  • TOP 10 Fastest Cars 2013 [part 2] – Trap Speed

    3rd place is held by Nissan GT-R R35 Mk.1 Switzer R1K-X Goliath with 1,700 HP (1,250 kW). Oleg B. managed to scoop the bronze with 402.23 km/h (250 mph).

    2nd place is for Leonid V. and his Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera Underground Racing R2 / Altechno with epic 2,005HP (1,474 kW). He crossed the finish line with 402.68 km/h (250 mph).

    1st place is also for Leonid V. with Lamborghini Gallardo Nera Exelixis / GTR RT / ZOD / SPP / GTT / Altechno / Syvecs with 1,850HP (1,360 kW). The record for 2013 is 409.09 km/h (254 mph), which is just insane.

    The time, which Leonid V. set with the Gallardo Nera Exelixis is almost unbeatable. He managed to cover 1 mile in 20.845 seconds, which means that the car accelerates 0-409 km/h in that time. The new Koenigsegg Agera One:1 is believed to do 0-400 km/h in 20.0 seconds, but we strongly doubt that. It is quite impossible.

    A lot of improvements are expected for Nissan GT-Rs, which are still in it. We also expect to see twin-turbo version of Lamborghini Aventador and other interesting hyper cars.

    Stay tuned and enjoy!

  • TOP 10 Fastest Cars 2013 [part 2]

    Here is Part 2 of Top 10 Fastest Cars for 2013 by Dragtimesinfo. The domination of GT-R continues… until – Lamborghini. It is very interesting, that the last and the first place are held by a same model with around the same power. Obviously the driver means a lot even in this “easy” discipline called drag racing.

    So, the 3rd place is for Oleg B. with Nissan GT-R R35 Mk.1 Switzer R1K-X Goliath – 1,700HP (1,250 kW).  He finished in 22.251 seconds with exactly 400.00 km/h (248.6 mph).

    2nd place is for Yury M. with Nissan GT-R R35 Mk.2 AMS Alpha 12+ Turbo Drive – 1,700HP (1,250 kW). He did 22.086 seconds with 385.43 km/h (239.5 mph).

    And finally the winner is Leonid V. (which is not a real surprise, because Leonid is the greatest king of Sparta). He is behind the steering wheel of  Lamborghini Gallardo Nera Exelixis / GTR RT / ZOD / SPP / GTT / Altechno / Syvecs with 1,850HP (1,360 kW). The time is simply sensational 20.845 seconds with 409.09 km/h (254.3 mph). This is way faster than all others in Top 10, so we expect a lot of improvement to those GT-Rs.

    Enjoy!

  • Extreme Turbo Systems Nissan GT-R – World Record 1/4 mile in 7.81 seconds [video]

    Extreme Turbo Systems are proud to state that they have the world’s fastest Nissan GT-R. The modified car is able to cover ¼ mile in just 7.81 seconds with a terminal speed of 294.5 km/h (183 mph). The tuning company didn’t specify any performance figures, but the project is prepared almost entirely from them.

    The previous record belonged to AMS Alpha Omega Nissan GT-R, which crossed the ¼ mile finish line in 7.984 seconds with a terminal speed of 299.3 km/h (186 mph). We must note that the AMS Alpha Omega Nissan GT-R is completely street legal, which can’t be said for the Extreme Turbo Systems GT-R, which by the way uses RWD (rear-wheel drive), instead of AWD (all-wheel drive).

    Of course, AMS Performance won’t leave the situation like this and we have to expect even faster GT-R. The tuning company is the home of the first 9-,8- and 7-second Nissan GT-R, so they know exactly what to do in order to beat that record. Other interesting records held by AMS Alpha Omega GT-R are 60-130 mph (96-209 km/h) in 2.67 seconds and 100-150 mph (160-240 km/h) in 2.42 seconds. It also set 0-60 mph in spectacular 1.72 seconds.
