Adrian PatonUK Fifth Gear's Jason Plato drives the Nissan GT-R
February 27th 2008 10:30
UK motoring show Fifth Gear has pipped rivals Top Gear by securing the first drive of the phenomenal Nissan GT-R (R35) in Britain.
Driven by race driver Jason Plato - we thought Tiff Needell would have bagged the keys to this one - the Godzilla is taken for a quick fang around a racetrack to display cornering speeds of up to 1Gs as shown on the built-in display by the makers of the GranTurismo video game.
Plato thinks the car is phenomenal but says the car's computer has given it two personalities. He says that it's brilliant in a slow-speed hairpin but lets itself down on the longer medium-speed to fast corners where it wants to understeer too much.
