Nissan was in attendance in full force including Chief Engineer for the GT-R project Kazutoshi Mizuno-san./ppThe testing was focussed on one thing, off-the-line acceleration of the new DBA-R35 GT-R and determining what will be the official 0 – 100km/h (0 – 62 mph) time./ppAbove is the finally posted results video and with a track temp of just 13 degrees C (55.4 degrees F) and utilising the upgraded and tweaked new launch control featured on the DBA-R35, the GT-R reeled off a strong3.046s /strongrun to 62 mph as measured by a V-Box measuring device./ppTo put that in perspective it is quicker than not only the new Porsch 911.2 Turbo it’s quicker than what Porsche rates their own 911 Turbo S special edition. /ppNot content with a three second flat 0-62mph, during analysis of the run afterwards, Mizuno mentions that with a warmer track temp and hence, warmer, stickier tyre contact, the new GT-R could very well dip into the 2.9?s. /ppemThanks to everyone who sent this in!/em/pbrstrongView Entire Article/strong: a href="http://www.gtrblog.com/2010/11/16/2012-nissan-gt-r-posts-amazing-0-62-mph-time/"2012 Nissan GT-R Posts Amazing 0 – 62 Mph Time/a at a href="http://www.gtrblog.com"GTRBlog.com/ahrpsmallOriginally appeared on and © a href="http://www.gtrblog.com"GTRBlog.com/a. 2010. | a href="http://www.gtrblog.com/2010/11/16/2012-nissan-gt-r-posts-amazing-0-62-mph-time/#comments"Read comments./abr/small/p
