If you thought Germany was the only country home to mad tuning houses, think again. The folks at Sarasota, FL-based Heffner Performance are certified, which is the best compliment a car guy can pay another group of car nuts. What you see here is a twin-turbo, 100 hp Lamborghini Murcielago created by Heffner.

One of the most amazing details of the car is that the monstrous amount of horsepower is put down via only the rear wheels, even though Lamborghini insists on four-wheel drive for most Murcielagos.

You can hear the car’s astounding engine sounds in the first video below, and watch it smash a stock Murcielago’s performance figures in the second. As per Heffner:

We have tuned the car up to 1 bar of boost which resulted in just over 1100 RWHP. For now we are playing around with the car at various boost levels and documenting the differences in performance with our trusty V Box.

In 90 degree heat the car pulled off a 5.10 second 60-130 at around 950 RWHP. For reference a stock 580 horsepower Murcielago takes around 9.5 seconds to make the leap from 60 to 130.   With a little more boost it will dip into the 4 second range for sure.

Kudos to Heffner for this fine example of performance crafted beautifully.
