Lamborghini Diablo Bi-turbo
Supercars don't get more flamboyant than the Diablo. It's big, wide and sports a 530 PS 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.
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?
Open the cover and this is what you are confronted with....
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...
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.

I think it'll make a 747 jet sound quietShalashaska wrote: of that engine.. a twin-turbo Lambo, how would it sound?
Problem is that those KKK K27 blowers will have quiet some lag, but I guess all of us will wet our pants when boost kicks in Looking at the nice leather seats you can see that the person is pushed into his seat..
Awesome car, a twin turbo V12..
this type of car.....i will challenge khalid al baloushi with his r34..........in warqa or al ain road...hehehe

I think any decent tuned R34 might actually beat this car on a circuit.. Since it's awd, and relatively easier to drive.. (if driver %#%$ up, computer jumps in)
This lambo has BRUTE power on his rear wheels, so any corners is gonna be more difficult to take..
Is like the GT3 against any Porsche turbo.. Porsche turbo is for wussies who can't drive
Edit: my apologies to all owners with porsche turbo's
