Abstract: Let G be the group of complex points of a real semi-simple Lie group whose fundamental rank is equal to 1, e.g. G=SL2(C)imesSL2(C) or SL3(C). Then the fundamental rank of G is 2, and according to the conjecture made in cite{BV}, lattices in G should have 'little' --- in the very weak sense of 'subexponential in the co-volume' --- torsion homology. Using base change, we exhibit sequences of lattices where the torsion homology grows exponentially with the emph{square root} of the volume. This is deduced from a general theorem that compares twisted and untwisted L2-torsions in the general base-change situation. This also makes uses of a precise equivariant 'Cheeger-M"uller Theorem' proved by the second author cite{Lip1}.
