Nissan GTR 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds! tuned by Hennessey

The top-speed figure was set at the Texas Mile using a Hennessey Performance Nissan GT-R GTR700. It's not surprising considering the brutal 700hp (522kW) and 630lb-ft (853Nm) output of the upgraded Godzilla, and it's within 4mph of the car's maximum speed possible on stock gearing, which maxes out at 197mph at redline in top gear.

Getting to that top speed is a brutal experience, pulling 1g in acceleration to get to 60mph in 2.8 seconds, 100mph in 6.7 seconds, and 186mph in 24.79 seconds - well under half of the 53.3 seconds the stock GT-R requires to hit that speed. For a visual illustration of what that is like, check out the video below. What you are about to see is just FAN BLEEDIN' TASTIC!
