Nissan GT-R


In what could be a sign of things to come for local buyers of the Nissan GT-R, Japanese car maker Nissan has launched what they call a ‘Race Academy’ for customers who have pre-ordered the Godzilla. In the UK for instance, customers will be offered the opportunity to participate in Race Academy events at either the Silverstone F1 circuit or at the Nürburgring race track in Germany.

Stephane Cottin, Vice President, Marketing for Nissan in Europe said: "All of us at Nissan who have been working on the launch of this fantastic car want to provide a customer experience for GT-R customers which reflect the passion they have for GT-R, a passion which is matched by our own. It's important to us that GT-R customers enjoy everything about the car - and these customer events will give customers the opportunity to fully enjoy the GT-R's capabilities on a track, while they await delivery of their car."

The events are scheduled for August and September and will give customers their first opportunity to get up close and personal with the all-new GT-R before they take delivery of their own vehicle. Customers will get one-on-one tuition and over 45 minutes behind the wheel of the GT-R with a racing instructor. There will also be the opportunity to learn how to ‘drift’ in a Nissan 350Z and to obtain a full racing licence further down the track.

Nissan GT-R 7:29 video


When it was first reported that a stock Nissan GT-R had done a revised time of just 7 min 29 seconds at the famous Nurburgring, some people were left privately thinking if it was possible at all.

Could the GT-R really be THAT quick? Its original time of 7 min 38 seconds - albeit on a slightly damp track - had already left car fans worldwide dumbfounded and to shave off another nine seconds seemed just a bit too far-fetched.




Well, here's 'videographic' proof that it can. In this video, the GT-R - in the very capable hands of chief test driver Tochio Suzuki - attacks a dry Nurburgring and yields an utterly blistering time of 7:29.
