Underground Racing Stage 3 Gallardo 6 Speed Manual With Many Additional Options on 2040-cars
Kingsport, Tennessee, United States
Underground Racing Stage 3 Gallardo, with lots of additional mods in addition to the turbo system.
The car is a 2004 (produced in April 2004 as no. 1,470, so not a launch or early production car), pearl yellow (Giallo Midas), with black leather interior with yellow stitching, 18k miles, 6 speed manual, with full electric seats, coming home, etc. I bought the car in 2011 from a friend, who had purchased the car from Lamborghini Palm Beach a couple of years before with around 8k miles on it. When I bought the car it had around 15k miles and was still stock other than tinted tails and side marker lenses, painted calipers (body color), a LOC exhaust, and a custom stereo system, all of which my friend had added. I added the stage 3 UR turbo system (black finish), with 67mm billet turbos, fully built engine, etc. The car made 1,005 whp on pump gas, and also has a low boost pump setting, which is what I have driven it on 99% of the time, where it makes "only" around 800 whp. I have never run it on race gas, and in fact it doesn't even have a race gas tune programmed into the boost controller, although I'm sure that can be easily added if the buyer desires. It has not been launched or beat on at all while I have had it. The car has well over $50k in upgrades in addition to the turbo system, including: HRE CF43 wheels with carbon fiber barrels (HRE doesn't make these anymore) and Toyo R888's with plenty of tread left. Renown LP570 style front bumper with exposed carbon fiber lower portion. Xpel self-healing clear bra on full hood, bumper, and fenders plus mirrors and high-wear areas on sides and rear fender lips. Transparent engine bonnet (few if any '04's came with this option so I had to add it). Carbon fiber engine compartment trim. '08 SL carbon fiber steering wheel and airbag cover. Carbon fiber gearshift surround. Rear Lamborghini logo painted black. SL carbon fiber side splitters. SL carbon fiber rear diffuser. SL carbon fiber rear wing with backup camera. Kenwood double DIN head unit with nav, bluetooth, Ipod connector, etc. with custom carbon fiber surround panel. The head unit uses Garmin based nav, and one feature that is really cool is the real-time GPS based speed readout, which also shows you the speed limit on the road you're on. The speedos in the Gallardos read notoriously high, and are also hard to read in the daytime, so the digital speedo on the nav screen is a welcome addition. Memphis Audio door speakers with 2 amps in the trunk (note--my friend also had a custom subwoofer enclosure installed behind the seats with 2 JL subs, but that was a little much for me so I had UR remove the sub enclosure when they did the turbo system. I do still have it if the buyer wants it however). UR installed a new clutch at the time the TT system was installed (~2k miles ago). All the fluids were changed at the same time, and the oil was changed again by UR 3-4 months ago. The car is in excellent condition inside and out--in fact the interior still smells new. This is as nice and extensively but tastefully modded an '04 as you will ever see. I have had no issues with the car while I have owned it, and it has no issues or stories. |

Lamborghini say no to turbos in supercars, for now
Thu, Jul 9 2015Lamborghini is preparing to launch what will not only be its first crossover (discounting the LM002 that was a proper truck), but also looks to be its first turbocharged model as well. But will the upcoming new Urus open the door for more artificially boosted Lambos in the future? That was the question on our minds when Autoblog caught up with Stephan Winkelmann at the opening of the new Trigeneration Plant in Sant'Agata Bolognese. "Naturally aspirated engines are still the best engines which are on the market for super sports cars, in terms of acceleration, in terms of sound," said Lamborghini's chief executive during a roundtable discussion at the factory. "And unless there is [something] better, we are going to keep them." "Naturally aspirated engines are still the best. Unless there is something better, we are going to keep them." "We are constantly looking for alternatives. We are constantly seeing what we can do to make them better," said Winkelmann. "And there will maybe a day when we are introducing turbos, when the turbos are equalizing or being better than naturally aspirated engines." That moment just hasn't come yet, in Lamborghini's estimation. This in sharp contrast to rivals like Ferrari and McLaren (to say nothing of its sister company Porsche) which are wholeheartedly embracing turbocharged engines, as well as hybrid propulsion. Any engine, turbocharged or otherwise, used to propel the Urus would not be so easily slotted into one of its mid-engined supercars, either. "Usually an SUV engine has a different stroke, so usually those engines have to be adapted if you want" to use them in mid-engined supercars, said Winkelmann. "Then they're at the front so you have to turn them, and if this is going to make sense, I don't know. At this time there are no plans to do that, but in general, these engines are not suitable" for models like the Huracan or Aventador. "There would be a day when we think that turbo can be better than naturally aspirated. And that day, we will step into it."
Audi considering turbo option for longer, wider Hurac?n-based R8
Mon, 10 Mar 2014The debut of the Lamborghini Huracán was (and remains) big news in and of itself, but equally as exciting is the imminent arrival of the Audi R8, which the Huracán presages. While the two will share a common architecture, don't expect that new R8 will simply be a cheaper version of the Huracán (like the current one arguably is to the Gallardo).
For one, the next R8 will be larger than the Huracán. According to emerging intelligence, Audi will make its sports car both longer and wider than the Lamborghini version. It'll also share the new Lambo's innovative carbon-fiber structure that will replace both the firewall and central tunnel. But to power it all, Audi will get more creative.
The next R8 will, like the current model and like the Huracán, offer a V10 engine at the top of the range. It will also offer the same 4.2-liter V8 as the outgoing model. But that won't be the end of the matter. Word has it that Audi is also working on a smaller, turbocharged engine to offer in certain markets that mandate smaller-capacity engines.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
