weird, but kind of stupid. PS is a unit of measure, why even bother listing it in PS if its not PS. meh.

:dunno: but thats the way its been done on that car... but here is one reason.. every engine is hand built and is supposed to vary up to 2% in output so saying a GTR has 480 or 485 is just marketing to begin with

you should see some of the early dynos of the first 2009's they were all over the place compared to GTR built just a few months later... somewhere between 10 and 20hp more on the same dyno...


but who knows maybe it will change when the US specs are announced nov 17th... just saying if it goes by what it has been in previous years it will be the same HP as PS for one reason or another

More goodies. Top Gear link

"After its unannounced Paris motor show tease, Nissan has confirmed its freshly squeezed hulking behemoth now packs a terrifying 525bhp (up from 476bhp) and 451lb ft of torque."

"That's not all though, friends of GT-R. The SpecV GT-R gets an overboost function with improved torque over the 'standard' model (466lb ft between 3,200 and 6,000rpm), different rear brake pads and a modified traction control setting, while two new special editions have been launched: the GT-R 'Club Track' edition and 'Egoist'.

The Track spec GT-R is a, erm, track-special GT-R built for racers, while the Egoist is one for the poseurs, with a dizzying combination of body, paint and interior customisation options to help make the GT-R slightly prettier. Rather like putting lipstick on a Bull Mastiff. Unadvisable and disturbing..."

PS is the same unit of measure as US HP. The difference comes in how things are tested, SAE testing is different than JDM testing.

UK hp is different because UK hp is a slightly different scale to US hp, about 1.01:1.
