Doug Levin Motorsports TT Murcielago Roadster – A Bull With Serious Horns
Posted by Admin on April 15, 2008
Yea, you read the headline right, this is a Twin Turbo Lamborghini Murcielago – A twin turbocharged Lamborghini making somewhere in the neighborhood of 800hp. This isn’t your daddy’s lambo.
The good folks over at Doug Levin Motorsports have built this Lamboghini TT Murcielago and have generously posted this video to show what a real supercar on steroids looks like. One lucky individual who got to ride in the car said it’s the fastest thing he’s ever been in. And “The car has the manneurisms and driveability of a regular Murcielago. The car is driven with the stock clutch for the time being, and if you are a careful and cogniscent driver, the stock clutch should hold for a LONG time (ie no slippage, and no clutch smell at stops.) Exhaust sounds like a regular aftermarket exhaust until you hit boost then it screams like a redheaded stepchild. We were holding conversations while on the highway, and people typically buy a Lamborghini for the noise anyways. A/C worked perfectly, no gargle of backfire while downshifting or letting off of the throttle.”
Sounds like a winner to me.
He goes on to say “Very smooth and linear power delivery. Boost kicks in early (around 2.5k-3k rpms), after that the front end lifts, the wastegates open and the redline comes up faster than one could possibly imagine. Lag is basically non existant. The Murci is a quick revving car as it is. The car makes 800hp at the motor. It feels like more than that if you can imagine it. I have been in a Murcie Roadster under hard aceleration, and this feels 2 times as fast under boost. The car will spin all 4 wheels all through 1st, and I would imagine part of second gear. The blowoff valve noise under hard accelleration is louder than any Supra I have heard. Especially in a open topped Roadster. I have to imagine that when he was on it, it must have been an almost scary situation to be next to the car. If you the type of person that doesn’t like attention, do not put a tt on your lambo. It is an indescribable sound that this car makes that gave me goosebumps. Nothing I have heard compares to it. Including being next to a Tubi’ed Enzo at over 100mph. It is absolutely incredible. The A/F at idle was 14.7 which is ideal as it gets.”
Ok, so where do i sign up?
