Underground Racing has given a first glimpse of its twin-turbo conversion for the Lamborghini Huracan, releasing teaser images and confirming the use of JRR MoTeC M1 electronics. The US-based tuning company is known for high-output, road-legal supercars, but is holding back full technical details until the car’s full unveiling.

The Huracan’s 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10, shared with the previous Gallardo, produces 602 hp and 560 Nm in standard form. With all-wheel drive and a dual-clutch transmission, the stock car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and reaches 325 km/h. Underground Racing’s previous twin-turbo Lamborghini conversions have routinely doubled or even tripled factory output, but the company has yet to confirm targets for the Huracan project.

What Underground Racing has revealed

The company’s announcement confirms that the Huracan’s new forced induction system will be managed by JRR MoTeC M1 electronics and firmware, a setup often used in high-end motorsport and custom tuning for its flexibility and data-logging capabilities. No photos of the engine bay or hardware have been released, and there is no official word on turbocharger size, boost pressure or supporting modifications.

Underground Racing has not indicated whether this build is a one-off commission or the start of a production run for customers. Pricing, warranty and availability details are also unconfirmed at this stage.

The standard Huracan as a baseline

For context, the standard Lamborghini Huracan is powered by a 5.2-litre V10 engine derived from the Gallardo, producing 602 hp at 8,250 rpm and 560 Nm at 6,500 rpm. It uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission to send power to all four wheels. Acceleration from rest to 100 km/h takes just 3.2 seconds, and top speed is quoted at 325 km/h. The Huracan’s naturally aspirated power delivery and all-wheel drive traction have made it a popular base for tuners seeking even higher performance.

Next steps and what to expect

Underground Racing has stated that further details, including dyno figures, acceleration times and hardware specifications, will be released when the car is fully unveiled. Given the company’s track record, the Huracan twin-turbo is likely to attract interest from enthusiasts seeking extreme performance and from rivals in the custom supercar segment.

Until then, the only confirmed details are the use of the JRR MoTeC M1 electronics and the base car’s V10 engine. The full technical package and performance claims remain to be seen.
