Nissan GT-R Nurburgring Record – the Video

The news from Nissan lately has been on the Nissan 370Z Yellow and on how two guys managed to buy the £60,000 Nissan GT-R using the UK Scrappage Scheme. But as we’ve reported on several occasions, Nissan has been storming the Nurburgring with its budget Supercar – the Nissan GT-R. And finally, that record breaking lap has found its way on to video.

Nissan has set several quick times at the Nurburgring in the GT-R – much to the consternation of Porsche who have accused Nissan of cheating – and this record lap was set during marathon few days back in April, where the Nissan GT-R set a Nurburgring time of  7:26.7.

This video has Japanese commentary at the beginning – but who cares. It’s the lap you’re looking at. Driven by Nissan’s Chief Test Driver Toshio Suzuki, it’s a cracking lap and well worth the 8 minutes it takes to watch.

It looks likely that Nissan has now finished playing with the 2010MY Nissan GT-R at the Nurburgring. But they could be back soon with the Nissan GT-R V Spec.

That will be interesting. I wonder how upset Porsche will get?
