Eat this Nissan GTR....

[Housey]

....and Porsche and Chevy and anoyone else come to think of it. New production car record for the Ring, though to be fair it's not what I would call mass production.

7.12 minutes!





How many of you came in expecting me to post something about Porsche, be honest

And it costs £250k+?

15 seconds slower, costs 4-5 times less.

I'd still have the GTR!

I love the Gumpert. It might be bulbous and silly looking from some angles but that thing is mental. I wish they had gone through with the idea to test driving it upside down

It's like ten pin bowling...

To some it's about hitting pins to others it's about how hard you throw it.

Someone with more money than sense will buy one for the record time alone.

You could have applied the same reasoning to the GTR.

 

[Ricochet J]

You can keep applying that reasoning until you get to an Astra VXR. That's why there has to be a point where you draw the line. The GTR is where you draw the line!

 

[Housey]

It always makes me smile when people try to justify things on price. It's not about price, it's not actually about speed or records, they mean NOTHING. It's simply a car going quickly and to petrolheads it's interesting to have a nose and see where its making its time and carrying speed etc. To fanboys or stamp collectors it is of course all about justification...

 

[Barks]

Also the fact that the GTR is so easy to drive means it would take one hell of a good driver in something like that to keep up in real road situations.

 

[Housey]

The only reason I put a reference to the GT-R was to get everyone to have a nose, I know how emotive it is.

 

[Dr Who]

250k for a glorified lotus 7, no thanks, I'll take the GTR

xD

 

[Begbie]

CBA translating, but wow looks awesome. Would frinking love a shot in that!

I thought the Radical SR8 held the production car lap record with a 6.55?

True.

Im just thinking if the GTR was stripped down to the bare basics like the Gumpert is then I do wonder what it could do then...

It is according to Wiki!

I was expecting some form of edible GTR like in that Skoda ad where they made the cake
