Nissan GTR “The HULK” Sets 218mph Top Speed Record

Nissan GTR Hulk at Nissan GTR The HULK Sets 218mph Top Speed Record

Nissan GTR is a very, very talented sports car. Its acceleration and handling are better than the best of what the super car world can offer at the moment. One thing the GTR is not famous for is top speed. It easily gets past the magical 300 km/h mark, but these days 300 is walking pace, really. That’s why the guys over at Severn Valley Motorsport decided to make a GTR with only one priority: Top Speed.

Called the HULK, this GTR is powered by a heavily ticked-out engine that churns out 1,250 hp. With that nuclear bomb under the bonnet, the HULK does 218 mph (350 km/h) without breaking a sweat.
