hmm my exchange program claims that 3792lbs (the officle claim) are 1720kg... now I have wrote 1720kg here in the datasheet and it transfers it into 3784lbs... not a big different but one calculation program is wrong :)

Nissan GT-R is a legend. Based on the best import tuner Nissan Skyline GT-r, this supercar is probably the best on track and road. Not bad on speed either. Lamborghini fans, be afraid.

Anonymous 3 years ago
Also, this car is much cheaper than regular supercars and is like a hypercar. Ex. Koenigsegg, Lambo, Pagani, and Saleen

What a bunch of BS! Ref???? Shameless claims.

Heyhuub 3 years ago
I'v deleted the Nuburgring times for now, i want some hard proof, not some wild claims. One of the Nissan engineers even said it probably wouldn't get under 7:44.

Anonymous 3 years ago
Not the amazing 'Exotica influence' it was once hailed to be eh? Ah well, I'll go back to Porsche now.

i've just read a claim of "7:38:54 Nurburgring - Nissan GT-R" from Nissan @ Tokyo Auto Show waiting for confirmation

Anonymous 3 years ago
The Nissan GT-R did do that time: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=123066 There is also supposedly a video on youtube of the in-car vid...

In car vid of the nurburgring run at 7:38 http://youtube.com/watch?v=uGe_fyhQazg

Georg 3 years ago
the video CLEARLY shows a INCOMPLETE lap by 6seconds... at video time 1:01min the GT-R pass the pont were later the clock stops... at 1:07min the GT-R pass the point were the laptime clock starts... 6seconds cut off...7:38.5min +6seconds = 7:44.5min...means slower as the Turbo and the Z06..end off message

Isn't it the way how all cars are timed in Nordschleife - excluding the pitstop section?

FastestLaps 3 years ago
Where's the reference for 7:35? We need a direct link to some major car test not the internet adress of Italian car blog "Autoblog.it". "Autoblog.it" is not a reference. I can't see anything about GTR-R's Nordschleife lap time in Autoblog.it front page. And I don't quite believe that this car is able to achieve 7:35. If, however, it is then people who build Porsches and Ferraris are idiots with no idea of how to build a sports car.

Mike 3 years ago
try this link 7:38 and the race conditions was not really good so it maybe can do faster.http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/auto_-_produkte/hxcms_article_507 679_13987.hbs

It was still a pre-production vehicle, so we won't know if it's the same as the production model.

Heyhuub 3 years ago
SO guys , since the 7:38 time keeps being added. What should i do. It's clear it's a pre production model and unknown if it's the same as the actual production car. So should i leave the time standing, or should i delete it? Also when i played the video in sync with the Z06 video from sport auto you could also clearly see that the GT-R outran the Z06 on the straights. Last i checked 480hp and 1750kg couldn't do that.

let it there till independent production vehicle tests are avaible

A lot of other cars are timed the way the GT-R is timed here. What evidence is there that Porsche and GM times a "complete" lap? Do they have an in-car video to prove that? No. If Nissan released this video to the public then it must mean that it is an industry-accepted timing method, otherwise they would get hounded on by Porsche and what not.

joe 3 years ago
Georg, everyone knows a complete nordschleife lap is 20.8km....but does Porsche have hard evidence to prove that they timed it at 20.8km? No.

joe 3 years ago
Also, look at the Radical SR8 video on youtube. If you use the timer on the video and start and stop timing at the exact same places where the GT-R is timed, you see that the Radical SR8's time is 6:55 WITHOUT the final pit straight.

Heyhuub 3 years ago
That's not the point, the point is that it's not a production car. It's still a prototype with unknown modifications.

Georg 3 years ago
@joe For the last Autobild edition Walter Röhrl laped the 997 GT2 on a slightly damp cold track in 7:32.18min that is only 1 second of the factory claim..and autobild use the full 20.8km lap http://a71.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/121/l_e8061df271e1d 1d3146a87fb74b41a46.jpg the lap sheet... 20.8km 7:32.18min

Nissan are dirty cheaters. All manufacturers rent the track and do full laps. Nissan had the track rented for the day, so no need to do "public-day style timing". 6 seconds cheat there. MORE: Nissan used hand-cut slicks, according to this: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=17066 Delete this dirty claim!

Anonymous 3 years ago
By the way that article is written by Fifth Gear presenter and PH scribbler Jonny Smith. Not a John Doe. Read: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=17066 . SLICKS, racing tires, not the production run-flats.

Georg 3 years ago
The time is cheated and it is officle now!!!!! GTR chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno told PistonHeads that his baby had covered over 3000 miles at the Nordschleife and avoided other circuits as they were deemed 'too easy'. Nissan's original target was to beat the 911 Turbo at the 'ring but they ended up worrying the Porsche Carrera GT. They didn't beat the GT's 7min 32sec lap time, but got a 7.38 in semi-wet conditions. 'We used cut slick tyres' said Mizuno. 'I was not interested in full slick times as this bears no resemblance to a road tyre. 1.2G of force was being pulled in wet and over 2 in dry'. Cut slicks is miles away from a road legal tire and explains everything.. remove the time http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=23&t=455380
