Now this is the Nissan GT-R pumped up with steroids and inoculated with performance-enhancing nanobots for good measure. Damn. This is why tuners should rightfully play Dr. Frankenstein with cars. Sure some purists would frown upon what they do but tuning is all about squeezing out a car’s full potential.

And now even the automakers themselves are discouraging out-house tuning. Nissan just made some changes with their warranty cards stating that modifying the 2009 Nissan GT-R will void the car’s warranty. Perhaps this was done to appease the Japanese government’s drive to keep modded cars off streets.

But this latest tuned GT-R is the big kick in Nissan’s nuts. Enter the Power House Amuse Phantom GT-R - arguably the meanest and fastest GT-R out there. The tuning house successfully added 129 more horses and 138 lb-ft more torque from the 3.8L V6 twin-turbo. The grand total - 602 hp and 571 lb-ft of torque - figures that would put even proper thoroughbreds like Ferrari and Lambo to shame.

To achieve these numbers, they took out the GPS-based speed limiter and the ECM was retuned. The car sports a full titanium exhaust. The additional power enables the car to reach redline in a split second. And since you can’t add so much power, the suspension system is modified with stiffer springs and threaded sleeves. To shed some more weight, the car sports Recaro carbon-Kevlar racing seats.

This is Godzilla with psychosis.
