While everyone else has been tinkering around, waiting to discover the next new detail on the 2012 Nissan GT-R, AMS Performance has been working on a package for the GT-R R35 that will just blow you away! The package is called the Alpha 9 and will catapult the standard 530hp found on the current GT-R R35 to a mind-boggling 650hp! Now, that’s an upgrade! Adding this much extra power will inevitably bring better performance numbers. The Nissan GT-R is now capable of running the quarter mile in 10 seconds at 138 mph setting a new pump gas R35 GT-R 1/4 mile record. This does confuse us, however, because back in May we reported on a GT-R R35 that did the quarter mile in 9.62 seconds. We have to wonder if these two know about each other. Next to the engine upgrade, the Alpha 9 package also includes a 90 mm exhaust system, upgraded billet wheel ball bearing turbochargers, new turbo inlet pipes, a front mount intercooler upgrade, and custom calibrated MAF sensors. The tuner can also add catalytic converters for the downpipes and a substitute race mid-pipe which removes the muffler as an option. Of course, if you want to drive a sports car that can set a new world record, you will have to pay $21,999 for the package. UPDATE 12/30/2010: Don’t like the GT-R Alpha 9 in black? Well, neither did another customer who just commissioned AMS to provide him with a livelier color for the sports car. Commence Operation Agent Orange.

25 comments: Nissan GT-R Alpha 9 by AMS actually this package offers stock-like turbo spool up while boosting power output to an astounding 900 horsepower on race gas and 800 on pump gas.
 He recently released a Aston Martin Blanc de Blancs edition, but went the other direction with this Ferrari in a sleek black exterior.
 Yup. Definitely a 747-200. I still think Boeing and MT should have teamed up together for this photo shoot...in my dreams I guess.
 In as much as I like the GT-R, I would have to disagree with MT’s "move over Veyron there is a new king in town" comment. The Veyron will murder this. 125k for this much car is just phenomenal.
 Tears weld up in my eyes, as I watched it take off and looked at the specs. OMG!! He damn near broke the space time continuum. Like that other person said,
 All I can think of is a slight riff on the Top Gear test track vids at the airfield with the 747-200(?) in the parked in the background? Just a thought.
 First off, (chuckling) why is this supercar with super performance being pictured with an antiquated 1st-generation jetliner (DC-8)? I get the creative, artistic stance I guess...but, it would have been much cooler if it was pictured with the sleek new 787...c’mon, I had to say something, it’s what I do!
 what? are you considerig the GT-R as a vette? are you in this world? both cars are different, chassis, performance and even the style, vette’s design is for American which means muscle and gas gussling engine while the GT-R is the Japanese pride. you can never compare the GT-R to a Vette.
 The price and HP of this GTR are close with the ZR1. I would like to see some competition between the two.
