1 Way Diesel Performance purchased a damaged 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo to rebuild on the show Loud & Lifted. Given their expertise in diesel motors, there was no way they were using a 5.0 L V10. Instead they went with a turbocharged 5.9 L Cummins diesel inline-six. As you might expect the engine swap required custom mounts, intake, exhaust, and needed the firewall expanded. The car still retains the factory Graziano six-speed manual transaxle.

Absolutely brilliant. This fascinates me! I LOVE seeing things with engines that don’t belong in them. It’s so cool!

Missed opportunity, since VW had a Diesel V10 in the Touareg. Would have been a much better fit than a tractor engine.
Great idea. Someone should do that on the next wrecked Lambo.
