Lamborghini Huracan Drag Races 1,500 HP Gallardo on Low Boost, a Turbo Lesson

After all the twin-turbo Lamborghini action we've shown you, the time has come to see what happens when such a boosted Sant'Agata Bolognese monster meets a stock Lambo.

The role of the factory-condition Raging Bull is played by a Huracan, one that happens to be just as White as the car we reviewed back in the day. So we're dealing with 602 hp, or 610 PS, as metric system followers would explain.

As for the psi-loaded Lamborghini, this is a Gallardo Spyder, one that's been gifted with a twin-turbo package supplied by Underground Racing. We're talking about an 1,500 hp kit.

Now, when such insane level of power are mentioned, we feel the need to put it all into perspective: the 1,500 hp mark can be considered the limit for street use. However, if drivability is no longer a priority, a pair of turbines can take your V10 supercar north of the 2,500 hp border.

Nevertheless, the Gallardo used its lowest boost setting, so the race between the the two can deliver a relevant conclusion. And while it might seem that piting a 1,000 hp Raging Bull against a 600 hp one can't be anywhere near the "relevant" status, you may want to think again.

For instance, the brawl we have here, which unfortunately takes place on the street, allows us to check out the effects of the tuning package - after all, going through such a process must have serious velocity incentives.

The two V10 speed demons race on two separate occasions, but both include rolling starts - one of the fights also sees the Huracan going for an early take-off.

Sure, at the end of the day, a tuned Lamborghini won't have the same aura as a standard one. But when you consider the fact that, for instance, this Gallardo had three higher boost settings on top of the 10 psi one seen here, the perspective might just sound tempting.
