This Fast & Furious car was wanted by the FBI - then it was crushed

Before the Nissan Skyline GT-R became legal under the 25-year import rule, one company risked everything to bring it to the United States. This is the unbelievable story of Motorex - the company that crash-tested Skylines, supplied iconic cars for The Fast and the Furious, battled federal regulators, and became embroiled in one of the biggest import car scandals in American history. From million-dollar bonds and FBI investigations to stolen GT-Rs, crushed movie cars, and the disappearance of its controversial founder, this is the rise and fall of the company that changed the Skyline's legacy forever.

How global rallycross supercars hit 60 mph in 1.9 seconds

Regulations limit them to 2 liter engines and 45 millimeter turbocharger restrictor plates, which ultimately are the two factors limiting power. The engines produce about 600 horsepower, and over 650 lb-ft of torque, rocketing these machines from 0-60 in as fast as 1.9 seconds. 1.9 seconds! If we do the math, 60 mph is equivalent to 88 ft per second. 88/1.9 = 46.3 ft/sec squared, or if we divided by 32.2, it means the cars accelerate at over 1.4 longitudinal g’s!! That’s faster than any production vehicle, regardless of how much it costs. So how do they achieve such mind blowing acceleration? First and foremost, you’ll need all wheel drive and an absurd power to weight ratio. With a minimum weight of 2921 pounds including the driver and all fluids, the vehicles are carrying less than 5 pounds of weight for every horsepower the engine produces. All wheel drive is obviously critical for maximizing acceleration, but it’s also important that the engine torque finds its way to the wheels with the most traction. To do this, plate and ramp style mechanical limited slip differentials are used front and back. A shallow ramp angle in an LSD will lock up more easily under throttle. With the differential locked up, torque goes wherever it finds grip. A steep ramp angle will provide little lock-up, or if it’s as steep as 90 degrees, no lockup.
