Car and Driver Drives the 1400 Horsepower AMS Alpha 12 GT-R at Willow Springs

AMS Alpha 12 Nissan GT-R at "big track" Willow Springs

How much power is enough? Mark Donahue supposedly said "it will never have enough power until I can spin the wheels at the end of the straightaway in high gear", in reference to the 1100-1500 horsepower Porsche 917 during development. 

In this case, Car and Driver Magazine takes the AMS built, Alpha 12 Nissan GT-R for a couple laps around Willow Springs. 

The AMS Performance Alpha 12 Nissan GT-R is the 1,400-horsepower answer to the docile 545-horsepower standard Nissan GT-R. We take the tuned Godzilla to Willow Springs Raceway on the latest episode of Car and Driver: Tested.
