In one of the nerdiest tests of all time Nissan set to find the exact acceleration time for the 2011 Nissan GT-R. Since its introduction there’s been some rumors that the new Godzilla does 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in under 3 seconds. Some even reported 2.8 seconds. But Nissan’s official test indicates 3.0 seconds dead. That is an unbelievably good time for a car like the GT-R. Only a handful of very high-end supercars are capable of matching that, and almost all of them cost at least three times the price of the GT-R!
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced the 0-100km/h acceleration time for the 11MY Nissan GT-R.
The acceleration time was measured during the media test ride event held at the Sendai Hi-land Race Way on November 12th, Friday and 13th, Saturday. On both days, the GT-R clocked in with a time of 3.0 seconds.
