Nissan GT-R Wins Worlds Biggest Drag Race

Posted on 04. Jan, 2012 by admin in Nissan

At Briggs Nissan – the leading Nissan dealership in Manhattan, Kansas – they are not surprised at the recent win by the Nissan GT-R in the “world’s biggest drag race.”

In what Moter Trend magazine bills as the worlds largest drag race, the competitors featured a combined 82 cylinders and nearly 5,000 horsepower wrapped in $ 1.5 million of beautifully sculpted aluminum, fiberglass and carbon fiber skins. And the revised 2012 Nissan GT-R, now featuring 530 horsepower and 448 lb-ft of torque, beat all of them straight out without any trickery at all. .

We applaud Motor Trends editors for pulling off the automotive equivalent of the running of the bulls, said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. Win or lose, its great fun and a great video especially since we won.

The $ 89,950 Nissan GT-R was followed across the quarter-mile finish line by the $ 225,325 Ferrari 458 Italia and the $ 198,600 Audi R8 GT.

In all fairness, if we were running for pink slips, we would have had to bring at least two GT-Rs to match the cost of the competitors, added Carolin. Well settle for the title of baddest of the bad.
