The Record-Setting GT-R Nismo

If you ever have $150,000 to burn, there’s probably no better purchase than the Nissan GT-R Nismo. Recently, the GT-R Nismo set numerous records for speed and drifting, making it one the best and most surprising sports cars to grace the road. Here’s just some of the features and specs of this record-setting Nissan.

Speed Record

At the famed Nurburgring race track, the Nismo holds the fifth-best time on the 12.9-mile track, doing a lap in just seven minutes, eight seconds. Only more expensive super cars have been able to outperform the Nismo on this track. In 2016, the Nismo set a record somewhere in the Middle East. Although an official announcement has yet to be released, Nissan says that it’s one of the fastest land time ever recorded.

Engine Specs

Unlike other supercars on the market, the Nismo relies on a much smaller engine to achieve the same result. Under the hood, the Nismo sports a 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 engine, capable of a whopping 600-horsepower and up to 481 pound-feet of torque. With this engine, the Nismo goes from zero-to-60 in a blazing 2.9 seconds, while also achieving a top speed of 191 miles per hour (mph).

N-Attack Package

The most insane thing about the Nismo is that it’s able to go even faster when properly equipped. By adding the N-Attack Package, the car benefits from improved aerodynamics, a finely-tuned suspension, and racing seats. With this added gear, there’s no telling what the Nismo can do.

While the 2017 GT-R Nismo’s specs haven’t been released, expect them to take the GT-R to another level. This new record is almost certainly not the last the Nismo will set.
