1500 bhp Lamborghini Gallardo wrestles a dyno

This car could re-open the debate as to whether its possible to have too much power in a road car. Built by tuning company Underground Racing they’ve taken a standard Lamborghini Gallardo, strapped on a pair of turbochargers and then lit the touch paper.

Watch the video closely and pay attention to when the boost spikes, I’m not sure whether to feel sympathy for the rolling road or the Gallardo’s transmission, but I was expecting to see something go bang..
