AMS Performance Nissan GT-R Alpha 12 Package Press Release
Acceleration better than most dedicated drag cars, with enough top end speed to put any exotic to shame, yet mild mannered enough for daily use. At over 1500 HP the AMS Alpha 12 was developed to convert your GT-R into one of the fastest, street legal cars to ever hit the highway. In initial testing we set a blistering 60-130 mph acceleration time of 3.31 seconds! Whether you’re on the road or at the track, you would be hard-pressed to find ANY vehicle in the world that would come close to your Alpha 12 GT-R! Not even the $1.5M Bugatti Veyron can compare!
The Most Powerful GT-R Package On The Market, Yet Mild Mannered For The Street
The key to the menacing power of the Alpha 12 is the AMS Turbo System capable of over 1500 HP. In addition a comprehensive list of supporting Alpha Series components integrate to form a turn-key solution for unmatched power and performance.
Typically power like this comes at the cost of drivability issues and a narrow powerband. That is not the case with the Alpha 12 as every aspect of this package was fine tuned to allow for a true Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Your GT-R will go from mild-mannered and streetable one moment to white-knuckled power the next.
Quality, Integrity, RESULTS
At AMS we back up our packages with real-world results. In preliminary testing of the Alpha 12, we shattered the World Record for Quickest and Fastest GT-R running a 8.97 @ 169.5mph in the quarter mile in full street trim! 0 to 170 MPH was reached in a quarter of a mile! Now that’s performance that speaks volumes…
Alpha 12 Sets The Record For World’s Fastest GT-R… Twice!
In the Fall of 2011, two customers with Alpha 12 GT-R’s set new records in a standing mile. At the Moscow Unlimited the record was set with a 215 mph run… on a wet course! This record did not stand for long. Another Alpha 12 GT-R just weeks later at the Texas Mile broke the record again at 216.9 mph even with a 25 mph head wind!
The Alpha 12 GT-R Is Built Right The First Time
An advanced engine program is necessary to withstand the unsurpassed power levels of the Alpha 12. The Alpha 4.0L Race Engine within the Alpha 12 is sleeved with ductile iron for strength and increased bore. Each engine is fortified with the best internal components available; then balanced, blueprinted and hand assembled to AMS’ exacting standards. Each engine that goes into an Alpha 12 is strategically strengthened to support the monstrous power and torque. The Alpha CNC Race Ported Cylinder Heads and Alpha Series Camshafts are perfectly matched to flow at low, mid and high lift to achieve the most effective power curve.
In addition your new Alpha 12 spec transmission is prepared by the industry leader, Sheptrans.com, with the latest Dodson and PPG components to offer piece of mind while packing THREE TIMES the horsepower of a stock GT-R.
