Nissan GT-R Nismo at Nurburgring

By: CAR magazine

A few days ago we brought you a story on our other site www.carmag.co.za about the impending unveiling of the most powerful roadgoing Nissan GT-R yet, the Nismo variant.

As news of that car filtered through the internet Nissan also announced ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show that it’s new model had just set a Nurburgring lap time of 07 min 08,69 seconds. That time puts up right near the top of the list of times set by road cars keeping company with super- and hypercars costing several times as much.

Watch the record-breaking lap from inside the car and listen to Nissan works driver Michael Krumm explain how he achieved the time.
