GTR V-spec laps ring faster that carrera GT
 

From Auto Blog
The prototype Nissan GT-R V-Spec, wearing the "Victory Specification" designation reserved for the ultra high-performance Nissan GT-R, has been caught lapping the famed Nürburgring at an incredible, if not simply unbelievable, 7:25 per lap. This, according to bystanders trackside. (For comparison, Walter Röhrl lapped the Ring in 7:28 while driving a Porsche Carrera GT in 2004.)

In contrast to the standard Nissan GT-R, that made the run around the 'Ring in 7:38, the GT-R V-Spec has a new front splitter, modified rear spoiler, and different wheels. A more extensive use of carbon fiber has reportedly reduced the weight by upwards of 330 pounds. Of course, Nissan engineers also tweaked the twin-turbo powerplant for another 70 horses... or so.

Awesome news:respekt:

I'm thinking the V-Spec will have a tad over 600hp.

:yahoo: Amazing. :yahoo:

Who the hell cares???

Everyone knows its a super-fast Jap car with 4-wheel drive and shit loads of gizmos.

What's your beef? Can you not appreciate it for what it is?

some people can't respect other car makers. :respekt:

GTR def has my respect. what a machine

That's amazing,...now if they would just take some styling tips from others...

No i was referring to the fact it beats the Carrera GT. Who cares if it does? They are hardly competitors.

What were the OP's motives in posting it in this section?
