Nissan is back with more defiance of the laws of physics and more record laps that will have Porsche engineers enraged.
This time, the most hardcore version of the current generation GT-R, the Nismo tuned model, took to the track in the hopes of shattering all the previous records. We're talking about the 7:24.22 time set by a 530 hp 2011 GT-R, or the 7:19:10 set by the 2012 model with 550 hp.
Did the Japanese achieve what they want? Yes. With a time of 7:08.679, the Nismo supercar is only slower than the Porsche 918 Spyder and a couple of Radicals right now.
Check out full track footage of the 600 horsepower monster demolishing the Nordschleife and all its competitors in one go.
