A mile marker looms in the distance - a faint dot on the horizon, blurred by sun and exhaust. All day speedsters have been racing toward it, their tires smacking against the pavement. Each has tried (and failed) to secure a world-record run, wanting to shatter the seconds.

Only one contender remains - the 2018 GT-R. It gives a mighty rev and sails forward, trying to reach the finish line before the clock winds down. Does it succeed?

Naturally.

According to The Drive, the 2018 GT-R now serves as the worldâ€™s fastest coupe - delivering a 3,000 HP run that leaves all records decimated. This platform (anchored by a turbocharged V6) achieves a quarter-mile blitz of just 6.6 seconds, and it reaches a top-speed ratio of 222 in less than five. No other production car has managed such staggering performance.

How did Nissan accomplish this goal? It fused the GT-R with a powerful engine suite. Beneath the hood sits a sport-tuned 24-valve V6, with its aluminum block bolstered by low-friction plasma-sprayed bores to modulate temperatures. The PSI ratio races to 70, ensuring massive boosts of torque; while secondary air intakes propel the heating catalysts and maintain optimum fuel distribution. This all combines with a 3,000-HP output that remains unmatched.

Are you as impressed as we are?

In 2017 Dodge unleashed its SRT Demon - a terrifying V8 that was soon proclaimed the fastest production car in the world. None could match its performance ratios (which shattered the redline at 808 HP and 717 lb-ft. of torque); and no engineering team could replicate its 0 to 60 blitz of 2.3 seconds. This platform, the critics argued, would never be surpassed.

NIssan disagrees.

According to CarBuzz, the 2018 GT-R has just shattered every expectation - securing the world record for fastest quarter-mile. This Nissan platform blazed past the Demon, delivering a 6.85-second time (compared to Dodgeâ€™s 9.65). At the Bahrain International Circuit both cars took to the starting line, wanting to secure a first-place finish. Critics assumed the conclusion was inevitable, with all anticipating another SRT victory.

Instead they found themselves stunned as the 2018 GT-R roared to the podium - with its 3.8L V6 engine yielding an impressive 600 HP. Though this ratio is lower than the Demon's, the Kirkland team is quick to note that Nissan's impeccable engineering (which includes an ATTESA All-Wheel-Drivetrain, 20-inch super-forged wheels, and the Brembo braking system) allows the platform to achieve an almost instantaneous burst of torque. Quick speeds are guaranteed.

With the release of the 2018 GT-R, NIssan proves that itâ€™s a rally force to be reckoned with. For further information contact us today.
