Overview

The VRX30A was designed in partnership by Nissan and Cosworth, who used the GT-R GT500 NRE engine as a "general philosophy". [3] The car was originally planning to produce 2,000  hp (1,500  kW ; 2,000  PS ), but this was reduced, with the engine pushing out roughly 500 hp (370 kW; 510 PS). [4] The engine has a capacity of 3.0  L (2,998  cc ) with a bore of 88  mm (3.46  in ) and stroke of 82.2 mm (3.24 in). It is twin-turbocharged, features gasoline direct injection and is managed by a Cosworth engine control unit. [5] [6]
