GTR Puts Porsche To Shame Again



Nissan GT-R, people always get skeptical about its capabilities. Anyway, the Nissan clearly understanding this principle, held almost nothing back in building their latest sport scar. Remember its astonishing 7m 29s run around the ‘Ring, which beat out the Porsche 911 GT2 by several seconds. Porsche tried to defend their honor by calling “shenanigans,” which Nissan defended by releasing video of the run and allowing anybody to inspect the car used for excess tuning or non-stock parts.

Nissan decided to put their slightly updated 2010MY GT-R to the test. This latest model provide five more horsepower to the table for 485hp plus modified launch control, retuned gearbox, slightly larger fuel tank, better fuel economy, retuned suspension, and sticky tires. Before its run on the Nurburgring, they also added the optionally available Rays forged alloys.


With former F1 stand-in driver Toshio Suzuki behind the wheel, the 2010 GT-R posted a time of 7 minutes 27.56 seconds, beating last year’s model by 1.5 seconds, and increasing its dominance over the 911 GT2. Yeah!!!
Despite the time, the manufacturer claimed that “although dry, the track surface grip was impaired by dust and sand.”(win already still so humble man ^_^) So, Nissan wants another shot. They’re aiming for the time GM posted on their 2009 Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1. Nissan will take the GT-R back to circuit in the hopes of beating the ‘Vette’s time of 7 minutes 26.4 seconds.



*GTR, I personal truly wish you all the best! Gambateh~*
