Talking Blitz Lamborghini Diablo Bi-Turbo 1400HP!!!

-The Fastest Diablo in the world-

OH MY GOD!!! Going to have 1,400HP!!! The engine bounces off the limiter at 368km/h!!!
(BLITZ is the high performance car tuner from Japan)



Lamborghini Diablo Bi-Turbo

Supercars don't get more flamboyant than the Diablo. It's big, wide and sports a 530 HP 5.7 L V12. In fact this engine is one of the most emotional sounding V12s in existence! So it would be hard to understand why a car of this stature would not be enough to satisfy the needs of the most demanding drivers. Enter Mr. Kondou and his 1999 Lamborghini Diablo SV.





A beautiful example finished off in a fine metallic silver which is contrasted with the matte-black Neez magnesium racing wheels. You might already see a few little bits and pieces that are not standard fit, but hey this is Japan and people have always liked to personalize their cars. Step into the interior and again a there are a few little touches here and there...

You might spot the Motec dash logger which hints at a top of the line management system, understandable to want a bit more processing power in such a car.

Step around the back of the Diablo and you notice the engine cover is made of glossy carbon fiber...but wait, what is that under there?

Holy Mother of ....!!! What the hell happened here??

Yes ladies and gentleman your eyes have not failed you, this is indeed a twin-turbo-charged 5.7 L V12 Diablo SV! Feast your eyes on what is one of the most impressive engine conversions I have ever seen. Unlike bolting on ready-made, easy to fit bits & pieces like a lot of tuners do [playing Lego as I like to refer to it ] everything you see here has been designed and built for this particular car, all custom. The massive KKK K27 turbine and Blitz wastegates have found a home behind the massive V12 where they compress the air up to 1.2 Bar and feed the twin top-mounted intercoolers, again all custom built. This engine bay is something you just can't stop looking at...

This thing puts out 1,187 HP at the rear wheels and a tractor rivaling (it is a Lambo after all!) 128.8 kg/m(940.2 lb.-ft). For those of you that can't get their heads around the modern metric system that is 931 pounds for every one of those "feet" you still use

Out on the road this thing is savage. I thought highly tuned Skyline GT-Rs were fast but this thing is just ridiculous. It can pull 368 km/h (230mph) flat out and there is plenty left as it bounces off the limiter in 5th. More power is on the cards too with a slight increase of boost and a few more tweaks Mr. Kondou is shooting for 1,400 HP and 136 kg/m(992.8 lb.-ft). Crazy!

Question

I read about this car a few months ago. I keep scratching my head wondering how this engine actually holds together.
These cars seem so sensitive and pushed to the max as it is. I can't imagine doubling the horsepower.
Any thoughts?

Use stronger, more expensive parts. Anything is possible when you have the $$$ to back it up and for a proffessional outfit like Blitz keeping the engine together on the road is no problem.
