Nissan recently asked the question “what if the world’s fastest man went even faster?” and so they matched the extreme power of the GT-R with the famous world record sprinter Usain Bolt.
So they sent out Australian Formula 1 driver Mark Webber to pick up Bolt from the airport and now they are on their way to the track. The Red Bull driver knows a thing or two about car control, so maybe he’ll be the one to help Bolt max out the Nissan, most likely at Suzuka.
Mind you, the GT-R for the 2013 model year is one dangerous beast which will have to be tamed. With a max power of 550 PS, it can blitz the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) run in just 2.84 seconds and has a top speed of 196 mph OR 315 km/h.
What would Nissan be without this car? Boring, that’s what!
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
