There’s an old saying that everything is bigger in Texas, but we never knew that was true for high-performance supercars. Apparently, that saying also goes with Japanese supercars.
In its stock form, the Nissan GT-R puts out a mind-bending 545 hp from its twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6, which is nothing to snort at. In its most potent form, the GT-R Nismo, pumps out 600 hp and 481 lb-ft of torque, which allows the supercar to get to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph. Regardless of how you feel about the GT-R, there’s no denying that’s quick.
Tony Palo and his shop from T1 Race Development in Texas didn’t think the GT-R had enough power and pumped it up to an insane level. This video from Japan’s Motorhead magazine gives enthusiasts a close up look into the most powerful and quickest GT-R in the US.
In the beginning of the video, Palo’s GT-R is on a dyno and can be seen putting out 2,166 hp and 1,302 lb-ft of torque, but Palo claims that a different run showed 2,276 hp. In addition to the outrageous output, the GT-R also holds the half-mile speed record at 235.6 mph.
