Porsche GT3 RS 9ff GT 1000 vs 911 Evotech, Nissan GT-R EcuTek and GT-R AMS

It is time for some drag racing, but not any kind of, but the real deal. Dragtimesinfo has published a video showing a mighty Porsche GT3 RS 9ff GT 1000 making some starts against 911 Evotech, Nissan GT-R EcuTek and GT-R AMS. The GT3 RS 9ff GT 1000 has (as you may suggest) a thousand HP, while the 911 Evotech has “just” 620HP. Nissan GT-R EcuTek Stage 2 boasts 700HP and the GT-R AMS Stage 2 has only 650HP.

The first start is against the 911 Evotech and after an awful start, the GT3 RS3 9ff GT 1000 managed to cross the finish line first with time of 28.160 seconds and terminal speed of 327 km/h.

The second start is versus GT-R EcuTek, which won the race with time – 25.922 seconds and terminal speed of 313.58 km/h.

The third start is versus the other Nissan – the GT-R AMS. It lost the battle win time of 26.967 seconds and speed of 314.68 km/h.

The last start is again versus the 911 Evotech and again the GT3 RS3 9ff GT 1000 won, but with best time and terminal speed of all races – 26.276 seconds and speed of 337.07 km/h.

2013 Nissan GT-R Breaks Records In Russia [VIDEO]

One of the most impressive machines on planet Earth is 2013 Nissan GT-R. The latest adventure it embarked on is in Russia where with the help of LAV Productions Company it has set the goal to break the speed record on natural ice.

The event happened literally on Lake Baikal under severe weather conditions. The temperature was – 22 Degrees Celsius and the ice depth was enough (1.4 m) to sustain the weight of the Nissan. The team there came to the Lake in order to set a new world speed record on ice for a standard production vehicle.

Although given the fact that the GT-R can generate 540 horsepower (397 kW), the ice under the wheels definitely made the task tougher and much harder. Roman Rusinov and Andrey Leontjev were those who mastered the unusual challenge and according to their words, thanks to Nissan GT-R’s all wheel drive, they have managed to fully realize the power of the torque – which is 632 Nm (466 kW) at 3200 to 5800 rpm.

The end result is that they have ended up breaking a record: the top speed achieved is exactly 294.8 km/h. If you want to know more about what exactly happened there, just view the video below.
