Installing turbochargers will give you more power and a better fuel economy. So why supercar manufacturers like Lamborghini have stayed away from installing one in their cars? The answer is simple, once you install a turbocharger in your car, response time, which is so vital for supercars, goes out of the window.
Adding a turbocharger will increase the price of supercars substantially. Manufacturers will need to change/modify pistons, lubrication, plumbing, gauges, intercooler, and exhaust manifold in order to take care of the increased power. Last but not the least, Lamborghini buyers identify themselves with the sound of the car, installing turbocharger will mellow down the unique roar of Lamborghini.
Mr Stephan Winkelmann, CEO, Lamborghini, "For the time being it will not happen. For this decade, I don't see it happening in the super sport car business – although I would also caution against saying it could never happen. The future can take its own path when fuel regulations are involved. All I will say is that any development along those lines must be consistent with the DNA of Lamborghini."
