Drag races of this magnitude are as rare as hen’s teeth. It’s not common to see the owner of a $3.8-million Bugatti willing to enter into a contest of speed – much less one willing to run against a modified Lamborghini. What’s that you ask? The Lambo price? Only about a half-million dollars (with the current mods). Made in France, the all-wheel drive Bugatti is well heeled with a mid-mounted 8.0-liter W16 engine with four turbochargers. This beast of a power plant can churn out 1,578hp and 1,180 lb.-ft. of torque at peak RPM. In stock trim, the Chiron SS Read More

Drum roll, please. It’s here – the 1,000hp 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto has finally made it. The Revuelto offers innovative features like torque vectoring, regenerative braking, all-wheel steering and active aerodynamics but retains the time-tested Lambo standard of high-revving, naturally aspirated, mid-engine performance. Throttle House takes us along on a track-based review of this brand-spanking-new Italian supercar. It all begins with a mid-mounted 6.5-liter V12 engine that can make 814hp and 535 lb.-ft. of torque – but, that ain’t where it ends. There’s also a trio of electric motors capable of generating the equivalent of 148hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Read More

It’s hopping in Indy where the SHIFT S3CTOR Half-Mile Airstrip Attack is underway. With numerous 2,000+ HP cars in attendance, we are expecting to see multiple world records fall. This will be a standing half-mile event. Better put on your big boy pants for this one – it’s about to get real. Right out of the gate, we have Morris Malone in his insane twin turbo Chevy Corvette. Already chipping away at the rear-wheel drive top speed world record with a 241 mph pass, Morris is expected to blow the doors off the field with this run. He comes out Read More

Hoonigan has taken their ‘This vs That’ crew on the road. Kicking it in the Land Down Under, these guys encountered a pair of dramatically modified imports looking to prove a point. It’s Nissan versus Audi in this head-to-head matchup in the 1,000-foot standing drag race venue. Put on your big boy/girl pants and get ready for some fireworks. At a curb weight of 3,680-pounds, the all-wheel drive 2017 Audi R8 is the cheaper sister of the Lamborghini Huracan – same chassis, engine, transmission, etc. It comes from the factory with a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine and a 7-speed Read More

Round man Frank is at it again. This time, he happened upon a really fast Audi R8 poised to take on an equally capable Toyota Supra. On the card for this evening is interstate roll racing. The action will initiate at 60 mph and end at 160 mph. Good thing these guys are in Mexico, huh? Built on the same platform as the Lamborghini Huracan (same chassis, same naturally aspirated V10 engine and same transmission), the Audi R8 is quite a handful – even in stock condition. The R8 featured in this video is far from stock. This unit has Read More

This straight-line showcase features two very unlikely opponents. The first is a radically modified 2020 Audi R8. The other is a stripped down 1927 Ford Model T with a twin turbo Chevy LS1 V8. This is gonna be good! As you know, the all-wheel drive Audi R8 shares a platform with the Lamborghini Huracan. Same chassis, same engine and transmission. It features a 5.2-liter V10 mated to a 7-speed DCT transmission. Already fast in stock trim, the 3,700-pound R8 seen in this video has been upgraded with Boost Logic technology. A naturally aspirated vehicle from the factory, this Audi has Read More

This video catches up with the 1320 crew in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico for the PR Half-Mile Airstrip Attack. Hundreds of the fastest vehicles in the world have gathered on this beautiful island to engage in a contest of pure speed. Shall we look in on the action on the Island of Enchantment and see if anyone can hit 250 mph? The standing half-mile format is as follows: The racers pull to the line and stop. A race official gives the signal and the cars take off. This is not a timed event. Only top speed is taken into consideration. Unlike Read More

We are taking it back to the track for Day 2 of TX2K23. Overcast days can be a blessing and a curse. While these elite roll racing competitors are faced with dodging rain showers, the cooler ambient temperatures could result in record fast passes. Today, we’ll see the fastest cars on earth including the Lamborghini Huracan (Underground Racing), Dodge Viper (Calvo Motorsports) and Nissan GT-R (T1 Race Development) compete on a closed course roll racing format. The racing begins with the 3,500hp Nissan GT-R of T1 going against a 3,300hp Lamborghini Huracan. Both cars are twin turbocharged monsters with upgraded Read More

Round Man Frank is headed back to the streets (of Mexico) for more roll racing action. This time it’s an import versus domestic throwdown between a Ford Mustang GT500 and an Audi R8. Both cars have been modified to enhance performance. The contest will initiate when each vehicle reaches 60 mph. Built on the same platform as the Lamborghini Huracan, the Audi R8 features a mid-mounted and naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine mated to an automatic transmission. In stock trim, the A8 can generate 610hp and 413 lb.-ft. of torque. At a curb weight of 3,927-pounds, the all-wheel drive A8 Read More
