GT-R R35 610Hp tuned by Amuse



Japanese car magazine “Best Motoring” tested a 2008 Nissan GT-R R35 tuned by Amuse on the race track. From what we where able to gather, the modified GT-R features several upgrades including a engine kit that boosts the twin-turbocharged V6’s output from 480 to 582 Hp, an aero package, Recaro seats and new tires.

However, FastLaneDaily reported it was 610hp with just exhaust and ECU tuning.

Either way, hot damn!

Read about it in Option - a little over 600hp w/ upgraded ECU, high flow exhaust, and raised boost. Ran Tsukuba in 59'06" or something mad like that. Wow indeed!

OMG, that car is insane!!!

I heard dealers are expected to do about a 50-70% markup because of all the praise and hype this car has received. I asked a customer of mine who happened to be a salesman at boardwalk Nissan, and he says it wouldn't surprise him.
