Its a shame anyone with photo sensitive epilepsy will never see the end of the film as they will be frothing at the mouth after the first 25 seconds.
Yes, why do they insist on this type of editing... just fast forward or go to the YouTube clip that shows just the run.Quite a piece of engineering

Wow that's very impressive to be the fastest GTR in the world with 250bhp less than this one

The looks on those faces of the guys getting pax rides at the end is a picture and a half.....bloody brilliant.....I HAVE to have a go in this....lol! http://alphagtr.com/alpha/models/alpha-12-package/

What I'm wondering is, if the stock spec car can do 190mph(can't remember exact), then with more than double the power, it's only able to go 'that' much faster?
Air gets very 'thick' at high speed and needs an awful lot of shove to push through. ETA: Here you go http://www.bobnorwood.com/300%20mph%C2%A0%20The%20...

Be careful - when you start trying to see a point in most cars, they become pointless - it's the path to old age and a grey life...
Agreed. All of us could probably go through life with a slow ass Honda Accord or an Avensis, as owning anything else is pointless. Supercars are probably the most pointless. But life would be so dull...rhinochopig said:

I know, aero drag is proportional with the square of speed. I'm well versed in aerodynamics and drag effects. ETA: Here you go http://www.bobnorwood.com/300%20mph%C2%A0%20The%20...
That's not really what I'm getting at though. I've seen other tuners car go faster with less power. Surely if they wanted to get a better top speed, they could have made some drag reduction modifications.

Gearing on this car is higher than standard but it would clearly go faster given more than the 1.1 miles at Marham. GroundEffect said:

Impressive stuff. Why did Bugatti have so many issues with the Veyron and cooling when a tuner in Telford can get bigger bhp figures? 
The Veyron is designed to be used every day and will replicate that run over and over without failure.This GT-R? Wouldn't be sure.

Probably because Bugatti's engineers stretched it out to get more money from the VAG group and a nice bonus for fixing the problem

Firstly thank you to all the people on here for there postive comments. My name is Amar and I am part of the Team @ SVM I just want to clarify a few points that certain members have made on here.
1, The Record is Offical ! see below:
2, This is a road car and ran the event in normal road guise
3, The Speed we achieved was in 218.01 mph as timed by Racelogic over a distance of 1.1 miles
4, We know that the AMS Alpha cars are very very fast and that AMS are Top Dogs at this game, We
are a small UK Based company who try our best.
5, The Colour of the GT-R or graphics are purely to make the car stand out, good or bad it will make
people talk !
I have below listed info that some of you may find interesting to back up the video that you have
already seen.
On 17th March 2012 Severn Valley Motorsport achieved a Top Speed of 218.01 Mph in "The HULK" @ RAF Marham.
The Recording Equipment was provided by Racelogic and we thank them for the use of the
following :
1 x Video VBOX PRO 20hz inc External GPS Antenna ( Fully Calibrated)
1 x Performance Box 10hz with External GPS Antenna (Fully Calibrated)
2 x Performance Box 10hz with Internal GPS Antenna (Fully Calibrated)
The Reason that Racelogic decided to install so many Data logging units is because they did not want any discrepancies from anyone. ( Call this way beyond all reasonable doubt)
Some of you may question why is the speed registered on MLR Forum as 217.97mph, this is because they were all using the Perfomance Box 10 hz machines, the Video VBOX PRO is a 20hz unit and is more accurate. That is why we ran both types of units side by side. Hence the registered official speed is 218.01mph.
We also took one of their team in the HULK to give him a feel of the acceleration of the beast. John was shaking even on Monday LOL
This is the highest recorded Top Speed for a R35 GT-R anywhere in the World, not only that but the result was achieved in the wet, heavy rain showers persisted during the course of the entire day.We have also been informed that there was a diagonal head wind against the car of approx 10mph.Bodes well for future runs, hopefully dry day and no headwind = Improved speed & Time !
As you can see from the video the GT-R did not achieve full throttle Acceleration until 4th gear, eating up valuable tarmac. The Distance from this point was well under 1 mile, however the total distance covered from 30mph to terminal speed was 1.1miles. We are very confident that the HULK will achieve 220mph in 1mile or less in the dry.
We are in discussions with RAF Marham about a return visit in the dry to better our own record!
We have been privileged enough to be given permission to use Video Footage of the Day by RAF Marham.
As you will see from the video at the end of the run area there are braking zones, the first one is 2 car widths wide and the 2nd one is 1 car width wide, not something that you wish to drive through at 220mph (There is bravery driving in the wet at that speed, then there is being nuts taking the braking risk ...lol...The safety of both driver and car was of utmost importance so we aired on caution & Braked well before the 1st marker)
This is an official Data Sheet from Race Logic
Below is a certificate that has been presented to us by Race logic
Just for the record we have compared the data from the HULK with a Bugatti Veyron Supersport :
Speed Time Vehicle
110 - 130 mph 1.90secs Veyron SS
110 - 130 mph 1.47secs HULK GT-R
180 - 200 mph 6.00secs Veyron SS
180 - 200 mph 3.71secs HULK GT-R
I apologise for any mistakes, and hope we get support to keep the record in the UK !
Regards
Amar
