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]
