Vehicle Specs
| Spec | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 8.2 | Good top end, gearing is tall for autobahn cruising |
| Handling | 7.5 | AWD grip, but 1,740 kg hurts agility |
| Acceleration | 9.0 | ATTESA AWD launches are devastating |
| Launch | 9.2 | 0-100 km/h in 2.8s — GT-R's party piece |
| Braking | 7.8 | Strong but the weight works against stopping distance |
| Off-Road | 3.0 | Surprisingly capable on gravel with the right tires |
| PI (Stock) | 830 | Mid S1, solid upgrade headroom |
