At the 2010 LA Auto Show, the 2011 Nissan GT-R made its North American debut – however, at the time, Nissan didn’t release any 0-62 mph or 0-60 mph figures. The Japanese automaker announced yesterday that the acceleration time was measured during a media test ride event held at the Sendai Hi-land Race Way on November 12th, Friday and 13th, Saturday. On both days, the GT-R clocked in with a time of 3.0 seconds.
In the 0-60 mph world, that translates to 2.9 seconds.
Blistering fast? Yes. Is Chevrolet going to do something with the ZR1? We sure hope so.
Refresher: The 2012 Nissan GT-R is powered by a VR38DETT 3.8L twin turbo V6 that produces 530-hp and 488 lb-ft of torque. Off-the line performance is also improved with an upgraded “R mode”¯ for the transmission and to control tight corner braking. That allows 0-60 mph to come in at 2.9 seconds.
