When reading the name Heffner most of us think of a well-known American citizen that is connected to several girls but we have to disappoint you, we are not going to write about a men’s magazine. There’s another famous guy out there, called Jason Heffner. He’s known for extreme tuning of supercars. For him a tuned car is a car that can do wheelspins at 100 mph (160 kmh) and go faster than any standard production car. One of Heffner’s toys is the Lamborghini Gallardo, wherefrom he made several upgraded pieces but never before he could make it this strong. The twinturbo engine now deliveres a stunning 942 bhp and 1033 Nm of torque! We can easily call that crazy for a Gallardo!
This car is offcourse made on order and the particular owner also wanted to cut some weight. Therefore he added a carbon fiber deck lid and rear diffuser, race seats, and lightweight wheels.
This isn’t Heffner’s only piece of art, remember the twin-turbo Ford GT that could hit 223 mph (357 kmh) in a standing mile…
