Default What's the story of the Supecharged Diablos?

I have seen some information on Lambocars.com about a run of several supercharged Diablos.

Were these done aftermarket or by the factory?
Does anyone have any details or stories on these?
Did they make significantly more power than the standard models?
Were they reliable?
Any horror stories?

Thanks.

no supercharged cars were done by the factory
only after market adds on and tuners conversion
there are many TT diablo, about 10 made by platinum motors ( 750hp)
for what i know they are very fast
few countach turbo conversion were made in the 80's but i don't know much about them

Mark- I heard that car recently sold.
Does anyone know owners of supercharged Diablos? I would be curious to learn more about reliability?

All-
Thanks for the input.
Mark- you and Lthlvpr are correct. The car was sold...to ME.
I purchased the Millenium twin supercharged car. Will be picking it up next week. I will post some pictures and it will be heading to the dyno. Hoping to see some serious power.
I will keep you posted.
Thanks again.
