The NISMO apparently thinks it is just enough "normal" version is this. We were told that because these guys to run a sub-Nordschleife in 7 minutes 10 seconds of their tour, and to do it, they want to know that we are developing a more radical version of the piece you are looking for Nismo package now. made about a year in the oven still Knob; they would still kicking around baby names. 08.68 and will be least $ 200,000 property: Nismo know what part of the package car that ran a seventh time. This is a street just off 11 ticks to $ 847,975 Porsche 918 6:57 lap record for the most recent legal car.

This is not a stock GT-R Nismo, but I will be sitting for a tour. I'm getting old FIA GT1 champion ran with 07:08 Michael Krumm. He is a professional, so I do not find racing garb and full-face helmet into a six-point seat belt straps strange time. "Perhaps, this hold?" He says the sign in the center console. "And try not to touch me."

In contrast to the usual component input direction Krumm turns left out of the pit. That process is warming up the tires, car sashays along the way. About halfway down the long straight, we turn around and set up in front of the pit like Nissan to accelerate the start and finish lines correctly.

We start counting timer-car passes the pits. An eerie three-digit number of corners on the first 40 seconds or so hills road has a relatively low-speed left-right transitions. We 152 mph to 111-mph corner of the land, and brake fly on a hill. I would notice that it lacks a gentle cycle ride KRUMM; A 174-mile persuades me that blind corner.

Moving air stable ledge next to each front fender car small dive planes. 188 mph, aero package, rear downforce on the front axle and a half tons creates a claim £ 4,000. Nevertheless, we get three times the air.

This' Ring to be my fourth time, I know that most of the really scary things first on the high-speed four minutes later through the hills. survival rates go up exponentially from there. Past four-minute mark, the majority of corners requires actual braking. Braking for corners is a good thing. Krumm continues his blistering speed. Even after the bite block, forcing the car shakes, four-wheel drive system is still able to gradually send us hurtling 595 horses to the right tires for the next corner.

Krumm but apexing 185 mph corner before going full throttle. Left-right-left switch comes with a long uphill before the finish line. Before you dig into the hill Brakes GT-R goes more than 150 miles.
