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?
