Me and my mate took a trip up there yesterday in his Astra VXR - doesnt sound quite that same as your lamborghini though haha! Nevertheless, still a great tunnel to go through! Watch my video if you get a chance :)
40 mph limit was temporary. Normal running is 70mph and only drips to 40 if there has been an incident or contraflow is in force; much more fun at 70 although people do seem convinced it is a lower limit. Oh well, enjoy!
@MaseratiPete there are only 2 cameras, and strictly speaking they arent actualy speed cameras, there is 1 as you go into the tunnell and 1 as you come out, and they pretty much time you going through the tunnel and determine you average speed, so you could do 50 coming into the tunnell, speed upto 100 and slow back down to 50 and get away with speeding aslong as your average speed was 70 mph or below :)
Lush sounding car. i think I saw you just before the tunnel (white lambo)?) I don't suppose you remember but I was in the silver Almera I gave you a nod before you joined in from the filter lane by the cones before it, Really wish Id been closer at the tunnel itself :(
@fozzyrocker380 Cheers!! I don't really remember much to be honest, I was so excited about going through the tunnel, sad I know but I have been waiting years!
I think my highly tuned Jaguar XKR Coupe would be classed as the first supercar to go though following the police cars. As seen on the TV news as well
No I dont think so, it only took me a second to comment but it took this guy a major effort to travel and set up filming just to blip the throttle at 40mph, then upload it for others to marvel at.
This is so tame. You want to see raw power then do a search for hindhead tunnel nissan quashqai. Oh yes! Now we're talking!

The speed limit is 70mph!

@ProTerminalG Yes it is 70MPH now, but when the tunnel initially opened it was 40MPH for the first couple of hours.
MaseratiPete 5 months ago
@MaseratiPete
The speed limit must be 60mph because the road does not have motorway status. Therefore, the limit is the usual A-class road restriction.
JamesGU4 5 months ago
@JamesGU4 Not true. If it's national speed limit then it's 70mph on a dual carriage way unless otherwise stated!

@XKR1234ND Yes I saw your car, but unfortunately, the XKR is not quite classed as a super car, supercharged or not. I am willing to be corrected.
