We sit down with Buzz Singh, the owner of this 2100whp Twin Turbo Huracan which recently set the record as the quickest Lamborghini in Europe. Here’s what it takes to build a 7 second Lamborghini.
How much power is enough power? Well, for our mate Buzz, apparently there is no limit. You might have seen this car before, not only has it been to our event, TRAX (and will again be on display at the 2024 event!), but it also featured on Car Wow racing a certain David Coulthard in an ex Red Bull F1 car. Back then it had around 1200hp and made mince meat of the F1 car over the 1/4 mile as well as the rolling half mile. Well, Buzz has been on a mission to hit a 7 second 1/4 mile run for the past year. Over countless setbacks (he’s now on his 3rd V10 engine!), he was back at Santa Pod’s Doorslammers event to take the crown as Europe’s fastest Lamborghini. 7.89 seconds was the time to beat.
It didn’t take long to take the crown, on his 1st pass on the Saturday, 2nd of the whole event, map 3 of 3 was selected and it was time to go for gold. 7.87 seconds later and it was over, crossing the line at 190mph. In this mode, the T1 race engine and Boost Logic turbos were producing a whopping 2100whp, lifting the front wheels off the ground slightly on take off. And while that time was enough to be crowned as Europe’s quickest Lamborghini, there was still another day of racing left.
Breaking the record for a second time
Not content with knocking just 0.2 seconds off the record, Buzz decided it was time to remove the rear spoiler from his twin turbo Huracan, tape up the front bonnet aero gaps and hope for an epic launch. Some good old fashioned drag racing techniques. Lining up against Tom Wrigley’s BMW M3 (which happens to run 8s…) Buzz got a brilliant launch and pushed on to achieve a 7.75 second 1/4 mile pass, crossing the line at 192.9mph. Sadly, the weekend wasn’t topped off with the True Street class win (yes, you better believe this monster is road legal!) due to an issue with the car’s launch sequence as the lights were starting.
We spoke to Buzz after the run who was understandably ecstatic. While we can’t publish his exact words, we can get the general point over: “F****** come on! We came here to set the record and we smashed it. From losing my GT-R in flames to setting a European record then smashing it again in a Lamborghini. It’s true, the comeback is always greater than the setback, y0!”
Buzz couldn’t have done it without a number of people who are involved with the build. “I’d like to thank Gursev Virdee from GV Performance who built the car; Zohair Jaffery from Boost Logic for all the parts including the turbo kit; Tony Palo from T1 Race for the race spec engine and tuning the car on the Motec system; Rocky Bhattel for all his support; and finally, of course, my wife, Aubane, for allowing me to do this silly sh** and ruining my kids future savings!”
