A 3,000-Plus-Horsepower Nissan GT-R Just Wrecked Another Quarter-Mile Record
A 3,000-Plus-Horsepower Nissan GT-R Just Wrecked Another Quarter-Mile Record-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:35

I thought I had seen the end of it last March, when AMS Performance’s Alpha G GT-R at 196.27 mph. I thought wrong.

This past weekend, ran its own GT-R at the Woodburn Dragstrip in Oregon. On the car’s third run, it hit a quarter mile in 6.88 seconds at 222.93 mph.

It’s made even more harrowing after you see the hairy second run, when they upped the boost higher than they ever had and then the car lost traction in all four tires, coming within inches of crashing into the wall. Thankfully, though, nothing bad happened and they were able to run the third and record-breaking run.

estimates that ETS’s GT-R makes north of 3,000 horsepower. ETS itself uploaded a video of its GT-R at the dyno; it made a touch over 2,700 horsepower at the wheels. So, yes, it’s definitely making at least 3,000 at the crank.

I don’t even have any concept of what that is in a car at those figures. Three thousand horsepower? My god.

My 1948 Jeep Off-Road Project Will Actually Move Under Its Own Power This Weekend
I never thought I’d say this, but my dilapidated is going to actually propel itself down a road. Will it have any power? Will the rear differential blow up? Will it overheat? How bad will it leak? Will it shift into gear? Will my oversized tires rub over every bump?...
