AMS Alpha 12 Nissan R35 GT-R sets new record...for audacity [video]

1,300 HP car sets a new road-car record for the 60 mph to 130 mph (96.5 km/h to 209 km/h) acceleration

Last time this car did the 60 to 130 mph (96.5 km/h to 209 km/h) acceleration in 3.46 seconds.

This time, AMS Performance has clocked that time in at 3.34 seconds - which the tuner claims is a record for a road-going car.

The Nissan GT-R-based AMS Alpha 12 comes with a whopping 1,309 bhp (976 kW / 1327 PS) and 995 lb-ft (1347 Nm) of torque.

The American tuner also has a new quarter mile time of 8.975 seconds for the car, by which time it is going 169.49 mph ( 272.77 km/h).

Any sportcar that is tuned car probably do it in 9sec. yet do you see any other person stepping up to the plate. no. either way its still a challenge to tune a car and pull off a run like that. Not many companies have the knowledge or the parts to do what AMS have done
