Hennessey claims top speed record for Nissan GT-RThe highest top speed achieved by the Nissan GT-R to date is in the 192mph range, though exactly who owns the figure is disputed - until today at least. Hennessey Performance Engineering claims to have raised the bar and set the new record at 193.7mph (311.7km/h).
The figure was set at the Texas Mile using a Hennessey Performance Nissan GT-R GTR700, reports Edmunds. 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.
Check out the video below for footage of the flying run, but don't expect the record - if it's verified - to stand for long.
