AMS Performance brought the Antigua/Barbuda Alpha 12 GT-R to the October 2011 Texas Mile in an effort to set a new world record for the fastest R35 GT-R. Even with windy and unfavorable conditions at this fall’s Mile event, the Alpha 12 owned by Andrew Hadeed of Antigua Barbuda was able to secure the title of world’s fastest R35 GT-R with a top speed of 216.9mph!

Our dealer in Romania Exelixis Motorsport has been busy building quite the GT-R. All the work was done in house by Exelixis but at the heart of the car is an AMS ALPHA 12 turbo kit! On their local dyno it managed right around 1015whp. Here are some pictures of the car and a dyno chart:

As you know, AMS has been hard at work pushing Tim Sanders’ ALPHA 12 GT-R to extreme, unseen limits. Admittedly, it hasn’t exactly been an easy road

Recently, we tested Tim Sanders’ ALPHA 12 GT-R on the AMS Mustang Dyno. The car made 1000ft-lbs of torque on the dyno when it started to push water. We pulled the engine to see what was going on and how things were holding up. For the most part, things looked good but the VR38 Engine was starting to show points of weakness. We made some modifications and prepared to test again.

This week we headed to the track for some test passes and to put a little more R&D into the Alpha package. We started the day running 9.3@160 on about 950 whp and steadily increased it to almost 1000Whp (Mustang Dyno) where we ran a best trap of 163mph. It was then that we broke our first rear axle on a GT-R. Thanks to Ivan’s quick work, we swapped it out and continued testing. Read more…

A lack of good weather and open tracks around Chicago made the TX2K11 Nationals a great opportunity for us to bring Tim Sanders’ Alpha 12 for some preliminary quarter mile track testing. During one of the test and tune sessions, Sander’s gray Alpha 12 was able to fire off a 9.1@159.97 run. The car is not dialed in to its full potential as of yet, but considering this was its first time to the track, the outcome was still very much a success.

We will have more updates on the Alpha 12 as the weather gets warmer and the tracks open up here in the Chicago area.
