I've never been a fan of the styling of the GTR but it is one amazing car.

Science! | true, if you ever see a slow camera on how high performance cars launch, there actually is a lot more wheel spin and power loss than you think.
sophisticated launch control will hopefully fix this problem.
Mizuno san also said how efficient GT-R's drive trains are...thus, less power loss.
on a side note...I'm not a physics guy and didn't understand your formula at all

I don't really understand why this is a thread. This isn't an announcement, a review, or anything other than some random person speculating/dreaming that the 2015 GTR will achieve this. Who the fuck is Viknesh Vijayenthiran?
I realize this is a Timpo thread but this thread has less content than even the average fucking Timpo thread.
Might as well have started this thread:
"2018 Porsche 992 to have 5 wheels"

Yeah I can Google too. He also comes up for Fox News... super trustworthy! I guess a better question is who is High Gear Media and what does Viknesh know that the rest of the world doesn't about the new GTR?

Interesting read.
AWD, at least during the initial short-distance drag racing, for Nissan, makes it quicker than many, many cars. Quote:

Science! | Interesting take.
Just want to add the following:
Only 415hp required?
Did you factor in the power loss from crank to wheels?
And... head-wind speed?
I think it is around 15% to 25% for AWD.
So, 415hp, assuming 25% power loss is:
553hp.
The current GT-R, 2012 model, produces 542hp (crank).
So, the newest rendition proposed by the article's writer should be around 553hp and should be doable, with a little tweak here and there.

Very interesting. There's already a lot of respect for this car and if the GTR can actually hit 60 in 2 then wow, it'll be on a whole new level. I really don't care how they do it, as long as they claim they would then I'm sure they will. Now let's wait and see.

All that being said, I really, really doubt it will. As others have posted, there is almost no room for losses with those numbers.

Science! | my friend, you are simply calculating the kinetic energy of a 3800 lbs object traveling at a constant 60 mph.

And energy is conserved, so the energy required to accelerate an object to that constant speed is equal to the kinetic energy at that speed.

Air resistance on a GTR at 60mph:
D = 1/2pV^2*C*A
D = 1/2 * (1.204kg/m^3) * (60mph)^2 * .32 * 6.08ft^2
D = 17.5 pounds
Negligible.

How it started to move to a constant velocity on a frictionless surface is beyond me. But somehow it did, and your formula is calculating the KE of that object.
I'm not going to go any further into this kinematics debate. This is about the GTR after all. My only point is that you are neglecting a lot of variables (thermodynamics for example) which plays a crucial point. Have you even considered the horsepower wasted in form of heat due to the inefficiency of the engine? For you to say that the GTR has more power than your theoretical 415 hp and claim that it is "doable" for it to achieve 0-60 in 2.0 s is flawed.

You need to stop having this conversation, you look foolish. I was very specific. Horsepower applied to the road, and average horsepower. Yes, you obviously need higher than 415hp peak to hit that time, that's what average means. All I said is that it was physically possible, not that it was likely or has happened.

so does this mean that we will start seeing this Nismo GTR here once its released driving by mainlanders thinking they are race car drivers who in fact cant drive and drive like shit then goes to MM design to make it look the part???
back on topic,
cant wait til Top Gear does a review and stig ripping it around their track.. will it beat the Pagani Huayra

As we know Honda engineers announced that NSX will be faster than the GT-R...they probably were aiming for 2.5 seconds or so but now need to aim for 1.9 seconds LOL
