Nissan sets new time at the 'Ring with standard GT-R (Official)
Nissan's GT-R supercar has achieved a lap time at the infamous Nürburgring in Germany of 7:29.
Recorded on April 16 and 17, the GT-R used was a base specification car and fitted with the standard Japanese market tyres.
Driven by GT-R chief test driver Tochio Suzuki, this latest lap time beats the previous fastest time for the GT-R by nine seconds.
The previous best lap time for GT-R of 7:38, also driven by Suzuki, was one of the fastest laps achieved by a production car despite conditions being slightly damp on two corners.
"At last year's testing, we were frustrated by the conditions at the Nürburgring, always believing that the GT-R could go under seven minutes 30 seconds," said Kazutoshi Mizuno, Chief Vehicle Engineer for GT-R.
"Below seven minutes 30 seconds, the GT-R proves it is among the fastest mass-production cars in the world.
"We set out to build a multi-performance supercar accessible to anyone, anytime and anywhere - I believe the GT-R has delivered that promise."

Hmm... that means V-Spec will have to be doing 7:20 or less.
But more importantly it was on stock tires!

lol i feel sorry for all the fanboiz living in there own little P world. Even tho its official time but they still and wont ever believe it. I just dont get it, i know that a 70k msrp car beat a over 100k P car. But that is life, you will never be a top dog. You dont hear Fcar or Lambo car complaining, even tho they are slower. At least there are some Pcar peep that give prop for GTR being overwieght but yet faster car. I respect them and they truely love there car because they have no jealousy in them yet open minded.
fanboyz finally broke you down huh?
