Here is some video of the first Lamborghini Aventador LP700 we’ve seen at the drag strip. The brand new Aventador is powered by a 690 horsepower V12 through a very quick shifting ISR single clutch automated transmission. While this run was only at an 1/8 mile track, the results are very promising with the Aventador running a 7.1 @ 106 MPH without even launching the car and a passenger in the car. This 1/8 mile time roughly translates to mid to high 10′s at 134+ MPH. In the video the Aventador is up against a 1000HP Nissan GT-R, not quite a fair matchup but fun to watch.

2011 Lamborghini Aventador Drag Racing

This video shows a brand new Lamborghini Aventador LP700 racing against a Gallardo LP560 Twin Turbo running at 9psi. The LP560TT at 9psi should be making around 940 horsepower and as the video shows it has a hard time passing the LP700 which is rated at 700HP. Towards the end of the video you can see some nice flames from the Aventador as it lets off the gas.

Take a look at this hacked up Lamborghini Countach setup as full out drag car that has reportedly run in the 6′s when now bouncing off the walls. Doesn’t look like too much damage was done, we’re on the hunt to find a video of it making a pull pass.

Here is a great video of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 running heads up and from a roll against a Porsche 911 Turbo S PDK. The Lamborghini has intake and exhaust while the 911 is bone stock. As expected, the 911 gets the LP560 from a digg, but surprisingly, the LP560 was able to pull past the 911 at higher speeds.

We did some dyno testing and drag racing passes with 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo setup with a Twin Turbo Bolt-On kit by Heffner Performance.  We first headed over to HorsePower Logic in West Palm Beach, FL and strapped down the Gallardo to an AWD Mustang Dyno where it put down 740 AWHP on MS109 fuel at around 9 pounds of boost.  From the dyno we headed out to Palm Beach International Raceway to make a few passes down the drag strip.

The best ET at the drag strip was a 10.61 with the highest trap speed coming in at 138.63 MPH.   We had some issues determining when to shift since the car’s tachometer can’t quite keep up with how fast the engine is running through the gears with the twin turbo setup resulting in us tagging the limiter on a couple runs.  We used the VBOX to record some performance numbers with 0-60 MPH in just 2.9 seconds and 60-130 MPH coming in at 5.49 seconds with one shift from 3rd to 4th gear.

We also did some heads up runs with a very fast Nissan GT-R that currently holds the quickest ET and highest MPH records for any Nissan GT-R equipped with stock turbochargers.  To make things somewhat fair, we ran the GT-R without using it’s full launch control system, so both cars rolled off the line without a full launch.  The runs were recorded by ToTheFloor.com as well has having a GoPro camera attached to the side of the Gallardo.

Here is a close race between a Lamborghini Balboni LP550-2 against a Porsche 911 Turbo EVOMS with the Lambo pulling slightly ahead and holding on to it’s lead throughout the race.  The Lamborghini Balboni is a special rear wheel drive version of the Gallardo LP560 which is clearly demonstrated at the beginning of the video with it’s nice burnouts.

Some technical data along with an ordering guide was spotted floating around the net for Lamborghini’s latest super car, the LP700-4. The engine for the LP700-4 is a 396 cubic inch 48 valve V12 putting out 700 horsepower @ 8,250 RPM and 509 ft-lbs of torque at 5,500 RPM. Top speed is listed at 217 MPH with 0-62 MPH in just 2.9 seconds. Power is put down via a Haldex 4WD system and an “ISR” 7 speed transmission setup to shift in just 50 ms. The new car weighs in at 3,472 pounds and is equipped with carbon ceramic brakes, 15.7″ up front and 14.96″ in the rear.

Some of the ordering options include multiple engine bonnet choices, electric seats, multi function steering wheel, park assistance and a Lamborghini Sound System. Exterior paint options include a choice of different black, yellow, red, grey, blue, orange and silver colors spread across pastel, solid, metallic, pearl effect and matt finishes.

One of Underground Racing’s Twin Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo’s producing 1,500 – 1,900 horsepower went off the runway at over 200MPH shortly after it’s chute opened while attempting a new world record standing 1 mile pass. The following footage is the first we’ve seen that actually shows the entire run and crash. Amazingly, the driver Richard Holt, actually walked away from this disastrous accident.

Here are a few videos of a new Ferrari 458 drag racing against a Lamborghini LP560-4 on a runway during a Bullfest event.  The races are closer that we thought they might be with the edge going to whichever car got the jump from the start.  The Ferrari 458 was pulling on the LP560 although the runway wasn’t quite long enough for that to really show.

Underground Racing put up some video of it’s first twin turbo build on red Ferrari F430 racing against a brand new Lamborghini LP570-5 Superleggera. While it’s not quite a fair race with the Ferrari sporting 1200+ horsepower vs the stock LP570 with it’s 570HP, it’s still interesting to see just how fast the Ferrari can leave behind the Lambo. Lamborghini twin turbos with anywhere from 800-1500 horsepower have been running around for years and are usually very drivable at those power levels since they can hold down the power with it’s AWD systems, we wonder how the Ferrari does when starting from a stop or lower speeds.
