The Lamborghini Aventador, in a stock form, is the kind of car that turns quite a lot of heads when strapped to a dyno. Well, the Aventador in the adjacent video decided to hit the dynamometer while packing a shot of Nitrous.
The 6.5-liter V12 unit is gifted with a 100 shot of Nos, or so the uploader of the clip tells us. The dyno was used in order to tune the system. Unfortunately, we are not provided with any figures, so we don’t know the exact HP and torque gains.
Nonetheless, the sheer audio experience is enough to raise the hair on the back of one’s neck - notice that the driver keeps the car on the rev limiter as the engine reaches the climax.
Lamborghini insists on keeping its engines naturally aspirated in order to deliver that character-preserving linearity. This is also a nice treat when you’re hammering it through the bends and you do not want to fall off the balance.
Of course, this doesn’t keep people from overfeeding their Lambos, and the Aventador in the adjacent clip is just one of the many example of this. Nonetheless, most opt for the twin-turbo pathway, with the Nos cases being extremely rare.
