We now have the true Godzilla in town, the AMS tuned Nissan GT-R has set the standard for all GTR owners with a record quarter mile time of just 9.052 seconds at 166.7 mph. Called the ALPHA 12, this insane car produces an amazing 1,309 horsepower with 994 lb-ft of torque to the all wheel drive Nissan GTR R35. The AMS Performance tuning company still plans to improve the ALPHA 12 GTR track times when the weather and track conditions improve. This was set in 90 degree heat, which we all know takes a toll on performance when it gets that hot outside. Pricing for the ALPHA 12 is not yet available, however we do know that the ALPHA 10 kit for the Nissan GT-R boosts the ouput to 1,000 HP on 93 octane, and costs $63,995. Prepare yourself to be blown away with the video after the jump.
The tuners from AMS Performance have put together the ultimate package so far for the Nissan GT-R called the Alpha 9. Coming close to many of the Bugatti Veyron’s world records, the new GT-R kit catapults the stock 530 horsepower to an amazing 800 crank hp with a few major upgrades. These include new billet wheel ball bearing turbos, new turbo inlet pipes, a larger front mount intercooler, 90 mm exhaust system, custom calibrated MAF sensors, and new ECU tuning to keep everything running smooth. The Nissan GT-R is now able to run the 1/4 mile in 9.95 seconds seconds at 141 mph, which set a new pump gas R35 GTR quarter mile record. Pricing for this package starts at $21,999 USD, however we are sure they will continue to improve it to eventually push close to 1,000 horsepower, and beat all the current Bugatti records at a fraction of the cost.
Last weekend I was driving on the highway and got my first chance to witness a Nissan GT-R in action. The guy driving the godzilla Nissan flew by my truck going atleast 120+ mph and the only way I could tell it was the new GT-R was from the taillights since it was dark outside. The way it shook the ground and rattled my truck as it zoomed by makes me want to take out a loan for one tomorrow, and these official track numbers from Nissan sound promising. At the Sendai Hi-land Race Way, the 2012 Nissan GTR 0-100 km/h acceleration time was tested, and did not disappoint. It wasn’t able to break the 3 second mark, however was spot on 3.0 seconds. Considering this was a factory standard edition shows the true potential of these AWD cars.
The Ohio based tuning company Switzer Performance has topped their previous records with the Nissan GT-R P900. This modified Nissan GT-R now produces 900hp with an all new transmission to handle the power. Switzer previously released the Nissan GT-R P700 package that boasted around 800 horses, with 700 crank horsepower, but that wasn’t enough. Tim Switzer started off by making this custom Nissan run on E85 ethanol, but to handle these numbers, a new transmission was needed. Transmission failure was the biggest concern of this project, so the tuners hired Dodson Motorsports in New Zealand to develop the stronger transmission. After several months of development between Switzer and Dodson, they received a product that would allow them to push more than 800hp.
The guys at MotorTrend were able to get a hold of the rare Lexus LFA for a couple hours, and decided to run the quarter mile against the Nissan GT-R. Bear in mind that the Lexus LFA has a 4.8-liter V10 that produces 552 hp and 480 Nm of torque, compared to the Japanese Godzilla Nissan GTR that hold 485 hp and 434 ft-lb of torque from the factory. So the power figures aren’t very close, but check out the quarter mile race in this video. I also want to remind you that the Lexus LFA is currently priced at 400,000 USD, while the Nissan GT-R is a fraction of that at 84,060 USD. So who do you think will win the race?
