SC = Supercharger?

[Ruergard]

SC = Supercharger?

Correct!

MTM have done an amazing job, thumbs up!

[Duma]

nice job !!!

I think what will really put this effort into perspective is the time the GTR does, as like the MTM S5 it too has, similar weight, awd (though technically more advanced) and similar power. The main differences lay with the gearbox which is a million miles away from a manual.

Based on this time I would expect the big Nissan to knock a full 3 seconds off it.

[Benman]

I'd have to agree with Leadie, would be nice to see what time the GT-R posts. But I'm not so sure it will knock a full 3 seconds off.

Allmost, 1786 Kg you must be joking.
That car is at leased 200 Kg to heavy.

OK, maybe 3 seconds is a bit optimistic but I was basing my opinion/estimates on the fact that the Ferrari 599 was 1.8s quicker and I know the GTR is quicker on any track than it. So maybe something between the 2~3 second mark.

Would you concur.

[Benman]

something between the 2~3 second mark.

Would you concur.

I'd say you would be spot on mate.

Is anybody have some pic' or video of that MTM S5...?

[Mr Balsen]

With this car, I did Paris - Ingolstadt in less than 5 hours (over 850 km)...

I don't think that is fair to compare this S5 to a GTR. It should be compared to a high performance luxury GT.

Other data:

0-100km/h - 4,3s
0-200km/h - 13,9s

Vmax 300km/h

1:13.8 on hockenheim using Michelin Pilot Sport 2 295/25/21 rubber!!!!!! Huge, but not race compound

My S5 is coming this summer,and after summer ill go to mtm to buy exhaust system and maybe supercharger......

Uhmm... that is what the GT-R is, a 2+2 Hi Po Grand Tourer.
