Just a few days after a new Nissan GT-R quarter mile world record was set by Ekanno Racing in Bahrain, former record holder AMS Performance has just reclaimed the title with its latest project car.

Owned by car collector and drag racing enthusiast Gidi Chambi, this GT-R has been dubbed the Alpha G and differs from other AMS GT-Rs as its massive aftermarket turbochargers now protrude out of the front bumper, rather than retaining their standard location in the engine bay.

This, and a host of other modifications, allow the car to pump out an insane 2,500 hp, enough to rocket it down the quarter mile in just 7.14 seconds at 212 mph (341 km/h), slightly ahead of the former record which stood at 7.16 seconds at 209 mph (336 km/h).

AMS Performance holds the accolades of building the world’s first 9-second GT-R, the first 8-second GT-R and the first 7-second GT-R. If history is anything to go by, this particular GT-R could soon crack the 6-second barrier, becoming the first to do so.
