We're all used to the kind of "[insert performance machine name] tears up the dyno" titles, but today we want to show you a GT-R that's so mean it actually threatens the dyno room.
Aftermarket developer AMS Performance's most badass Godzilla to date, the Alpha G we brought you back in February, is coming along nicely.
With the machine, a customer car that's more extreme than the tuner's Alpha Omega development car (we'll get to that in a minute), having prepared itself for the recent TX2K16 drag racing event in Texas, its dyno run ended up affecting the dyno room.
We don't want to ruin the fun by throwing spoilers at you, so we'll let the piece of footage below handle the giggle-generating part of the story.
Returning to the Alpha G, the developer explains that, in the state of tune displayed in the clip, the machine delivers well north of 1,700 hp (at the wheels), but this was far from a full boost run. Why? Simply "due to traction issues."
As we mentioned above, while Alpha Omega, which used to hold the quarter mile world record for GT-Rs, thanks to its engine delivering well past 2,000 horses, keeps the factory location of the turbos, the Alpha G sees the turbochargers being mounted in the nose of the supercar.
This allows for no size limitations and, once the car is finished, we can expect it to pass the 2,500 hp border. That should allow it to bring back the record, which currently sits with Qatar-based EKanoo Racing.
After all, we are talking about a car built for a guy who crashed his 2,000 hp AMS-built GTR and now wanted something even meaner. Well, the Alpha G already looks badass enough, if you ask us.
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
