTR; that car has the lowest drive train losses of any car in its class due to great engineering.

My point was:

1. If I can pick up a standard Gallardo (AWD)this morning technically I can put in on a 2 wheel dyno today itself. The Gallardo runs a viscous coupling centre diff. The hardware is a reactive type not governed by computers. The front uses an open diff with the brakes applied to mimic limited slip. Just have to deal with the front wheel ABS sensors. So does this make 'my Gallardo' above AWD or RWD?

The point is the video clip does not say whether Underground Racing built their TTG as a 4WD or RWD. We only see from the clip that it is run on a 2 wheel drive dyno.

For the Nissan GTR its Attesa ETS Pro is an active 4WD system with multiplate centre diff governed by computers. Much harder to put that on a 2 wheel drive dyno without causing upset to its computers.

2. On the drive train losses issue. Can't you put the car in neutral and let the dyno measure drivetrain resistance?? You'd only miss the frictional losses of the gbox input shaft which is miniscule. I'm no dyno guru but I presume that is possible. I was under the impression thats what they do before doing a run, in order to measure drivetrain resistance/friction.

1. Of course on the Gallardo the front prop shaft would have to be disconnected but thats pretty much all you need to do.

A1Diablo,

Yeah, you be right; you can measure drive-train losses on a dyno that way.

But in reference to the article, the sentence still does not make sense. I am wondering how they factored in 25% losses for drivetrain. Given that Nissan GTR's drive train losses are 15% on a AWD, the rule of thumb is 10-20% for a front engined, front wheel drive or MR, rear wheel drive. Hence, the drive train losses for the Gallardo would be less than 25%.

If 10-20% is the rule of thumb for FF, FR or MR then 25% probably implies that the TTG a AWD car but they probably just dynoed it on a 2WD dyno with the front drive disconnected.

15% loss on the GTR probably means that the car was very well engineered as you stated.

i think u guys should search for this TTG in youtube cos i found few videos of it..stated that the car is still a daily driven and it is not fully modified ( i think in term of suspension-tyres-many other things that a drag monster did )...just ignore the amount of hp and the time clocked..the dragster that went to sepang clocked 10s with huge amount of hp, but lots of reason why it happened (braking distance,surface etc.)....let's just assume that the TTG is just like the dragster...but the TTG is really fast from the other videos i've watched..

THis Gallardo will seriously burn rubber like Rajoo's car, the blue killer wira from Bentong with RM10000 sound system by Chimps Audio Associates
