LP640 Twin Turbo - Pics and Vid
Dropped my LP640 off at Alex's shop (SP ENGINEERING in LA) about 7 weeks ago with the understanding that I wanted to
A) keep the sound of the LP 12 cylinder and
B) stay with the elegant OEM look of the engine bay maintaining a "sleeper" stock looking kit... (I know I know "Sleeper" but seriously when in a seriously modified 997 or Gallardo what is the first thought that crosses your mind when seeing an overweight Murcie at a stop light
)
C) add enough power to hang with the big boy builds while maintaining complete stock function
Needless to say when Alex called me on week 6 to say he wanted me to come drive the car I was pleasantly shocked. He had done all the R&D on his personal car so mine went very fast, even incorporating numerous improvements that he wanted to do after the first kit...
I spent the week at the UTAH FAST PASS (Bad Ass event by the way) itching to drive it and even tried to have it shipped to the event... It was at that time Alex said, wait it is not ready! WHAT?
In all reality he didn't want me to drive it and get all the rock chips my GTR received because this car is absolutely PERFECT! Better than new!!!
I arrived last Sunday to test drive the car. All I can say is that Alex delivered and surpassed my expectations on all accounts.
Sound? Imagine a V12 MS Stage 2 racing exhaust screamer with a symphony of blow off noises
Drivability? Start up, low speed, partial throttle, full throttle, decel, cooling everything as good or better than stock!
Power? Fast as shit! On 91 the car picked up about 300 AWHP over stock and there is still a race gas switch! Completely drivable 900 AWHP at a very conservative no issue boost level...
Looks? Judge for yourself...
I think it came out looking super clean and OEM! Utilizing all black fittings, an impressive amount of labor and love went into all the bracketry and fitment that is not seen but when examined looks like Lamborghini engineers designed it themselves... the whole kit is on a mount system so that it flexes with the engine mounts just like OEM would do... the mesh cover on the back has since been replaced with a custom Carbon one to match the interior!
Needless to say I am pumped about this build and the way it came out.
Finished off the look with just the right amount of power and aggressiveness...
Alex and I both went with the satin black ADV1 wheels to finish off with a more aggressive look for both our cars (his having the stripe).
THANKS ALEX and the SP ENGINEERING CREW!!!!
