Default Holy Mother of GT-Rs! The AMS Tuned "Alpha Omega" GT-R.
1600AWHP.

Man, I wish I had some money. I have some pretty freaking awesome speed shops around me. Speed Inc. AMS. Finish Line Performance. Modern Muscle. All of them have produced stunning show cars and amazing turbo setups.

Ye pretty sick, though I'd rather have the P800 version for road use. This is fun for the dragstrip

Cool video!

My favorite part about that car is never having to buy burnt rice again.

Check out the Speedo on this run. This isn't the "Omega" GTR, but the "12" edition with slightly less power.



The Alpha 12 GTR makes ~1300awhp. At the end of the video you can see it laying down rubber with all 4 tires from a roll on.

Being a huge fan of EVO's, I saw this video after and peed a little.

1600hp for a 3.8L is really impressive

6.0L with 1000hp should be no problem?

If it's really still 3.8L then that's more than F1 per CC...

Still well under 1000hp, or so, a litre of the old 1.5 litre Fi1 turbo cars which used very primitive turbo's and management.
That said, it's darned impressive for a street drivable car - I hope they've put as much time and money into sorting out a brake package, though!

Doesn't quite work that way. Forced induction is basically artificially increasing the effective displacement of an engine. Assuming temperature and air density are equal a 3L engine that could maintain 1bar (14.7psi) of boost pressure throughout the dyno range would have the same power curve as a 6L engine running naturally aspirated. In reality though Forced induction often increases the intake air temperature so the air isn't as dense. Still a great way to get more power out of less displacement. Turbo's are the best form of forced induction right now, followed by positive displacement superchargers (roots blowers), and finally centrifugal superchargers.

I'm all for forced induction though, I just like turbo's more. Less weight, higher efficiency even if you don't get the low-end grunt of a roots style system.

A 6L n/a engine making 1000hp would be making 166hp/L which is greater than any known automotive engine today. The closest you can get is the larger displacement bike engines that rev to 13k or so. A Hayabusa is 1.34L and makes near 195hp, so 145hp/L.

Rotaries are also capable of insane HP levels too, just not much torque, and not much down low. Great for race engines, but they give up longevity and reliability over a 4 stroke piston engine.

The truth of the matter is that any naturally aspirated production engine making over 100hp/L is doing excellent. The Ferrari 458 makes 126hp/L. The S2000 was the previous holder for production cars @ 120hp/L. Most performance engines are in the 70-80hp/L range. Z06 is 7L and makes 505hp for 72hp/L.

Its just not fair to compare a modern forced induction engine against a modern n/a engine when HP/L is the benchmark. The N/A engine will always fall short unless the F.I. engine is junk.
