Lamborghinis aren't typically the type of car you're tempted to bolt giant turbochargers on. I mean, "slow" isn't the word you use to describe them, but hey, who am I judge someone else's craziness.

Built by Dallas Performance, this mental 1342kW Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is currently on sale for a handsome US$229,995 (AU$302,121), or about the same as a 412kW Porsche 911 Turbo S in the US. Tempting...

But it's not just any Superleggera - it's the world's fastest. Kitted out with a massive twin-turbo kit, the Dallas Superleggera puts out anything between 745kW at the wheels on 93 octane fuel to a screaming 1342kW on imported VP racing fuel.

While it was originally geared for 280mph (450km/h), the final drive has been shortened (to just 240mph) for ease of daily driving.

Naturally, the engine (with just over 8000kms on the clock) has gone through an extensive makeover; with strengthened internals and custom fabrication work to push the big bull past 320km/h on the half-mile (800m) roll race. It also comes with an iPod connector.

Despite the extensive modifications however, the eBay ad does not mention anything about a full-service history, nor the owner. I assume however, that it's just been driven slowly by an old lady to the shops and back on a Sunday.

James Lisle (aka J3) likes all things cars. Cynical and enthusiastic in equal measure, James loves to clamber into anything with a steering wheel and a decent amount of grunt. Although it may seem the J3 glass is half empty on first acquaintance with a new ride, he maintains a balanced approach and will happily lose himself in technical details relating to even the most common, mass market models. Bore and stroke ratios, specific output stats, and thermal efficiency figures are his guilty pleasures.
