While Nissan is working to set the foundation for the next-generation GT-R in endurance racing, the tuners are more than happy to fully dip into the R35 generation’s potential. We are here to talk about the Alpha Omega, which is currently fighting for the GT-R quarter mile world record.
AMS Performance, the US aftermarket developer that brought this beast to life, has a new setup for 2015, introducing a new billet engine block that takes the V6 from 3.8 to 4 liters.
Other than that, AMS clains the Nissan is using the same mechanical goodies as last year: the twin-turbo setup, carbon fiber intake manifold, as well as a Sheptrans GR6 transmission and others.
Nevertheless, now we want to show you a different video from the same event that saw the two battling, as this clip focuses more on the GT-R. For one thing, the interior footage alone is enough to give you goosebumps.
AMS claims the 2015 setup aims “to provide much improved reliability as well as handle a small increase in power”. This is precisely the reason for which we don’t trust the part about the small boost.
Until now, we saw the Alpha Omega with a mentioned output of 2,000 or perhaps “over 2,000” horsepower at the wheels. Well, on this occasions, AMS dialed things up to 2,050 WHP and we’re expecting things to go even higher in the future.
