2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo 0-60 MPH Review: Is the new Sentra Turbo Fast? [Video]

Nissan has shown us that they are capable of making some seriously fast cars. The GTR hits 60 MPH in under 3 seconds, blasting the doors off of many of the worlds best supercars. So, have they been able to translate that type of performance into the 2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo? Well they have certainly cranked a decent amount of power out of the 1.6L four-cylinder turbo engine. In total, the little motor makes 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque which is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, all of which powers the front wheels.
