The Stig drives Nissan GT-R


Sure, the Nissan GT-R's Nurburgring lap-time is impressive, but funnily enough, the lap time that everyone's been waiting for is how fast the Godzilla can lap around the Top Gear test track with 'tame racing driver', the Stig, behind the wheel.

Well, the wait is over. Finally.





A Nissan GT-R was apparently flown from Japan to the UK for the sole purpose of giving the Stig a chance to lap it around the Top Gear test track and the time does not disappoint. But does it embarrass the likes of Porsche's 911 Turbo yet again? What about exotics such as Ferrari and Lamborghini?

Find out by watching the 10-minute video clip.

Top Gear Nissan GT-R


In the latest episode of Top Gear - arguably the world's most popular motoring show - Jeremy Clarkson hops into the venerable Nissan GT-R for the first time and he does so on Japanese soil.

Why? To race Richard Hammond and James May - travelling on the famous bullet trains - across 400 miles of Japan (from Hakui to Mt. Nokogiri Yama through Tokyo) to find out which is faster - the Godzilla or the Bullet Train.

As per all Top Gear episodes, especially their famous 'races', there's plenty of laughs and dramas along the way so sit back and enjoy the following two part video from viddler or the four-part YouTube clips, all embedded here for your convenience!
